CHERISHED LOST LOVE
Rejected Inventor Came Into His
Own Through Patent Con-
tributi0n Box.
BY CECILLE LANGDON.

1t was a patent rat trap that broke
up the engagement Of Miss Viola Bar
ton and Alvin Draper. 1t had sundered
them, brought out sharp definite an
nouncement from the estimable lady.
and a declaration from Alvin that it
would make no difference-he would
always cherish his lost love and
hope.
"She was always fine as silk" In
sisted Alvin a year afterwards-"she's
finer than ever now. l don't see her
often nowadays, but she's always
friendly when we do meet. Maybe
time will make a difference-time and
my damage suit"
The damage suit" was history in
the town. 1t all came out Of the rat
trap. Alvin had been left quite a
competence by his father. He had
been always of an inventive turn. His
bright ideas and lovable. guileless ma.
ture had attracted Viola at the first
Then, after he had wasted time and
money in getting up various devices
that neither paid nor worked out, she
began to prod him up to get into some
steady, reliable business.
When Alvin invented his great rat
trap his dancee did not say much, for
1t looked as though he had really
struck 1t at last. Manufacturers OF
hardware specialties encouraged him.
and some spectators rendered him q
small fortune for half interest The
proud and hopeful Alvin refused all
offers.
81 know good thing when I see
It," he declared, land I've got one this
time"
At the zenith of his inventive glory
however, there came dampener. He
was sued for infringement on q pre-
vious patent. His attorneys told hin
that 1t was a straight hold-up, that he
would surely win eventually. He wor
the contention in one court. but the
decision was appealed. Two year,
passed by, and the case was still
pending. It had cost him several thou
sand dollars in legal fees. and after hi
had stubbornly resisted the pleading
of Viola to forget the whole thing and
