afoot Some bold spirits were testing
a new sensation by venturing into the
corridor of the building. The police
were undecided as to what should be
done. One or two reporters were al
ready at hand, investigating. Me-
; Carthy, his assurance returned, was
conversing earnestly with a police

j Percy Darrow, closely followed by
Jack, managed to worm his way
through the crowd, and finally de

“Within the next twenty-four hours,

“Oughtn’t we to warn the people?”
“And let our hidden antagonist

inquired Darrow.

“Why are you sure of that?”
“Because by that hour McCarthy
will have disappeared,” said Percy
Darrow.
The man in the gray suit, having

To Be Continued Tomorrow
WHEN THE PEOPLE
REFUSE TO PAY
Ever since the signing of The Declaration of Independence people have
been discovering new rights and asserting them.
Engage the people learned how to get what they wanted-by the simple
expedient of “refusing to pay.”
In the days when kings played
“war” with oneanother the people
could always put a sudden end to
the fun by “refusing to pay.”
Today, when men play the great
game of business, they have to de
pend on the people, even as did
those kings of long ago. When the
people stop payment, the game
ends. 1
Soon the world discovered that it
had an appetite for facts. Arvt in
the readjustment of things for the
proper satisfaction of this appetite^
.we have developed a new science—
its name is “Advertising.”
Now that we have learned there la
a way of telling us, we demand . to
know. By the exercise of a power
that has never failed—the refusal
to pay unless satisfied—the people
have set up a new order of things.
The manufacturers and merchants
are telling us everything we want
to know—through advertising. lt
When we buy soap, we must know
“Whose soap?” “How is it made?”
“What are its properties?” “What
are its uses?” “Wherein does it
excell” Advertising toils us. * ,

commerce. The people have decid
ed they want a “reason .why” be
fore they buy.

while ago, when a few manufac
turers began to tell us some of the
things they thought we should know

pianos, automobiles. We will have the facts about these things—or we will
