I wish the inspector from the patent office would come. I can’t try it until he has seen it. W hy, this machine must be one of the greatest inventions ever made! (Knock heard) Ah! here he is at last. E. HEAP: How do you do, Miss Jackson! I have come to inspect the machine you wrote about and see that it complies with patent regulations. E. JACKSON (Puzzled expression on face): Haven’t I seen you before? E. HEAP: Why, you look like someone I knew in Quincy High, way back in 1918. Esther A. Jackson! Is that right? E. JACKSON: Edwin Heap! Well well! How long have you been up here in Alaska? E. HEAP: Oh, I was sent up by the gov- ernment five years or so ago as an inspector for the patent office. What have you been doing these past twenty years? E. JACKSON: Why, 1 came up here as soon as I learned this was the land of “inven- tions, inspirations” and I have been working on this machine for ten years. Before I came I took Mary Waterman’s wonderful treatment for perpetual youth which she made by some complicated chemical process. I guess every- one has used it now. E. HEAP: Oh, yes, there are very few old people now. That is one of the finest inven- tions of the times. This is without doubt the age of marvelous inventions. Well, let’s look at your machine. I suppose this is it. (Point- ing to machine). E. JACKSON : Oh yes, indeed! (Both go over to machine). E. HEAP: What is it for? E. J ACKSON : (Thoughtfully) Wouldn’t it be fun to see some of our old classmates? E. HEAP: Why yes, it would be fine but 1 don’t see how you can manage it way up here. Anyway, what has that to do with the machine? E. JACKSON : Everything. This machine is an invention which will bring by wireless ■any person in the world.

The last time I was home he was one of Squan- tum’s most prominent business men. You know that Squantum is now a large manufac- turing city. E. JACKSON: No, I didn’t know it. I
