’ SHOES CAME BACK.
HOW MR. AND MRS. ALGERNON. SMITH
DISPOSED OF A NUISANCE.
They Couldn't Sell the Things Couldn't
Give Them Away and Were Not Permit
ted to Lose Them—Finally Smith Thought
of the Furnace, and All I* Well.
A rag peddler was slowly passing
Mts. Algernon Smith’s house when that
good woman hailed him.
“How much for old shoes?”
“Helluva cent a pount for vool an
cotton. I gan’t puy ole shoes.”
“But won’t you give me something
for them?”
“Any iron or pottles you vant to sell,
lady? Yon vant to sell dose t’ings vat
you has on? Helluva cent a pount. I
gan no more gif. I vant not dose shoes,
not for nottings. Nottings else?”
Mrs. Smith indignantly closed the
window. When her husband came home
at night, she said:
“Algernon, I want you to take a lot
of pld shoes I’ve done up in a package
and throw them away. ’ ’
“Why don’t you give them to the
•washerwoman?’ ’ asked Mr. Smith.
"She won’t have them—says they’re
not her kind of shoes, ” was the answer.
“They are all either too large or too
small, the heels are too high, and they
are the wrong number. I offered them
to a tramp, and he said when he went
intc the shoe business he would let me
know —he wasn’t buying misfits yet. ”
“I like his impudence. Where are
they? I’ll make short work of them,”
said Mr. Smith, and he took the big
bundle his wife gave' him and went out.
In 15 minutes he was back.
“So you got rid of them, ” said his
wife joyfully. “I think there was an
accumulation of six years in that lot.
Some of them I had given to people
SVho were begging at the door, but I al
ways found them again next day in the
lot Old shoes are like cats, if you send
.them away they always come back. ’ ’
“The cat won’t come back this time, ”
said her husband. “I dumped them in a
vacant lot and ran. After this when
you buy a pair of new shoes leave your
old ones at the store. ’ ’
Next morning as Smith was do
ing her housework the door bell rang.
“I guess maybe you’ve had a bur
glary,” said the cheery voice of a man
who stood on the steps and seemed in a
hurry. “I found this bundle, with your
name and address on it, when I was
looking over my lot today.”
’ Mrs. Smith took the bundle and fee
bly thanked him. When Algernon came
home, she told him. II x there were
more ways cf killing a u. than of chok
ing her with butter, and after supper he
took up the bundle and went out.
He knew of a nice dark place down
near a church where he cculd slide in
and drop that load of shoes without be
ing seen. He had taken the precaution
to tear off the address and had changed
the shape of the bundle. As he deposit
ed it in the archway of this dark corner
a heavy hand was laid on his shoulder.
“No, .ycv <" n't. No abandonment of
the little cent when you get tired
of your ov de eh and blood. Pickup
the poor thing now or I’ll club ye.”
It was the new policeman on that
beat, and he didn’t know Mr. Smith.
He listened to his explanation with a
most aggressive and unbelieving air.

“I’ve a mind to run ye in for disturb
ing the peace and resisting an officer,”
he said, but finally permitted Smith to
take his bundle and go home.
The next night a smudge came out of
the Smiths’ chimney, and the neighbors
held their noses. About midnight a
loud rapping was heard at the front
door, and a light in the basement was
hastily extinguished. Mr. Smith an
swered the summons, while Mrs. Smith
hid in the coal cellar. A patrol wagon
ftril of policemen was at the door. One
of them was on the steps.
“Are you running a glue factory here
without a license?” he demanded of
Smith.
“Then what is that infernal odor?
Your neighbors have telephoned that
you were making yourself a nuisance
aiud want you abated. ’ ’
Smith took the crowd in and told his
story—how they had put those shoes in
the garbage box and had them turned
out again and how they had tried to sell
them or give them away and finally to
lose them. Then he showed the police tQ
the basement and opened the door of the
furnace, where the shoes were being
cremated. Then he produced some bot
tles with long necks that were sent for
his birthday, and for halj; an hour he
was busy pulling corks. After some
time he released Mrs. Smith from the
coal cellar.
“Are they gone?” she gasped.
“The police?”
“No, no; the shoes.” '
“Every scrap reduced to ashes. ”
They embraced, and happiness reigned
