old and gray bearded man had just come
into sight.
The newcomer stopped before them, his
face belming with smiles and with an air
of conscious pride held out for their inspec-
ton what proved to be highly polished
stove lid
There she is!' he cried "The prettest
and cheapest stove polish ever invented.
knowcd the mnnit I'd put that taller and
vinegar in the last batch that I'd got it. "
1T does look NICE" said Isaac, blinking
| from one to the other.
Nov, Jet, " said Uriah, taking an ex-
ira chew Of fine cut and leaning back in
his chair, "as you're the one that has got
this thing up, what's your idea of getting
it OUT How has it got to be made and
sold?"
"Well, " said Jet, squaring himself back
"my idea is just to make some of the stuff
and 60 out and sell it. I've fggered the
whole thing out, and it just amounts to
this: II will cost cent q cake to make this
stove polish. We sell it for 10 cents. That
gives us a profit Of $l2 96 a gross. Now,
each one of us ought to sell u gross every
day, mebbe more, but We'll put it at one
gross, to be on the safe side. Now, say our
expenses are SO a day. That leaves us SO
a day profit, all but cents, and that beats
farming all hollow.'
"Jet, old boy we're with your' cried
Uriah, slapPing the other on the back. Il
tell you, gentlemen, we're bound to make
something out of this. Just to think, $40
"A day is nearly $500 "A month-more mon
ey than we take in now in a year.
'That's So" said Isaac, rising slowly to
his feet. well it's getting along I'll
have to get back and do chores. "

"Fino fellow, Ike, " said Uriah
Hardly the man for this kind of bust
ness.
"Well, don't know. Ikes good fell
low"
Good fellow? Why, of course, he il
Nobody thinks more of Ike than l do
Why, I'd be willing he should go along for
company if he didn't do a stroke But,
then, he is slow-don't catch on to people
quick enough"
"Now, tell you, Jet" continued Uriah,
hitching his chair up to the other, " be-
tween you and me and that lumber wagon,
Ike is the wrong man for this business.
You want a man that can git up and git
and amt afraid to hustle, and Ike will
never fill the bill You mark my words. -
We'll" said Jet slowly, 81 reckon
never give 1t thought whether he would or
not. So you think he won't doS''

out together and let Ike sell what he can
around here. That'll let him down kind
