Thoy both worked In the clouds, she
in tho top tloor of a great factory
luilMing, 1h amid the Iron framework
nf a hup? skyscraper.
lie did not know of her existence,
but slip felt quite trnre that she should
recognize h!m if ever they met in the
street, whose noisy, busy life swept on
fur below their feet. She could always
sinu'le him out among the mechanics
working there In midair. Xo other
workman trod the Iron beams with
such assured poise or squared his shoul
ders just as he did to the day's work,
lie did everything with an air of abso
lute confidence which thrilled and mas
tered her.
He was too far away for her to scru
tinize his features, but she was quite
sure that he had honesff clear blue eyes
and brown curly hair, and his eyes
could twinkle merrily. This she knew
by the Jovial way in which he signaled
his fellow workmen.
Not that she had much time to study
his mannerisms, for Ellen Mulvihlll
was a designer in the factory of John
son & Co., makers of ladies' shirt waists
and neckwear, and a very busy wo
man. Perhaps It was well for the firm,
however, that while she designed
stocks and fancy boas she wove In tho
thread of her romance, for this strange
ly one sided love affair seemed to beau
tify the whole world for her, and
while her heart sang her fingers work
ed deftly, and the firm reaped the
profit.
If she had not been so absorbed Just
at this Juncture she might have noticed
that she was rising In the favor of her
employers, but she was quite amazed
one d;iy when they voluntarily raised
her salary. Quite naturally they did
not offer the explanation that they
feared their competitors and gave the
Increase as a precautionary measure.
Ellen accepted It us a part of the rose
color which had suddenly enveloped
her entire life scheme. The extra sal
ary had come just in time, she argued,
for Trixie, the idol of her heart, or,
rather, the one person who divided
heart space with the hero of her mid
air dreams, had been wanting to go to
dancing svhool these two months to a
wonderful hall where children all In
white frocks and velvet Fauntleroy
suits tripped to fairy music.
Ellen lived with her married brother,
and knowing ones would say that she
paid a high price for the privilege.
Mulvihili's wife was something of a
shrew, while Ellen was of more gentle
birth and breeding. The sister-in-law
loved neighborhood gossip and was not
above a quarrel with the other dwellers
In the Hat house. Ellen enjoyed her
books, tho hall bedroom, furnished and
decorated with the dainty simplicity
which marked her designs nt the fac
tory, and the championship of Trixie.
Tho girls at the factory were kind to
her, too, and then there was the quiet,
shadowy church midway 'twlxt home
and work where she stopped each day
to say Innumerable "all hails" to the
ltlcsscd Mother, who must have inter
ceded to secure for her so much happi
ness. It was about n month after the mem
orable advance In salary that an omi
nous silence fell upon the Mulvihlll
supper table. Ellen knew Instinctively
that some domestic problem was com
ing up for discussion.
At last John Mulvihlll pushed back
his empty teacup and lighted his pipe.
"Ellen, the Shamrock association are
after givln their annual ball a week
this Tuesday night, an' the wife an'
mesi If think you'd best 1 goin' along"
Ellen raised startled eyes to her
brother's face.
"I'm no dancer, as you well know,
John, an' crowds like that give me the
headache. I'd rather stop at home with
Trixie."
John Mulvihili's face darkened.
"You're always stoppln' at home with
the child, an' it is time you went out
an' met the boys an' had steady com
pany. You're the first Mulvihlll girl
that ever passed twenty-five without
bavin' her offers to marry. You'll nev
er marry If you stay cooped up here
night after night au' not even visitln'
our friends of a Sunday afternoon."
Going to the Shamrock association's
ball In search of a husband! Ellen's
face flamed, then turned pale. But,
then, they did not know about him.
The very thought seemed like treason
to the strong, erect figure which never
passed out of his mental vision.
"It's well enough off I am, John,
without a husband, an' I sec no reason
why you an' Mary should want to mar
ry me off. I'm thinkin' Trixie would
miss her old auntie sorely." And she
drew the child close as if to ward off
with her Innocent childhood some Im
pending disaster.
Mrs. Mnlvihill blazed forth on the ln
Itant. "Yes, an' that's what the nelghlwrs
rre all sayln' that I use you as nurse
flrl for the child an' dance an' go to
the theater with John an' my child
would suffer if It wasn't for you. They
talk like you was a sort of Cinderella,
nn' It's tired I am of their long tongues.
Ild I ever ask you to spend money on
Trixie when you needed It for your
own clothes? Hid I ever ask you to
stay home with the child? It's an un
grateful lot. that's what you are, to
bring me in disrepute with me neigh
bors just because you're that uppish
our friends ain't good enough for you!"
