NERvY HoLDUP MEN ESCAPE

NERNH hOLDOf MEN EOCAI
Last Friday afternoon about half
past three a holdup was attempted near
the %Stambaugh depot OF tn e q. 81 N.
W. Co. which was one of the neryiest
we have heard OF in some time.
Shortly after the Green Bay train
had left for Iron River two men,
strangers to the men around the
depot, met a young Polish man just
back of the express Office and before
anyone at the de pot hardly realized
what was taking place they had hit
him a rap over the head, dazing him.
While in this condition they ranidly
removed his coat and then went
through his pockets, and giving him
another clip started up the track.
The young Polish man, whose name
was John Dodo, went into the express
office and through an interpreter Paul
Mestley ascertained what had taken
place. MIR. Mestley at once called up
Marshal Mcfarland and informed him
of what had taken place and that the
men had headed for Iron River. In
company with Oscar Hendrickson,
delivery nan for Quayle 81 Geodney,
he left the express Office In time TO see
the fellows go up the bank at the st.
Paul trestle. He and He~ndrickson
followed after them as rapidly as
possible. They alec climbed the bank
and discovered their men on First
street, just north Of the Electric Power
liant. When they arrived there they
lost track Of them, but continued OF
up town until they got to Barne,
Krom's corner, when they me

Lyon jumped into his subject without any
preliminary sparrlng. Its too bad, Mr.
Arrison, that you did not put door in your
hat department instead of having the front
all windows. 1t would have been worth
thousands of dollars in sales.
"Now look here, Lyon!" Arrison replieo
testify. @We don't need anybody to tell us
what to do aIaer the job is finished. At any
rate, my profits at the end of the year will
more or few less hats My other depart
ments are much more important, and | ar
ranged the entrance to the hat department
so that man in going there would see other
goods and be induced to buy. 1t would be
necessary to have man at the door if we
had special entrance, and the department
could not stand the expense"
II don't believe you will suffer financially
if you don't increase your hat sales, replied
Lyon. "But, Mr.. Arrison, your pride will
suffer, and your reputation as leading mer
second or third rater in any part of your
business. Lots of people will judge your
whole establishment by your hat depart
ment. Just as sure as shooting, if your
prestige is not to suffer, you must strengthen
your business at the weakest point, ano
that's hats. AS the leading merchant in
your line in the city, you have no right to be
satisfied so long as somebody is beating you
to it in any department. You must either
get into the hat business or get out of it, y he
concluded bluntly.
He saw that his appeal to Arrison's pride
Of leadership had struck the right string
@Inside of six months the door will be cut
through and the goods well advertised
Lyon told the hat man on his way out.
When Lyon came along on his next trip
he entered Arrison's crowded hat depart
ment through the new door, and watched
the customers stream in and ask for the new
hats advertised that morning
Lyon made big customer out of an indif
ferent one by the application of the Colder
Rule of salesmanship.

jaw was trihe more firmly set as he said to
Jimmy:
"Coe, we're going to put in hat depart
ment. 1t took reorganization of the oldest
house in the business to do it; but-when will
you be ready to show Hale your samples?"
JIMMY COE represents one type of West
ern salesman. Ralph Lyon is another.
Lyon was sent into new territory for firm
that advertised its product nationally. He
knew very little more about hats than that
they were worn on the head; but he had
studied publicity. He talked the advertising
more than he did the hats. He laid himself
out to show that factory which assumed
all of the responsibility by trademarking its
product and telling people how good it was
must make its stuff right. He made sales.
Lyon had good customer, John Arrison,
who was better satisfied with the progress
of his hat department than Lyon was. Hats
were a mere incident in the total business
of the establishment. As long as the incon-
spicuous department paid its way Arrison
was satisfied to look on it as feeder for his
other activities.
AS the poet sings
Mans love is of man S life thing apart;
IT'S womans whole exstence,-
so hats were of this mans S life thing apart.
They were Lyons whole existence, and it
was up to Lyon to make things move if this
particular hat department was to contribute
what it should to his existence. But Arri-
sons conservatism was stone wall.
Lyon had almost lost hope, when he
learned that Arrison had taken the small
store adjoining his establishment and placed
his hat department in this addition. The
front of the addition had been made over
to conform to the general architecture of the
main establishment, and what had formerly
been the entrance was transformed into
show windows Access was by an archway
cut through from the main store.
Arrison greeted Lyon rather gruff1y, and
grudgingly pointed to a chair. He looked
inquiringly at his visitor.

