The senior member of the firm of
IIII1 h Company hastily donned tint and
cont, preparatory to leaving on an ex
tended business trip. As usual, he
had allowed himself only the mlnlratim
time In which to catch the train. And
had very few minutes to spare. He
was about to lonve the office when he
hurriedly remarked: "Oh, by the way,
Ills Emerson, 1 Just happened to
Chink ; tomorrow Is my young nephew's
blrthdny, nnd I've quite forgotten to
end him a remembrance. I wish yon
would select an appropriate gift and
bave It charged to my account and
end It to Mm. Inclosing my card."
Without offtng any suggestions,
and without waiting for even a casual
question, Mr. Hill departed, leaving
his secretary. Ellth Emerson, quite
bewildered. Idly Angering a slip of pa
per on which was written only the ad
dress of her employer's nephew. In a
nearby city.
As secretary to Mr. Hill. Edith's
duties were Indeed varied. Ills latest
request, however, was the most un
usual he had ever made, but she real
ized, strange as It was, she would have
to go through with It.
"An appropriate gift for my young
nephew," she repeated: "very explicit
Instructions If that Isn't Just like a
man I"
For several minutes she sat tn deep
thought nnd then suddenly she remem
bered the picture on Mr. Hill's desk.
Entering the private office of her em
ployer she picked np nn oval frame
containing the picture of a chubby
faced boy, presumably ten or twelve
years of age. Yes, she was quite cer
tain this was the nephew of whom
Mr. mil had spoken quite frequently.
Noontime found Edith Emerson tn
the toy department of one of the large
emporiums, fairly revelling In the
various models of miniature airplanes,
of which her knowjedge was rather
limited. After enlisting the services
of the very affable salesman, however,
she succeeded In selecting one,' and
had It sent to the address she had
been given. Inclosing Mr. Hill's card,
as Instructed.
It was Indeed a relief to realize that
the Irksome task had been accom
plished and Edith now plunged Into
her work with renewed vigor.
Affairs at the office proceeded as
usual during the absence of Mr. 17.111,
and It was not long before he re
turned. Apparently he had complete
ly forgotten his nephew, as well as the
birthday gift, because no mention was
made of It. Edith, too, had quite for
gotten the Incident by this time., un
til one day about two months later,
when It was recalled to her mind
quite vividly.
It was In the midst of a busy fore
noon, and she ' was unexpectedly
called Into the private office of "ber
employer, to be confronted by a very
pleasing looking young man with a
pair of smiling brown eyes. Mr. IIU1,
usually very serious looking, was now
wreathed In smiles and Edith could
not quite account for It.
"This Is my nephew. Theodore mil.
Miss Emerson," her employer began
hy way of Introduction. "You will
remember we" sent him a blrthdny gift
some time ago, and he now wishes to
express his appreciation." Edith
looked with amazement from one to
the other, nnd then her gaze rested
on the photograph on Mr. Hill's desk.
She could not quite get the connec
tion, and then gradually It all dawned
upon her she realized Just what had
happened she had mistaken the
young man who now stood before her
for the little boy whose picture she
had so mneh admired. Explanations
were beyond her; she was enihar
raRsed to the point of mortification,
and Mr. Hill, appreciating the circum
stances, at once cnine to her rescue.
"It was all my fault. Miss Emer
son." be said as he placed a fatherly
hand on her shoulder: "you see, I
can't quite realize that Ted has grown
to be n man I still think of him as
the little boy of yore, and my refer
ence to Ulm simply misled 0ii. As to
ME. MUDPEK-
VUr4
the photograph," he continued, "It
was taken some fifteen years ago. but
I still cherish It for Its ffnd recollec
tion of bygone days."
My this time EIIth was more at
ease, and was able to appreciate the
humor of It, as well as Ted, who stood
silently by, apparently Immensely
amused. From the admiring glance
he was casting at Ellth, however. It
was apparent thnt he was very much
smitten with the little secretary. And
Edith, although she would not admit
It even to herself, could not help but
think how rhannlng Ted Hill really
was.
It was stronge. but nevertheless
true, how many subsequent visits Ted
found It necessary to make to his
uncle's office, and particularly what
an Important part Edith played In
them. Even the staid Mr. 1 1 1 1 1 began
to notice the frequency of his nephew's
rails, and he soon reollzed thot It was
something other thnn his esteem for
his uncle which prompted them.
In n fast moving train, a hnppy
hrldnl polr are starting life's Journey
together. "Oh. look nt the airplane,
dear." Ted rem:irk as he looks out
of the train window. "How strange
-nti should have noticed If." Edith re
lilies. Hut after nil. It was not very
strange when Ted considers If It we:-e
not for the toy airplane he might
never have won his dear little bride

PERHAPS the railroad men and a good many of our fel
low townsmen, think we lose sigha of the fact that they
wear work clothes a big part of the time.
But we don't; we may not talk so much about them, but
that's because buying them isn't so important a matter with
you.
It's clothes for "dress up" that you're particular about;
they involve more of an investment and they're the ones you
rely on when you want to look right.
That's why we have Ilart Schaffner & Marx clothes for
you they're stylish; worth the money.
But youll find the same good values in the things we have
here for work" wear. Shirts, overalls, gloves, caps, shoes any
thing you need, at surprisingly low prices.
Our satisfaction guarantee goes with work clothes as well
as the rest of our goods ; money's worth or money back.
