3sure, go ahead, shoot Wilson replied readily
enough; but there was hesitancy in his eyes
well YOU killed your sale yourself. Old Man )aml
son stood you about fifteen minutes longer than Id
stood you. Do you think for minute that you go
into mans place and puff cigar IN his face and tell
him all about poker and JOY rides and put anything
overo Never, young man, not IN million years! But
that's just what you did, and now you put up kick
about Jamison being stiff old proposition You go
back there day and ask him what he thought
of you
The hooks were going SO deep into Wilson that he
could only sit and stare at Thorburn. He rolled an
unlghted cigar in his fingers until it cracked and broke
But Thorburn continued to "throw it into him.
"What you did was to 60 at old Jamson like drum
mer-and want to tell YOU young man, tina snat 1ne
stories and free and easy manner went with mer-
chants; but they don't go now. DO you suppose
Jason interested in your poker and motor trps9
Yet YOU pumped that cheap stuff into him for nearly
half an hour. And you expected 1t would sell MN
shoes"
"Yes-but just minute Mr.. Thorburn,' Wilson
broke in with impatient gesture. "Im taking all
you're handing out; but don't want you to get me
wrong. didn't come out on the road to be sport and
l made up lot of that stuff | told the old man. |
thought that was one of the ways to get next. I've
pulled it before and got away with it.
EYES, and you've pulled it three times this week and
fallen down-you said yourself. Now listen to me,
my boy" Thorburns suddenly changed as he laid
hand Wilson's knee. Forget all that bum stuff:
it's phony. What you want to talk IS shoes and that
ALL If you'd have told good story about your line
as you did about your poker you'd have come away
from amisons with order. It's all right to interest
customer; but do it with your goods and then after
you've sold him for four five years you can try him
with story. But don't make it about poker or women
Remember you're not drummer you re one OF the
half-mion travelling statesmen who are going up and
down this country making a clean, manly profession
out of the business of selling goods
Wilson, who had been sitting with his eyes fastened
the seat back before him, dropped the broken cigar
to the floor and looked up Il get you, Mr. Thorburn'
he said slowly. Il get you" Then he paused and a
real smile Il certainly must have seemed pretty
to you, eh?'
Thorburn's hand frightened on Wilson's knee. @You
reminded me of what when | started out thirty
years ago-only didn't have anyone to steer me. Now
skip up and get your things-heres Huntsville
Ever been here before?' Thorburn asked as they
clambered into the hotel bus. Then, Wilson replied
in the negative "Its not much of place to Sunday in
but it's all right for Friday nights-any place will do
Friday when you know you're going to get home

Star Hotel when Thorburn and Wilson arrived.
They assigned to adjoining rooms, and Ihorburn

quarters before he flung open the door

you and me. I've got to get up at five
tomorrow because | promised to get
home in time to take the Missus to the

here and chew the rag all night"
"All right. Jim," FELTON, answered,
busting the ashes off his waistcoat; "but
just a minute now We were talking
awhile ago about drinking. know lot
of fellows on the road who've got the
antidrinkers dashed to the mast. They
won't even smoke cigar if they've got
a customer to sell. They won't go into

smoke That's drawing it mighty fine,
| guess; but it's all of piece with the
rest of the changes. | don't know any
thing about the smell; but | do know
that cigar can queer sale"
For one instant Thorburn's eyes and
Wilson's met; but FELTON, did not see the
exchanged glances. He went on:
"Know Charlie Green, Jim? Travels
for the Lex Company. Well, he told me
this; said he got it from Chicago man
who says it's true There was fellow
named Gordon, or something like that,
who went in to sell paper and Irvine to
one of the big Western buyers. He
talked his line for time, and then pulled
out big cigar and lit it. He blew a lot
of smoke all over the place and had the
time of his life He was SO busy smoking
that he didn't pay much attention to a
couple OF questions the buyer asked him.
But he got hundred-dollar order, and
just as he was beating it out the buyer said
to him, Pretty expensive cigars you
smoke, young man. The salesman said
that they weren't, that they were just two
for quarter. But the buyer replied that
he knew they cost much more than that,
and said, That one you're smoking cost
you Just one hundred dollars Gordon

had not been five minutes IN his own
quarters before he flung open the door
and called:
4Hello, there, Wilson! Come in here
a minute. I've something to show you
When Wilson came in, drying his
hands on foot-square towel, 1horburn
beckoned him across to the washstand
and pointed to the wall above it.
1There!" he said. @Take good look at
that"
1t was large pictorial card used in
billing Huntsville the last time well
known comedy dealing with the adj
ventures of travelling statesmen played
there. In design and coloring it repre-
sented sample case, and bore photo
graphic reproduction of a scene from the
play. Five likely looking men were
shown playing poker round chip-strewn
table. Beside one of the men was a
saucerless and suggestive cup, and a
negro servant, with 4 sly, sidelong look,
was just bringing in another.
Beneath the picture someone had writ
ten in careful capital letters with pencil
these lines:
A ISLANDER
THIS is NOT A TRUE
PICTURE NOWADAYS
~Iet that, wilson. nOrDurn asked
after a moment.
The younger man regarded the picture
without replying.
"Well, those men are all dead now
or dying. In little while they'll all be
gone with the five-toed horse. And the
travelling statesmen of today aren't rails
ing any tombstones over them: they're
doing all they can to forget EN-. | don't
know who wrote those two lines up
there; but I'll bet he's a travelling man
and he's hung up mighty good text.
If it wasn't good one, the man who had
this room before me would have torn it
down. Now, come, lets go to supper"
