Have You Had
This Letter?
It a business man wrote to you on a scrap of paper and
never used a letter head, you would conclude he wasn't
much of a success—wouldn't you? A man who does not
use modern business methods cannot possibly compete
with the man who does. A man who pays all his bills
by cash and never by check does not impress people with
being a successful man.
If you pay your bill* by checks on your Bank Ac
count here you are writing Upon the {Letter Mead of
Success.
Our books now show nearly 1500 accounts. Is your name there?

"See here, Jephson," foamed xnaciuu.
"What If this thing should get Into the
newspapers? We'd be the laughing
stock of the business workl."
"It Mustn't" said Jephson coolly.
"It might!" roared ThacUer.
Mr. Mtoot arrived with a blank pol
icy, and Mr. Jephson sat down at the
young man's desk.
For a time there was no sound In
the room save the scratching of tw«»
pens, while Mr. ThacUer gazed open
mouthed at Mr. Mlnot and Mr. Minot
light heartedly snti'etl back. Then Mr.
Jephson reached for a blotter.
"I shall attend to the l^oudon end of
this when I reach there Ave days
hence," he said. "I*erhaps I can find
another underwriter to share the risk
with me."
As the dcor closed upon the noble
man Mr. ThacUer turned explosively on
his friend from oversea.
"Jephson." he thundered, "you're an
Idiot! A rank unmitigated idiot!"
The Peter Pan light was bright In
Jephson's eyes.
"So new," he h.:lf whispered. "So
original! Bless the boy's heart I've
been waiting forty years for a proposi
tion liUe that." ,
"Do you realize," ThacUer cried,
"that £75,000 of your good money de- •
pends on the honor of Lord narrow
by?"
"I do," returned Jephson. "And I
would not be concerned if It were ten
times that sum. I know the breed.
Why, once—and you, Thacker, would
have called me an idiot on that oeca
I sion, too—I Insured his father against
the loss of a polo game by a team on
which the earl was playing. And he
played like the devil—the earl did—won
the game himself. Ah, 1 know the
breed "
"Oh, well," sighed Thacker, "1 won't
argue. But one thing is certain, Jeph
son. You can't go back to England
now. Your place is in Sun Marco with
one hand on the rope that rings the
wedding bells."
Jephson shook his great bald head.
"No," he said. "I must return today.
It is absolutely uecessary. My Inter
ests In San Marco nre in the hands of
Providence."
Mr. Thacker walked the floor wildly.
"Providence needs help in handling
a woman," he protested. "Miss Mey
rick must not change her mind. Some
one must see that she doesn't If you
can't go yourself"— He paused, reflect
ing. "Some young man, active, ca- I
pable"—
Mr. Richard Mlnot had risen from
his chair and was moving softly to
ward his overcoat. Looking over his
shoulder, he beheld Mr. Thaeker's keen
eyes upon him.
"Just going out to lunch," he said
guiltily.
"Sit down, Richard," remarked Mr.
Thacker, with decision.
Mr. Minot sat, the dread of some
thing impending in his heart.
Mr. Thacker wheeled dramatically
and faced his young assistant.
"Richard," he ordered, "go to San
Marco. Go to San Marco and see to it
that Miss Cynthia Meyrlck does not
change her mind."
A gone feeling shot through Mr. Ml
not in the vicinity of his stomach. It
was possible that he really needed that
lunch.
"Yes, sir." he said faintly. "Of
course it's up to me to do anything
you say. If you insist I'll go, but"—
"But what, Richard?"
"Isn't it a rather big order? Women
•-aren't they like an—er—April after
noon—or something of that sort? It
seems to me I've read they were—in
books."
"Humph," snorted Mr. Thacker. 'Is
your knowledge ef the ways of women
confined to books?"
A close observer might have noted
the ghost of a smile in Mr. Mlnot's
clear blue eyes.
"In part, it is." he admitted. "And
then again—in part, it isn't"
"Well, put away your books, my boy,"
said Mr. Thacker. "A nice, instructive
little vacation has fallen on you from
heaven. Mad old Jephson here must
be saved from himself. That wedding
must take place—positively, rain or
shine. I trust you to see that it does.
Richard."
Mr. Minot rose and stepped over to
his hat and coat
"I'm oft to San Marco," he announced
blithely. His lips were firm, but smil
ing. "The land of sunshine and flow
ers—and orange blossoms or I know the
reason why."
"I won't disappoint you," Dick Mlnot
promised. A look of seriousness flash
ed across. his face. "Miss Cynthia
Meyrick changes her mind only over
my dead body.''
He paused for a second at the door,
and his eyes grew suddenly thoughtful
"I wonder what she's like?" he mur
mured.
Then, with a smile toward the two
men left behind, he went out and down
that stenographer bordered lane to Spr.
Marco.
CHAPTER It.
An Evening In the River.
HOUGH San Marco Is a particu
larly gaudy tassel on the fringe
of the tourist's south, It was
to the north that Richard Ml
not first turned. One hour later he
made his appearance amid the gold
braid and dignity of n fashionable up
town hotel.
Lord Harrowby was at luncheon and
sent word for Mr. Minot to Join him
Entering the gay dining room, Minot
saw at the far end the blond aud noble
head he sought He threaded his way
between the tables.
"My dear fellow, I'm delighted, I as
sure you!" Really Lord Harrowby's
face should have paid closer attention
to his words. Just now it failed igno
mluiously in the matter of backing
them up.
"Thank you," Mr. Minot replied
"Your lordship is no doubt surprised at
seeing me so soon"—
"Well—er—not at all. Shall I order
luncheon?"
"No, thanks. I had a bite on the way
up.'* And Mr. Minot dropped into the
chair which an eager waiter held ready.
"Lord Harrowby, 1 trust you are not
going to be annoyed by what I have to
tell you."
His lordship's face clouded, and wor
ry entered the mild blue eyes.
"Mr. Thacker Is the head of our of
fice," smiled Mr. Minot "It has been
thought best that some one go with
you, Lord Harrowby. Some oue who
"I am to go—invited or uninvited."
will work night and day to see to It
that Miss Meyriek does not change her
mind. I—I am the some one. I hope
you are not annoyed."
"My dear chap! Not In the least
When I said this morning that I was
quite set on this marriage 1 was fright
fully sincere."
"You go south tonight?" ventured Mr.
Minot
"Yes. On the yacht LHeth, belonging
to my friend. Mr. Martin Wall. You
have heard of him?"
"No. I can't say that I have."
"Indeed! 1 understood he was very
well known here. A big, blufT, hearty
chap. We met on the steamer coming
over and became very good friends."
A pause
"You will enjoy meeting Mr. Wall,*'
said his lordship meaningly, "when I
Introduce you to him—in San Marco."
"Lord Harrowby," said Minot slowly,
"my instructions are to go south with
you—on the yacht"
For a moment the two men stared
into each other's eyes. Then Lord
Harrowby parsed his thin lips and
gazed out at Fifth avenue, gay and
colorful in the February sun.
"How extremely unfortunate," he
drawled. "It is not my boat, Mr. Mi
not If it were, nothing would give
me greater pleasure than to extend an
Invitation to you."
"I understand," said Minot "But 1
am to go—invited or uninvited."
"In my interests?" asked Harrowby
sarcastically.
"As the personal conductor of the
bridegroom."
"Mr. Minot—really"—
"I have no wish to be rude, Lord
Harrowby, but it is our turn to be a
little fantastic now. Could anything
be more fantastic than boarding a
yacht uninvited?"
"My dear chap"— began Harrowby
angrily.
"No matter." Mr. Minot stood up.
"I'll say au revolr. Lord Harrowby,
until tonight"
"Or until we meet In San Marco."
Lord Harrowby regained his good na
ture. "I'm extremely sorry to be so
impolite. But I believe we're going
to be very good friends, none the less."
"We're going to be very close to each
other, at any rate." Minot smiled.
"Once more au revoir, your lordship."
"Pardon me, goodby," answered Lord
Harrowby with decision.

