"If you choose to spend your money in that fashion, you can do so," retorted the lady, smiling contemptuously. "You won't laugh at me this day month," thought Frank as he made his exit. Once alone again, he grew more determined than ever. His mind was completely dazzled with the bright future before him. Next morning, he posted a letter to an inventor's agency in London.
Probably, as I have said, the whole affair would not have turned the scale at a couple of ounces. But then its very lightness might have been part of the ingenious inventor's little game. There are explosives with which one can work a very satisfactory amount of damage with considerably less than a couple of ounces.
He darted in, in time to see a figure making through the dark for an open window. "Who's there Here! Stop!" thundered the inventor, rushing forward. But the intruder did not obey. Hidden behind a book in a bookcase was the inventor's revolver. Mr. Pollard hauled the book out, dropping it, and, in a trice, had the weapon in his hand, racing again toward the window.
"What's up?" inquired Tom, glancing up from his engines. "By the ghost of Guzzlewits!" gasped Dick. "Don't say it won't work, Jack!" The professor, ordinarily cool and very calculating, was strangely stirred. He watched the young inventor's face. Did it mean failure? "I don't know," said Jack at last with forced calmness. "I will try again."
And we're entitled to a good round inventor's profit, ain't we? You bet we are. You go ahead and get up that reorganization, and I'll put it through.

It was the actor's way to build slowly, and at the opening of the piece the poor inventor's blind ignorance of the calamity that is impending is chiefly trusted to create essential sympathy. Through those moments of approaching sorrow the sweet unconsciousness of the loving father was expressed by Willard with touching truth.
"What happened?" cried Jackson to Tom, as he leaned forward in his seat which was in the rear of the young inventor's. "Don't know, exactly," was the answer, as Tom quickly shifted the rudders to correct the slanting fall of his craft. "Sounded as though there was a tremendous back-fire, or else the muffler blew up. The engine is dead." "Can you take her down safely?" "Oh, yes, I guess so.
The machine works best when run under the inventor's immediate direction. Only as a man any man is swayed by the Holy Spirit, will his powers rise to their best. And a man is not doing his best, however hardworking and conscientious, and therefore not fair to his own powers, who lives otherwise.
This first rude instrument was carefully preserved by the inventor, and is now in the Morse case in the National Museum at Washington. A reproduction of it is here given. I shall omit certain technical details in the inventor's account of this first instrument, but I wish to call attention to his ingenuity in adapting the means at his disposal to the end desired.
The inventor's idea was to stand upright in the body of the contrivance, working the levers and cords with his hands, and with his feet on a pedal by means of which the steering tail was to be worked.
