making motor cars: I hear there's 6 great deal in manufacturing these ] things that motor cars use-neW inven ! tiOnS particularly. l met dear old Frank Bronson the other day, and he l told me"
 'Oh, yes, even dear old Franks got the fever," Anderson laughed. He's as wild as any of them. He told me about this invention he's gone into too. Millions In it!' Some new cleo l tric headlight better than anything yet-'eVery car in America can't help but have 'em,' and all that. He's put ting half he's laid by into it, and the fact is he almost talked me into get ting father to finance me- enough for me to go into it. Poor father! he's financed me before! I suppose he would again if had the heart to ask him. At any rate I've been thinking 1t over"
 "So have l." Fanny admitted. "He seemed to be certain it would pay twenty-five per cent the first year, and enormously more after that; and Pm only getting four on my little princi- pal. People are making such enor- nous fortunes out of everything to do with motorcars, it does seem as if" She paused. "Well, told him I'd think it over seriously"
 we may turn out to be partners and milliOnaires then," Anderson laughed. "I thought I'd ask Eugene's advice"
 T wish you would" said Fanny. "He probably knows exactly how much profit there would be in this"
 Eugenes advice was to "go slow" he thought electric lights for automo- piles were "cOming-some day." but probably not until certain difficulties could be overcome.

 George Anderson also laid stress on caution later, though the Major had financed him" again, and he was "go- ing in." "YOu must be careful to leave yourself margin of safety Fanny" he said. You must be careful to leave yourself enough to fall back on, in case anything should go wrong"
 Fanny deceived him. In the im- possible event of anything going wrong" she would have enough left to Hive on." she declared, and laughed excitedly, for she was having the best time that had come to her since. Will bur's death. Like so many women for whom money has always been pro- vided without their understanding how. she was prepared to be thor ough and irresponsible plunger.
 Anderson, in his wearier way, shared her excitement. and in the winter. when the exploiting company had been formed. and he brought Fanny her importantly engraved shares of stock, he reverted to his pre- diction of possibilities. made when they first spoke of the new light.
 We seem to be partners, all right. he laughed. Now let's go ahead and be millionaires before Isabel and young George come home"
 "When they come hOme!" she echoed sorrowfully-and 1t was phrase which found an evasive echo in Isabers letters. In these letters Isabel was always planning pleasant things that she and Fanny and the Major and George and ''brother
