ROWLAND ---- ; Copyighted Printed by special Rrrangement with Thos. Allen, 'Toronto. i (Continued) It had never occurred to him that there might be a double reason for this, one being the wholesomeness of his open, boyish face, and the other the fact that they regarded him and his shoehorn in precisely the same impersonal light No doubt they also felt instinctively that he would be every bit as nice if, after taking down a dozen boxes from the shelves and having ma several pi grimages to! the reserve stock in the cellar, they might come to decide that their needs cduld not be satisfactorily supplied. - So far as his immediate forbears were concerned, Ruggles had really no legitimate quarrel with his place in the world. His father had made | shoes, or parts of shoes, all his life, for many years as an operative in a manufacturing concern from which the Walkeasy had partially s sprung, It was there that he met Ruggles' s mo- ther, a pretty Irish girl and also one of the factory force. ~ Ruggles, senior, had been with the Walkeasy Company 'as foreman ever since its incorpora- tion, and being of an inventive mind, he had evolved some highly valuable machines for stretching and stitching calfskin, gles's inventions, if properly handled, might have brought him a small for- tune. « As it was, they had been ap- propriated by 'the 'company, which in compensation had slightly increased 'his salary, but had paid him no royal- ties. Unfortunately, Ruggles, while ® clever inventor, had been a poor business man, and when he had died uddenly of pneumonia, it had been ound that his savings 'were all invest- d in worthless paper. Ruggles, ju- ior's, mother had died when he was welve years old. : So Ruggles, enniless on finishing school, 'and, fol- ; lowing hereditary instinct, had gone first into the factory and afterwards to the detail service of the com- He liked the business and was "of a new retail shop hich there was some talk of Opeting Vienna. : Ruggles, it must be pletetond, was ally and sincerely proud of the eat industrial machine of which he fas so small a working part.

And he, Ruggles, might be commandant of one of these depots, jealously guard- ing the interests of the great organiz- lation jand defying the "attacks of for- eign: rade rivals. It was an tsriting thought, Of corse he was em young for [such a position, but he knew the bus- iness horoughly and stood well with t y, 'and he felt that he had claim to 'advancement, not. on account of his own faithful- ness and devotion, but because of his father's 'efforts in its behalf. As a matter of fact, Ruggles, senior's, in- ventions had been of far greater com- mercial profit to the company than : even. the inventor. had ever dreamed. "man of any. business sense would resigned his - salaried position nd found some means of producing his machines for the benefit of his! own interests, requiring either the Walkeasy or some other shoe manu- ; facturers to pay well for the products of _his brain. 'Had he done so he | might have got very rich and Rug- gles, junior, might have been touring Europe i ina high- powered car with no other aim or ambition than to have a | thoroughly good time, Which proves that his situation was better for his firs lack of initiative in a com- mercial sense. : Li ~The morning following Ruggles's adventure on the Marne passed in its| usual well-ordered manner, and, the {noon hour atriving, Monsieur Durand, |minally in charge of the Sin There Ithe manager, went jeuner. out for his de- "In the absence of Durand, Ruggles, as senior salesman, was no- were others who had been longer in the Paris store than he, but he ranked all but Durand in seniority of service with the company. In a a general way the organization of the Walkeasy Shoe Company was based on the principles of a military service, which, 'however, did not prevent a more effi- cient employee from being promoted over the heads of his less capable se- niors -- which same may be said to hold true of any service, whether it be military, commercial, or other sort, and nobody can deny the justice thereof. - : ; It was the slack hotr, and Ruggles was looking out upon the traffic flow- ing up and down the boulevard 'when a. big, heavy limousine of American make drew silently up to the curb, and from it there descended a hand- some young giant with a fresh skin and the hall- mark of his nationality stamped moét legibly upon him, Rug- gles had a good look at him as he stepped down from the car, and his vigorous young heart went off with a suddenly released with the gas turned on full. He recognized that strong, good-humored face with its heavy forehead, high-bridged nose, masterful jaw, and dark, deep-set eyes. At a man as Richard P. Downing, Jr., the illustrious son of an illustrious father, which latter was none other than the president and principal stockholder of the Walkeasy Shoe Company of America. : Ruggles had no need to look 'again at that strong, rugged young-old face. In his honest heart, Ruggles was a good deal of a hero-worshipper, and father and som, were his most favored idols. He had fol- lowed with the keenest interest the carcer of Dick Downing at Yale, re- joicing at his numerous successes -- which it must be admitted had been rather athletic and social than intel- lectual--and condoning his few fail- lures as due to a lack of proper support on the part of those whom he had striven so hard to lead "to victory. Dick had captained the fotball team, stroked the crew, and won other ath- letic victorics as opportunity offered, for his had been the good old days when trainers' jealousies had not been allowed to interfere with the athletic glory of Yale. ; "This brilliant epoch af an end, Dick d buckled down to work like a turdy colt which, after having kicked Pp its heels in the pasture the collar. He had started in to find out how shoes were made, and had helped to make them, working shoul-| with the overflow of his big,. kindly nature until he had undergone a sort of apotheosis and become the factory | .

Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills will give prompt and permanent relief to all sufferers from any heart weak- ness or nerve derangements. Mrs. Walter Greives, Apsley, Ont., writes: "I had been run down, and doctors told me I was anaemic, but 1did not help me with their medicines. I could not sleep nights, my heart oalpiinsed so, and I could count every eat. I used to have such Lois spells i would have to go to bed. I was not able to do any work for eight months.

'But Ruggles's adoration of this demigod was not based solely on such impersonal tenets as these: While em- ployed i in one of the New York retail stotes, he had one day come into per- sonal relations with Dick Downing, who had dropped in to buy a pair of shoes. Ruggles, who had waited on him, had been shocked to observe that he was shod in footwear of an _alien brand. Worse than that, they were the shoes of a sharp business rival. He alone of all the people in the shop had penetrated Dick Downing's incog- nito. Discovered thus in sin by the ingenuous Ruggles, Dick had laugh- ed. : : "The proof of the pudding's in the eating, old chap," he had said to Rug- gles. "Don't give me away. I wanted to satisfy myself how they compared with ours. They' re punk!" And he 'had paid his bill, shaken Ruggles warmly by the hand, and departed, with nobody in the place the wiser. But now, as he stood quivering at the door, an even greater shock was in store for Ruggles. Dick, having de- to assist a lady to alight, and as Rug- gles stared, fascinated, he - this transcendent vision of loveliness was the pulsating original of the por- |" traits tacked about the walls of his little Passy abode. // It was actually Ruth Downing, the only daughter of Richard P. Downing and the sister of Dick. Ruggles had a sensation as of a great many small white mice scram- bling up his spine. But in spite of this Olympian inva- sion, he did not lose his head. Every- thing was in order for the visitation of the heaven-born, and Ruggles was conscious of a soul-searching exulta- tion that the honors of the reception were to devolve upon him and not upon Durand. The much bebuttoned boy whose duty it was to tend the door had scampered off to lunch, so Ruggles opened the doors and wait- ed. The two in did not imme- diately enter. They paused to exam- ine the display of samples in the win- dow, and, so far as Ruggles could certain, seemed pleased with the e: position. "Very latest models," he heard Dick say, as he bent his Jovian brows on the display. "Good a show as I've seen in any of our ghons. at home or over here." : Hurrah!

A case has been cited of a contract with a great Dutch concern, which was lost went to England, despite the much lower price quoted by Germany, bes cause the Dutch mistrusted the ability of Krupp's to carry out the contract.

"Gov.

Gover- nor Calles recently returned to So- nora to turn over the government of the state to Adolfo De La Huerta, his successor. Mr. Calles had previously decreed prohibition for Sonora, but on his return found that moonshiners and smugglers were evading the law. So, following Carranza's system of legislating by decree, which was first used in Mexico in the preconstitution- al days and has been continued by Carranza since that time, Calles is- sued another decree, addressed to the political heads of the various city and ! and | town officials, which reads: "The executive has seen fit to de-| otice of your municipality, in order | that there may be no excuse of ignor- ance of the law, that hercafter all; those persons in any way 'dealing in: liquor shall be executed." | i American Officers Decorated London, England. --Sir Douglas | Haig decorated 16, Américan officers on the Horse Guards Parade, before, Major- General Biddle and the British and American staffs, surrounded by! | thousands of spectators..

Five Hundred Years Ago New Europe Strangely Like a Very | Old Europe What is happening now with regard to the parcelling out of the countries in Europe into new racial divisions is! very much like what it was 500 years ago. According to Sir Sidney®Low, new Europe was str angely like a very old Europe. Five centuries ago there was then a united and independent! Poland, including West Prussia and reaching as far as the Baltic. There was a kingdom of Bohemia embracing | the Czecho-Slovak countries, a king-t dom of Hungary, a Ukrainia, or Ru- thenia divided off from Muscovite! Russia, a separate Courland and Es- thonia, a. greater Serbia or Jugo- | Slavia, a Greek kingdom occupying the rest of the Balkan lands, except the Dalmatian coasts and islands, which were under an Italian republic. ! Then time worked its slow but dras- tic changes. Most of these states were swallowed up in the four great imperial aggregates, Austria, | Russia, Turkey and Prussian Ger- | many. The war leaves the empires broken so that the map of the 20th century will' show the medieval king- | doms and republics revived, and will strikingly 'resemble one which might have been drawn in the fifteenth, ; Awkward For Hubby Mme.
