ing around in reception rooms
hadn't been entirely useless. The
head of a large manufacturing
firm had promised to see him
next week.
The unexpected happened. The
invention was sold. Henry's name
was signed at the bottom Of a
contract, and the president Of
the firm was making out a check.
He glanced up at the other
mans eager face.
IT suppose you'd like this in
cash." he smiled. IT know how
it is-you first bit of luck. Come,
well 60 down to the bank.
At the bank, they tried to pre-
vail on Henry to put his money
on deposit. But Henry would
have none Of that. He wanted it
where he could touch it and feel
it and show it to Josie. He was
going after her that night.
When Henry got home he
locked the money away carefully
in a strong box. With it was a
pattern of his invention. He was
eager to show that to Josie. Then
he rushed down to the station,
a full hour ahead Of train time.
Josie was very glad to come
home. She had missed him, she
said. And now she was happy
that their worries were over at
last and that the mortgage could
be paid. They rode back on the
tram, and to Henry, the trip
seemed endless.
Tomorrow, he told his wife,
they would buy a new car. Life
was going to be one sweet song
after this.
It was very late when they ar
rived home. At their front door
they stood frozen in their tracks
and stared at each other. The
door had been forced open. Some
one had broken in during their
absence.
Henry rushed to the bedroom
where he had hidden the strong
box. It was empty. The money
that he had received for his life
work was gone, and now there
was nothing left for him and
Josie.
She tried to comfort him. She
tried to take his mind off his
loss by asking about his inven-
ton.
what was it anyway, Henry?"
she inquired. Must have been
something pretty important if
they'd pay you so much for it."
Henry nodded wryly.

Definite Plans

GCIuHlS IdIIS
Henry did a little more than
dreaming on that score, however.
He had a definite plan as to how
he was going to become rich. And
that was by inventing something.
II the plan wasn't exactly original,
neither was the man himself.
He had q workshop fitted up
in the cellar. Every evening and
on Saturday afternoons, he fooled
around with tools and pieces Of
steel and wires. When 1t became
too late to work any longer, he
returned upstairs and talked about
his invention to his wife.
Look, JOSIE" he would point
out, "this is the time when men
are gettin' rich and famous with
inventions. Look at Edison. Look
at all them guys that invented
radio and telephones and stuff.
True, I amt hit on anything like
that yet. But will. Some day
we're gonna be rich. You wait
and see."
Josie waited. There wasn't
much else she could do. For
twenty years she listened patiently
and said little. If she had her
own doubts in the matter, Henry
never knew it.
Henry was fifty when he lost
his job in the machine shop. If
he had devoted more energy to
his work and less to his invention,
he mightn't have been laid off.
But at that moment he was en-
crossed in something big. He
wouldn't tell Josie what it was.
Not yet. He was going to wait,
he said, until the invention was
a big success.
1t was Josie who did most of
the worrying about finances. Or.
rather, the lack of them.
"You better be looking around
for something else," she told him.
The money goes fast when
you're not working.
II know you think you're
working. I know you got a lot Of
faith in what you're doing. But
faith doesn't pay the bills and
put eats in the ice box. We need
money and we need it badly.
"Why don't you run down to-
morrow and see Judd about get
ting your job back in the shop?
Even If YOU get less than VOL
did, it'll be something. In times
like these, every penny means a
lot. You will look around for a
paying job, won't you, Henry?"
Her husband nodded. But it
Is doubtful if he even heard her.
He spent more and more time
in the cellar. Day and night, he
was hunched over his work
bench. And then at last the in.
vention was finished. All. he had
to do now was to sell it. Josie
watched with a heavy heart as
Henry sent away big slice of
their precious hoard for the
patent.
"We'l lose our house and
everything" she protested tear
fully. They've been lenient So
far, but this time we won't even
be able to pay the interest on
the mortgage. You wouldn't want
for us to lose our home, would
you, Henry?"
