Any mortal who wore it no matter how cowardly he might be, immediately became as brave as a lion. Mars frequently amused himself by locating cowards, and making them brave for a while by secretly loaning them his magic helmet. On one occasion this unexpected honor fell upon P. Henry Jenkins, a middle-aged clerk, who according to the attendant of Mars, was the most cowardly man in New York. When he got up his servant gave him an appetizing breakfast; his wife took the morning paper away from him and scolded him. All day long his employer reviled him and his fellow clerks jeered at him. In the evening after his work, his wife nagged him until bed time, and then when he fell asleep he had frightful dreams, so he never had any comfort at all. The Helmet of Mars came to him at a restaurant. The attendant of the God made the substitution, thoughtfully changing the appearance of the headgear so that it was a present-day hat, but unfortunately failing to secure the correct size of P. Henry Jenkins. The result was that his ears were very useful to him, acting as a support for the hat, but few people paid any attention to that, they were so busy marveling at the change in P. Henry Jenkins. In one short day he demanded and secured a raise in pay, forced his wife to let him smoke in the house, and compelled all his tormentors to treat him politely. Then all unknown to him, the helmet was wafted back to Olympus and his old hat restored to him, but one day's aggressiveness carried him through the rest of his life.
