of the Furnace, and All Is Well. A rag ! was Mrs ~ that ‘ um: How 1 for old shoes - “Helluva cent a 1 an e I t , v it t : I ) t "Ss Va y inv a cent a pount i , no more gif. I vant not dose shoes, | not for 1 cs. Nottings else?’’ Ss h indignantly closed the v v. When her husband came ho at 1 t, she said: \lgernon, I want you to take a lot | s I've done up ina packag row them away ‘t you give them to the wasberwoman?’’ asked M Smith. ‘She won't have them—says they're not her kind of shoes,’’ was the answe1 r too large or tco the heels are too high, and they be wrong number. I offered them to a tramp, and he said when he went into the shoe business he would let me know-—he wasn’t buying misfits yet.”’ ‘‘] like his impudence. Where are they? I'll make short work of them,”’ said Mr. Smith, and he took the big bandle his wife gave him and went out.

In 15 minutes he was back.

“So you got rid of them,”’ said his wife joyfully. “I think there was an accumulation of six years in that lot. Some of them I had given to people who were begging at the door, but i al- ways found them again mex< Coy in the

lot. Old shoes are like cats, 1f ron send them away they always come back.”’ ‘*The cat won't come back this t.me,”’ said her husband. ‘‘Idumpedthanina vacant lot and ran. After this waen you bay a pair of new slives leave your

old ones at the store.’’

Next morning as Mrs. Smith was éo- ing her housework the door bell rang.

‘I guess maybe you've had a bur- glary,’’ said the cheery vcice of a man who stood on the steps and seem: d ina hurry. ‘‘I found this bundle, with y ur name and acdress on it, When di Was lool:ing over my lot today.’’

Mrs. Smith took the bundle and fee- bly thanked him. When Algernon came home, she told him. He said there were more ways of killing a cat than of chok- ing ber with butter, and after supper he tock up the bundle and went out.

He knew of a nice dark place down near u church where he in and dnep that load of shoes without be- ing seen. He had taken the precaution to tear off the address and had changed the shape of the bundle. As he deposit- ed it in the archway of this dark corner a heavy-hand was laid on his shoulder.

‘*No, you don’t. No abandonment of the little innocent when you get tired of your own flesh and blood. Pick up the poor thing now or I'll club ye.”’

It was the new policeman on that beat, and he didn’t know Mr. Smith. He listened to his explanation with a most aggressive and unbelieving air.

**Lemme see the kid,’’ he demanded, and when the ‘‘kid’’ proved to be kid shoes he grew still angrier.

‘*I’'ve a mind to run ye in for disturb- ing the peace and resisting en oficrr,”’ he said, but finally permitted Smith to take his bundle and go home.

The next night a smudge came out of the Smiths’ chimney, and the neighbors held their noses. About midnight a loud rapping was heard at the front door, and a light in the basement was hastily extinguished. Mr. Smith an- swered the summons, while Mrs. Smith hid in the coal cellar. A patrol wagon full of policemen was at the door. One of them was on the steps.

‘*Are you running a glue factory here without a license?’’ he demanded of Smith.

‘Then what is that infernal odor? Your neighbors have telephoned that you were making yourself a nuisance and want you abated.’’

Smith took the crowd in and told his story~—how they had put those shoes in the garbage box and had them turned out again and how they had tried to sell them or give them away and finally to lose them. Then he showed the police to the basement and opened the door of the furnace, where the shoes were being a£remated. Then he produced some bot- tles with long necks that were sent for his birthday, and for half an hour he was busy pulling corks. After some time he released Mrs. Smith from the goal cellar. |:

**Are they gone?’’ she gasped.

**The police?’’

**No, no; the shoes,’’

‘*Every scrap reduced to ashes.’’

They embraced, and happiness reigned in the Smith household. — Chicago
