gesture that indicated, Pick out your

The bronze-faced boy gazed with
mouth agape for full minute. Then
he recovered his breath.
"Whadye mean to tell mel can

shouted. Think I'm crazy? Come
on now--dig 'em out?'
Henri expostulated In rapid French
that he didu't know what II was all

All morning Henri engaged in YER

off the assaults of wrathy soldiers.
That night he consulted a French Of

Next morning the cobbler shop was
closed. On the step outside was pile

! With the American Army in France
(by mail) .--America's entrance into
the world war brought food OF
prosperity rushing into the cohbler
shop of old Henri Rappal. But Henri
couldn't harness the food. 1t simply
overwhelmed him, passed on and left
the little old man a little whittier OF
hair, little more wrinkled and not
sou richer.
Before the American army invaded
a certain French village. s1uatted
down at the foot Of a high hill. Henri
led a frugal, contented peaceful ex-
istence. On Sunday he wont to church.
On Monday, Suzanne, the daughter of
the cafe keeper next door, brought In
her high-hee.ed shoes to be repaired.
ON Tuesday old Andre climbed down
from his high wheeled cart with n
muddy pair of thick boots - be hob
nailed. And so 1t went all week.
Now old Henri knew Suzanne, ana
he knew Suzanne's shoes. Likewise
he had drunk many a bottle of red
wine with Andre, and he knew An
dre's boots as we'll as he knew his
praers. When Suzanne came for her
shoes end Andre for his boots the
wrinkled-faced little cobbler hobbled
over and picked them out OF a pile
near the stove.
The Americans came to town on
Monday There had been rumors of
their coming for days Madame who
ran the village tabac shop had been
laying in stores of vile smelling Gig
arettes and heaps of chocolates with
visions OF sudden wealth in her pretty
head. The cafe keepers. the hotel
proprietor and the old man who kept
the knick-knack shop near the Town
hall rubbed his hands with glee ard
made ready to found the family for
tunes. Old Henri smiled over his
work, too.
On Tuesday Henri had his first
American customer. A bronze faced
boy in khaki pushed III the door lug
ging pair of heavy army shoes.
Look" said the doughboy. point
ing to q run down heel. Pas bon, you
hx-compree? ?"
The old cobbier nodded assent. The
doughboy passed out. Henri tossed
the shoes into the pile near the stove,
filled his pipe and went on whiting
a tough piece of leather.
The door opened ten minutes later.
Say" shouted another youth In
khaki. exhibiting pair of shoes with
n ripped-out eyelet. "moi--you repair
---compree ?"
The old man nodded. The boy in
khaki went out whistling. The shoes
went into the pile and Henri resumed
his whiting, only to be interrupted
q few minutes later by Doughboy No,
;, then by Doughhoy No. ana
throughout the day by an endless pro-
cession OF Sammies with shoes TO he
repaired.
whe. Henri winked out the light
in his shop and climbed the stairs to
his good wife there were forty pairs
of American army shoes piled high
in a dark corner. When he fairly
tripped up the stairs the following
night. humming an old French love
song, there was a mountain OF those
same rough looking shoes back. in the
one looking exactly like
the other.
The storm broke on Thursday
Henri looked UP from his work into
the eyes OF bronze-faced hoy--his
first customer.
'shoes--moi-fni? inquired tbs
Sammy.
'Ah---oui--oui!" answered the cob
bier.
"Ou?" asked the doughboy.
