an abundance of blue eyes, too, for a ey were
very large, and she bad a habit of opening
them like an astonishedchild. c' eubtless,
thought Rumen, this is what has giv n Brown
the impression that she doesn't kn e w much.
Then she has none of the modern iflces to
conceal a scant enlightenment. a well-
informed woman nowadays is she, who can
skillfully confine the conversatio to that
portion of the Subject which she un ers'tands
and avoid all the rest of it. When 'ss Ray
was intellectually lost she frankly ked the
way. Her fart lay in believing hat she
was told.
Russell had been the victim of a d uble era_
barrassment at first. In the seciusi n of his
apartments he had scanned that Tress suit
with microscopic minuteness, in a search
for any distinguishing mark. He' bad not
found one. The garments were of he most
conventional pattern. Nobody co 1d pre-
tend to recognize them, and yet the first in-
cident of his call had served to disq 'et hitt
in this matter. He had been usher into the
parlor while his card was being bo a aloft.
He stood a moment by the mantle -th his
back towards the door by which he had
entered.
"Why, Walter," said a voice be nd him
"I thought— Oh, it is Mr. Russell, ter all;
Indeed, I am glad to see you," and s e gave

Oa a shade more provocation Russell
would have fled up the chimney beh d him,
and though he managed to avoid ny de-
monstrations of uneasiness, his ton a re-
fused its office. The subject which a had
introduced was not one which he ed to
_ pursue., He took the seat which was avored
with the least illumination, and gath red his
wits as best he could. Then the the ght of
what Brown must have said of him me to
aid in his confusion. Doubtless he h been
described as a spring of wisdom and a
fountain of expression. Of course -he was'
sitting there, waiting for him to sa. some-
thing instructive. Nothing but he meter

being's conversation. Would she ant all

think of nothing but the weather.
"Brown, dear old fellow," he beg n,- but
he could thiiik of nothing to say about
Brown except that he wished he ha taken
bis dress suit with him to the head w: tern of
the Congo:
"Yes, indeed," said Miss Ray " e is a
very good fellow,. indeed, and ex • e e gly

say so, for the remark will be forgo 'ten be-

complimented at being mistaken f e r him.

- "To be sure," said Russell, hastily r ' Brown

"Is it possible?" and Miss Rap open 'her

"She's making fun of me," thoug e t Rus-
sel. "What in the name of annihilat) en can
Ido?"
"You saw him just before he sails
you not:" she said. "Was he in
spir.t,?".
"He seemed resigned," replied Rssell.
"As to the work. which takes him there he is
hopeful, but he is not the man to lease his
friends without regret."
"Has he many herein'
"Not many. but some whom he hold. very
dear. I am reminded that he gave me a
card for you. I believe it bears some •emo-
randa of treasure you will lay 1 p in
Heaven, where, Brown tells me, you have .
already much invested."
She glanced at the card.
"He is too kind," she -said'. `-Sly ch vales
are small, and yet within a mule bf my home
one may find evcs•v kind of distress vhieh
God's mercy permits."
This opened the way to a more gee era'
conversation, far from embarrassing pies.
Russell was soon at his ease, and taikii g, as
he thought, in a highly edifying manner. If
intellectual development was what Mis. Ray
needed. shewould not fail to get it.
"We shall be good friends," she said, as he
rose to go. "I must confess that Waite • had
prejudiced me against you. He was fo -ever

