    A REALIZED AMBITION.
ByThcodosla Plkii&g.
NANCY bad gathered the family
about her under the portrait of
iter grandfather ,the governor, had abut
Lord Batemaa In the hall closet, where
hia barks, that usually adorned any
exciting conversation, were unheard,
and for more than an hour had been
holding forth finely, with a decided
curve in her red lips.
"There's no use In your saying any
thing more about it I've mode up nay
mind, and all the talking in the world
won't make me take it to pieces again,"
she said. -"I'm tired to death of do
log nothing but frivol and dawdle, and
to-morrow I'm going to find a situation
and go to work."
Martha groaned. She was Jfancy'e
sister, and a winter spent in the breezy
and hilarious occupation of chaperon
ing Nancy and keepingthe two-year-old
twins in the paths of law and order
had drawn, several lines about' the cor
ners of her mouth. "There's one satis
faction, at any rate," she said. "Having
had charge of you since you wore pina
fores and had long braids, I am pre
pared for any caprice, even such an ab
surd one as this, and I know you will
tire of It in a week. May I inquire what
you Intend to do?"
"This is not a caprice," said Nancy,
"and I intend to do why, as everyone
dors at first, of course. What are you
laughing nt. Bob? The next time I
select ft brother-in-law I shall use a
little more discrimination. Why don't
you help me along a trifle? What did
you do when you went to work the very
first time?"
"I swept out the offices," said her
brother-in-law, "and "
"And what?" said Nancy.
"And cleaned the cuspidors, my dear,"
said Hob.
"Oh, nonsense!" said Nancy, in deep
disgust. "You know very well what I
mean. I took a complete course of
bookkeeping when I was at school, and
you said yourself. Bob, a dozen times,
that I was very good at It."
Martha rose hurriedly as a faint wail
from the nursery struck her ear. "I
don't know what the Van Couvera and
the Delormes will think, I am sure,"
she said dismally, as she paused a mo
ment by the door, "and your first win
ter out. too, Nancy! I daresay they will
imagine that Bob and I starve you.
If there was any earthly necessity for it
I shouldn't mind so much, but if ever
a girl bad everything she wanted "
Nancy came to where her sister stood,
and put both her arms about her plump
shoulders.
"Be a dear old girl, and don't scold,"
she pleaded, "and let me have my way
just this once, and you may call it
caprice, or starvation, or anything you
please."
"There's another name I might give
it that begins with "F," said Martha,
severely; but she gave the pretty sin
ner a motherly kiss, and vanished,
witb a worried little smile on her face.
Nancy followed her brother-in-law to
the hall and handed him his hat and
gloves, meekly.,
"You haven't said as much as you
might. Bob, one way or the other," she
said. "Am-1 to have the supreme bliss
of believing that you approve?"
Bob laughed and drew oa his gloves.
"Nanry," he said, "during the last three
months I have noticed with deep con
cern, the rise, and fall of your interest
in that 'cunning little sewing-school Id
Hirer street in your 'beloved Ibsen
class,' and incidentally in Jerry Don
nisan, the only one of the three, by the
way, that I regret."
"Here's your hat," said Nancy, abrupt
ly. "Ahem! yes, of course. Good-morning,
my dear," said Bob.
Nancy let Lord Bateman out of the
closet, from whence he emerged with
an expression at once injured and digni
fied. Then she went back to the library
and took up the daily paper with an air
of resolution; but Bob's last words
seemed to dance before her in its print,
and a face came suddenly between her
and the "Help Wanted Female" col
umn a homely, good-natured face,
with a vigorous chin, honest eyes, and
a little tilt in the corner of the mouth.
Nancy put down the paper and picked
up Lord Bateman.
In this very room, two months be
fore, she had broken her engagement
with Jerry Dennison. It had been a
tiny engagement, to be sure, only three
months old, and, not being seasoned by
tiro, hardly staunch enough to bear
the weight of angry words heaped upon
ft by two hnt-liraded young people,
whose hearts belied the words their
lips uttered. "I (hall danee with whom
I please, and as many ns I please,"
Nancy bad said, with her blue eyes
ablaze, and her pretty head In the air;
"and I shall never marry a man who
tvotiM make my life miserable by his
jcalomies nml suspicions!" And Jerry
had h''M li is bead very high, and said:
As you please, of course," and had
left lnr. with a very white face, and
a look in his eyes his erstwhile sweet
heart had never wen there before; and
Nancy had locked thedoornnd pone up
stair?, and taken his picture in its sil
ver frame from her dressing-case, nnd
cried hprheart out nil night long, nnd in
the norning had come down with nn
expressionless ooimtenanee, nnd only
a minute dash of powder on her r.ose
to show that anything unusual had hap
pened, and broken tho news to her
family as calmly ns though she were
discussing nn affair nt the. Antipodes;
and though Bob bad looked puzzled,
and Martha had went, nnd the twins, al
ways ready to do their part, and1 scent
ing a possible loss of bon-bons In the
calamity they faintly understood,
wailed bitterly, Nancy hod laughed air
ily, and had gone that evening to n
dnivre In her prettiest gown, and flirted
,
'sqsr ittmfyrar'f wwlrfffcy ?wsirifrmw ym t
and daaeed so desperately that Martha
had brought hsr home in disgrace.
