Il see," the voice agreed with a sniff.
Then both the crack and the voice were gone
Jefferson Davis Pope stared desperately
at the bleak surface of the green door, then
turned and walked slowly back down the
walk As he reached the street he remembered
to shrug his shoulders. 1t was unfortunate
that the speed with which opportunity had
departed prevented putting into execution
MIR. Minchs little suggestion of asking the
name of the woman next door, so that the new
interview might be opened on more personal
and intimate note But there were more doors.
Hundreds of them. How many young sales
men made sale on their initial call or secured
a trial installation2 Not one in thousand!
Jefferson Davis Pope squared his young
shoulders and started to whistle.
As Mr.. Minch had pointed out in his ad-
dress to the graduating class of Whee! sales
men the day before, every man was off the
bench now. He was out on the varsity hitting
the line hard for old Whee! Let nine doors
close. The tenth would creep open, inch by
inch, until the goal was reached. The old
punch! The old fight! That was what put
names on the Wheel Roll of Honor Every
home was new game. A new opportunity!
And then there was JOSIE Josie with her
big blue eyes and little trick of smiling with
one corner of her small mouth. Josie who Just
knew, as she kissed him good night. that life
was really beginning for them.
Jefferson Davis Pope stepped forward
jauntily toward white house with green
blinds -.
Twelve o'clock. A woman dressed in a
startling wrapper of red and green stuck her
head out of an upper window.
What do you wantH she cried shrilly.
Then, before Jefferson Davis Pope could even
affix his tired magnetic smile she continued:
IF you have something to sell haven't got
time to talk. Well?"
1t is difficult to speak persuasively with
the head upthrust and box of faded ge-
raniums between the prospect and yourself
Jefferson Davis Pope did his best.
II haven't anything to SELL" he as
sured the lady loudly and tugged at his smile.
''If could speak to you for a moment am
sure you will agree that the time has been
well spent"
You're sure you're not selling somethngl"
the woman asked, and her blue eyes were
glacial with suspicion. II mean if it's sample
or trial offer, my children will be home from
school in minute. Well?"

of the points Mr.. Minch often made to his

EFFERsoN DAVIS POPE pressed the bell as
per instructions laid down in the Whee.

- insistently, because that might easily
annoy the approaching prospect and thus
create added sales resistance. Not too timidly,
lest the brief tinkle be lost to the lady of the
house as she went about her multfarious
duties.
In short. gently but firmly.
Presently the sound of footsteps sent the
waiting representative of the Whee! Washer
into dither of preparation for the forth
coming interview. His hands twitched at his

Jefferson Davis Pope took deep breath.
1t was the crucial moment, according to Mr..
Minch. From this point the interview went
smoothly and inevitably forward to the point

- forty-sixth renewal of the

from a horse Of that name who was
widely known in the early 70s.
Bred by r. A. Alexander at Wood

full brother to Bayf1ower, haywood
Beacon, Bayonet and Niagara. He was
purchased as yearling by M. H. San
ford for $4,000.
Started at ;.
PREAKNESS did not get to the
races until a 3-year-old and then
performed only once 1t was the
initial running of the Dinner Party
Stakes and Preakness won the $18,50O
purse. Since then his name has been
kept fresh and green by the Preakness
Stakes, second only to the $4,000
Kentucky Derby.
AS a 4-year-old Preakness won the
Pimlico Stakes here, the Maturity
Stakes at Jerome Park and the West
chester Cup. His 5-year-old season saw
him winning two races in nine starts
At 6 he won the Long Branch Stakes
Manhattan Jockey Club and Grand

-Four victories in seven tries was his
record as 7-year-old.
Won Baltimore Cup.
IN 1875, his last season of racing
