Fate works curious tricks upon NOR
tails. When Henry Drummond tossed :
three letters of application to his pri-
vate secretary with the curt comment,
"Have them come to see me Saturday at
~ten," it was the whimsical goddess who
. included the epistle Of Moses Shaplnsky.
Drummond had been musing at the
name. 1t had suggested to him all sorts
of things uncouth and foreign. 10
Drummond the adjectives were synony-
nous.
I "Shapinsky," he had laughed softly to
himself, sounds like a cork popping out
of champagne bottle" AS he laughed,
however, he failed to throw the letter
among the discards. 1t remained segre-
gated therefore, among the small pile
of letters from those who were to be
favored with an interview.
Norris, the secretary, had looked at the
name in surprise. He had been FIVE
years in the employ of Henry Drum
mond and knew the boss habits Of
thought. But he dared not question.
: Drummond believed in obedience. The
secretarys response to the wishes Of his
employer was automatic.
Saturday morning at 10 Moses Shapin-
sky presented himself. He was the last
of the three applicants to be shown into
the inner office.
Henry Drummond hardly looked up
q when he entered.
"I was impressed with your letter of
application, Mr.. Dickson" he began.
Moses was taken aback.
II beg your pardon, sir" faltered
Noses "but that is not my name"
"What is your name?" Drummond
looked up brusquely.
"Shapinsky"
"How n-I mean how on earth did
you get here? Who sent for your"
II was now Shapinsky's turn to be
surprised.
eYou did, sir" He showed the letter.
.Drun1Ir1ond looked at it critically.
'Norris, how did this happen? He
turned to- his secretary.
"It was in the batch you gave me, sir,
sexpfained the assistant. tf;l,js...
"Mr. Shapinsky," said Drunmohd,
turning to the applicant with q curious
mixture of contempt and apology in his
s;tone, Tthere's1 been mistake. We did
not intend sending for you. In Our book

departments, we use only American

"Did you enlist?"
"No. that is"

"No, that is"
"Dd you fight when your country was
in danger?"
"My father was Colonel John Drum
mond directly under Fighting Joe Hook
er during the Civil War;" boasted Drum
mond.
"But what did you do personally in
this WARP"
IT bought liberty bonds"
"The best investment in the world and
a means of lodging inconvenient Fed

young man-Mr. Shapinsky-you're
inso1ent. | shall summon an officer and
have you arrested for disorderly con-
duct. Norris" Drummond went white
with rage.
"Just a moment before you do that
said Shapinsky, II want to ask you, as
an honest man, to tell me whether on
evidence presented you are better
American than l am"
II refuse to answer" roared Drum
mond. His pride and vanity were hurt.
you're one of those drafted fellows
anyhow. Probably had soft snap some
where in a training camp. Leave it to
you foreigners to get out OF your obj
cations"
Shapinsky drew himself up proudly.
"You are more narrow-minded than
/ thought any human could be and live"
he said. Pardon me for producing my
last argument Just remember that you
forced me to it, I am not doing it in
spirit of boastfulness. But / happen to
have as much pride in my race as you
have in yours And it gives me pleasure
in my own humble person, to vindicate
it's patriotism"
Shapinsky unbuttoned his coat. On
his vest hung medallion. =
"The Congressional Medal" he NUT
tered reverently.
"For extraordinary bravery in action
added Norris. =
"And now, gentlemen, good, day. I'm
sorry I lost my temper" .Shapinsky had
his hand on the door knob.
Drunmond leaped forward to detain
him. ,%.:i

II am an American" he said simply.
Drummond coughed Indignantly. He
disliked being contradicted.
"You are foreigner" snapped Drum
mond curtly Even though an error had
been made he saw NO further reason for
being polite to this pretender.
Shapinsky kept his temper.
"I love my country, sir" he said. "I
give my allegiance only to her. In
humble way have tried to serve her.
I am an American"
II tell you you're foreigner" per-
sisted Drummond. "Who ever heard Of
an American Shapinsky? I suppose you'll
tell me next day your folks came over
with mine on the Mayfower?
mo, but if any of your folks were
saved from the Saturnalia," he named
an Atlantic transport that had been tor
pedoed by a U-boat, "I may have had
the honor OF living with them in life
boat for two days"
Drummonds voice became mellower,
more sympathetic.
"An ex-service man?" he inquired. For
the first time he noticed the little bronze
button in the lapel of the applicants
coat.
Shapinsky nodded. He checked an i'm
pulse to tell this man what he really
thought of him and his Amercanism.
WELL" drawled Drummond, harden
ing again, 81 suppose you were drafted?"
"I was" admitted Shapinsky.
"You couldn't help yourself, then,
said Drummond in mocking voice, you
had to be patriotic"
"Whether / had to be or not" said
Shapinsky in dangerously dry tone that
should have warned Drummond, that
is between my conscience and my God.
But since you have dared to question
my Americanism, should like to make
certain Of yours"
"There is the door," pointed Drum
mond.
"You will be taken out through that
very door feet first and with lily in
your hand, if you don't answer me hon
estly,"' said Shapihsky. "You have raised
the issue of Americanisn and"
