OLD CLAY PIPE HIS LEGACY
Old Soldier Had Particular Reason for
Valulng Trlfie Left Him by
comrade.

A touching little romance OF a clay
pipe was told to a London writer by a
to%bacconist.
It concerned an old gentleman who
had every appearance Of an Indian Of.
hcer, and who one day brought the
%tobacconist Just about the dirtiest
clay pipe he had ever set eyes on. He
wanted the bowl fitted with a raised
cover in gold in the shape OF a helmet.
On which was to be engraved the
crest and the motto OF a certain regi-
ment. The shopkeeper told the gen
tleman that they would do their best,
but as the bowl was already cracked
It would require careful handling.
and wouldn't stand much pressure,
WELL" he replied, III your work
man breaks that bowl he'd better quit
the country at once, for his life won't
be worth a days purchase"
Luckily, this weird threat didn't re-
Quire to be put into execution, for the
job was finished without a mishap,
%whereupon the old gentleman, after
paying the bill, sent for the workman
and gave him a present OF SIS.
He then co~ndescended to tell the
%tobacconist that his reason for at
taching 30 much value to a clay was
that 1t belonged to an Irish soldier
who had twice saved his life in a
frontier The soldier was a bit
Of a n~e'er-do-well. and never got pro-
motion. When be died he left his
clay pipe. which was absolutely the
only thing In the world he could call
his own, to the general-the tobac-
conist's customer.

COMMERCE
BY HAROLD CARTER.

IT was a sudden impulse that took
little Miss Dimsey into the private

Of the cheap department store in
which she worked. She went in bold
ly, her only encouragement the fact
that old Ludwig knew her, and had
once or twice stopped and spoken to
her in his fatherly way.
Well, Miss Dimseyl" said the old
man. looking up over his spectacies
and beaming at her.
Little Miss Dimsey's well-planned
story broke down, and she broke into
tears. The old man looked graYely
concerned.
Tell me your troubles" he said,
handing her a chair.

raised" sobbed Anita Dimsey. 81 cant

I guess that's about enough said
the girl. And l don't know what to
do. We are at our wits ends for
money. How can you expect a girl to
live decently on that, even If she has
only herself to look out for?"
Ludwig looked at her thoughtfully
You know, Miss Dimsey-" he began,
and checked himself. Tell me some

means of support?"
NO. sir, except what l earn. She

making a home for three when he