CHAPTER VI.
INTERESTING= A CAPITALIST.
The next time Russell called at the louse
of Gilbert Ray he had the pleasure of t cak-
ing that gentleman's acquaintance. He
found the millionaire a bluff, heart old
fellow, whose residence in the mete )polis
during the past thirty years had mink very
little change is him. As a boy bo hail trad-
ed horses, and had made some enemies rnd a
good. deal of money. His father had. aken
the money and left him the enemies. 'hese
facts in as early history he related tc. Rus-
sell with considerable apparent sat.i.•sfa tion.
He ,remembered the time -when they h ac-
cidentally leached together, and knew what
Russell had eatea arid how much it had cost.
colt was a
good deal more than you n ,tided
young mau, said he, "but perhaps you new
what you were about."
Russell ventured to hope that he diel.
"A reputation for wealth is a good tl) big,"
said Ray. "A young, man gets it by s• -)end-
ing much more than ho can afford a d an
ofd man ow dby uding less. Every timethose
n there see me eating ant) e pie
for lunch they add half a million to their
estimate of what I'nz worth, but it woiIidli't
have done thirty years ago when' I kits mak-
ing my !;tart. By the way, come do e and
lunch with me to -morrow. 111: agree a `feed
you on something better than pie and ,e k."
Russell accepted the invitation, and - e ter-
ed Rays office with an exact regard f e r the
specified hour worthy of Monte E
The lunched in a style of tdilded " •„ i-
ncence; and atterwaras returned to Itay'c
office together. Here Russell sat down by
request, and Ray drew a chair in front of
him. -
"Young man," said he with painful direct-
ness, "what's your business?"
To Russell this question was not wholly a
surprise, though he had not had time to fully
prepare for it. His reply, . iowever, was
founded upon certain information which be,
had obtained by judicious inquiry concern-
ing
oncerning the peculiarities of the man before him.,
"I am engaged in the development of an
invention," said he.
"Your own?"
"No, sir; by a careful study of 'history I
Inave discovered that there is a great deal
more money in not being the inventor.
Moreover a man`is always prejudiced in re-
gard to his own invention, and therefore
blinded to the necessities of its development.
Be cannot criticize calmly, nor can he des-
cribe the merits of the idea with convincing
coolness."
"You're dead right," said 'Ray, impres-
sively.
"I shall not, however, interest myself in
an invention of whose merits I was incom-
petent to judge," continued Russell: "In
this case the subject is familiar to mel I
made a special study of electricity in col-
lege, and have read every thing I could get
hold of since.. I therefore investigate as an
expert when that great and mysterious force
is involved."
"It is a great thing;" said Ray; "we're
only beginning to find out what it can do."
That this was a hobby of Ray's. was one
thing which Russell had learned. He also
knew that the millionaire's confidence in
electricity was of recent birth, and had not
yet been backed by any investment.
"Of course capital will lie necessary to put
the invention of which I speak upon the mar-
ket," Russell said.
There was a shrewd twinkle in Ray's eye.
So this young fellow was trying to "work"
him, was he?
"I suppose you're looking for a millionaire
to go into it with you?"
"No, sir, I am not," replied Russell, firmly.
"A millionaire, a man whose fortune is
made. is not the right sort of a person for
this affair. The money needed is not a great
sum, but I want with it a man of energy and
determination. I should prefer a young
man with the future all before him, who
would work side by side with me and share
all my hopes to the fall."
"So you think that nobody but a young
man can put a thing like that through, do
DEVELOPING AN INVENTION.
you! Well, you're mistaken. • Some of us
old fellolrs have more energy than you young.
ones."
"There are undoubtedly i noes of that
kind," said Russell, "and yet I ust adhere
to my original opinion. I am not in a hurry
to find the proper man to join with me in
this` undertaking. I have funds sufficient
for my support"—adding in the seclusion of
his own soul—"till day after to -morrow."
"You make a mistake in waiting." said
•
Ray. "Push her through; get 1 her on the
market."
Russell shook his head.
"There is a ye -Ling man who May soon be
able to join me," said he. "At present he
has not the funds, but he has, expectations
and a world of energy. Youug blood—"
"Bother young blood. Doyou think be-
cause a man is fifty or over that he isn't
good for any thing? Why, look here, I'm
fifty-eight, and,three inches shorter than
you are, but I'll bet I can splits a cord of
wood while you're splitting a foot."
Russell smiled increduousiy and, _squared
his broad shoulders. . Ray got red in the
face. He was a vigorous man, and he hated
to be called old. Russell knew and banked
on it.
"You don't ask rile to get into this scheme
of yours," said Ray, after walking up and
down the floor With the step of a pedestrian.
Russell pretended to be embarrassed.
"You would not feel like giving mach
time to it," said he, "and besides the young
man of whom I have spoken will soon—"
"I'm as young as he is, by jingo," cried
the man of dollars, .slapping his chest. "I
could outrun him, outjunlp him and throw
him three times out of live, breeches hold, or
you either."
Russell smiled again, and Ray- reached for
his cane. The situation was beginning to
look serious. It was not the .old man's in-
tention to use the cane as a weapon, how-
ever.
"See here, young Mr. William Russell,"
said he, "there was a game we used to play
where I was born that was called `pulling
sticks.' Two fellows sat downy on the floor,
brae -eel their feet together and -pulled on an
axe handle until somebody had to come up.
Now, I'll bet you I can pull you'up inside of
one minute."
"I dont think you can, sir," said Russell,
respectfully; "but, at any rate, I haven't the
fifty dollars to wager on it."
"I'll take your I. O. U.," cried Ray, drop-
ping on the floor with a thump that threaten-
ed the tenants below. "Sit down here, and
I'll give you a few lessons in the value of a
well spent youth."
Russell sat down and seized the cane,
and the strange tug-of-war began. It
was a painful thought to Russell that a
good mn.ny thousand dollars were lost by
holding these athletic sports in private.
Doubtless five - hundred men in the street
would have given fifty dollars for admission
to the performance. There was ?, big clock
with a second hand on the wall, and the con-
testants timed themselves. Neither gained a
hair's breadth in the first quarter, nor in the
second, nor the third, nor the fourth but ex-
actly sixty-five seconds after the tug began
Russell rose into the air, soared over his
