A RANK OUTS DER.

II disapprove of the engagement; and
as Pamela's eldest brother and the head
of the family, think my opinion should
count for something" The Earl of Ave
ton raised himself on his toes and then
dropped his heels pompously to empha-
size his feelings on the subject of his
sisters engagement to James Mackay.
"Of course your opinion counts, Ave
ton; still, in this case, l think you are
unreasonable" Ills mother spoke with
her usual suavity; but the snap of her
fan told of suppressed irritation.
"My dear mother! the fellow is an out
slider"
Pooh. Francis; no one is an outsider
nowadays; you are behind the times to
say so; really | see no reason why
Pamela should not marry James Mae
kay" Lord Aveton frowned.
His very name is an oifense," he
grumbled, james Mackay!"
The library door opened as the head
of the family was saying the obnoxious
name in tones of contempt; and gay
fresh voice exclaimed:
"Here YOU are mother; l am back
early. Oh! Francis. how are you? You
look more than ordinarily solemn"
Lord Aveton's dried-up face stif|ened

solemn, Pamela; l have just heard OF

Pamela's creamy skin became tinged
with pink; she threw up her head with a
naughty gesture

in IA measured voice why should my

with a pompous snort, and cleared hi:

Lady Pamela laughed low. soft

CHANGES IN FooTGEAR.
'Squeaking' Shoes Formerly Demanded
by Customers.

'oQuedklU9 SHOHS
by Customers.
Most persons of the present day abhor
squeaking boots or shoes. Indeed, many
regard such footgear as Il nuisance and
particularly disagreeable, even on the
street, and the wearer of musical soleS as
one TO be pitied. There are some old
timers, however, who can recall instances
when customers required the squeaking
accompaniment to their footgear and re-
fused to purchase boots or shoes which
would make no noise. 4 very old shoe
maker states that in his young days he
was often required to put squeak in the
soles of shoes ordered, and that it was
one of the requirements of a jOurneyman
shoemaker to be able to put in good
squeak"
"This was DONE" said he, "by placing
between the soles pieces of quill in such
way that they would rub together.
suppose that those who wanted the
squeak desired to draw attention to
themselves, and have heard of some in
stances when it was acknowledged. In
one case a young countryman, having
been measured for n pair of shoes, and
having agreed to the price, left the shop,
but returned and requested the shoe
maker to please put a quarters worth of
squeakem in them air shoes, case