And that v:is how Ellen happened
to go to the ball of the Shamrock asso
ciation. She gave her slster-ill-la w
earte blanche In the matter of a new
dress, and that personage, restored to

good humor, reveled In the purchase
and making of a real white satin frock.
T.ut the day of the ball Ellen could
hardly keep her mind on hei work. Her
glance would wander toward the sky
scraper where he was working. She
felt that he was whistling, his move
ments were so brisk. And John was
trying, with the best Intentions, to
marry her off solely to maintain the
honor of the Mulvihlll family. She
hn J thought of a day when she should
marry, when the skyscraper was done
perhaps and he become a contractor.
She would not wear those nasty high
stocks which she designed for other
women, but dresses turned In at the
neck and edged with soft lace, and he
would tell her that she had the throat
of a Illy. Young husbands In novels
always said that.
At night John led her the length of
the hall with pride stamped on his face
and his walk. Men were introduced to
her and asked her to dance, but she be
came possessed of a strange terror and
slipped back among the wallflowers.
Mrs. Mulvihlll watched her with rising
anger. What was the use of worrying
over n real satin dress for a stupid girl
like Ellen?
Ellen was thinking of Trixie and
how late they would reach home and
how loud the music was when she
heard a hearty voice at her e'bow:
"Sure, I'd be glad to meet the sister
of John Mulvihlll, an' It's odd I never
knew you had one."
She swung nround. and suddenly the
lights In the room leaped Into bewilder
ing flames, the dancers mingled
strangely as In a broken kaleidoscope.
In the confusion one fact stood forth
clearly. There was just one man in
the world who could stand like that,
one man who had such a pair of shoul
ders, and he was the man who wrought
every day In the skeleton of the sky
scraper. She heard her brother say It was
Donuis Gallagher, president of the
Shamrock association. That was
quite real to her. Of course he would
1k the president. Then John drifted
away, and Gallagher sat beside her.
It was quite awhile before she glanced
up Into his face. She was trying to
realize the beautiful truth--that they
were no longer parted In midair, but
sitting side by side in a noisy, heated
ballroom. She was glad It was noisy;
otherwise he might bear her heart
beating.
When she looked into his eyes she
started, and the color came and went
prettily In her cheeks. Dennis Galla
gher smiled, lie bad seen girls look like
this before. IUit Ellen was utterly in
genuous in spite of her twenty-live
birthdays. He did not speak, and final
ly she said almost breathlessly:
"I thought they would I blue, an
they are brown no, hazel."
So of course It came out. She didn't
mean be should know all. and he didn't
know all just enough to make him lin
ger through two dances and set John
Mulvihili's heart swelling with pride.
A month later Ellen dropped into the
quiet, shadowy church on her way to
work. There went so many "all hails"
to say this morning, and the church
was quite empty, so with clasped hands
and eyes full of happy tears she looked
into the benign face of the Woman of
Many Sorrows and murmured:
"Blessed Mother, do I deserve so much
happiness? Am I good enough for
him? He Is eomin' every Wednesday
an' Sunday night to see me, an' by
an' by It will be every night. He said
so. Every day an' every night we will
be together so long as we live. You
who have suffered much, teach me to
be strong an' brave for him."
And all that day a man working far
above the din of the mighty city looked
across the gap to the great factory
building where he knew she bent over
her work. Ills heart sang within him.
and his blows fell full and clear, for a
wonderful light and happiness had
come Into his life.
Manic Until Charm.
Ignaz rieyel, a musician held in high
repute In his day and a Viennese by
birth, was appointed kaicllmcl8ter at
Strassburg in 1783. During the trou
bled times of the French revolution he
lost his post, and his life was in grave
danger.
He escaped death and satisfied his n
cuser that he was not an aristocrat !y
writing music to some most revolution
ary stanzas, which were placed before
1dm for the purpose, while beside stood
two gendarmes with fixed bayonets.
Another Instance, proving that "mu
sic hath charms to soothe the savage
breast," Is that of Alessandro Stradel
la, an Italian composer of the seven
teenth century, who carried off a hidy
named Ortensla from the home of a no
bleman of high rank. Two assassins
who were hired to kill hhu followed
them to onie. Entering a church
where nn oratorio of his was being per
formed, they were so moved by the mu
sic that they warned .Micella of his
danger and allowed lilin to t-scape.
Modern Athletic Training.
The trainer of a generation ago
would simply have stood aghast at the
sweets and other savory food stliff.s
eaten by your modern rowing or run
ning collegians. Yet It may be doubted
if the physique either of the Individual
athlete or of the nation ever stood at
a higher general standard of "fitness."
