A FIRM DISSOLVED.
BY ROBERT HARK.
Even a stranger to the big town
walking for the first time through
London sees on the Bides of the houses
many names with which he has long
been familiar, llis precognition lias
cost the firms those names represent
much money in advertising. The
stranger has had the names before hiin
for years in newspapers and maga
zines, on the hoardings and on boards
by the railway side, paying little heed
to them at the time; yet they have
been indelibly impressed on his brain,
and when he wishes soap or pills his
lips almost automatically frame the
words most familiar to them. Thus
are the lavish sums spent in adver
tising justified, and thus are many ex
cellent publications made possible.
When you come to ponder over the
matter, it seems strange that there
should ever be any real man behind
the names so lavishly advertised; that
there should be a genuine Smith or
Jones whose justly celebrated medi
cines work such wonders, or whose
soap will clean even a guilty con
science. Granting the actual exist
ence of these persons and probing still
further into the mystery, can anyone
imagine that the excellent Smith to
whom thousands of former sufferers
send entirely unsolicited testimonials,
or the admirable Jones whom prima
donnas love because his soap pre
serves their dainty complexions—can
anyone credit the fact that Smith and
Jones have passions like other men,
have hatreds, likes and dislikes?
Such a condition of things incred
ible as it may appear, exists in Lon
don. There are men in the metropolis,
utterly unknown personally, whose
names are more widely spread over
the earth than the names of the great
est novelists, living or doad, and these
men have feeling and form like unto
ourselves.
There was the firm of Dauby &
Strong, for instance. Tho name may
mean nothing to any reader of theso
pages, but there was a timo when it
was well known and widely advertised,
not only in England, but over the
greater part of the world. They did a
great business, as every firm that
spends a fortune every year in adver
tising is bound to do. It was in the
old paper collar days. There actually
was a time when the majority of men
wore paper collars, and, when you
come to think of it, the wonder is that
the paper collar trade ever fell away
as it did, when you consider with what
vile laundries London is and always has
been cursed. Take the Danby <fc Strong
collars, for instance, advertised as being
so similar to linen that only an expert
could tell the difference. That was
Strong's invention. Before he invented
the Piccadilly collar, so-called, paper
collars had a brilliant glaze that would
not liuvo doccived the most recent ar
rival from the most remote shire in the
country. Strong devised some method
by which a slight linen film was put
on the paper, adding strength to the
collar and giving it the appearance of
the genuine article. You bought a
pasteboard box containing a dozen of
these dollars for something like the
price you paid for the washing of
half a dozen linen ones. The Danby &
Strong Piccadilly collar jumped at
once into great popularity, and the
wonder is that the linen collar ever re
covered from the blow dealt by this
ingenious invention.
Curiously enough, during- the time
the llrra was struggling to establish it- !
self, the two members were the best
of friends, but when prosperity camo
to them causes of differences arose,
and their relations, as the papers say
of warlike nations, bccamo strained.
Whether the fault lay with John
Danby or with William Strong, no one
has ever been able to And out. They
had mutual friends who claimed that
each of them was a good fellow, but
each of those friends always added
that Strong Si Danby did not "hit it
off."
Strong was a bitter man when
aroused, and could generally be
counted upon to use harsh language.
Danby was quieter, but there was a
sullen streak of stubbornness in him
that did not tend to the making up of
the quarrel. They had been past the
speaking point for more than a year
when there came a crisis in their re
lations with each other that ended in
disaster to the business carried on un
der the title of Danby & Strong.
Neither man would budge, and be
tween them the business sunk to ruin.
Where competition is fierce no firm
can stand against it if there i 6 internal
dissension. Danby held his ground
quietly but firmly, Strong raged and
cursed, but was equally steadfast in
not yielding a point. Each hated the
other so bitterly that each was willing
to lose his own share in a profitable
business, if by doing so he could bring
ruin on his partner.
We arc all rather prone to be misled
by appearances. As one walks down
Piccadilly, or the Strand, or Fleet
street and meets numerous irreproach
ably dressed men with glossy tall hats
and polished boots, with affable man
ners and xi courteous way of deporting
themselves towards their fellows, we
are apt to fall into the falacy of be
lieving that these gentlemen are civi
lized. We fail to realize that if you
probe in the right directiou you will
come upon possibilities of savagery
that would draw forth the warmest
commendation from a Pawnee Indian.
There arc reputable business men in
London who would, if they dared, tie
an enemy to a stake and roast him over
a slow fire, and these jnen have succeed
ed so well, not only in deceiving their
neighbors, but also themselves, that
they would actually be offended if you
told them so. If law were suspended
in London for a day, during which
time none of us would he held answer
able for any deed then done, how many
of us would lie alive next morning?
Most of us would go out to pot sotr.o
favorite enemy, and would doubtless
be potted ourselves before we got
safely home again.
The law, however, is a great re-
strainer, and helps to keep the death
rate from reaching excessive propor
tions. One department of the law
crushed out the remnant of the busi
ness of Messrs. tDanby & Strong,
leaving the firm bankrupt, while
another department of the law pre
vented either of the partners taking
the life of the other.
