DANIELS SAILS FOR ENGLAND.
Leaves First Because a Swimmer Re-
Quires Most Practice.

New York, June .1S.-The first Of
the Olympic team to head for England
is Daniels, the swimmer, who sailed on
the Lusitania. It takes longer for an
aquatic man to get used to English
water than a track or field man to
English turf, so Daniels is going early
to have a bit of preparation before his
event comes off in the stadium tank.
Fearing that there might be a mis-
understanding why Daniels should go
on a better ship than the regular
team, Manager Halpin said that the
swimmer will foot the extra expense
himself. Hugh H. Baxter, the mil
lionaire athlete and ex-champion polo
vaulter, is going on the Lusitania. He
will stay outside London during the
games and will drive to Shepherd
Bush every day in an automobile.

Before the president had finished

and, grasping the bankers hand, said
! in husky voice:
"Mr. Richards, 1 am certainly
surprised and delighted, but l cannot
find words to thank"
"Never mind" said the banker,
ssWe know you are all right, or we
would not have elected you. But
have you the slightest idea what first
occasioned me to notice you and of
fer you a positionP"
"Indeed have not, sir, said the
young man.
"Do you remember" asked the
banker, s'the morning you came into
the bank, and l talked a moment
with you and told you to call the
next day, that you picked pin from
the floor and put it under your lapel'
That was what caused me to notice
you and offer you the position which
l did,"
Instead of being impressed, the
new cashier fell back into his chair

up before him, he found 1t hard to
brow off the weight which oppressed

When he had almost reached the

er good looking young man entered
and approached one of the windows.
He had proceeded but a few steps,
however, when he stopped and pick
ing up some small, bright object,
thrust it carefully under the lapel of
his coat.
President Richards had noticed
the action, and when the young man
approached, held out his hand with:

Besides, man who picks up pins

worse off for that"

the banker offered as soon as he had

Less than two years later, the
Bank called young Shields into his
private Office, and said:
''Mr. Shields, your services here
have been very satisfactory, as your
several promotions have doubtless
testified. We are in need of a man
to go TO the headquarters of the Su-
perior Copper Mining company and
Investigate the value of their stock.
We invested rather heavily in that
some time ago. and must get some
returns soon. You are as good a
man as | know of for the business,
and the success or failure of this
bank practically depends on you.
You must leave on the GAS train to-
morrow morning and will send me a
report of your progress daily"
After some minor instructions, the
young man left the Office and pre-
pared for the trip. Each day for
almost a week, the president received
report from the young man, but
there was not much hope in his
heart, 1t seemed that every day
! t...ere was less chance of escaping
the ruin which was waiting to engulf
the proud old institution that had
never known the faint of dishonor.
