When the pursuer seems to overtake
the pursued and becomes |M?" the
race Is reversed, and away they go to
the back track with the same fleetness
of the hunter and the hunted until
things are reversed again. I have seen
them engaged In the same game In

The manager of one of Philadelphia's
largest department storm Is my au
thority for thin business maxim:
"You've cot to get the people's eyes
before you enn reach their money."
He Illustrated hU meaning by telling
me of a personal experience In Ills
own great establishment' A certain
commodity of standnrd make and fash
Ion had piled two counters for some
weeks without moving The owner of
the store himself was finally attracted
to this dead weight merchandise. At
once he diagnosed the trouble.
"Put those ordered he. "npon
n special counter four feet nenrer the
aisle than they are now." This was
done, and In less than n day the entire
lot of goods had been sold. "All that
was needed." said my informant, "was
to pet the eye of the women. They
didn't hesitate to give lis their money."

The story Is told of a certain multi
millionaire whose early education had
been somewhat neglected who. finding
himself rich, built a flue mansion and
askeil a friend to procure for him a
library of l>ooks. The frieud obeyed
and received a letter of thanks thus
worded: "I am much obliged to you
for selecting the books for me. I par
ticularly iiduilre a grand religious
poem alKMit Paradise by a Mr. Milton
and a set of plays (quite delightful) by

His Father's
Albert Tweed und Henry Aaburst,
two chums eighteen years old, made
?in agreement tbut whichever died first
would appear (o tbe other. Later tbey
separated.
Twenty years passed. Tweed, who
was a steady cbap, remained la tbe
place wbere he was bora. Asburst
went to Australia. From there be
wrote several letters to his friend, aft
er which the correspondence ceased.
From that time forward Tweed beard
nothing of his friend. Be did not be
lieve that Ah burnt was dead, for If 10
Dp would have appeared to blm, for
Tweed was full of tbe Idea that tbe
dead may come buck to lis. Thla be
lief wus owing to bis disposition,
which was easily Influenced by tales of
such wonders.
When Tweed was forty-three year*
old he bad a wife and three children,
the oldest a girl of nineteen. Qer fa
ther had told her of this agreement of
his youth, and she was at an age to be
interested In It Now and again *he
Would ask her father If he had seen
the ghost of Ills friend.
One spring he was called away from
home. When he returned, though It
was no later thau April, tbe weather
was very warm, ns sometimes bap
l?-iis in that month. He was fond of
sleeping out of doors and considered
it exceedingly healthy. Uls bouse
stood In the center of n large yard, and
his front porch made excellent sleep
ing quarters. Bringing some blankets,
he placed them on a banging bed and

Immediately? that the wiOk of tbls

ens This threw the light of the moon
full on his face, anil Tweed recognised
Ashurst just as he had seen his friend
last. a quarter of n century before. If
he had grown older there was not suf
ficient chance to be noticeable. The
only difference In his appearance from
that remembered bv Tweed was that
Ids face was livid.
Having gazed a few momenta at the
heaveus. the llgurc came up the steps
with the same silent tread and on
reaching the porch turned toward
Tweed nnd bad tnken oue step when
he seemed to the latter to be suddenly
enveloped In a glare of white light.
Tweed, who was sitting up watching
the apparition, gave a moan and fell
back unconscious
That moan made n sudden cbaogc

she cried. "It Isn't a ghost nt all! Do
speak to me!"
The ghost advanced to assist ber.
but she motioned him away, and he
went Into the house Tweed opened
Ills eyes and. seeing his daughter, gave
a shudder, closed his eyes, opened

"I did." said his daughter, and. sitting
beside him od the swinging bed. she
told him that while he was away hit
friend's son had appeared with a note
of Introduction. Young. Ashurst and
Ethel had talked of their fathers'
friendship and of the agreement that
had been made years before Being
young and thoughtless. Ethel proposed
that they should play a prank upon her
father. The young man. who was a
few years her senior, objected, but
Anally consented. Taking advantage of
Tweed's sleeping on the porch, ho" had
chalked Ills face, walked across the
lawn In the moonlight then up the
step* As soon us he stood od the
porch Ethel, from within, turned od the
electric light directly above him.
Tweed had by this time become so con
vinced that he saw his friend's ghost
that Ih; failed to notice that the flgure
was Illumined by tlie lamp.
The next day young Ashnrst called
upon his father's frlond. who, had not
his own daughter been Implicated In
the prank played, might not have re
ceived him as kindly as he did. The
young man presented a sealed letter
from his father. Tweed read It, but
made no comment. He Invited Asburnt
to make him a visit, which was pro
longed Indefinitely. Fie said that his
father had married In Australia, but
had gone from there to England and
after a short stay had taken his family
to South America, where he had be
come a coffee planter in the Interior of
Rra7.ll. When his son concluded to go
north to study a profession he bad
urged the boy to see his old friend.
Id time young Ashurst asked Tweed
for his daughter, saying that he hoped
for his own father's consent to the
match
"So fear of that." replied Tweed,