When Srong found himself penniless,
he cursed, as was his habit, and wrote
to a friend in Texas asking if he could
get anything to do over there. lie was
tired of a country of law and order, he
said, which was not as complimentary
to Texas as it might have been, llut
his remarks only go to show what ex
traordinary ideas Englishmen have of
foreign parts. The friend's answer
was not very encouraging, but, never
theless, Strong got himself out there
somenow, and in course of time be
came a cowboy. lie grew reasonably
expert with his revolver and rode a
mustang as well as could be expected,
considering that he had never seen
such an animal in London, even at the
Zoo. The life of a cowboy on a Texas
ranch leads to the forgetting of such
things as linen shirts and paper collars.
Strong's hatred of Danby never
ceased, but ho began to think of him
less often.
Ono day, when he least expected it,
the subject was brought to his mind in
a manner that startled him. lie was in
Galveston ordering supplies for the
ranch, when in passing a shop which
ho would have called a draper's, but
which was there designated as dealing
in dry goods, lie was amazed to set the
name "Danby & Strong" in big letters
at the bottom of a huge pile of small
card-board boxes that filled the whole
window. At first the name merely
struck him as familiar and he came
near asking himself: "Where have 1
seen that before?" It was some mo
ments before ho realized that the
Strong stood for the man gazing stu
pidly in at the plate glass window.
Then he noticed that the boxes all
were guaranteed to contain the famous
Piccadilly collar. He read in a dazed
manner a large printed bill which stood
beside the pile of boxes. These collars,
it seemed, were warranted to be the
genuine Danby & Strong collar and
the public was warned against imita
tions. They were asserted to be Lon
don made and linen faced, and the
gratifying information was added that
once a person wore the I). & S. collar
he never afterwards relapsed into
wearing any inferior brand. The price
of each box was fifteen cents, or two
boxes for a quarter. Strong found him
self making a mental calculation which
resulted in turning this notation into
English money.
As he stood there a new interest be
gan to fill his mind. Was the firm be
ing carried on under tho old name by
some one else, or did this lot of collars
represent part of tho old stock? He
had had no news from home since he
left, and the bitter thought occurred
to him that, perhaps, Danby had got
somebody with capital to aid him in
resuscitating tho business. Ho re
solved to go inside and get somo infor
mation.
"You seem to have a very large stock
of those collars on hand," he said to
the man who was evidently the pro
prietor.
"Yes," was tho answer. "You see
we are the state agents for this make.
Wo supply the country dealers."
"Oh, do you? Is the firm of Danby
& Strong still in existence? I under
stood it had suspended."
"I guess not," said the man. "They
supply us all right enough. Still, I
really know nothing about the firm,
except that they turn out a first-class
article. We're not in any way respon
sible for Danby & Strong; we're mere
ly agents for the state of Texas, you
know," tho man added, with sudden
caution.
"I have nothing against the firm,"
said Strong. "I asked because I once
knew some members of it and was won
dering how it was getting along."
"Well, in that ease you ought to sco
tho American representative. He was
here this week—that's why wo make
such a display in tho window, it always
pleases tho agent —he's now working
up the state and will bo back in Gal
veston before the month is out."
"What's his name? Do you remem
ber?"
"Danby. George Danby, I think.
Here's his card. No, John Danby is
the name. I thought it was George.
Most Englishmen are George, you
know."
Strong looked at tho card, but the
lettering seemed to waver before his
eyes. He made out, however, that Mr.
Jolin Danby had an address in New
York, and that he was tho American
representative of tho firm of Danby &
Strong, London. Strong placed tho
card on the counter before him.
"I used to know Mr. Danby, and I
would like to meet him. Where doyou
think I could find him?"
"Well, as I said before, you could seo
him right here in Galveston, but if
you are in a hurry you might catch
him at Broncho Junction on Thursday
night."
"He is traveling by rail then?"
"No, he is not. He went by rail as
far as Felixopolis. There he takes a
horse, and goes across the prairies to
Broncho Junction; a three days' jour
ney. I told him lie wouldn't do much bus
iness on that route, but he said he was
going partly for his health, and part
ly to seo fthe country. Ho expected to
reach Broncho Thursday night." The
dry-goods merchant laughed as one
who suddenly remembers a pleasant
circumstance. "You're an Englishman,
I take it."
Strong nodded.
"Weil, I must say you folks have
queer notions about this country. Dan
by, who was going for a three days'
lourney across tho plains bought him
self two Colts revolvers, and a Icnifo
half as long as my arm. Now I've trav
eled all over this state,and newer carried
a gun, but I couldn't get Danby to be
lieve his route was as safe as a church.
Of course, now and then in Texas a
cowboy shoots off his gun, but it's
more often his mouth, and I don't be
lieve there's more killing done in Tex
as than in any other bit of laud tho
some size. But you can't get an Eng
lishman to believe that. You folks are
an awful law-abiding crowd. For my
part 1 would sooner stand my chance
with a revolver than a lawsuit any
day." Then the good-natured Texan
told the story of the pistol in Texas;
of the general lack of demand for it,
\n\t the great necessity of having it
handy when it was called for.
