Facing Revolvers, , Drives Off Robbers in His Employer's Store j OWNER FIRST BEATEN Joseph Healy Then Batter One Irv ' truder and Forces Beth to Hurried , Flight Pursues Men Into Street, But They Escape. New Tork. After seeing hU exa- ' ployer, William Davis, a gTOcer at No. 134 East Fifty-third street, beaten un conscious the other night by two hold op men Intent upon robbery, Joseph Healy, 13 years old, battled with the Intruders, blackened the eyes of one of the men, and put them to flight with . an ax when they threatened him with revolvers.. The boy wa badly Injured, but was able to glvo chase through the streets, ' shouting an alarm, while the retreat- lng robbers brandished their weapons ; and cursed him as they fled. ; Davis had Just counted the cash be I took In during the day and put the currency in an Inside pocket. The two robbers evidently had watched him irom the street Tbey entered Just as he started to close tbe cash drawer and Inquired the price of a Jar of Jam. Davis turned toward a shelf, when one of the men struck him a heavy blow on the back of the bead with a club. Davis fell to the floor un conscious. One ot the men reached over tho counted and took between six anil seven dollars in small change from tho open drawer. To reach the fallen man the second Intruder ran to the rear of the store to get behind the coun ter. Back of a partition he encountered Healy, who with remarkable coolness decided upon a plan of action. Without a moment's hesitation the boy, who la strong and large for his 51; Armed With an Ax Lad Starts Toward the Men. age, set upon tho robber. Tbe man be ing -the stronger of the two, flung him aside. Tho boy then struck him a heavy blow In the face, which not only stag gered the man, but took him by sur prise. Blow after blow the boy de livered In rapid succession and the be wildered thief was soon defending himself Instead ot leading In the at tack. Wben the boy had him practically whipped, tbe second man, who bad bounded over the counter, rushed to his companion's aid. He sprang at Healy and tried to catch his arms, but the boy was too quick for htm. The robber then struck at tbo boy with bis club, but the blow was a glancing one, and failed to land. With stained face and blackened eye, the first man pulled his revolver and started for the boy. "Don't shoot yet," shouted bis com panion. "Let mo get him with this." Ho swung a vicious blow In the di rection of tbe lad's bead. The boy fell to bis hands and knees In avoiding the blow, but was up again In an Instant. In the corner, ho found an ax. Armed with this he started toward tbo two men. Both aimed their revolvers and held the boy at bay, but with careful aim ho let tbo ax fly nt tho bead of the rob ber nearest him. Ho missed tho man, but the ax crashed through the front window of the store, making a fearful racket. Evidently fearing they would bo trap ped In the store tbe robbers fled. Tho boy pursued tho fugitives Into Third avenue. They waved their re volvers at btm In a threatening man ner and shouted they would kill him If ho did not stop. Then they dashed up tho stairs of an elevated sUUon, boarded a train and escaped. HOLD-UP IN :r3r j -- $& ii lav i&- BACKACHE A SIGNAL OF DISTRESS .rataiatbebvkU tb kidofi' nigral ot dlitrem.

"I was scarcely able to go around at all Had no energy, and did not caro for anything. Was emaciated and bad a constant pain around my heart until I thought I could not endure it. I felt as though I was liable to die any time. "Frequently I had nervous chills and the least excitement would drive sleep away, and any little noise would up set me terribly. I was gradually get ting worse until finally one day, It came over me, and I asked myself what is the uso of being strk all the tlmo and buying medicine so that I can Indulge myself In coffeeT "So I thought I would see It I could quit drinking coffee, and got soma Postum to help me quit. I made It strictly according to directions, and I want to tell you that change was tho greatest step In my life. It was easy to quit coffee becauso I had tbo Postum which I like better than I liked tho old coffee.
