a salesman of the National Biscuit
Company was lately talking to n grocer
in a Southern city who had laid in a
stock Of soda crackers put up in a scent
package and made by competitor of the
National Biscuit Company. The grocer
said that the reason he carried the COM
petitive article was because prices on the
imitation goods were so much lower that
1t afforded him an extra profit and that
he thought he could work them off on his
customers in place of Uneeda Biscuit
While they were talking a colored
woman came into the store and asked
for a package OF Uneeda Biscuit. To show
the National Biscuit Company's salesman
how easy II was to substitute the pro-
prietor himself waited on the woman.
showing her the imitation package and
advising her 20 take IL. saying that il
was Just as good as Uneeda Biscuit.
The colored woman hesitated, and then
said: No, sab. dey Is wanted for sick
ness, an my misSus SEN me for Unecda
Biscuit; she Is mighty partic'ler. an shs
know what she want, so Sib me Unceda
Biscuit, boss"
This is only one Of many similar in
stances that are constantly occurring
in the effort to substitute other goods
when Cneeda Biscuit are asked for.
After all. isn't the best cure for SUBJ
the making of first-class goods,
and then the advertising of them to con-
sumers so thoroughly and persistentIy
that like the colored woman. they are
afraid to take any risk in buying some
thing eise.-From Printers Ink.

the canon. Mebbe we can find some
thing up It,"
And what do you propose to take
with you?" asked Maitland.
What we can carry on The backs Of
men. We will make a camp some
where about where you did. We can get
enough husky men up at Morrison who
will pack In what we want, and with
that as a basis we will explore the up
per reaches of the range"
"And when do we start?"
There is a train for Morrison in
two hours" answered Armstrong. I'VE
can get what we want in the way of
sleeping bags and equipment between
now and then, If we hurry about It."
"Ef we are goin' to do 1t, we might
as well git a nov on us" assented
Kirkby, making ready to 60.
Right" answered Robert Maitland
grimly. When three men set out to
make fools Of themselves, the sooner
they get at 1t and get over with
1t the better. I've got some bust
ness matters to settle. You two
get what's needed, and I'll bear my
share"
A week later a little band Of men on
snow shoes, wrapped in furs to their
eyes, every one heavily burdened with
a pack, staggered into the clearing
where once had been pitched the Matt
land camp. The place was covered
with snow, Of course, but on a shelf Of
rock hair way up the hogback, they
found a comparatively level clearing,
and there, all working like beavers,
they built a rude hut which they Gov
cred with canvas and then with tight.
ly packed snow, and which would
keep the three who remained from
freezing to death. Fortunately they
were favored with a brief period Of
pleasant weather. and a few days
served to make a sufficiently habitabIe
camp. Maitland, Kirkby and Arm
strong worked with the rest There
was no thought Of search at first; their
lives depended upon the erection Of a
suitable shelter, and 1t was not until
the helpers, leaving their burdens be-
hind them. had departed. that the

until l have examined every square
rod within a radius of so miles from
your camp. I'll take the long chance
the longest, even"
well. that's all right" said Rob
ert Maitland. "Of course, l intend tc
do that as soon as the spring opens;
but what's the use Of trying to do II
now"
Its use to me. I'll either go mac
here in Denver, or / must go to seek
for her there"
But you will never come back II
you ono get in those mountains alone"
II don't care whether l do or not
It's no use, old man, l am going, and
that's all there is about it"
Robert Maitland knew men. He rec
ognized f1nality when he heard it, OF
when he saw it, and it was quite evil
dent that he was in the presence of II
then. 1t was no use to say more.
Very WE'LL" he said. 81 honor you
for your feeling, even If l don't think
much Of your common sense"
Damn common sense" cried Arm
strong, triumphantly. "It's love that
moves me now"
AT that moment there was a tap on
the door. A clerk from the outer Of
fee hidden to enter, announced that
old Kirkby was in the ante
Bring him in" directed Maitland,
eager to welcome him.
He fancied that the newcomer would
undoubtedly assist him In dissuading
Armstrong from his f~oolhardy, useless
enterprise.
"Mornin', old man." drawled Kirkby.
"Howdy, Armstrong, my respects to
you, sir" he said, sinking his voice a
little as he bowed respectfully toward
Mr.. Stephen Maitland, a very sympa-
thetic look in the old frontiersman's
eyes at the sight of the bereaved ia
Their.
"Kirkby, you've come in the very
nick of time" at once began Robert
Maitland.
"Allus glad to be Johnny-on-the-
SPOT smiled the older man.
Armstrong here" continued the
other, intent upon his purpose, says
he can't wait until the spring and the
snow melt, he is going into the noun
tains now to look for Enid"
Kirkby didn't love Armstrong. He
didn't care for him a little bit, but