A man with murder in his heart
should not hold a conversation lileo
this, but William Strong was too full
of one idea to think of prudence. Such
a talk sets the hounds of justice on tho
right trail, with unpleasant results for
the criminal.
On Thursday morning Strong set out
on horseback from Broncho Junction
with his face towards Felixopolis. By
noon he said to himself he ought to
meet his former partner with nothing
but the horizon around them. Besidvs
the revolvers in his belt, Strong had a
Winchester riflo in front of him. He
did not know but he might have to
shoot at long range, and it was always
well to prepare for eventualities.
Twelve o'clock camo, but lio inet no
one, and there was nothing In sight
around the empty circle of the horizon.
It was nearly two before he saw a
moving dot ahead of him. Danby was
evidently unused to riding and had
come leisurely. Some time before
they met, Strong recognized his former
partner anil ho got his rifle ready.
"Throw up your hands!" he shouted,
bringing the rifle butt to his shoulder.
Danby instantly raised his hands
above his head. "I have no money on
me," he cried, evidently not recogniz
ing his opponent. "You may search
me if you like."
"Get down off your horse; don't
lower your hands, or I fire."
Danby got down as well as ho could
with his hands above his head. Strong
lmd thrown his right leg over to tho
left side of the horse, and, as his
enemy got down, he also slid to tho
ground, keeping Danby covered with
the rifle.
"X assure you I have only a few dol
lars with me, which you are quite wel
come to," said Danby.
Strong did not answer. Seeing that
the shooting was to bo at short range,
he selected a six-shooter from his belt,
and, cocking it, covered his man,
throwing the rifle on tho grass. Ho
walked up to his enemy, placed the
muzzle of the revolver against his rap
idly beating heart, and leisurely dis
armed him, throwing Danby's weap
ons 011 the ground out of reach. Then
he stood back a few paces and looked
at the trembling man. Ills face seemed
to liavo already taken on tho hue of
death and his lips were bloodless.
"I see you rccognizo mo at last, Mr.
Danby. This is an unexpected meet
ing, is it not? You realize, I hope,
that there arc no judges, juries nor
lawyers, no mandamuses and 110 ap
peals. Nothing but a writ of eject
ment from the barrel of a pistol and no
legal way of staj-ing the proceedings.
In other words, no cursed quibbles and
no confounded law."
Danby, after several times moisten
ing his pallid lips, found his voice;
"Do you mean to give me a chance,
or nrc you going to murder me?"
"I am going to murder you."
Danby closed his eyes, let his hand?
drop to his sides, and swayed gently
from side to side as a man does on the
scaffold just before the bolt is drawn,
fcstnpng lowered his revolver and fired,
shattering one knee of tho doomed
man. Danby dropped with a cry that
was drowned by the second report.
The second bullet put out his left eye,
and the murdered man lay with lib
mutilated face turned up to the blue
sky.
A revolver report on the prairies is
short, sharp and echoless. The silence ;
that followed seemed intense and
boundless, as if nowhere on earth I
there was such a thing as sound. The '
man on his back gave an awesome
touch of tho eternal to tho stillness.
Strong, now that it was all over, be
gan to realize his position. Texas,
perhaps, paid too little heed to life
lost in fair fight, but she had an un
comfortable habit of putting a rope
round the neck of a cowardly mur
derer. Strong was an Inventor by na
ture. He proceeded to invent hi
justification. He took one of Danby's
revolvers and fired two shots out of it
into the empty air. This would show
that the deud man had defended him
self, at least, and it would be difficult
to prove that he had not been the first
to fire, ile placed the other pistol and
the knife In their places in
belt. He took Danby's right hand
while it was still warm and closed the
fingers around the butt of the revolver
from which he had fired, placing the
forefinger on the trigger of the
cocked six-shooter. To give effect
and naturuluess to the tableau he was
arranging for the benefit of the next
traveler by that trail, he drew up the
right knee and put i*cvolver and closed
hand on it as if Danby had been killed
while just about to flro his third shot.
Strong, with the pride of a true
artist in his work, stepped back a
pace or two for the purpose of seeing
the effect of his work as a whole. Ar?
Danbj' fell, tho back of liia head had
struck a lump of soil or a tuft of grass
which threw the chin forward on the
breast. As Strong looked nt his vic
tim his heart jumped, and a sort of
hypnotic fear took possession of him
and paralyzed action at its source.
Danby was not yet dead. His right eye
was open, and it glared at Strong with
a malice and hatred that mesmerized
the murderer and held him there, al
though he felt, rather than knew, that
he was covered by the cocked revolver
he had placed in what he thought was
a dead hand. Danby's lips moved, but
no sound came from them. Strong
cpuld not take his fascinated gaze from
the open eye. 110 knew ho was a dead
man if Danby had strength to crool*
his flngei*, yet he could not take the
leap that would bring him out ol
range. The fifth pistol shot i*ang out
and Strong pitched forward on his
face.
