Not that conspicuousness that will
bring contempt, but the keeping of
yourself and your goods and wares
before the public. Advertise your
self and your business. Do things
that will make your neighbors talk
about you Meyer mind that their
talk is not all praise. AS a business
matter the pillory is preferable to OBJ

were ambushed long before we had made
any material progress. We were scout
ing along through the woods, making
more noise as we tried to make less.
Every individual twig seemed to take de-
light in breaking under our feet. Twice
we fell to the accompaniment of consid-
cradle racket. Then our awkwardncss
was compensated by our discovery.
Halt. Peace be with thee"
This was the salutation that met us.
We knew what was to happen, if our
presence of mind deserted ut this time.
"Peace to thee be multiplied" I Ie-
piled hastily.
Evidently my voice betrayed the ex-
element under which l was laboring or,
possibly, the guards. detected tone of
mischievousness. At any rate, they
rushed us and we took to our heels. It
was long run to safety, over the city
limits. But, it was the only alterna-
tive to an arrest. So we climbed over
the limbs of fallen trees, gullies and
brooklets, painting, falling and breath
less, with about six or seven of "Zion's
Finest" close behind.
Fortunately they carried no weapons,
save clubs. In the darkness and because
Of the shrubbery, they had no opportun-
ity to throw them. We soon gained the
wide, smooth thoroughfare, known as
Elijah boulevard and then it was easy
going. We soon outdistanced our pur-
suers and hurried to the rendezvous on
the Northwestern railway tracks, just
about ten feet beyond the city limits.
It had been three mile run and we
were both exhausted.
By this time the moon had come from
behind the clouds and we could lay there
on the railroad right of way and COM
mand view of the entire incline to the
edge of the woods, nearly two miles
away. Soon our gaze was rewarded.
Coming pell nell down the vacant lots,
we could see couple of horses, gallop-
ing at break neck speed. They appeared
to be chasing no one and their sudden
appearance caused us great surprise. In
close pursuit of the two horsemen, how
ever, there followed a troop of no less
than dozen mounted guards. They
seemed bent upon overtaking the two
horemen in the lead.
In few minutes the secret was out.
The two men in advance were our COM
patriots. They had been "caught in the
act" and were pursued by mounted
guards. Upon being discovered, they hid
in the brush to allow their pursuers to
pass. One of the boys reached up and
caught one of the riders by the boot leg,
pulling him from the horse. Then, grab
bling the horse by the rein, he mounted
and followed the other guard. The
scrimmage was short and decisive. The
guard was dismounted by the reporter
and then he went back to rescue his fell
low scribe. He was met on the run,
hastily assisted into the saddle and the
two men made their mounted dash for
liberty. The chagrined guards were not
long in mastering aid and were soon in
