work upon some minute models Of the
wonderful Bang sun engine, not over

and two inches in depth, neat and beau
tifnlly giided, and these supported the
tiniest imaginable OF buzzers-mere
shreds Of tongues which alternated be-
tween tiny electric magnets-and after
these had been set in the sun for e
short while they each set up keen,
sharp, small. high note. like an infant
cricket's. which spoke volumes for the
wonders that the big machines could
accomplish.
Then Mr.. WallinGford went 10 Mr..
Morley at the Commercial bank and
exposed the full breadth Of his chest
and shoulders, the fun pinkness Of his
round face, the full radiance Of his
confident smile.

"No," insisted Mr.. Morley. and then

hand in friendly confidence upon Mr..
Wallingtords knee. Il might, how
