C, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1935. DAILY SHORT STORY A BIOG RAPHY By Frapk K:rn Lev;n. MH. SHODDY had a long face and a little mustache. Hisgray eyes were always alert, even when he sat in his easy chair, not more than half awake, in his home across the Potomac. In his youth Mr. Shoddy had learned that eyes which were alert were an important factor in good salesmanship. Now at 43, his pink, wrinkled face mak- ing him look even older than he was, that alert look in his eyes had be- come second na- ture. Like his bald spot, it was al- ways with him. Mrs, Shoddy was a gentle little| woman interested in books and music. When she had married Mr. Shoddy | 17 years before, he, too, was inter- ested in such things. In those days| Mrs. Shoddy was slim rather than | round, and a very pretty little thing. In those days, too, Mr. Shoddy was a very ambitious young man. That| alert, see-everything look had just He had just ob- tained a position with the Brush- Quick Tooth Paste Co. Mr. Shoddy was a hard-working, ambitious fellow. In less than three | Eyes which Quick had told him he had a future in the tooth paste business.

He told me I had a real future in the tooth paste business! Sarah, I'm going to be a sucess. Some day I'm | going to be able to give you everything you want. Cars, a home, servants! We'll travel, too—well go everywhers. You'll be mighty proud of me, Sarah.” Shoddy smiled and took a deep breath of the evening air. “I am proud of you now, Dan,” Shoddy said, and she added, “Look | at that gorgeous moon as it climbs | up the sky!” “It reminds me of poetry. ‘With how sad steps, O Moon, thou climbst the skies.'™ Mr. Shoddy quoted and took another ceep breath of the cool, delightful air. They walked along the river and the moon was high now for them to| They saw some children playing with a puppy. | Walking past a hedge. they suddenly came upon a young man they confused a great deal as he was just about to Mrs. | | kiss a girl, * x ® % | VIR SHODDY felt very good, very good.

Mr. Shoddy would take his job home with him. He would study pamphlets, adver- tisements, promo- tional campaigns ' and statistics as he concentrated on in- creasing his value to the concern. Slowly Mr. Shod- dy dropped away from such things as music and books. He didn't have time for them. Every once in a while| Mrs. Shoddy would suggest he read some book she had found very interesting. “Yes, I'll have to read it. Certainly sounds like an excellent story. Just as soon as I get a little time, my dear, I'll read it.” But Mr. Shoddy never seemed to have any time for anything but busi- ness. In fact, he never took more than two weeks out of the year for u‘l vacation, and then never both weeks | at the same time. He would take one in the latter part of the Winter when | things were a bit slack and the other | in the middle of the Summer when things were also a bit slack. He and Mrs, Shoddy always went to | the same little cottage in a lakeside | resort at those times. Mrs. Shoddy were alert, parlor and read. Mr. Shoddy would | take his portfollo, filled with promo- tional schemes, along with him. * ¥ ¥ X ND so Mr. Shoddy was now 43| years old. Mr. Shoddy was now | district sales manager. Mr. Shoddy | had made good in the tooth paste busi- | ness. Mr. Shoddy was dozing \nm that alert look in his eyes. “Just this once, Dan,” round little | Mrs. Shoddy pieaded, “let's go to & | movie. Ihave een out of the house all day. And you have been working so hard lately, It will do us both good.” Mr. Shoddy looked at his wife. He was feeling a little bit more tired than usual this evening. “All right, my dear, we'll go,” said, to his wife's surprise. “Let's stop in the drug store here a | moment,” Mrs. Shoddy said after they | had left the theater. “I want to get something.” | Mr. Shoddy glanced about as his wife was making her purchase. The very efficient looking, was standing behind the drug counter. | Without realizing it, Mr. Shoddy had come to stand before him. There was that pleasant professional smile on he | | his face, that alert look in his eyes. “How paste today? “What¥ that—2" began | “Come on, Dan, Im ready to go.” | Mrs. Shoddy called from the front o{i | is vour Brush-Quick tooth | Mr. Shoddy asked | the manager the store. Mr. Shoddy straightened up. He| had forgotten he had come in with his wife to make a purchase; he had | tried to sell Brush-Quick. Couldn't he ever get away from—couldn’t he? . And suddenly the alert look went from | Mr. Shoddy’s eyes and instead there | was one of fright and bewilderment. (Covyright. 1935.)
