SELECT STORY. WINNING! THE PRIZE I1V Ci.YDK ItAYMO.NI. "I shall go to tliu country well arm ed for comiticst, tlint't certain," laugh ed Lou Harding, a rich young widow, tossing a pile ot dainty laces into the Ian of her paid companion with the injunction to "hurry bp and get those flounces inado as soon as possible." "I'vo learned that Hugh Mansfield is to spend part of tho summer there," she went on, turning again to tho friend who' had run in to discuss with hor their lilans, for the season, "and you know, b'aunic, what a magnificent catch ho is. So I wain you in time that we shall bo deadly rivals, for of courso you will try as hard as any of us to land the big iish.'' "Oh, 1 yield to the inevitable at the very outset," returned Fannio Reming ton, banteringly j "for what earthly chance will my poor beauty havo against your goldl" And thoio was just a stiflieieut shade of truth in the jesting inquiry to mako Mrs Harding wince a little, tor thero wnsno denying that her friend Fannio had, by far, the advantage in tho way of good looks. "But what will Miss Weir bo dointr in tho meantime while all tho rest of us aro quarreling over tho creat orizo V she added, turning, with ono of her chaiming smiles, to Mrs. Harding's companion. "Oh, I shall bo happy enough, never fear, said the latter, returning the smile with one equally as bricrht over her lapful of laces. "1 shall not bo burden ed with society cares and comjiiests, you know, so" when Mrs. Harding does n't ticcd me, I shall bo out gathering wild llowers and exploiinu nature's beauties. 1 dearly love tho country for itself." "JJravo!" cried Miss Hcminclon trav- ly, while Mrs. Hardiug merely arched her black brows and Bbrugged her ele gant shoulders, as if tho likes or dis likes of her paid companion were sov eral degrees beneath her notice. When "the season" was fairlv inau gurated it found the young widow and her party delightfully established in one of the quietest of tho fashionablo watering places, it there is such a tinner as a plaeo being quiet after Faahiou has once tounu it out. It is doubtful however, if Mrs. Hard- iiiK would havo choson it as the favor ed spot whereiu to display her ravish ing new toilettes had it not been for Hugh Mansfield's presence there. For beneath her light jests upon tho Bub ject was a firm, determined purpose to win the handsomo young millionaire in tho face of all possiblo rivalry. And it soon began to look as if sho had not made a voin boast. Lou Harding, if not a beauty, was quite pretty enough to turn a young man's head, and her black nyes, fine figure and coquettish airs were re.ally bewild- ring in tho array ol charming tennis suits, dainty bc-ribboned morning gowns aud exquisito ball dresses that displayed them to tho best advantage. Aim so Hugh Mausheld evidently thought. At least he paid her raanv flattering attentions, and tho pretty wniow s nean ueai nign Willi nope. "Didn't I tell you I meant to win the great prize'!" sho retorted, with a triumphant snap in her black eyes, as Fannio, in mock indignation, bantered her upon getting tho lion's Bharo of the young millionaire's attentions. "When a young widow enters tho field of conquest, you poor girls might as well give up tho strugglo first us last," she added, with a complacent laugh. "Jispooially when sho has the ducats with which to back up her other fasci nations," laughed Fannie, with a sauoy little crimace. "Well as I nuver entered tho lists against you, I can afford to let you boast a little. Anyway, Hugh Mans field isn't tho only conquest " Hut hero the young lady oheoked herself abruptly, biting her sauoy red lip, while a Biiddeu vivid color flushed her pretty cheeks. "Oh, vou may as well spare your blushes, Fan Don't you suppose