HEATHERLY. waiting for his car, stepped back near the window of a pawnbroker's establishment, and the glint of tlie precious stones displayed under the electric light attracted liis attention. A gold medal in a little black case was placed close to the glass, and Heatherly bent his head to read the words engraved upoa It The inscription ran: This medal was presented t© Poter Brown, who by his herolo conduct saved the lives of five persons in the East river, New York, on the night of November 16, 1889. "Poor devil," muttered Heatherly. "It must have Jerked his heartstrings to part with a token like that" He straightened himself up, but his i;aze was still upon the medal, so that lie didn't notice the bent old man who' Tiad stepped quietly to his side. As Heatherly stared at the window, the .withered hand of the old man moved forward and the fingers commenced to stroke the glass that separated them •from the piece of gold. . * Heatherly looked at the stranger In mild astonishment, and then edged slowly td the left so that he would not he In the way. "I beg your pardon, sir, if I annoy you," said the old man, "but I can't Lolp it." He wiped a tear away with mhe hack of his hand. Heatherly was interested. "What's the trouble?" tfc queried. The ancient looked at his questioner for a moment, ^hen nodding his head towards the pl^e of gold he said simply: "It's raln^, captain, that's all that's the matter. \My name is Peter Brown." \ "You dou't mean Ho say that you-- well, that's hard luck." Peter Brown's right hand continued to stroke the glass, and as Heatherly watched the pathetic action, he noticed that the medal, unlike the other articles, was untlcketed. "Is It for sale?" he asked. "No, no!" stammered the old man, igitated over the very mention of sale. "I only pawned It yesterday, but I asked tliid pawnbroker to put It where I could see It and--and stroke It." "And you saved five persons?" said Hentherly. The old man drew himself erect "Yes, sir," he answered proudly. "I was a bit younger then, sir, and It was a little easier to get a living in New York than It is today." Heatherly was silent. The car that he had been waiting for was clanging •by, hut he made no effort to hail It. "What dlfi you pawn it for?" he asked, after a long silence. "Bread," answered th* ancient promptly. "Yes, I know, but how much?" "Three dollars, sir," answered the veteran, and fumbling In his inner por-kot he produced the ticket. Iteatherly took It and read: "One irrtld medal, three dollars; Interest nine cents." "Well, that's hard," he muttered. "That's d--d hard!" He suddenly [tiiljed his wallet from his pocket and took out four single bills. "Here, Brown, old man," he cried excitedly, ' "we're going to pull that little badge of yours out of slavery. Go In and get It." With his face beaming with pleasure the old man took the money, and inside two minutes returned with the ' medal In one hand and the change In the other. Heatherly waved the money aside, hut he took the medal affectionately in his hand and reread the inscription It bore. "Old man," he said, placing his hand on the hero's shoulder, "I wish I owned that! Don't pawn It again. . Here's my card; come down there tomorrow and I'll find some light work for you." Heatherly was anxious next day. ,1'eter Brown did not come to the office. On his way home he wondered If the , pawnbroker knew the address of his customer, and he decided to call and ^sk. As he stepped toward the door - his eye glanced again along the rows i of rings, and he stopped suddenly. Peter Brown's medal occupied its old ' position in the window 1 "He address of de man who pawned de medal?" repeated the pawnbroker when Heatherly questioned him. "No, sir, I cannot tell you dat, hut he comes here efry day." , . "Every day!" cried Heatherly. "Yes, sir; he Is a funny fellow, an' he takes de medal out efry day an' den he pawns It again. He is very careful o? It, an' as he Is a wery goot customer I oblige him by putting It in tie vlndow so dat he can see It efry time he go by. I vos tink him crazy; be tiaf pawned It twenty times!" • Heatherly thanked the pawnbroker and stepped outside. "The old scoun- ' drel, I'd give a ten-dollar bill to get • my hands on him!" ' Tie stood staring at the medal for H few minutes, then he glanced down the street. Coming straight towards - ' him was the hero of the East river! ' But Peter Brown's memory w^s as 1 bright as his inventive faculties, i When he caught sight of Heatherly s face he turned and fled, dodging and ; ducking behind trucks and cars in a way that soon left his pursuer far bei hind. The "Peter Brown medal" was 1 never redeemed by its artful owner, j but every time Heatherly passes s ] pawnshop he wonders if the wrinkled | ancient Is still playing his game under another name In a different part of th* city. ./hen Illuminated at Night This Object Is Kiideous and Serves to Cause Some Speeder* to Slow Down. • The photograph herewith shows an automobile from -LOB..

But at any time they are apt to need first-aid badly. When you buy your radio, whether it is yonr first or your tenth, take this advice; Look at it carefully, inside and out. See whetherit looks to you like a clean, workmanlike job. Hear it in operation. Judge it for tone and volume and selectivity as well as for distance. Then ask your dealer about the manufacturer.