opponent's head and struck the wall- behind
him.
"Great Scott!" exclaimed Ray, as soon as
he could get his breath, "I never did the
trick as well as that before. Old, am -I?
Are any of your bones broken?"
"I believe' not," said Rnssell, pretending
to examine his skull iu search of a fracture ;
"but it was the greatest surprise I ever had.
I have lost my bet."
"No, you haven't," replied the than who
had not grown old. "I'll be honest with you.
I was five seconds over time. The fifty dol-
lars are yours. You see I was a. little out of
practice, but I got thereafter awhile." •
"So I perceive; " and Russell rubbed his
head with one hand, and took a fifty dollar
bill with the other.
`'Now," said Ray, "if you think I'm
young enough to take a hand in your scheme,
let me know. I'm willing to put in one hun-
dred thousand dollars, or twicol that if
,necessary; and as for attention, young man,
just watch me. Bring down your papers and
your model to -morrow, and I'm .with you.'
This was a little sudden for Russell. It was
needless to say that he had no invention to
offer. It had been his intention to discover
what kind of an inventicin Ray would be
willing to back, and then find a longhaired
crank who thought he had it.
"I must have a little more time, sir;" he
said. "There are matters to be arranged.
Let us say next Friday."
"All right, and don't stop for a matter of
mone3-. I've always got enough to put into
a good thing."
•
THE
-,--... as, ae.aor oa. ,. - seeei £S.ueeessi, • •yots don't
know what this is, yet."
"I don't care a continental what it is," re-
plied the millionai-e promptly.
"If it's a good thing we'll get our money
out of the machine. If it isn't, we'll have
to get it oat of the stock. It 's immaterial to
-me which we do. Bring it along!"
CHAPTER VII.
THE LOAN OF AN INVENTION.
"This machine, if once set in motion,'will
never stop," said the inventor, as he poured
out a glass full of beer; "I regret to say that
I have not 'yet learned how to set it in
!notion, but that is a trifle; sir; a. trifle:, The
' solution of this little difilculty will come"—
and he tapped his forehead confidently.
He was a lean -bodied, thin -legged man,
clad in ill-fitting and soiled garments. His
face did not harm. nine with his gaunt figure.
It was of the Ger e : n type, round and full
my the the ks, wi high color, and sandy
beard and niustace. The contrast told his
story: his: inventio had fed upon him, while
he himself had ha only the poor nourish-
ment of hope. H. had been talking fully
two hours; and R 11 had begun to fear
that the poor fello 's vocal organs realized
the dream of en ss motion which his in-
vention would for ver disappoint.
"I have no use f e r this machine unless it
can go," said RI 1. "I read the story of
a reporter who sai that its movements were
such as he had nev r seen in anything inani-
mate before." -
The inventor fee ed as he filled his glass
with beer and p : rr.-e the empty bottle with
twenty others in a circle around the edge of
the table, in the n iddle of which stood the
wonderful machin
"I remember th young man well," said
he. "A pleasant f .How he was, too, but he
hadn't your head f r beer. We drank only
seventeen bottles t hat morning, and yet he
told me that this machine went whirling
round and round vith a motion which he
felt sure that no ng in Heaven or earth
could ever stop. 0 is description was not
-wholly accurate, ut it gave that idea of
endless rotary fort- which my machine will
realize some day. I think he must have
written the story immediately after leaving
me, though 1 wool not at the time have
thought it possible. It was not a deception
of the public; it w- s a 'view in advance of
the reality. We shill see it some day."
"I am afraid I ca not wait," said Russell;
"but let me give y u some advice. Don't
work too steadily t this thing. Get some-
thing else to do and let this be your relaxa-
tion. It will be be ter for you and it will
not hurt the mach' e."
He forced a paym nt for the twenty bottles
of beer, bade the in entor a cheerful good-
bye and escaped jus as another lecture on
occult mechanics w:. s about to begin.
It was the second -day of Russell's search
for an invention, 1 e had begun the work
as soon as he had 1 f Gilbert Ray's office
after the little game of "puffing sticks." An
• advertisement in a n ewspaper had brought
him a bushel of let rs from 'inventors, and
he had begun to sift , eir merits. The result
so far hadtot been encouraging. The first
load of rep 'es had consisted of ninety per
cent. lunacy and la per cent. fraud, but
amonz those which ere waiting for him at
the newspb,iier office : fter his adventure with
beer and perpetual .e`otion was one which
gave promise of real value. It was a rough,
straight forward lett r, signed John Deering.
The writer described himself as an assistant
foreman in a shop where electrical machi-
nery wasinade. He had long been fumiliar
with the.subject, pra ,tically and theoretical-
ly. He has inven :1 au electrical ,.ergine,
and he woiild like to have the advertiser see
it. 1
Russell called u n John Deering that
evening at his home in a suburban town:
The Deerings lived ii a house well kept and
full of comfort. There was nosig1 of debt,
dirt or other appur nance of genius. The
inventor's (.aughtcr, a neat. and .pretty girl
of fourteen; answer: d Russell's ring and
ushered him into tee presence of her fa-
ther, who sat iu a cheerful parlor read-
ing a book. Mrs. Deering and a little
boy were present. Et ld it was evident that
the mother Iliad been elping her son with his
lessons. ResselJwas macre welcome, a' few
words of ge`ieral con emotion followed and'
then the tw men wei e left together.
Russell lc oked at )eering and distrusted
him. That feeling w• s the first of which he
had been c nscious t sight of the man.
Though he had fol: id him sui'ro mcled by
every sign peace a rd good will and -moral
rectitude in the light of thatbestevidence of
a man's re ctabilit , a happy home, Rus-
sell could no repress e ncharitable suspicions.
It was Deei ng's fac which. bore fulse .vit-
ness against lira. It ad no unusual feature,
and its genei al effect • -as not uucolnely, but
it was a face that dist •usted itself. The eyes
were pale; they had o light in them; they
veiled the n an's tho ght, and there was a
deep line in he centre of the brow, giving
the effect of . ullen dig, •outent.
But Russe , though he his own con-
duct to be i of abov criticism, carried the
utmost candor in his !ounteneiice. He was
a man to inspire confdcnce—and make the
most of it..
`" You don t like t'ie looks of me," said
Deering, "Nobody d )es."
"On the 'contrary,' replied Russell, "I
think you are rather = handsome man."
"It isn't a question of beauty," said Deer-
ing; "it's`cocfidence o the lack of it. I shall

