CHAPTER XIII.
"The Sweetest Girl | Know"


For almost ten days Larry Redmond
had lain, delirious. in little church
in France, not many miles from Paris.
Ii was only the wreck of a church now.
for the German shells had swept it,
leaving ruin in their wake. Even the
statue of Christ on the Cross which
surmounted the altar had not escaped
dissertation, for the upper part of the
crucidx had been snapped off like
matchwood and now rested against the
lower part of the figure of the Savior.
Re-enforcements had reached Trench
p in time-thanks TO Larry's heroiSm;
and though he knew nothing of what
had happened after he had fallen close
by the telephone, the British troops had
stemmed the gap in their defenses.
Along with others of the injured,
Captain Redmond had been hurried
away from the front as fast as was
possible. until at last he had been re-
ceived into the field station for the
English wounded for which purpose
the Red Cross had pressed that tiny
church into service. When Larry
reached that place it had been far to
the rear of the British frs. line. But
now, alas. those heroes in khaki had
been forced back until the boom of
their guns was plainly audible in the
violated sanctuary.
Captain Redmond lay upon a heap
of straw on the floor. About him were
many other men, swathed in banGages,
as he was. and among them there
moved soldier with the Red Cross
insignia upon his arm; and a French
priest kneeled beside the stricken and

are often misunderstood, it is important to make sure of a persons name before leaving him. People appreciate being re- menlbered, because they are often forgot ten: and it is certain that the capacity to do well that most people do badly will Sajn recognition. In these days of close competition, the institution that would se- cure foothold must be able to do some things, at least, little better than others are doing them.
 When the writer came to Birmingham, he was advised to try to remember peo- pie; and meeting several hundred persons month, he made it rule to ascertain their occupations. As nearly as possible. a memorandum was kept of the name and occupation of each man, and the cir cumstances under which his acquaintance was formed This data recorded in pencil after meeting the party, was at the close of the day entered on typewritten cards, which were dated and filed alphabetically. All cards were carefully canvassed from time to time, and the identity of the par ties was, by each canvass, more thor oughly impressed on the mind.
 To remember a persons occupation is almost equivalent to knowing his name; and it is more easily recalled, for while names are numbered by thousands, occu- pationS are limited to hundreds. In this connection, it is said that one who has 1500 acquaintances, knows a much larger number of people than the average man. If ones circle of acquaintances is limited to 1000 people. or even to twice that num- Der, it is evident that by the use of care, the majority of them can be remembered.
 It is valuable also to ascertain the names and occupations of persons one sees from time to time, but has not met Following this plan the writer, ,on several occasions saw two brothers who were rather substantial looking men, and as- certaired their names. On the day the bank opened for business, one of them came in and the writer said, Good morn ing, MT. Brown. This seemed to sur prise him, and he asked how we knew him; two days later, his brother called, and was addressed in the same way. He. too. expressed surprise that we had knowledge of them, and both men were evidently pleased by the fact that they were so well known.
 The plan outlined here was closely fol- lowed for some years, and enabled the writer to remember many persons, whom relying only on a normal aptitude for recalling names and faces, he would have forgotten. The method was discontinued, however, because changes in my line of work, made it more difficult and less necessary than formerly it had been. Such plan, it may be added. does not involve as much detail as it would seem tn require, and is entirely practicable, especially for those who do soliciting. establishment of this business, which, at the beginning, had neither large resources nor influential friends.
