But Peggy and Billy did not believe
the gold would harm them, and they
felt they ought to have it because they
ha6 found it.
The convict ran along beside the
hedges until he came to woods, and
there he stopped to gloat over the gold,
while the birds gathered around Peggy
and Billy to watch him.
"How can we get it away from him?''
whispered Billy.
"I'll go in there and fight him. You
grab the gold and rum" suggested Gen
eral Swallow. But then Peggy and
Billy remembered that they were only
bird size and coulG not carry the gold
away, even if General Swallow did
attack the convict.

total sales you expect the store to
be making.
Another good way in going about
getting store is to call on the larger
jobbing houses which sell the class Of
goods you PURPOSE selling. For in
stance, if you purpose going into the
dry goods business, call on the dry
goods jobbers. If you go into the
grocery business, call on the grocery
Jobbers, and so on.
Here is the reason. The big iobbers
do business with virtually everybody.
They are in close touch with the condi-,
tlons OF each customer and quite often
have a list of customers who for one
reason or another wish to sell.
If you are not experienced in retail
store management, I urge you not to
buy business of any kind until an ex
pert has examined it. If you hear Of
a good likely business, go to the jobbers
or some manufacturer in that line, and
ask them if they would send some one to
report the advisability of buying that
business.
Now, obviously, it is to the advantage
of the jobber to help you all he can,
for it he helps you to find good store
he is also helping himself to a good
customer.
You should have some knowledge of
retail store management, salesmanship,
bookkeeping and advertising. ! have
taken the liberty of sending you a list
OF good books on these subjects.
Good luck to you.

convict. "I'll stop the next auto that
comes along and take the drivers
clothes and his car as WE'LL"
Chug! Chug! Chugl The sound Of
an automobile came down the road.
Here's my chance" cried the con-
vict. Placing the pot of gold at the
side of the road, he leaped into the
center of the highway, just as an auto
rolled around nearby curve.
"Stop!" yelled the convict, holding
up stick that looked like a pistol.
''Honkv' went the auto horn, and
swish went the wheels, as the startled
driver turned the machine quickly to

vict fiat, and the auto crashed into the
bank at the side Of the road, knocking
over the pot of gold.
Hey, what are you trying to do?'s,
cried the driver, and at once Peggy and
Billy recognized him. He was Miser
Jenkins, who had tried to cheat Widow
Clancy out of her farm. The convict
was stunned and lay helpless. Miser
Jenkins backed the auto away from the
bank, and as he did so he saw the pot
of gold. His eyes nearly popped out
of his head. He took quick look at the
convict, saw that he was only half con
scious and, quick as a cat, he leaped
out of the car, gathered up the pot Of
gold, threw it into the car and drove
the machine; on past the fallen man.
Get out of here, you convict ~ hs
screamed back as the fellow struggled
to his feet. "You dare to follow me
and III put the prison keepers on your
track" And away he sped.
Rainbow gold, danger in rainbow
gold!' hooted Judge Owl in warning to
Peggy and Billy as they followed.
(Tomorroio toiH be told how Miser
Jenkins plunges into trouble.)