wo can all bco which way "the wind is blow- ing!" teased Mrs. Harding, with a self-satisfied little laugh. "Well, I admit your taste as well as your dis cretion, for sinco yon can't havo first choico catch of tho season vou know why, Captain Carroll is certainly a splondid substitute," "I'd advise you not to 'count your chickens,' etc , Lou. Vou know" tho old pioverb," retoited Fannie, a wick ed sparkle in her pleasant brown eyes. "Now, Miss Leslie hero has never a word to say on tho subject, vet it wouldn't surprise mo at all if tho big fish were to land himself in her modest net, despito all tho rich widows and marriageable girls who aro lust dv na to capturo him." "Miss Rcmingtonl'' Thero was a thrill of indicnant sur prise in tho clear, sweet tones as Leslie Weir, with an abrupt, startled move ment, lifted her head from tho book she had been roadiug, paying littlo atten lion to tho confidential chat which had bceu going on, as usual, regardless of her presence For it sromcd to bo a cardinal point in tho rich widow's creed to treat her hired dependents as if thoy wcro mere bucks or stones. Loslio could not feel nucrv with tho charming girl, who nlways championed nor cause ho Bweelly "snoi ed her" was Mrs. Harding's version of it i but J thero wis a proudly reproachful look in tho large, deep gray eyes thst shot Biich n swift glanco toward tho speak er, and a hot wavo of crimson dyed Leslie's fair fnco to tho very roots of ho rich, tawny hair. Fannio laughed merrily in answer while Mrs. Harding shot a look at tho lovely companion from her bright eyes un luauieiii, iuuk oi mingiea annieo ment and disdain. "What an ideal You do lako up with such ridiculous notions, Fanny," sho remarked with her ever-ready shrug and short, dcrisivo laugh, that was meant to crush in tho bud any similar ('nnfintia'' fbnf ntnll ..cail.l.. Leslie's mind. Tho girl, however, did not deign to notion tho inton.lcd slur. Sho simply said, with an appealing glance that 'went straight to Fannio ij kind heart : "I trust you will lcavo my namd out ui suua uiscussions ncrcaucr, Miss Keinington. And then, in her proud, nuiet w.iv. she roso and left tho room with an air of graceful dignity that a queen might havo envied. Ton minutes later with her large whito Swiss-covered hat shading her flushed cheeks, aud her book in her hand, sho was pacing slowly up and nown mo oeacn ; uut her mind and heart were too full of excited thouchl to permit her to read, or oven to notico the lovely Bceno which tho sunset was paiuliug ou thu'still surface of the sea. Calmly as she had borne it, that subtle, baibed thrust of Mrs. Harding's had gouo straight to its mark. It had stung her to the very soul. It camo homo to her now for the first time.witl a thrill of bitter sharae.how completely Hugh Mansfield realized her perfect jdeal of manhood and how often his imago had, of late, been a part of her swi elest day dreamt. Several times in tho first two or thrto weeks following their arrival, they had met by chance onco during ono of Leslie's early morning strolls, wuen mo now was yet glistening in tho hearts of tho wild flowers she was gathci ing, and the wood was ringing wuii mo iiirius ot a thousand lluttermg silvery-thrcatcd birds. The young man's quick, firm step. as ho camo striding down the wood land path, switcliiui: tho dew oil tho grass with his light cano as he walked, startled her so that sho had let fall I lie hatful ot sweet Juno roses situ had gathered, and they lay scattered on the grass directly in his path. With a graceful apology ho stopped and assisted her in gathering up her fallen treasures ; then, when he had seen tho last velvety pink blossom safely replaced in tho wide-rinimed straw hat, he bad gone on his way with