Then came the feverish ' round of
Ibaen, philanthropy and gayety; and
now had come this new desire for
"something to do," though Nancy had
done everything but the right thing,
and wouldn't hare done that to save
her proud young soul, for Jerry bad
made no sign; and though Nancy had
danced with whom she pleased, and as
tnany times as she pleased, and the vic
tims of her bow and spear bad been
many, still time hod dragged heavily
somehow, and so through the thorny
paths of unrest she had reached ber
new resolution.' and now held it with
a grasp that had In It aomething of
desperation.
Lord Bateman, growing Impatient,
shook the paper in his tiny teeth, and
Nancy went back to her "Help" col
umn. "As for fretting for Jerry Deonlson,"
she said, "that's perfect nonsensel I
shall never get overcongratulating my
self on my escape from the horrid,
tyrannical husband he would have
made. Fretting. Indeed!" Nancy lifted
up her voice and laughed; but Lord
I.atenrnn, on her lap, wriggled uneas
ily; for something warm and wet
dropped down on his ear, and he dis
approved of It.
At two o'clock Nancy, booted and
gloved, extricated Martha from the
clutches of the twins, and bade ber a
brisk and business-like farewell.
"Behold my situation!" she said, with
a flourish of divers clippings. "There
are some gorgeous ones here! Listen:
Wanted intelligent young women.'
iThey evidently had me in mind, Mar
tha.) 'Must have good education and
business ability. Apply 57 Broad
street.' That sounds bookkceperish.
doesn't it? And here's another; 'Want
edyoung woman under 30, for office
work;' and"
"You needn't read me any more, I
won't listen to them," said Martha.
"It's not proper, Nancy, for you to go
poking about those strange offices, and
talking to men you never set eyea on
before, and I don't know what Bob la
thinking of to simply laugh, as he does.
Instead of forbidding it. You are rank
ing me miserable with this whim, and
I beg of you to give it up."
Nancy considered a moment, with
her dork eyebrows close together.
"I don't see why you ore so anxious
about It," she said. "If you are going
to fret so when the twins get old
enough to earn their daily bread In
stead of devouring It from morning to
night, you'll turn them into a perfect
pair of 'hoboes.' However, I'll compro
mise. This Is Friday. If I haven't a
situation by Saturday evening. 1 will
give up the whole thing, and dance and
prance and be useless all the rest of
my life. Will that satisfy you?"
"It will have to. I suppose," said Mar
tha; and Nancy kissed her and de
parted. She came In as the family were sit
ting down to dinner, and accepted with
composure Bob's gift of a huge button
with "I want a situation" printed
across It.
"Thank you." she said. 'Til pin, it
on my jacket when I go out to-morrow,
and surrender gracefully to the high
est bidder."
"Then' you haven't succeeded to
day?" said Martha. "I'm delighted to
hear It. What did all those beautiful
'Ads.' turn out to be?"
Nancy looked nt her demurely, with
a little smile tucked in the corner of
her mouth. "Book agents, all four of
them." she said. "I foresee that I shall
be driven Into the trade ot last. Pre
pare yourself, Bob! If I ever Co turn
my intellect In that direction. I shall
come to your office every morning and
sell you 'The Life of Lincoln.' or 'The
War of 1S12,' or some other of those ex
citing works I saw this afternoon, for
practice."
"Thank goodness, there is only one
more day of it," said Martha. "You
didn't meet anyone you knew, I hope."
.ot one," said Nancy. "Every ac
quaintance I possess must have a soul
above Twenty-third street. There
wasn't a familiar thing downtown.
But I like it, I really do. You needn't
laugh, Hob. Tin going to start early to
morrow." The next day it rained drearily.
Nancy spent the morning in a shower
of newspapers, nnd in the afternoon
donned hor mackintosh nnd goloshes,
nnd went forth bravelv, with de
termination in her heart. This day
she would find something to do or per
ish in the attempt! Ilcr life shouldn't
be made miserable by Bob's ridicule
nnd Martha's "I told you so's." If
there was nn office in the entire city
that wanted a bookkeeper and wanted
her immediately, she would attach her
self to it like a barnacle.
