Every advertiser ought to make a
point of saying something to inter
est somebody. The greater interest
for the general public that can be
injected into an advertisement, of
course, the greater advantage that
advertisement will be as a business
getter. After all, the real point an
advertiser aims for when he starts
the customer. There are two ways
to make this interest, one being to
get people interested in price and
the other to have them anxious for
quality. People who wan things be
cause they are good make the store
a lively place. If enough people can
be made to understand that the store
is doing all it can to make good
things possible to the economical
investor, then that store will have
some good friends who will go early
to be able to get a choice, or try
hard to show the appreciation they
have of the excellent things, and
count themselves fortunate in being
able to spend their money for these
goods. The desire is created by the
store keeper, the interest is main
tanned by the store keeper, the sale
is possible because the store keeper
has both created and maintained the
interest. If more store keepers
watched the reputation of the store
and kept the advertising going in a
way that would insure the stores
reputation constantly growing better
there would be an accumulation of
benefits which would develop and
from which the merchant would real

HOW PIERRE HELD THE CABLE
A True Story of the French Fishing Fleet.
BY @. B. MITCHELL.
Illustrated by the Author.

Pierre sat on the hatch of the little
French fishing smack. La Madonna
de les Duanes" was the name painted
in white letters on her stern.
Behind Pierre stood patron Bigelot
Captain Bigelot we would call him.
His powerful hands grasped the long
tiller as he tackled the vessel first in
toward the right bank of the river
and then. toward the left bank.
In the bow part of the crew We're
busy shifting the heavy cable from
the ships anchor to the great net.
There were ten men in all besides
Pierre and Jacques. who were the
petit mousches" or little flies"
On every fishing smack in the great
fleet of fishermen were two of these
little flies or fisher lads. They were
as esSnetial as the crew, for they had
their especial and important offices
to fill. No one else could crawl into
the tiny space between the decks and
the ships bow and coil up the great
dripping cable as it was hauled in
Pierre proudly surveyed the deck
of the little vessel. 1t was not the
spotless, shining deck of a man-of-
war, yet to him it was his beloved
abode, for every day in the year but
Sundays and the holidays Then he
could go ashore, put on his blue,
double-breasted coat and his cap with
the shining black visor and sit with
other men in the little church.
He did not care if Jacques did shirk
the errands of the men so that he had
to do much more than his share.
Hadn't Jacques been going to sea
much longer than he?

ON LOGGER NO. 4.
The Story of Mad Ride on a Steel
Horse.
By GRANVILLE OSBORNE.
Illustrated by r. H. Roth.

"Banty'' Burns was stubby, muscu-
lar Scotch Irish youth, who had
mounted through the grades of en-
gine-wiper and fireman to the position
of hostler at Raymer, a division sta
ton on the D. K. & S. Railroad, a
line on the south shore of Lake Su-
perior.
His striking traits were pluck and a
remarkable capacity for work His
good fame babe fair to bring him early
promotion, when grave mishap-the
collision of the engine he was bringing
from the house with a stock train
forced him from the company's serv-
ice.
He searched for work at once, for
he had an only sister at school in
Duluth, and she depended on him for
support.
Thus he happened to be the guest
OF the crew in the caboose of Logger
No. 4, coming down Tortoise Noun
tain on a brisk October morning.
There were frost whiskers' on the
rails of that branch track, and a fog
enveloped the low ground at Gooman
on the main line.
The position and condition of the
trains in the vicinity at o'clock that
morning were apparently normal; fif-
teen minutes later more than one train
was in peril.
Up on Tortoise Mountain, Logger
No. was OverpoWering it's big en-
CINE, as they went downward over the
| greasy rails at an alarming pace.
Long-bodied, squatty, with ten low
! drivers under her, presenting unusual
! breadth of tire surface to the rails. the
heavy engine was holding back with
all her power. But nineteen cars of

law under her that morning, could not
be held. Faster and faster the long
snake-like train pushed downwards.
whipping and rocking around the fall
! ing curves in a Kissing, drumming tur-
MOL of noise.
| Seth Johnson at the throttle grew
earnest, then pale. The train was fitted
with air brakes, which he set With a
clanking heave the train slackened
| speed; then valve-rod under the first
car snapped, and with a lurch the
whole clamorous fabric plunged on
ward.
Johnson had the air brakes set on
the engine. the sand pipes spouting
on the frost, and the drivers turning
backward, but the mighty machine
went downward over the crystal
smoothness like toboggan.
Back in the "dinky'' caboose there
was panic. Sid Turner, conductor.
and his two brakemen were shouting
half-heard things at one another.
Go out ahead and set the hand
brakes" commanded Turner.
| The brakemen looked down the line
of swaying, jostling, plunging loads,
and fatty refused to imperil their
| lives.
Banty Burns got up from a seat. He
was moved by two thoughts-first
and most powerful, the sentimental
thought that it was a shame to sit
still and let things go to destruction
without trying to prevent 1t; secondly,
Banty reflected that if he should sue
coed he would probably not have to
continue to look for work.
In his brown eyes burned a kind of
fire. I'm going over ahead to help
Johnson" he said. 'I'll twist up the
brakes as l go! If you fellows are

for the switch to be thrown; he would
meet the great ram, rushing from the
east, himself. His was only a single
life, there were many on the express.
Like a thundenbolt the logger went
down to strike the wild engine. All
the way Banty chung among the levers
like spider to a wind-tossed web,
sounding the whistle for the switch to
open.
The switchman could not see the run
away engine, owing to a curving cut,
and the express was still three-fourths
OF mile away. He hesitatingly obey
ed the whistled signal, and turned
the switch.
With her engine screaming and her
loads Keeling in a cloud Of dust, the
logger burst over the frogs upon the
main track. The wild engine was not
two hundred feet away, and Banty,
seeing the deed was done, jumped into
the gangway and leaped. feet foremost.
into the air.
Banty awoke IN the hospital at Ray
mer. When the officials heard his
story, several mysterious things were
made clear; one was. that he had risk
ca his own life IN order TO save the ex-
press and It's human freight.
Six months later Banty was running
an engine between Raymer and Du-
iuth.
