It was the widows turn to be surprised. Why, books, of course. I ordered a set of books from MT. Aldersea some time ago, and they haven't come"
 "Oh-books. Sam relaxed and sank back in her chair. Tt wasn't anything but books!"
 Just books. I thought perhaps
 
 One moment, Mrs. Frye. I can see you haven't heard She spoke gently. Fourth isn't selling books any more He has given it up"
 Oh" The widow said the word quietly, but Sam noticed patches of red suddenly burned in her cheeks. "Oh, he isn't selling books any more"
 No" There was pause so long and so awkward that Sam finally felt called upon to amplify her statement. He never liked 1t very well, you know, because he always realized that he isn't a natural salesman. He says it's a great relief now that he's out of it altogether"
 How can he be out of it?" Eu- genie spoke sharply and with blunt earnestnesS. T thought he said he had very little money. Has he found another job?"
 Tn a way" Sam frowned, being uncertain as to just how much she should say. Then she shrugged. "As matter of fact, Mrs. Frye, Fourth has had an extraordinary piece of luck in a financial way"
 Oh" It seemed for moment as though Eugenie were ill. She swayed slightly and her eyes clos ed. When she spoke, her voice was dull. He's inherited money, I sup pose"
 "No.' once more Sam shrugged.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1931-10-24

"The fact is, Mrs Frye, that Fourth has found someone to back his invention. They bought the pat ent rights and are paying him a salary to help them get the thing ready for the market It's all very surprising, but it seems to be true Fourth says"
 Wait a minutew Eugenie was on her feet, staring. Wait a min ute till I get this straight. You aren't talking about that circuit breaker thing. It can't be that!"
 But it is, Mrs. Frye" Sam shrugged Fourth never invented anything else, and I doubt if he ever will"
 T don't believe it!" The widow seemed shaken by something very much like excited indignation That circuit breaker isn't worth nickle! It's impractical"
 T know. That's what We all thought. The A. A. Burke Manu- featuring Company, however, felt differently. They bought it."
 How could they?' Eugenie's be- wilderment was complete. She made incredulous gestures. How could they spend good money for some thing that isn't worth anything? {? tell you, Miss Sherrill, that it isn't worth cent! I had it in- vestigated, and I knowl"
 You had it investigated?"
 Of course" The words tumbled out breathlessly. If there had been anything in it at all I'd have backed it myself. My agents told me that I'd just be throwing my money away, and my agents are reliable people, She was tense and grim. There's something funny about all this"
 Its peculiar said Sam with a frown. "I'll admit it's very pe- culiar."
 Eugenie paced the floor, her eyes flashing, and then, abruptly, there

One afternoon more than two weeks later Eugenie Frye called at the stable.
