salesman to sell the choke.
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1932-05-19

Lord, what an experience! Well, he
knew, now, how the thing was done.
He looked at his watch and found it
was six o'clock. He'd have to call it
day. He could face Edith, now, at all
events He telephoned the Office and
Mariner, who happened to be there,
tol5 him she had gone home.
Mariner seemed to want him to
come back that evening There was
quite bit Of mail, he said; and then
there was a matter he wanted to talk
about. But Edward told him it would
have to wait. He didn't want to talk
to Mariner tonight, He didn't want
to talk to anybody. He telephoned the
house. and told Julia he wouldn't be
home to dinner; perhaps not till late,
he didn't know. He didn't mean to
do anything but have quiet dinner
by himself somewhere-at the club,
perhaps-and think, get himself to-
gether, explore his discovery. He had
an idea that he might, perhaps, have
lifted the skyline Of new world.
Edward thought he knew what it
was that Mariner wanted to talk about.
The inventor was inventing something
else. He'd begun throwing off mystic
rious hints about it weeks ago. At
first it was something he wasn't yet
ready to divulge, even in the broadcast
way, the nature of, except that if it
turned out right it would be prodigi-
ous-the most revolutionary advance
in automobile engineering that had
come along as yet
Edwards emotional response to this
sort Of thing had been an almost I'M
comfortable Impotence with the man.
There had been time when Mariner
had talked that way about the auto
choke. He was, Edward reflected, ex-
actly like a cat with her kittens, turn
ing fercely on the last lot as soon as
the new litter made it's appearance.
SO, finding Mariner in the office
visibly waiting for him, when he ar
rived with Edith on the morning after
his selling adventure, he was prepared
to do battle against an open proposal
that they undertake the manufacture
of Mariners new device. He was 60
ing to smash it fiat. Yesterdays ex-
perence had made new man Of him.
"All right" Edward said, sitting
down and motioning Mariner to draw
up chair. Lets have it out What's
on your mind?"
Mariner surprised him. 1--WE been
thinking about this choke business"
he said. Il don't think we've got the
right policy. Whatever the thing
amounts to, it's question of selling
it, and that's what we aren't doing.
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1932-05-19

when he and Mariner had dined to-
gether for the first time at the club,
and he'd listened to those golden
prophecies and dreamed those roseate
dreams. Lord!
But the queer thing was that he was
glad he hadn't foreseen it; glad he
hadn't consulted Bert about it as he
had half meant to do that night. The
very blindness Of his infatuation
struck him as a piece of luck.
His daughters voice startled him.
"Gosh, hope he stays in California !"
she said. dad, what do you suppose
Baby's been up to out there, that he's
so excited about?" But she didn't
seem to expect him to answer that.
"What gets me-" she went on al
most at once, sis why he should care
what she does-as long as she doesn't
come back. She treats him like
worm when she's here. He can't pos
sibly like her. Nobody could like a
person like that. What does he want

she said Then she laughed. IT bet
you're glad mother isn't like that.
Come on, let's get to work"
"Were just at the beginning" he
told her. Making our real start to-
day. That's the way I feel about it.
It's long road, my dear, but it leads
somewhere"

CHAPTER vi
The Sacrifice

That one thing, the length Of the
road, was what Edith dared not let
herself think about. She didn't mind
any Of the incidents Of the job, taken
by themselves as they came along. 1t
wasn't hard, not so hard, after the
first week, as school.
The eighteen dollars her father
handed her in regular pay envelope
every Saturday afternoon infallibly
gave her thrill, though sometimes
twinge, too, when she happened to
know that the bank balance was espe-
cially low. There was a satisfactory
feeling about handing to her mother
every Saturday night seven dollars for
her board, and in having all through
the week, in the little black wrist-bag
she always carried with her, money
that was indisputably her own. If
ever she wanted to 60 on spree with
in it's modest limits she could.
The job didn't take on really night
mare aspect unless she looked ahead,
at a vanishing perspective Of weeks
and months and probably years made
up Of days so exactly alike; the same
train every morning, the same dirty
walk to the office, the same mail, the
same routine of telephone calls.
Conditions at the Office had never,
even at the worst, been as bad since
Mr.. Mariner left. Nova days, when
there was bad mail, or When some
body they owed money to called up
and acted disagreeable over the tele-
phone, dad would put a choke in his
pocket and go out and make sale.
cts funny" she told him once, ''the
way you used to say you never could
sell things You're perfect whiz at
it, dad"
'You know" he said ref1ectively, eff

trying to sell Oh Of course I know
our own immediate line Of patter. It's
when 1 stray away from it that I'm
lost-but if it were something l really
understand, I believe would be a
good salesman, for fact.
cts been q perfectly astonishing
discovery to me. I'm astounded every
time I do it. 1 suppose that's why I
enjoy 1t so much. It's making new
man of me. I'm getting INSCRIPTIONS.
A year ago I'd have been Mortified at
this new scheme Of mine, of paying
floormen in garages fifty-cent COM
mission on all the chokes their boss
sells. Now I'm proud Of it. 1t really
is good scheme 1t works! The re-
peat orders show it."
1t was almost the most thrilling
thing in the world when dad talked to
her like that, telling her things as If
he didn't know he was doing it, things
she couldn't imagine him telling any
body else-except mother of course.
In way, she was closer to him even
than mother closer to him than any
one else in the world. He didn't have
to explain things to her or lead up
to them, because she was there on the
spot when they began.
She was there when Mr. German
began.
Dad came in one afternoon, walked

Edward pricked up his ears. He
began to see what was coming. He

was saying and began to think. BY
the time the inventor wound up

'How long," Edward asked thought

him. "Six weeks, perhaps"

Word Of the theft became known yes
