Come now, what you got to show me?"
The old man slipped hand inside his coat
and laid an old-fashioned large-calibre pistol
on the desk before him. Mike Telfant emitted
a snort of disdain and disappointment He
couldn't peddle that junk even in the present

passed his clenched teeth, the smoke was

disturb him.

Mike TeIfant owed his fortune to
a salesman - and his soul to the devil
by GUILES DAVENPORT

~LlNKY FOSTER, who was trying to live
up to his new dignity as Custodian of
the Reception Room knew what Mike
~ Telfant's answer would be before he
put the question. Never had Mike been
known to bar salesman from his office. The
very word itself meant something special
when applied to the usually furtive, always
hopeful procession which, for years, had been
calling at Mikes waterfront establishment.
Mike was superstitious about statesmen.
One of them was responsible for all his luck,
his bloated bank account and his undoubted
power in certain circles. Seventeen years be-
fore, a close -mouthed fellow, announcing him
self as salesman, had appeared at the little
shack in the corner of Mikes junk yard and
sold him bill of goods and an idea. The
goods had been three hundred machine
guns, surplus stock. The idea had been
that there was always market for illicit
weapons.
And today Mike Telfant was Big Business,
tough, assured and potent guy with but one
admitted weakness - he positively adored
statesmen"
Mike looked at Slinky with sardonic grin.
"Of course III see him, you ape" he said
Il always do, don't r."
YEAH replied Slinky with emphasis.
"Y'always do
Telfant toyed with miniature field gun,
become cigarette lighter.
What's he got, dya know" he asked. "A
crate of gas bombs or gun that1l kill by
electricity"
He wouldn't tell me, boss" Slinky's voice
was plaintive. "He S an old guy. He don't look
like well. he's got gats, he says. He don't
seem tub trust me-"
Telfant threw back his head and roared
"A smart guy, he is. He don't trust you,
eh? Well, if he's got guns to sell, he's come
to the right place. I'd like to get my hands on
plenty guns, brother. l need EN-
Slinky fdgeted inwardly He was scared
He wished Mike would get scared too, but
Mike didn't scare easy. He said everything
was fixed, no matter what those fellows in
Washington did. He'd been selling goods"
to everybody who wanted goods" and moth
ing had happened yet. For long time it had
been Cuba and Mexico and some of the
countries in South America, and now it was
Spain.
None O. them funny laws is goin' to stop
me, neither" Mike had said. Nor had they
stopped him, though thered been hell of
to-do about that last shipment. Sending guns
to Spain was different than anything before
One side didn't like it if you sent 'em to the
other side; and both sides had lot of hot
headed friends in this country Slinky knew
that both sides were watching Mike and that
Uncle Sam was watching, too. Not that Mike
cared. All that worried him these days was
how to get enough goods. Slinky was afraid
that fast market was making Mike careless;
that some day, one Of those statesmen" would
turn out to be a Government guy or some
'furriner" who d had his feelings hurt.
Getting that last boatload off had been
fast and hot work, all because one of those
ot-headed guys had butted in. This fellow,
who had said he was the father of the captain
OF the Mar Brio, had even gone to Washington

ROCKVILLE, Md, March 1.-THE
three cornered controversy which has
involved a nearby dairy, the Board of
County Commissioners and the indie
pendent Milk Producers Association
has been settled, the commissioners
hope. to everybody's satisfaction.
Step No. l was payment yesterday
by the dairy Of Sl,036 in back fees,
accumulated during the past nine
months, for inspection service fur
niShed by the county health office
Most of the concerns milk comes from
producers beyond the 40-mile limit
served by the office, and a fee was
charged by the office to permit it to
distribute milk in Montgomery County.
Step No. was announcement by
the board that an ST 800 contribution
from the State to pay part of the
inspectors salary would be accepted
in lieu of fees charged heretofore.
Step No. 3 was the further an
nounCement by the board that the
rules and regulations of the county
Health Board would remain I'M
changed and that the present ''rea-
sonable' limit of 40 miles, which the
office now serves, will obtain in the
future as it has in the past.
This was in accordance with the
demand of the independent producers,
Vehemently voiced at the board S
meeting last week. on the ground that
strict inspection beyond 40 miles was
impossible, and, Furthermore, would
place producers inside the 40-mile
limit, who must pass a strict inspec-
ton enforced at county expense, in
competition with producers outside
the 40-mile limit required to pass a
less strict inspection maintained at
State expense
With signs of relief, the commits
sioners accepted the dairy's check in
full settlement of back fees, and an
nounced that the States contribution
would relieve him of future expense
on that account. With a view to
satisfying the independent producers

For DR.. John Campbell Merriam
who is used to turning time backward
in its flight by million years or
more, 1865 A. D. is practically yes
terday.
But to the citizens of St. Angus
tine, Fla, it is a date so dim that
they are fearful all trace of what was
done in that year will soon be oblit-
Grated
1t was to prevent the loss Of an
Gent landmarks in that most ancient
of cities in the United States that
Dr. Merriam, B. S.. Phi. D., Sc. D.,
LID, president of the Carnegie In
stitution on Sixteenth street. agreed
to supervise study of how best to
restore the monuments OF the settle
ments past.
st. Augustine was founded on a
bright August % in 1865 by Pedro
Menendez de Aviles, who planted the
flag of Spain and built a fort to
brighten a band of French Huguenots
bit to the north, who were in effect
squatting on land claimed earlier for
Spain by Ponce de Leon, searcher for
the Fountain of Youth.
In subsequent years st. Augustine
became part of the empires of France
and Great Britain, and again of Spain,
before the whole territory of Florida
was added to the United States in
1919.
Florida for Early History.
DR.. Merriam, paleontologist, whose
researches in the fossil reptiles and
fossil mammals of North America
carry him countless cons into an
tiquity, long ago decided that Florida
offered the Psychologists an ideal spot
to study the early history of the
United States.

Various Periods in History.

So he quickly fell in with the idea
put forward by leading St. Angus
tinians that unless something were
done quickly there would soon be no
remnant Of narrow, picturesque streets
planned by Spaniards before the ar
mazda sailed against the navy of Queen
Elizabeth, that the old Spanish wall
built of Seashells would be crumbled.
that old houses with overhanging BAL
comics would soon survive only in pic
lures
Unlike most restored cities, St. Au-
gustine, when Dr. Merriam and his
committee complete their plans and
work, will demonstrate the historical
succession of all civilization and in
habitants.
Instead of being restored as a Span
ish city, it will present to the tourist

English and American architectures

Unlike Williamsburg Work.

tive work at Williamsburg, Va, where
Is was decided to concentrate on re-
making the city as it was at one

Again unlike Williamsburg, the
work at st. Augustine will be carried
on by the city government, the st.
Augustinians themselves, and during
the restoration and after the restora-
ton it will be a city in which people
live and carry on their business.
