AN OLD SHOE Freddie had just received a spanking. He could see no reason for this, unless the bits of jam on his mouth had betrayed him. The in¬ strument with which his mother had performed this sad deed was a dilapidated shoe which she had found in her grandmother’s trunk. To explain matters, her grandmother has just died, and left her the trunk and a few personal be¬ longings. In it was the shoe which she had un¬ earthed as she knelt beside. Then Freddie had appeared and the consequences were two or three hard licks from the shoe. The poor boy felt very bitter against the shoe and after his mother had gone, he resolved to burn it. He heard his mother coming back so he hid in the closet to wait until he had another chance. As it was late in the afternoon and he hadn’t had a nap, he fell asleep. While in that condition he dreamed a very strange dream. It seemed as if he were in the Fand of Shoes” and a great big shoe exactly like the one he held in his hand was chasing him. The shoe was a small dancing slipper of satin, and leather soles half worn out. He flew in a house right into the arms of a grandfather shoe. He was a very kindly old sh oe and hid the boy when the dancing slipper came into the house to search for him. The shoe gave him something to eat while he proceeded to tell him about the slipper. My boy,” he said, you mustn’t abuse old shoes, for you can never tell where they come from. Now this one started from a silk cocoon in China. It was taken and put in hot water to unravel the silk, after which the fiber was taken to a manufacturing plant to be woven into satin cloth. It was then sent to a shoe factory where it met up with a piece of leather from an Alaskan seal. They were sewed to¬ gether to form a shoe which had a mate exactly like it. They sent the pair to a shop in Paris where a beautiful young lady, your grand¬ mother, purchased them to wear at her wed¬ ding when she returned to America. The shoe and its mate were worn on the prettiest pair of feet in their time, an honor which was well suited to a pair like them. Your grandmother prized these shoes greatly and would not like to have them mistreated; in fact, she liked them so well that she confided to them many of her joys, prides, and sorrows. The shoes, to her, showed much sympathy or joy at every occurrence of her life and it has this prejudice for you only because you wished to destroy it. And so you should not mistreat old shoes because they are true relics of the past.” Oh, thank you, Mr. Shoe,” cried Freddie, I’ll always be good to shoes now.” And at this point Freddie awoke and heard his mother calling him. He took up the shoe and ran to put it back in the trunk. He never forgot the story in his dream and even though it isn’t true it proves that shoes can have senti¬ ment about them as well as wedding dresses and such things. Jane Mawyer. Original Story.
