concern in London, organized large
corporation to operate the rich tin
deposits in that territory, where he
accumulated a fortune of over forty
five millions for his friends and him

a long period of years a large finan-

and favorable assays from the U. S.

use of the first event that gave him
opportunity. 1t came about in this
way;
After the holiday rush he had been
left enc evening to close the store. He
had put things to rights and closed the
safe upon the proceeds Of the days
business and was about to extinguish
the last light when he became con-
scicus that he was not alone in the
place. The next moment he felt the
pressure of a revolver barrel upon his
side and heard a firm, hard voice in
struct him to hold up his hands.
AS his next experience he was
marched into the little Office and
urged TO open the safe. AS he spun
the knob that controlled the com5ina-
ton he made a rapid survey of his
resources with his mind while he
still fumbled with the numbers of the
lock. He could think of nothing
worth trying until there flashed upon
him the memory of a certain trick by
which he had once oyerthrown his
adversary in a wrestling match. He
still had the muscle of an athlete and
the short stairway up to the desk
favored his plan. With lightning-like
movement he displaced the weapon
and sent his ceptor backwards down
the stairs. Whirlilg to defend himself
he was surprised to find no further
attack from the robber and upon
examination ne found that with a
broken neck the thief had lost all
power to 90 further mischief.
Sol thus became quite the neigh
borbood hero People began to put a
new estimation upon him. He was
promoted to position in the factory,
the output of which the store had
been handling. From that, sterling
business qualities carried him to a
partnership. Today his name is upon
the sign that advertises the business,
and there in full. Solomon Sample is
likely to become the whole piece. All
because he discovered himself and
was found In the emergency that
called for real man. So 1t proved
that Soils new leaf was a gold leaf.
