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

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-

self-satisfied little laugh. "Well, I
admit your taste as well as your dis

why, Captain Carroll is certainly a
splondid substitute,"

"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

thero wis a proudly reproachful look
in tho large, deep gray eyes thst shot
Biich n swift glanco toward tho speak

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

"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

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"

And, turning, bIio was faco to faoo

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

Bho hastily withdrew the hand which
sho had permitted to merely touch his

might guess the real truth, "and I havo

indifferently, sho added, with a careless
Btuilo and nod, "Good ovenlng, Mr,

"Jove I how sho does manago to cut

HOW ONI! MAY !KT ACCUSTOMED TO TUB
DANOKlt. V1BWS OF A YVOIIKMAN.
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."