her few modest words of thanks, uttered in a voice marvelously low and sweet, liugeriug pleasantly in his cars. Leslie did not dream what a loyely picturo sho had made that niornincr in tho eyes of the young millionaire Btauding tticro in tho tender light that was still half shadow under tho leafy boughs, her soft whito gown prettily defining a littlo and graceful form, tho baro head covered with rich coils of tawny hair that waved in silky rings over a broad, whito forehead, and tho whito straw hat, with its fluttering palo-pink ribbons, filled to tho very brim with blushing, dew-wet roses. Nor did she know that ho had secret ly carried one of thoso samo roses away with him as a souvenir of his meeting with the lovely wood-nymph, as ho called her in his thoughts. Later, only a few days ago, had come a formal introduction given by Mrs. Harding, aud most reluctantly, as Leslie dearly divined by tbo cold, hard glitter in tho widow's black eyes and the slight, but ecornful emphasis with which oho uttered the explanatory words "my companion, "carefully added after Leslie's name. An amused smilo was Hugh Mans field's only recognition of the little trick, and thero was a light in his handsomo dark eyes as ho took hor hand that mado Leslie's heart uncon sciously beat quicker. After that, in a proud, graceful littlo way all her own, bhe quietly avoided him. With all her dreams and Lea. lie was something of a dreamer sho was not romantio or simple-minded enough to fancy that he, tho lionized millionaire, would think seriously of a girl in her position, and she was far too puro aud proud to permit any attentions from such as ho that might bo lightly misconstrued. And now, pacing tho shingly beaoh, sho know, .at last, that another feeling, stronger and deeper than prido alone, urged her to fly from his presence. "If I could only lcavo here," sho was saying to herself, with a kind of pass ionate rebellion agaiust her fate. "If I could only be freo from tho pain of seeing him, and and knowing that ho belongs to a different world from mine! If I need never again bear that woman's petty stings and slurs. Hut, thero 1" checkiug her wild, foverish longing with a grim littlo Binilu of recollection, "what am I sajingt I must earn my daily bread, aud Lou Harding, with all her mean littlo tyratinics, gives mu tho chance to do that.

"What a pleasure to eco you at last Miss Weir J' broke in a iheery, mas culine voice upon her excited reverie. And, turning, bIio was faco to faoo with Hugh Mansfield, who extended his hand with a frank, glad smilo that lit up his daik face most wiiiningly. "What must ono do,'' ho went on, in a tone half jesting, half Berious, "to ob tain an occasional audience of your majesty! I will do anything only tell mo. Do you know," quite earnest ly, "that you havo not allowed mo the chanco to speak ono word with you in threo whole dayst" "Indeed ! How you must havo suf fered 1" Bhe retorted, lightly, her caro less tones just tinged with irony; and Bho hastily withdrew the hand which sho had permitted to merely touch his for an iustaut. "Hut I am not in soci ety now," sho added, fearful that ho might guess the real truth, "and I havo duties which keep too quits busily oo cupied. Kveu now, bIio addod, glano ing nervously toward tho widow's cot tage, "I must bo going.

' "I must," sho retorted lightly, as sho THE COLUMBIAN, VOL. XX.NO !S0 COLUMBIA DKM0CI1AT, VOL 1, NO 80 moved uwoy. Then, glancing back indifferently, sho added, with a careless Btuilo and nod, "Good ovenlng, Mr, Mansfield." "Jove I how sho does manago to cut mo fdioit whenover I try to talk with her," muttered tho young millionaire, gazing after tho light, vanishing form, wuii a puzzled irown on Ins handsome, dark face.

