CHAPTER V-Continued
IL


oh, he was making a mountain of
a molehill He'd been arguing with
himself about il until he was get
ting morbid. The thing to do would
be to put one of the chOkes into his
pocket some day. walk into the near
est garage he came to and sell them
a dozen.
That would settle the question
whether there was anything the
matter with him or not; take the
sting out of Edlth's II know that
anybody who was any good could
sell those things" OF course. she'd
been talking about the statesmen
when she said that, not about him.
Anyhow, he'd do 1t, when he had
time. and restore his sense of pro-
portion-leave his mind free for
dealing with matters that were
really important.
Naturally he'd find ii unpleasant,
n man of his years and position. to
start out peddling. to try to get the
attention of man who was busy
or pretending to be-about some
thing else and didn't want TO listen
to him; TO assume a manner of hOl
low goodfellowship Say,
friend. I've something here :"
Ii made him sick to think about
it. Call it fear. if you liked. He'd
do 1t though. some time. He was
going TO have to do it.
He did discharge the city sales
man and none of the applicants who
answered his want-ad in the paper
was conceivably satisfactory. The
Out-Of-town salesman, too, was tenn
pOrarily laid off. Mariner was more
nearly non-existent than ever. He
and Edith had the Office to them
selves.
There came a particularly bad
day; no orders at all in the first
mail; an obvious disingenuous let
ter from a customer who owed them
quite a lot of money. offering a per-
fectly unbankable ninety-day note
instead of the check Edward had
counted upon-another bad debt /;
dun that he simply hadn't the
heart TO answer; tax notice; and
a long chatty letter from bond
house announcing an attractive Of
fering of municipal tax-exempt Sc
curities; that was all Nothing to do.
Out-Of-doors, the day was irOni-
cally fine; the sky. a pitiless cold
blue; the winters sun. in great,
broad, golden splaShes, making a
mockery of his despair. He shut
his book and put down his pen.
Edith at that moment had gone into
the shop for a consultation with
Charlie Franklin. He got up and
put on his hat and overcoat. With
hands that trembled. he picked up
sample choke and slipped it. along
with pad of order blanks. into
his pocket.
1--we got to 60 out for a while"
he told Edith, when she came back
into the office. Il may not be back
before lunch"
Well, he'd got out, anyway, he
reflected. as he closed the door be-
hind him. He was safe So far.
Edith hadn't remarked anything
queer about his voice.
He walked away without direc-
tion. with no conscious objective.
His hands were in his overcoat
pockets and his fingers became con-
scious of the thing they were grip
ping-that id auto choke! He'd
left the office with the idea of max
ing a sale, and with some unre-
corded VOW that he wouldn't come
back until he had made a sale.

self-conscious and embarrassed over
his choice of words during the ear
lier encounters of the day. trying
for the vocabulary, the phrases
even the infections, of hard-boiled
salesmanship, and aware that he
wasn't doing ii successfully.
OF late he'd been forgetting about
this supposed necessity but Ii
wasn't until now that he realized
how far he had lapsed. Inde-
fatigable wasn't the only one,
either. How about inaccessible"
and potential" and plausible non
sense" Surprisingly, though. they
seemed not to have done his cause
any harm. Possibly this hail of
polysyllabes had dazed his victim.
The implacable hostility of his ex-
preston didn't change and he
spoke as gruffly as ever, but what
he said was. What you got?"
Edward took the choke out of
his pocket and handed it over to
him, but didn't at once launch out
on his explanation; gave him time
for a curious and rather mystified
examination first This wasn't con-
scious drama on his part. He was
still thinking about the effect of his
words.
Was it possible that an honestly
acquired command Of the English
! language was an asset and not a
liability? Certainly he'd got on
better since he'd quit pretending to
be less educated than he really was.
The man was asking questions,
he kept on asking them. He must
like the thing or he wouldn't hang
| on 10 ii like that. He sneered at
Edwards lighted match test, but he
repeated the thing two or three
times for himself Why?
Suddenly Edward got surmise
as to the answer to that question
and it excited him as the sight of the
fleeing cat excites the dog.
The man was afraid He was
afraid he'd buy. a stupid man, no
! doubt. not very quick witted. any
how, inclined to be credulous. If
he didn't look out people took him
in, persuaded him of things; espe-
cially people whose intelligence he
, recognized as superior to his own.
His defense was to frighten them,
with his sneers, his bullying voice.
When he succeeded in frightening
them he avenged on them his own
! fears.
This time, though, his defense
had failed. The shoe was on the
other foot. This customer, before
Edward got through with him, was
going to sign his name on the dot
ted line Of an order form. a dozen?
No. A full carton of two dozen was
the tune he was going to dance to.
All the same, when the order was
| finally filed in and the signature
written down, a feeling akin to
panic took possession of the sales
man. The man might snatch the

Chicago, Nov 4.-(UP)--Nrs Edith Rockefeller McCormick's dream of public museum to hold her imperial treasures was thwart- ed by death and the depression, it was revealed to-day after the filing of an inventory of her rich per- sonal estate.
 Her friends said she had planned to build museum on the site of her famed castle-like home at 1000 Lake Shore Drive. Here she planned to gather the rare and priceless treasures of her fortune, once estimated as the largest of any woman.
 The economic depression which seriously affected her finances forced her to postpone the plan which was finally dashed by her death. The inventory showed a shrtnkage in the value of jewels for which she was reputed to hayc paid $6,000,000. They were listed at $777,567.

T think justice will best be served by leaving the parties where the law finds them" Judge Ed ward J.