One pertinent fact with regard to train
ing Is that both past tradition and pres
ent practice condemn with emphatic
voice the use of tobacco and alcohol
and other Indulgences to which healthy
man wonderful animal that he Is is
unhappily prone. So long as the main
principles of temperance, plain living
and abundant exercise are carefully ap
plied to the man In training so long
will the results be likely to succeed.
Every human being living under rea
sonably good conditions of environ
ment ought to be, like the healthy
schoolboy, always In a state of "train-Ing."-Medical

REPUBLICANFLAG IIP
Stat Committee Hfftdatten
Opened For the Campaign. '
WANT THE VOTERS TO QUALIFY
Citizens Who Pay Taxes This Year
Will Be Qualified to Vote at Next
Year's Presidential Election.
Special Correspondence.
Fhiladelphla. Sept. 8. With the
opening of the headquarters of the
Republican state committee in this
city yesterday, the campaign for the
election of the nominees on the state
ticket will be prosecuted with renew
ed activity.
Much preliminary work had al
ready been done through the corre
spondence conducted by Secretary
Wesley R. Andrews from Meadvllle,
where he was engaged most of the
(umroer keeping In touch with the
chairmen ot the county committees
and others who take an Interest In the
affairs of the Republican organtia
tion Senator Penrose, chairman ot the
state committee. Is now on his way
homo from British Columbia, where
he spent his vacaation, and until be
reaches here Secretary Andrews will
be the acting chairman. An efficient
corps of assistants have been put to
work and every department at tho
headquarters has already been organ
ized and gotten under way.
PREPARE FOR NEXT YEAR.
It Is not anticipated that there will
be much of a demand for meetings be
fore October, but the voters of the
state will be enlightened in other
ways as to the Issues of the campaign
and the Importance of there being a
large Republican vote polled at the
coming election. The committeemen
throughout tho stato were Industrious
In their efforts to get the Republicans
Of their respective precincts register
ed before the last day for registration
expired, and they are now engaged In
canvassing to inquire as to the voters
who have not qualified themselves to
vote at the November election by the
payment of taxes.
In thi3 state, in order for a cltlzo
to be qualified to vote he must have
paid a state or county tax within two
years. Secretary Andrews states that
unusual efforts will be taken this year
to get tho committeemen to see to It
that the Republican voters are all
qualified. Taxes paid this year will
qualify voters for the presidential elec
tion, so that any work done now by
the committeemen In this direction
will be effective for the campaign for
tho election of Roosevelt next year.
Reports so far received from county
chairmen are of the most encouraging
character, and they lead the state
managers to look for very satisfactory
returns on election night.
MANY DEMOCRATS DISGUSTED.
From every quarter of the common
wealth come reports that conservative
and substantial members of the
Democracy are disgusted with the ex
hibition given by their party at the
state convention held at Harrlsburg
last week. They had hoped to have
the Democracy of Pennsylvania take
its natural place in the cause of
sound money and offset the radical
Bryanlte declarations of the Demo
cratic convention held In Ohio a few
days before, where there was an un
qualified endorsement of the Kansas
City platform. The Pennsylvania
Democratic leaders, however, refused
to listen to the advice of men of
prominence, and Influence In profes
sional and business life, who declined
to follow the free silver and anarchis
tic policies of Bryan. They declined to
come out boldly for a new deal in their
national organization and an absolute
repudiation of Bryanlsm In every form.
Guffey Is loo close to the Bryan ring
In the Democratic national committee
to permit anything of that sort, so
that all suggestions for the turning
down of Bryanlsm were brushed aside.
The result Is that thousands of the
best element among the Pennsylvania
Democrats will refuse to support the
ticket nominated last week at Harrls
burg and will either not vote at all or
will make their protest most effective
by voting the entire Republican
ticket.
The Democracy of Pennsylvania
seems to be going from bad to worse.
Republican county leaders say that
if the feeling of disgust among the
round money Democrats now mani
fested everywhere continues until elec
tion day, the Republican candidates
on both state and county tickets will
be tha gainers by many thousands of
votes
Sound money Democrats appreciate
that while Guffey failed to size up to
the situation and put the party in this
state on record against a reiteration of
the free silver plank at the next na
tional convention, they can enter an
emphatic protest against this omis
sion bV supporting the Republican
nominees on the state ticket who
stand upon a platform for sound
money and protection to Americas In
dustries The Republican stat convention,
recognizing this canvass as prelim
inary to the national campaign of text
year, went squarely on record on the
rational Issues which should natural?
be made prominent at this timo.
As the date for the holding of the
convention of the State League of Re
publican Clubs at Wilkesbarre draws
near club members through the state
are manifest Ir.g more Ir.terest In this
event. The convention will assemble
on Tuesday, the 22d Inst., and many
Republicans of prominence have
