"No  no!" said a voice; "I can't tell you  it is too big  greater than the induction motor  greater than the electric light  it is the greatest thing in the world. The taxi should be there now  you must come  " A knock at the office door where a voice said, "Car for Professor Eddinger," confirmed the excited words.

ral years ago, ancient history to those who came and went through Professor Eddinger's class room. And now Professor Eddinger was weary--weary and old, he told himself--as he closed his eyes to shut out the sight of the interminable papers and the stubby wrist that had ended forever his experiments and the delicate manipulations which only he could do. He reached slowly for a buzzing phone, but his eyes brightened at the voice that came to him. "I've got it--I've got it!" The words were almost incoherent. "This is Avery, Professor--Avery! You must come at once. You will share in it; I owe it all to you ... you will be the first to see ... I am sending a taxi for you--" Professor Eddinger's tired eyes crinkled to a smile. Enthusiasm like this was rare among his youngsters. But Avery--with the face of a poet, a dreamer's eyes and the mind of a scientist--good boy, Avery!--a long time since he had seen him--had him in his own laboratory for two years.... "What's this all about?" he asked.
