He grasped the knob and turned It.
Instantly the office was flooded with

Since Charles M. Schwab fell fiwra
grace and became a semi-professional
after-dinner speaker, he has been re­
tailing across banquet tables an In­
cident which he claims figured In a
personal experience. S till, It Is well
to view w ith suspicion the alleged
reminiscence»
of any
after-dinner
speaker.
It may he that the thing
didn't happen to him at all. Perhaps
he only heard It somewhere.
Be that as It may. M r. Schwab
states that during one of his trips to
Europe he met a gentleman whose
breast was almost entirely covered
with decorations bestowed by various
Continental governments.
“T e ll me. sir,” said M r. Schwab,
"the story of the heniisrpg or the
achievements, as the case may be, for
which you were awarded thia extraor­
dinary number of honors?”
" I shall be perfectly frank with
you." stated the other man.
"Thia
large medal here— the one containing
.he pigeon blood ruby in the fringe of
amethyst»— was the first to be be-
stowed upon me
I received ail the
others as , result of having received
that one.”
