Why Two Halves
Equal Two Whole
in theCigaT Trade

In the January American Magazine
is an article called Making Money
Out of Footsteps, in which the writ
err mentions some curious facts in
regard to placing a store in the path
of the customer.
"The company has stores on botn
sides of Broadway at number of
important street intersections, for
example, at West Forty-second street
and at West Seventy-second street.
Why have two stores so close togeth-
err? Why not do all the business of
the two stores under one roof and
save the rent?
"The answer Is that man will
not, ordinarily, cross the street to
buy a cigar or any other article so
generally sold as cigars. The tenden-
cy of a pedestrian is to keep on the
side of the street where his business
or destination is. He lives on the
west side of Broadway, we will say
and unless he has some reason for
crossing over ne will walk along
Broadway-if he does walk along 1t
on the west side. Rather than to
cross the street to buy cigar he
will continue on his way a block or
two farther, until he finds a cigar
counter along his regular route. II
the cigar company were to smut
down its store on one side of Broad
way at Seventy-second street, the
store on the opposite corner would
not double its gross business in con-
sequence. To the contrary 1t would
show a very trifling increase. But
the closing down of a store next door
would make a big difference.
This company even knows the APP
proximate ratio between the mass of
passing pedestrians and those who
will wish to use a telephone. For
that reason all of the company s
stores have pay telephones on the
counter to attract men inside. A
certain ratio of all who come in TO
, telephone buy cigars before going
out"

BRITISH AViATORS
MUST GIVE BATTLE
ON ALL OCCASIONS

"The British army manual for air
men makes very interesting reading.
says Merle Crowell in the January
American Magazine. Perhaps in the
two selected paragraphs lies clue
to the cause of British aerial sue
cess:
1T must be borne in mind that
the side whose aircraft shows the
greater determination to fight on ev-
cry opportunity will rapidly gain a
moral ascendancy which. will largely
contribute to obtaining command of
the air.
Every effort will be made to at
tain superiority in the air as carly
as possible, and 1t should never be
forgotten that one aeroplane might
succeed In obtaining information OF
the utmost value. Hence after a
series of victories in the air, any Of
the opposing aircraft that leave the
ground must be relentlessly pursued
and destroyed, until complete com
mand Of the air is obtained, while af
ter defeat all aircraft capable of fly
ing should continue to reconnoitre al
all costs"

nor alone, for as his car sped swiftly
through Mayfair It struck taxlcab
with terrific force at a street intersec-
ton.
The heavy fender on De Vaux's big

lighter taxicab went over on its side
and the uniformed bobby and the
driver on the front seat were thrown
to the ground.

bered 1t was Blair. sometime earl of
Stanley!
In his hand he held a heavy walking
stick, and, acting with swift intuition.
he turned and thrust the stick through
the handle of the door and behind the
taxlmeter, fastening the door hard and
tight.
Within the mufiled cries of two men
could be heard. De VauX sprang from
his auto and faced Blair in surprise
for one brief moment And then the
fellowship of the desperate was swift
ly invoked.
"The traps have got me!' cried Blair.
And the two Adventures spraug into
the big, unchanged car, which, at n
sign from De Vaux, the chauffeur
backed from the wrecked, overturned
taxi, turned I'm the broad street and
darted away.
Ten minutes later, from the rooms of
De Vaux, Blair sent the latter, his
sworn ally now-such are the strange
DEGREES Of destiny-to Vivian with a
note. 1t read:
Our old friend De Vaux has saved me.
You hold tho fort as Countess of Stanley.

from the sky. We are not beaten yet!
Lovingly, BLAIR.
1t may be understood that, In all the
desperate intimacy that followed, De
Vaux never let Blair or Vivian know
that he was the mysterious mailed as
sailant who had struck down Blair In
his coronation robes and had borne
away the great jewel, only to drop 1t
in his fight.

AS the marquise looked at the girls
face and saw her trembling lips and
her wide eyes, she renowned her am
billions for Julia Redmond. She re-
nounced them with sigh, but she was
a woman of the world, and more than
that, true woman. She remained for a
moment in silence, holding Julia's
hands.
She had followed the campaign OF
her husbands cousin, a young man
with an Insignificant title whom she
had not married. In this moment she
relived again the arrival Of the eve
ming papers; the dispatches, her hus-
bands news of his cousin. AS she
kissed Julia's cheeks moisture
passed over her own eyes, which for
many years had shed no tears.
Courage, my dear" she implored,
I'VE will telegraph at once to the
minister of war for news"
The girl drew a convulsive breath
and turned, and leaning both elbows
on the piano keys-perhaps in the
very notes whose music in the little
song had charmed Sabron-she burst
into tears. The marquise rose and
passed out of the room to send a man
with a dispatch to Tarascon.
