A cold and exposure, the next mc ruing a A LUGKY NVENTOR | daybreak Ned was washed ashore. He i roused up to discern that he was on & wild-looking, desolate stretch of coast. He found a cooling spring of water, some edible shell fish and some fruit. Revived and encourages, he was about to line the coast, hoping to come upon some settlement, when with hideous lyoul there burst from a near thicket & score or more of dusky, half-naked savages. Ned was bound hand and foot, placed inquired Ned Darrow in a tone of the | UPOR 8 litter and carried through what deepest disappointment. “I won't say that,” responded the| patent attorney, striving to let down, easy the earnest manly young fellow “Your machine who was his client. is perfect.” “Yes, cheaply and easily in .eight minutes’ time it will make a one pound cake of ice.” “But the American idea is always a big one. They want a device that will make tons. Again, the popular idea has been refrigeration rather than ice making. Any family, simply wanting quick-to-order ice for a butter pat or the table pitcher would lke your little machine. Without a re frigerating system added, however, they would look at it as a sort of toy.” Young Darrow uttered a sigh of re gret. He proceeded to put back in its leather case a device about two feet square. It was made up of coils, a glass jar, wires and tubes, a recep tacle for sulphuric acid and a crank- ing attachment. This was his inven- tion—compact, of demonstrated util. ity and decidedly clever. By starting the sulphurio acid in motion by turn- ing the crank, within a few minutes’ time the quart of water in the com- denser became a solid cake of ioce. “I buflt so many hopes upon it!" murmured Darrow. “Everybody at home in the little country town where I ltve encouraged me,” and the honest blue eyes bore a trace of suspicious moisture. “There's a sweet little girl will be the worst disappointed. Poor Nellje!” P “I wouldn’t give up so easily it 1 were you,” sald the lawyer in a sym- pathetic tone. “Why don't you work something out of it in & small way,” “As how, now?” querfed Ned, with flickefing hope. “Well, try some remote country. It would be new there.” “Can't you suggest a place?” “Take Australia, for instance. Or Japan. South America, too, might prove a profitable field.” “I'll try it—I won't give up!” an- neunced Ned Darrow determinedly. Australia seemed to hold the strong: est lure the more he thought over the proposition. He very quickly S Began Fingering the Cogs and Wheels. made up his mind what he would do. Ned had a little capital. It was suffi- clent to take him abroad and “stake” him for a time. His device was simple and one that could be manufactured to order at any bardware speclalties plant, so Ned could rely on having his machines quickly made should there be any for- eign demand for them. There was a pathetic parting with = _— | suggested an interminable jungle. After twelve hours of steady travel- ing they reached a rude native village. | It was composed of a thousand or more | small mud huts and one large building { tormed of logs. This was the royal | palace, it seemed. At least Ned was i carrled within the structure, where upon a gaudy throne sat a thick-lipped, ' greased and painted savage. ¢ From the hungry way in which thie ' rublcund monarch viewed him, Ned ! decided that he would soon be roasted and eaten. The curiosity and interest ' of King Obi, however, were next fixed ‘upon the leather case that contained | the ice-freezing device and which the !nmves had brought along with their ' captive. He ordered it opened. Then he be- gan fingering the cogs and wheels of I the machine. The clicking as he turned ! the crank tickled his childish nature. ' He glanced at Ned, bobbed his head ' and grunted, as if to say: “What {8 this?” Ned bobbed vigorously, as it assent- I Ing to show the king what the machine could do. His bonds were cut. He set the device in position, filled the acld receptacle and taking out the glass | that held the water indicated by mo- tions that it be fllled with water. Then Ned turned the crank. All hands in the royal court watched him raptly. Their eyes bulged as at the end of eight minutes he drew out a pound cake of ice. “Hoo! hoo!” shouted the king, as the ice was handed to him, and he droppéd the unusual substance from his fingers as though it were a plece of red-hot fron. Such a thing as ice or snow had never even been heard of in that remote district. But once his royal highness cooled the drink at his side and enjoyed its rare rrelgnen, he virtually appointed Ned ice Burveyor to the crown as a desirable and cherished official ap- pendage. Ned knew that his life was now sure- ly safe. For a week he catered to the palate of King Obi. Then the sul- phuric acid supply ran out. Ned ex- plained to Obi that he would have to €0 to the nearest settiement to re- plenish it. By signs he made a bar galn with the king that he was to turnish him an escort, give him his liberty and he would secure the acid and give him the ice-maker. So it was arranged, and in payment for the same Obi handed Ned a little sack full of diamonds. One day two months later, well- dressed, almost a capitalist, with | bright face and a happy heart, Ned appeared at the office of the patent lawyer to pay him the fee for advice. The attorney had refused to accept | when Ned was poor. The latter related his strange story. “And now, I suppose,” smiled the lawyer, “you are going to expand your invention in a large way?" “Yes,” replied Ned, “after I have married Nellie."

To make these double bows, which sell in the shops from $1.60 up, re- quires two strings of small pearl beads, costing 15 cents a string; some fine wire, costing five cents a spool, and some maline, costing five or ten cents. String about one hundred beads on a plece of wire, leaving some free wire at each end. Divide the string into 50 | beads each and take the free ends to the middle and wind them around, thus forming two loops. This serves for the ' outside of the bow. The inside loops are made in the same way, with the | exception that it only takes 75 beads. The piece which goes over the center and holds the beads together is made of two or three strings of beads of about five each. These are sewed to Nellle Wyman, and sad but hopeful Ned found himself aboard an ocean steamer headed for the antipodes. It was smooth and pleasant sea progress until the Arcturus came within about five hundred miles of her destination, the city of Melbourne. A terrific storm arose. For a night and a day the stanch ocean grey- hound ran In the teeth of a flerce gale and sprung aleak, with the ma- chinery broken down and crew and passengers were hurried to the life- boats. “No baggage allowed!” announced the captain of the steamer sternly, as Ned started to enter one of the boats, his precious invention and its operat. ing accessories in the leather case in his grasp. He was bound to save his machine, whatever came. This declsion pre- vented his getting into the lifeboats. At last a lurch of the steamer sent him nearly overboard. He seized a safety plank and with it dropped into the water. “Surely, some of the boats will pick me up,” he reasoned, but in this he found himself disappointed. Amid the fog, the high waves and the blackness of the night he drifted alone across a I tathomless stretch of waters. ! a small piece of cloth to give it body, and also that you may sew it to your bow of maline.
