"You want my opinion?" spoke the
father of Haytoii KudiF "I’ll give it
in a very few words, a trite but true
old saying: ‘A fool and his money
soon parted.’”
Dayton looked disappointed, bijt hot
disheartened. He bowed silently to
tin* mature judgment expressed, and
picking up a llat long object encased
in canvas left tlie house. It might
have been it picture for what it showed
iu outline, or a sign or a poster, but
it was none of these. It was In fact
a model of a new folding patent chair,
and it had cost Payton two thousand
do lint’s.
Certainly it was novel and unlqt
and it was no wonder that its varied
utility and novelty had caught the Im
pulsive fancy of the young Investor.
Dayton was twenty-two years of age
and just out of college. An uncle with
whom he was n favorite had died
leaving him the sum named. At once ’
his practical father had advised an
investment in seven per cent bonds,
but Payton had demurred.
"See here, father,” in* had said,
“with no predilection or preference for
any particular profession, I've got to
start at work and Hud my level, .liai
son Darrow, a fellow student, lias in

•Tm on t.Iu* safe side,” he decided,
"even if father won't see it that way.
It's experience, if nothing more. I
guess i’ll go and have a talk with
Celia,” and Payton found an inter
ested consoler iu his closest glH friend
whom he hoped some day to marry,
although ho had never told her so. lie
told the story of his investment (o
Celia Dayton from sturt to finish, In
cluding the drastic judgment of his
father.
‘‘Why. Dayton, I think you have just
clone splendid I” declared Celia en
thusiastically. "If you have taken all
those orders in three weeks, just think
what you may accomplish with some
one to help you, and the business fair
ly started. ’You promisee! to show me
this wonderful chair. Is that ft?”
"This Is it," asserted Dayton proud
ly, as he drew forth what the canvas
receptacle held. "First, it folds up
compactly and takes up no room.
Next, you attach these two semi-cir
cular pieces of board and you have a
rocker. Slide up this thin covering at
the buck, and you have a mirror. A
man can shave and arrange his neck
tie superbly. A woman cap powder
and dress her hair—not youi Celia,” a
glance of ardent admiration. “Nature
made you perfect from the start,” and
Celia blushed, but It was from delight
at the handsome compliment.
"Then, too,” went on Dayton, "I have
one or two jiew wrinkles. I ant going
to add to the chair a special adapta
tion for lawn use, and maybe an at
tachment that will transform it into a
convenient stepladder.”
"Oh, Dayton!’’ cried Celia, "I think
you are just a genius, and oh! so
wise, and sure to succeed."
"i hope it.” responded Dayton, "If
only to show that I am a wise fool,
after all.”
Dayton Rudd started forth upon his
first business venture with the ardor
of a knight errant intent on winning
his spurs for the delectation of his
loyal lady love, and demonstrating that
his Judgment was sqpcrior to the
biased prejudice of Ids father. lie
worked like a beaver.
Dayton wrote only once to Celia
during his absence. It was a brief
friendly note, embracing the Informa
tion that lie bad passed the four thou
sand mark, with a liberal royalty offer
on a large deal from an established
concern in the furniture trade.
"I would like to show you some
thing, father,” ho said, upon arriving
home. "There is little to say, and
this will indicate that I did not make
so foolish a guess as you thought In
buying my chum’s invention."
John Rudd was mute as Dayton ex
tended a sheet of paper detailing his
orders, t ho expense of manufacturing
and profits.
"I reckon I’m In a rut, Dayton,” he
conceded. "You’ve hit it, sure, with
your new-fangled notion.”
"I am going to show you the chair
with its very latest expanding device
attached," Dayton told Celia, as he ap
peared at her home the day following,
and he brought forth the device that
had seen suehi profitable service. Mov
