would be glad to help out the German
customers. And we will see how things
go for a couple of weeks"
ION a commission basis" demanded
Miss Rogers.
Yes; on a commission basis. That's
safer all round"
"All right; I'm satisfied. In six
months you'll be glad to pay me the
highest salary in the store, my commits
sions will be so big"
So between them Mr.. Brown and
Miss Rogers planned her work And
the next day Miss Rogers became a
regular part of Browns Emporium.
For a time her commissions were dis
couragingly small. The Germans OF
the neighborhood, the prosperous ele-
ment of the place, had got out Of the
habit of coming to Browns. But now
and then one dropped in. And when
once they had shopped through the
agreeable, competent young woman with
desk by the door they never shopped
in any other way. And they sent their
friends to her, too.
In six months Miss Rogers predic-
ZION was fulfilled. Mr.. Brown did come
to wish that he had started her on a
salary. But he was making more from
her presence in his store than she was,
and he agreed that the commission basis
was fair one
In year the Emporium had increased
its stock immensely, with direct view
of supplying the wants of the German
farmers. They would 60 to no other
store. Even those who could speak
English focked there, as people always
do flock to a store with special repu-
tation.
That was years ago, and after Miss
Rogers had been at the Emporium for
two years the Spanish war broke out,
and with an eye for the future she took
up correspondence course in Spanish.
When the war was over she found a
substitute for Mr.. Brown-who was
paid a comfortable salary, by the way
and went to one of the big cities as
Spanish and German interpreter for a
big department store. For Cubans and

interpreter. l am sure the young mar
could find what you want if he could
understand you"
A Modified expression crossed Mrs
Schweneker's rather irate face. She
explained to Miss Rogers about her ex-
perience in the other store. Nothing
but the gay display of parasols in the
window of Browns Emporium had
tempted her to break her resolve to &C
back to the farm without making any
purchases.
But those parasols are so pretty, and
my little Lottie wants one-a red one,
The small stores that the Germans here
in town keep have no stock to offer us,
and so we buy from the mail-order
houses. 1t is not so pleasant as seeing
the things to choose from-but it is
better than trying to talk to these stupid
men with no German in their heads"
Miss Rogers high-school German
was taxed a little, but she understood
enough of what Mrs. Schweneker said
to pilot her about the store and help her
to buy the things she wanted. Mr..
Brown, steaIthily and with a twinkle
in his eye, followed her. And when
Mrs. Schweneker left with Ss.7s worth
of merchandise in her care, he had to
admit that Miss Rogers had won her
position.

She went to the Emporium and saw
Mr.. Brown himself.

Mr.. Brown when he heard her story,
but business is poor. The German
population about here patronizes the
smaller houses that cater to them. l
cannot afford another clerk"
He walked to the front of the store
with her. And as they passed the
counter where a few paraSols were in
vitingly spread forth, in company with
canes and umbrellas, fans, and automo-
bile caps and goggles, they met Mrs.
Schweneker, again confronting a pa
tient clerk with her dreadful English
and hopeless gesticulation.
Mr.. Brown looked at the farmers
wife in discouraged way.
There, you see that? Ny clerks
don't speak German, and neither do l ;
so of course those people won't buy
from U.s."
Miss Rogers heart gave a cheerful
bound.
But 1 do" she said. Don't you see
what an advantage I'd be? Quick;
make a bargain. If I can make her
spend S. here, will you give me chance
to show whether I'm worth while or
not?"
Mr.. Brown gave his promise, and
Miss Rogers hurried to the distressed
German woman.

tongue Mrs. Schweneker understood,

- world, amt it? If things don't
suit you can have them changed.
Here's guy that says that if the climate
don't give satisfaction he's ready to
dump couple of hods of mud onto the
Grand Banks, and he proves by map
that it would make the Gulf Stream run
around in circles and warm things up
so that the ice cream soda trade would
be the one best bet in January and the
only living thing that would have any
use for an overcoat would be a moth.
You give some of these modern john
mics few million dollars and a couple
of old mud scows and a gang of dagos
and they'll swat the poor old Gulf
Stream couple of whacks and make it
go whinnying up the Mississippi Valley
at such pace it will splash up the Falls
OF St. Anthony and make all the mill
wheels run backward and the folks in
St. Paul and Minneapolis will sit on
their porches and use fans in December
Nobody has any respect for the good old
institutions like the Gulf Stream and
the Isthmus of Panama and the appen-
dix any more They've got the light
ming walking the tight wire, and the
next thing they'll be having the Gulf
Stream jumping through hoop.
If you don't like your face you don't
have to wear mask these days. You
take look in the mirror and say, Gee
what a punk nose! 1t looks as if my
grandfather had been a parrot" But

