A recent campaign of the Dayton Lighting Company of Dayton, Ohio, adds conclusive proo! at it does pay handsomely in most instances. For twenty years this company conducted its business on the old- fashioned plan, without paper advertising. At the end of that time they had 600 contracts, using 18,000 16-c. p. lamps. Under practically a new manage-| ment, this company in August began an intelligent, persistent and liberai advertising of the best any news- campaign—one ever used anywhere—using larger space each day in the news- papers. In a short month of 24 days they added 302 new contracts, using 9,975 16-c. p lamps. In other words, in 24 days (with a| new per advertising campaigi) | they added more than one-hali th volume of business that it had taken | | twenty years to build up without newspaper advert g, or. to bej exact, the increase was more than| 55 per cent. | In the lighting com-| pany at least newpaper advertising has decisively proven that it is the best sort of publicity. just the people who lights, and case of this 1t reaches the| when supplemented by | judicious circular advertising should | prove valuable in almost every case. turn on Wisdom, The Foolish Virgins regarded one another in blank dismay. “We are out of ofl!” they exclaimed.

Had it been a lotali stranger she would have been grate ful, but a man who only the night before had assured her that she could; not get along without him! She| would show him that she could, and she swept off the car with a majestic| dignity that caused Tennant to smile “Look here, Nell,” he protested as he followed her to the sidewalk, “you must not be here alone. It is one of | the toughest districts in town.” ! “So I judge from Its inhabitants,”: she said with a meaning glance at| him. “It seemrs that they take pleas ure in annoying unprotected women." | “That’s just the trouble,” he said placidly, though his face reddened “Don’t be foolish. Let me lend you a| nick You can send it back tonight, It is ‘only what I would do for any ,Voman in the same fix.” ! “I do not have to trespass upon} your chivalry,” she declared, with & scornful accent upon the last word “I am amply able to take care of my:| self.” . i “I believe we discussed that to nc| purpose last night,” he said coldly | “I adhere to my original opinion.” | “And I to mine,” she-sniffed, as she| began to walk on. Harvey dropped; back a few paces and followed her The dozen blocks bordering the freight yards bore a most unsavory reputation. No gently-bred woman was safe from insult. . And just because he had ventured to criticise her boldness in venturing out alone on her charity visits she had broken their engagement. the night before with the scornful state ment that she was amply able to take care of herself and would have naughi of a husband who already showed such a disposition to bully. He did not have lopg to wait for his revenge. On the next block g crowd of half-drunken loafers reele| from a saloon. Helen shrank to the edge of the sidewalk and by her vers! precaution attracted their attention. | “There’s me mussis,” shouted one as he lurched toward her. “Come here, me dear, and let hubby have s few coins for his beer.” As he staggered toward her Heler raised her hands to ward him off, and in doing so dropped her bundles. Witk a wild yell the rest of the crowd drove after the parcels just as Harvey dash ed up. A few well-directed kicks scattered the crowd, but the first speaker was less easily disposed of. The idea thai Helen was his wife had entered his drunken brain and refused to be dis lodged and he made an attempt tc clasp her in his arms while demanding of the new comer why he should seek to separate a loving pair. Harvey’s answer was a blow thal sent him sprawling, but he scrambled to his feet in an instant and staggered toward his assailant, waving a cotton hook that had dangled from his belt. With a scream Helen sought te throw herself between the two men,! but Harvey thrust her quickly aside. The man in his drunken insanity| ‘would make no distinction and it wae a fight man to man. | He had had some experience on the mat. Had been the wrestling cham- pion of his club for two seasons, and he maneuvered for an opening. It was no easy matter for he had seen fights among the longshoremen and know that a cotton hook was far more dangerous than a knife. Tt was some time before he could find his opening, but at last he closed in with a rush, pinioning his adversary’s arms close to his side.