Wolsey's Rise.
Now that fast going is common it
may be mentioned that the ability to
establish a speed record was responsi
ble for the first rise of Cardinal Wol
sey from a humble position. It was
when he was chaplain to Henry VIII.
that he was sent into the low coun
tries with a letter to the Emperor Max
imilian. Leaving London by boat at 4
one afternoon, Wolse.v took horse at
Gravesend, reached Dover next morn
ing, Calais three hours later and was
with the emperor that uiglit. An
equally rapid return brought him back
to the king in little more than two
days and won him his first taste of
royal favor.—London Spectator.

GOT HIS HAIR BACK.
Wns Perfectly Bald When He Starte*
to Use Xcvrbro's Herplcide .
Frederick Manuell, Maryland block,
Butte, Montana, bought a bottle of New
tro's Herplcide. April 6, '99. and began to
• se It for entire baldness. The hair fol
licles in Ms scalp were not dead and in
20 days he had hair all over his head.
On July 2 he writes, "and today my hair
Is as thick and luxuriant as any ono
could wish." Newbro's Herpicide works
on an old principle and with a new dis
covery—destroy the cause and you re
move the effect. Herplcide destroys the
germ that causes dandruff, falling hair,
/ird finally baldness, so that with the
cause gone the effect cannot remain.
Stops falling hair at once and a new
growth starts. Sold by leading
druggists. Send 10c. in stamps for sample