~ NE day German farmers wife
in Pennsylvania - Mrs. Hans
~ Schweneker, we will call her
walked into the biggest dry goods store
in the town nearest her home. She had
driven in from her husbands farm that
morning with vegetables for the local
market and a shipment of cheese to be
sent to Pittsburgh. The market money
lay heavy in her purse, and, after the
manner of women, she wanted to buy a
new frock for herself, a few cooking
utensils, parasol for her small daugh-
ter, and pipe for her husband
The big store to which she went had
all these things The summer weather
was propitious, crops were big; so why
not leave in the store some of the money
and take home in the waiting wagon
the merchandise she desired? There
would be more money on next market
day for the interest on the farm mort
gage and a payment toward the little
nest egg she and Hans were laying by
Mrs. Schweneker, secure in the pos
session of plenty of money, walked up
to a pleasant-faced young clerk. And
right here came her awakening from
dreams of shopping bout. For Mrs.
Schweneker could speak English of
only the most broken and unintelligible
sort and the clerk could speak no Ger
man. She had been in this country for
several years, but her neighbors were all
of her nationality and spoke and under
stood her native tongue. Her children
they would learn English in the
schools. That was right. But for her
why should she trouble her head with
mastering a strange language? She did
not need it. It was better that she
should spend her time securing and
scrubbing and sewing for Hans and
their children.
When Mrs. Schweneker had reasoned
in this way, she had been like the other
women of the region. But she had
overlooked in her reasoning her desire
to shop on that prosperous summer day.
Heretofore when she had come to the
shop her husband or one of her chill

Perky came out rubbing his hands.
"Greatp he says. Fine, if it can be

who's the kid you stole from the
GRADER" I says.
"KidP says Perky. Suzanne, you

draw the line somewhere. You should
not call that monumental genius kid.

dren had been with her, and her way
had been easy.
She, with her German-tied tongue
and the unimaginative but agreeable
young clerk, with his knowledge OF
English and his inability to understand
Mrs. Schweneker's motions and words
faced each other helplessly. And, NOR
tilted by her seeming ignorance, Mrs
Schweneker left the store, climbed into
her wagon, and started down the street
decided to go straight home.
A few minutes earlier Miss Ivy Rog-
ers, an eighteen-year-old young woman
of Pittsburgh, had passed out of the
same store. She had gone into it in
search of a position, but the store re-
ported slow business, and could find no
place for her. So, depressed but not
discouraged, she wandered down the
street to Browns Emporium, a store
not so pretentious as the other. 1t
seemed hardly likely that the smaller
store would find a place for her serv-
ices if the larger one could not; but she
decided to try for a position at any
rate.
Miss Rogers had the same story that
many another young American women
has to tell. Her father had died sud
denly, leaving nothing in the way of
accumulated funds to smooth her path
to the future Pittsburgh, big and bust
ling, frightened her. She had had four
years in high school, but she had had
no business training, and she had no
money to acquire any. So she had
made her way to this farming metrop-

Don't you know who DR.. Amos Pickle
helm is, the great DR.. Pickelheim, Of
the Hockemeller Institute? The man
who discovered that the left hind leg OF
a cat can be grated onto the right ear
of mule?"
ooh, himT / says. 1--WE heard of him
in the Sunday papers. But what good
would the left hind leg of cat do on
the right ear of mule?"
What good?" says Perky. What a
question! No good, unless the mule
might be able to scratch its nose with
its ear, but what triumph What an
immortal triumph! The left hind leg
of cat, Suzanne, that no one ever sup
posed could live and grow and-and-
so forth-anywhere except on the left
hind end of a cat, and DR.. Pickelheim
makes it grow and live and-and-and
so forth--on the right ear of mule !!
Superb! And the clams!"
What about the clams?" l says.
Haven't you heard about the clans,
and the wonders he worked with them"
said Perky. He was shocked that l
hadn't. why, that marvellous man
can cut a clam in two, and then cut an
other clam in two, and then he can fit
the halves of the two different CLAIMS
together, and make two new CLAIMS of
them. He can take a clam and cut it
in two and eat half of it, and take an
other clam and cut IT in two and eat half
OF that clam, and then he can take the
two remaining halves and fit them to-
gether and make perfectly good clam
that will live and breathe and be as
clammy as any clam for over two min

very excited. HE can take your back

But l bet he wontI" I says.
"He can take your backbone" says
Perky, "and cut a link or two out Of it,
and then take the backbone OF pig, and
he can put your backbone in the pig
and the pigs in you, and-and-there
you are! Think of it, there you arel
And there's the pig, too" says Perky.

IT'S great little world, amt it," l
says.
1T is a wonderful world" says Perky
We'll, it will be a lot greater before
any kid like him cuts sections out of
my backbone to put in a pig says.
"Or puts any of pigs backbone in me.
What good has any of these things
doneo"
None" says Perky, fairly glowing
with enthusiasm. None! And that's
the wonderful part of it! Think of cut
ting CLAIMS in two and sticking them to-
gether again when it does no good
Think of grating the left hind leg of a
cat onto the right ear of a mule when it
does no good. Think of mixing up all
kinds of backbones and things when it
does no goodl Wonderful triumph Of
devotion to science"

to paying for chisels they did not order
So they are usually pretty careful. If
the customer won't pay, the value of the
chisel is a dead loss.

you the working side of hand mirror
and you have nose that would make
the Venus de Milo sniffle with envy.
Same with warts. A wart don't
worry you nowadays. In the old days
grandma hung onto the wart she had
when she was a little girl, and every
time her needles clicked she had to take
the other hand and hike the yarn over
the wart or knit her hand into grandpa S
ol-and-an-inch-thick socks. But
now! You find a wart starting right
on the knuckle you use to rub the end
of your nose when you are trying to re-
member whether you spell believe lie or
eli, but you don't fret. You go to the
surgeon.

Then they put you on the glass slab and

How does that feel?" he asks. Punk"

Take a long breath, please We will

man? Now, while saw off this wart

dix and a couple of lungs and anything
that isn't riveted fast II you run into
anything that won't come loose, call me

When you come to you feel as light as
air and no pain except where William
is sewing you up with sail Irvine.

good job. You're as hollow as a drum