With bated breath and upturned faces a large crowd stood the other day watching a man who was slowly ascending the Btecplo of an tip-town church. Ho eecmcd to go over tho delicate scaffold liko a snail. Tho crowd below wcro expecting every moment to sco him fall. When ho reached tho end of tho scaffolding and stood upon a piece of framework that looked in the distance as if it wero nbout a foot .quarc, ho leaned far over and shouted something to another workman about half-way down. Tho spectators shuddered, .but could not; take their eyes from tho littlo climbor who had loft tho scaffolding and wa still going up tho steeple. When ho reached tho top ho remained for a few minutes, examined tho steeple ou every side, and then retraced his steps. When ho got safely back to tho scaf fold ho waived his hand to tho peoplo and smiled. He went to tho lop of the steople several times in the courso of an hour, and every time a crowd gathered. "You think it hazardous !" said tho steeple-climber to a Tribune reporter when ho came down to the ground. Though he looked so small when in the air, he was considerably above tho average height, slim and wiry, all bono and muscle, with a olc steady oyo and hand and perfect confidence in himself. His eyes sparkled as if he was in love with tho work as ho con tinued : "Peoplo who aro not used to beiug at great heights, aud who feel dizzy when a few feet from tho ground, naturally look with wonder upon a man working high up in the air, and think that he must feel as they would. I probably go upon moro steeplis and other elevated places to adjust orna mental designs than any other man in the business, and I feel just as much at homo standing on a narrow board 200 feet from the ground as I would on a rock. I feel a perfect senso of safety, and never think of falling. "Hut I was not always without fear. When I first began the bueiness I al ways slatted up the scaffold with t.-embling legs and a quaking heart, and many times I havo not gone to the top, but returned with some excuso for not going up just then. An old man who had been a.climbcr in his day saw me on ono of these occasions when my heart whs weak, and gave me a bit of advice that cured my faint-heartedness in time. Ho said when starting up, always to fix your mind intently on tho work you are going to do, and keep every thought of fear, or that some thing is going to happen, out of your mind. This was just tho thing, and I have found from experience that it is thinking about fear that makes a man afraid, and over-caution liaB given many a poer fellow a tumble where boldness and seeraiutr recklessness would havo carried him through all right. Thero are only a few expert climbers. Hundreds quit tho business in a short timo because thev cannot overcomo their neryous dread, I havo seen stout-hearted fellows, who would march up to a cannon's mouth without a quiver, when thev crot to tho iiIbp.o whero tho scaffolding ends, and from which point they would have to 'shin' to tho top, try to step up, but a ton of lead had been hooked to their foot and it would not go up an inch. "I have known men who, when they got into a ticklish spot, would havo black specks coroo before their eves. which would movo up and down and in a circle, and they would fall down and hug a plank liko a long-lost broth er. Their heads would seem to be in a whirl. This is whero a man gets 'rattled,' and it requires the greatest oxerciso of tho will to overcome the feeling. I have felt this way many times, aud even now I sometimes havo a svddcn desire when on the pinuaclo of a Btecplo to jump off, but I al ways laugh at tho idea, and it goes awav as quickly as it comes. A man who drinks stimulants is out of place on a steeple whero a false step will send him neaniong a hundred leet or moro be low. So, also, as a fat man. for a climber must bo light, agile and muscu lar, uark-naired men with swiirihv faces UBUilly make the best climbers." "Does it prevent dizziness when ro- ing to a great height to keep tho eyes turned upward V "This is a popular notion, but thero is nothing in it except that the atten tion is turned from tho idea of falling, and this will keep a man from tiimbl ing. Hut the place for tho eyes is upon tho road to bo traveled to boo that everything is in positiou. A high wind sometimes renders scaffolding unsafe.aud if a man has his cvo on tho sky lie would never sco it. "Did you ever fall !" "I've had many narrow escapes, but only ono good fall. This was about seventy feet. I had a sick child homo and was thinking about hor and was absent-minded. 1 started off sideways bo tweeu the scaffold and steople, and in two or thrco seconds I was at the bot tom. 1 thought I would bo killed and in a second my wholo life flashed through my mind, and also tho future of my family, and how they would all look after tho children were full-grown. I know that I was bumping against the timbers of tho scaffold, but thero was no pain and I was overcomo bv a Bootking intluenco and never had a moro pleasant lournoy m ray life. It seemed as if I had been falling for bouts. I knew when I struck tho bot tom and felt a shock nt tho sudden stop, but it was uot disagreeable. I had enough pain afterward, though, and it took about six months to patch up my body. Hoth arms and ono leg wcro broken. I mado up my mind to give up the business when I got well, but in a little while tho old fascination camo back and I went to climbing again."