beams overhead seemed threatening to close
down upon him. And the great fat bed itself
gave under him like unsubstantial waves
Before jumping in for good Arthur gave one
last look out of the little loaded easement at
the cathedral facade, vivid in the moonlight.
King Grallon, astride his faithful charger,
stood out in bold relief. Zone hundred feet
up in the air.' mused Arthur, as he tumbled
into the yielding feathers. "He would be
safe from any flood up there, wouldn't he?"
And this last thought was in his mind when
shortly afterward he dropped off to sleep.
1t was considerably later when Ives, who
had been making a study of the cathedral
by moonlight, stole to the other little bed,
close by the window. His coming did not
waken Arthur: they were both sound Sleep
erS.
Toward morning it grew cold, as August
nights often do in Brittany. Arthur shiv-
cred in bed and pulled up the clothing about
his ears. He had no thoughtful mother to
prearrange a steamer rug for such contin-
gencies. Soon his bare feet were chilled to
the bone.
And then it proved that King Grallon's
steed was in truth no horse-but a night
mare Its spirit seized upon Arthur, and
there was no more peace for him that night.
Colder and colder grew his feet. The icy
waves were rising! The water was over his
ankles-it was creeping, creeping up to his
waist! He knew that he must hurry: the
city was being submerged! There was but
one coign of safety. Arthur rose, wide-eyed
but unseeing. He crossed the precarious
floor so softly that his father did not waken,
crept out at the door and down the crazy
staircase There was no one stirring in the
front part of the inn; though energetic
sounds arose from the courtyard behind.
The servants, who had never heard of an
eight-hour limit, were just beginning their
long day.
Arthur crept into the dark office of Felix
Cadic, to the cabinet where the landlord
kept the legendary chalice that he had shown
to Arthur but few hours earlier. Yes, the
door was unlocked. King Grallon's capital
had not yet acquired the habit of distrust-
fulness that proves metropolis. Dreamily
Arthur took out the old silver cup, chased
with some mysterious rune in the Breton
tongue, and with it in his left hand groped
his way down the passage to the front door.
His hand fumbled with nail in the wall.
The key was where he had seen it that after
noon. 1t was in his grasp now.
Armed as to each hand, but with the rest

of his person very informally clad, Arthur
now made his way out of the front door,
which swung easily, without noise. Hastily
he crossed the empty square, dim in the
halfight of early dawn and pushed open the
never-fastened door of the cathedral. The
interior was dim, save for the red light in
some perpetually honored shrine. Shade or
shine were the same to Arthur now. With
the certainty of recent knowledge he crossed
the nave to the tower door, turned the key
in the lock, and began painfully to climb the
dizzy stairs.
The waves were overtaking himI He must
hurry, hurry! Why did it take so long? His
feet seemed turned to stone. How should he
escape from the pursuing water? Mechan-
ically he counted "One hundred eighty-three
one hundred eighty-four!' His cold feet
touched the platform at last. Out of breath
and trembling, he crossed the platform to
the spot where the stone King still stood
gazing calmly toward the grave of his buried
hopes. The sculptured group was gray in
the gray dawn, looming ghostly. Far below
a few figures were beginning to creep like
ants about the marketplace as Arthur
climbed stiffly on the back of King Grallons
steed In his little pajamas he was shivering
from head to foot with cold and fear. He
felt the icy water about his shoulders. He
must be quick quick!
Arthur clutcned the silver gODleC con-
vulsively in his left hand. 1t handicapped
him in climbing, and he was very clumsy,
moving as if he were indeed turning to stone,
as his father had suggested. The waves
frothed at his heels, they leaped up to his
throat! Would they submerge him entirely?
Yes, if he did not hurry faster. But he could
not hurry. All! He was up at lastI He
was clinging about the waist of the stone
King! He was almost safe!
"Boom!" What was that giant voice?
3Boom! Boom!" Other voices were rising
in the marketplace; but they did not pene-
trate the ears of him riding the nightmare:
only the hoarse- throated call that he had
heard the night before. which nov bade him
hurl the chalice. @Boom! Boom!" He
must be quick
Arthur leaned forward with the goblet in
his hand. He tossed it out with all his force
into the sea of space. As he did so the night
mare threw him off. He woke-he reeled-
