THE EVENING STORY.
AN IDEAL.
tcopyriebt. 1914. by W. Werner

| Ruzzy was only ten years old when he
first saw her. He was a kicked. hungry
homeless, friendless newsboy who had
never known parents. She was fruit
vendor, bent -shouldered, old and hardly
| strong enough to wheel the heavy cart
Her hair was gray. She had found him
whimpering because an older boy had
bullied him off his route. She gave him
a half-decayed banana. Brace up. SON.
n.y." she scolded. This world amt no
place for whimperers''
| He grinned sheepishly. ate the banana.
and braced up to such effect that he
| speedily found better route.
| He didn't see her again for three years.
| Then he was thirteen, and neither so
| hungry nor SO friend!ess He was an en-
| ergetic. sharp-eyed little chap. with an
uncannily quick knack of raking in the
| pennies. And every penny raked he
promptly spent shooting craps or for eat
| abes. Then one evening he passed the
old woman and instantly recognized the
| straight, high nose bridge and stern black
eyes, cobwebbed though they were by
the wrinkles and film o. added years. She
had no memory OF him, but she nodded
curt thanks when he yanked thieving
little Italian from her pyramid of red
apples.
with brusque and genial interest.
Papers he told her.
and you're saving, I spect, to get a
regular big stand,' she probed absently
as she handed six pears to a shifty-eyed
man and at once held bac'' - him a
punctured dime with a aO~ess not.

Now Ruzzy had heretofore lived for the
present and allowed the future to take
care of it's own careless self. But her
words were a prod. More, they were
rebuke. Why. in the name of all that
was sensible. hadn't he been saving for
regular stand? He was suddenly
ashamed OF past waste. Craps and chilli
con carne! He mortifiedly gazed back at
a past punctuated extravagantly by those
unnecessaries. But, never again! He
darted off for another bunch of papers.
The saving fever lay hot upon him.

on the stand. Ruzzy forgot anger and
doldrums. Insensibly his pulse beat fast

was ashamed.
He pushed the magazine toward her,

She didn't hear. Her fruit cart had
claimed her attention and she strobe on.
He had kicked away the fascination of
the race track as he had kicked away
craps. He plunged into night school;

In two years he owned a stand, selling
magazines as well as papers He began
with a low-priced weekly: he ended with
a gorgeous rack Of best sellers. He
evolved from a sharp-eyed youngster in
to clever eyed young man. He forgot
the old woman except vaguely. His bust
ness was too absorbing to admit of more
than an abstract recollection Of Its In
spiration.
Then as the business got to solid foot
ing Ruzzys ambition relaxed. He didn't
go back to crap shooting. He had get
beyond that. But he had formed an
other, more alluring form of gambling
He began to put his surplus cash into
the bookmakers' genial outstretched
hands. Presently he began to hand ovel
cash that was not surplus. Presently
the gorgeous rack began to be depleted
and not refilled. and Ruzzy spent long
moody hours berating his "rctten luck"
One evening. while he was in the angr,
losses, the old woman passed the stand

in life robbed him of whatever assur-
ance nature had given him. But with
Norma Hayes he was so conscious OF

put him at his ease. She, in fact, treated
him with the cool. .I-really-don't-care-
for-you politeness that enhances girls
conscious superiority.
Ruzzy, however, had grit. Otherwlse
he would never have evolved from news
boy into corporation lawyer. And though
there were times when he looked at the
thoroughbred line of her profile and the
aristocratic curve of her nostrils and
chin and had a sickening sense that she
by birth belonged to a class to which
he did not he merely set his jaw firm

to allow him to call asked her a sixth

NO" she said coldly.
Ruzzy left his friends Office huffily and
drearily. OF course. he wasn't class. But
he was pretty sure he could make her
happy, provided she was willing to be
made happy by him. If she'd only let
him get acquainted with herself and her
people. Then he pumped his dlSappofnt-

for him. But Ruzzy morosely meditated
that women and newspaper routes are
not the same. You can find another
route just as good There was no other
woman to compensate for Norma
Hayes.
He met her one night on the car.
Rather. he met her often. and at her

offended flush in her cheeks.
They walked two blocks then half

of a decrepit cottage. Ruzzy was sur
nrised Somehow he had always mag
ined that she worked from choice, not

only comfort-so he had thought-could
give.

house. She was bent and old, with a
high. straight nose. and grim eyed and
wrinkled You're late. Norma" she COM

Iblance to Norma, and in flash he part

ficially Recognized byICC

The interstate commerce commission

market conditions" in deciding a case

WILSON TALKS TO
TRADE UNTONTSTS
Cabinet Member Makes Address to
American Federation of Labor
Convention.
WORK OF HIS DEPARTMENT
Says IL Has Handled scores of Trade
Disputes and settled All hut
Three-TwO Questions of
JurisdictiOn Decided.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 2o.-"There can
be no permanent industrra1 peace that IS
not based on Industrial justice" declared
William b. Wilson. secretary Of the Fed
eral Department of Labor. today to the
delegates OF the American Federation OF
Labor.
introduced to the convention by Presl-
dent Gompers as our Bill" and address
ing the delegates as fellow trade union
lists" Secretary Wilson said that he had
been criticised for certain statements he
had made at the federation's convention
at Seattle last year. and declared that he
reaffirned what he said there.
The secretary said he also had beer
accused of partisanship in conducting his
department. "If securing justice to those
who earn their living by the sweat OF
their face is craftsmanship" he exclaimed
then count me a partisan on the side
of the man that laJors."
Mr. Wilson in telling of the work OF
his department said that the last year
snd, half 1t had handled scores OF trade
disputes, and that they have been set
tied with the exception of a Pere Mar
ouette strike and the strikes at Calumet
and In Colorado. The department, he
added, takes the stand that the employer
and the employee have mutual interest in
creating n greater amount of production
with given amount of labor. They diff
fer only as to the share that should go
to each and under the method II should
be produced. When the employer and
the employee reach this stage, he said