models; ther.looked at hie. Personally, I am
not a practicable• mac ine, and I never got
a dollar's worth of bacing." \ _
"You are Well -to do,'' said Russell. "Why
haven't you put the thing on the market your-
self ?"
"I have some money in the bank, and alit-
• tle property besides," replied Deering; "but
every invention involYes a risk, and I will
take no chanes where my wife and children
are involved I will snot reach out after
wealth even fjor them, I must hazard their
comfort and security. We :get along very
well as we are."
Russell cculd not help strongly ap-
proving this decision and he wondered
Why the wo ds did not give him a good
impression o the mbut they did not.
"There must be spinet ' etlhi.ng under all this,"
he thought. "I don't believe the invention

ination of the models convinced him -that the
invention wa. an electro motor destined to be

HISTOGENETIC
_ System of Medicine.
_Its Challenge is Investigation. Its
Passport is Truth.
This system is complete, having different medi-
cines (which are perfectly pure aed tasteless) for
all the different diseases. THE THEORY is to
rebuild the diseased cells and tissues of the body,
and by thus reaching the prima Cause of dieease
these nredicini s will save life here. the old systems
of giving poisonous drugs fail miserably. Books
explaining the syetem sent free to any address.

GENTLESIRX,—My daughter took a severe cold on
the 21st of last July, and it did not break, but set-
tled all through her systetn. She had a severe
headache, pain in the cords of her neck, ears, right
side and through htr body generally,followed soon by
chills,fever, poor and failing appetite and nausea. A
cough set in, the lips became very pale and Sys-
tem bloodless ; tongue thickly coated yellow; diz-
ziness. extreme prostration and rapid decline follow-
ed. I consulted Dr. Rear, who eeerned to be much
alarmed at my daughter's condition. Ile pre-
scribed the Histogenetic remedies for her, and she
gained rapidly, and Lady required three lots of medi-
cine and one visit. In one month she was eared
soundly. I consider her case was a very hopelees one,
and that 0 Bistogenctic Medicines and the doctor's
good advize saved ner life. I think it is the best
systtm of medicine.

err on June 15th and continued for eight
week& I began to iniprove at once. Pain left the
gradually. 1 do not feel it at all except a very lit-
tle at change of weather—notbing to speak of,
just a gentle. reminder. Constipation and headache
cured up and no return of either since. h is now
six weeks since I stopped taking the medicines. J
feel better now than I hare for years, and I
heartily recommend the people of London to try
Ilistogenetie Melieines, as they did more for me than
ail the doctors' prescription or other niedicines