But alas! Nancy was wnnted for I
everything that day but what she
v.-anted. Suave, nmst.ao.hed gentlemen,
admiration in their eyes nnd business i
on their lips, offered her volumes the j
percentage upon whose prospective
Kales would have filled n Rothschild
with glee. She was wanted to polish
j"ve!ry; to make paper (lowers; to be
the high priestess of a typewriter; to
i ell tickets for a series cf madly ex
citing lectures on the Holy Land.
Nancy enjoyed herself immensely for
an hour or so, with much the same feel- !
h:g that n runaway craft might have i
tliat was navigating unknown waters; j
but then affairs lx'fjnn to assume a less
hilarious nspeet. A stinging rain came I
driving from the east i:i little whips, L
the dampness encircled her like n fog, !
nnd Xnucy thivorrd under her mackin- I
tosh an Flip tiptoed her way across the
muddy street.
"Martha was right," he thought; "I
liitv TTiailenn Idiot of myself over this;
and the best thinglcan do Is to go home
nnd iellherso. There isn'tany occupa
tion on earth I nm wanted for, Itwems,
besides peddling things. No! I'll go
home and tell the truth, and let Bob
Jr.kc mentont the poor working girl its
much ssi he p!eases." '
Natjry tamed towards the corner, bnl
topped suddenly la the very alMto ef
a puddle. "There is only one plaee left
oo my list,' she thought, "and 1 night
as well look at that, and de the whole
thing op thoroughly and forever, tt b
about here somewhere, and there's one
cbanee la a hundred that they want a
woman to do something elee besides
scrub."
A huge building loomed up before her
through the mist, and the number above
the door seemed to beckon her like a
finger.
The elevator boy made generous room
for the dripping umbrella, and surveyed
the bedraggled young woman somewhat
curiously. ,
"Bobbins & Smith." he said, "sixth
floor. Here you are, to the left, 240."
"Thank you." said Nancy. She turned
down the long hall with a tired little
sigh. "If I look half as miserable as I
feel," she thought, grimly, "they'll take
me In and give me a situation out of
pure charity. I believe, if Martha could
see me now, she would expire cheer
fully." The door was ajar, and'Nancy pushed
it open and crossed the threshold. The
office was empty, with the exception of
one tall figure, in a gray tweed suit, who
stood at the window, looking out at
the driving rain.
"Is this Bobbins & Smith?" asked
Nancy, timidly.
The man turned suddenly at the
sound of her voice, aad made a hasty
tep towards hex.
"Nancy! Nancy! Great Heavens!
You?" sold Jerry Oennison.
The room seemed to whirl about
Nancy's head like the merry -go-round,
and ber wet umbrella dropped to the
floor. If ever confusion and amaze
ment reigned In a damsel's heart, It
did In hers. Oh, to be able to tly, to
ink through the floor, to disappear In
any fashion outof sight of that puzzled.
u seer tain face!
"Nancy," said he, "what doe this
mean? Is there anything the matter?
Anything I can do?"
Nancy lifted her bead, a touch of ber
audacity came back.
"Yes, you can," she said. "Since I
have stumbled in upon you. In this ab
surd way, perhaps you will be' kind
enough to direct me to Robbine &
Smith's office."
"It is two doors beyond, 1 beHeve,"
said Dennison, slowly. "We have only
been here since Monday ourselves. It
is Saturday afternoon, you know, and 1
hardly thlak you will be able to find
them In. Of course 1 have no right to
Inquire, but may I venture to ask what
jou want with Bobbins & Smith?"
Nancy turned towards the door. "No.
you haven't any right," she said, "but i
don't mind telling you. Fm looking for
a situation."
"A situation?" aald Dennleon. "You
a situation? la anything wrong at
home? Bob Martha?"
,"No," said Nancy. "It's Just because
I 'wanted to just juet for a change,
you know."
She put ber hand on the door and
turned away. "Good afternoon," she
said.
"You have forgotten your umbrella."
said Dennison.
He picked the dripping thing from
the floor and presented it formally, but
as Nancy took it his hand fell suddenly
on hers.
"Nancy." said Jerry, with his dark
eyes fastened on her face, "people who
have everything they wish, people who
are thoroughly satisfied, rawly look for
anything unusual ' to occupy their
minds. It is the people who are un
happy, who have something to forget,
who do that. Answer me are von
quite happy, Nancy?"
roor Nancy! The defiant words she
tried to force upon her lips refused to
bo uttered. She was wet, so tired, so
miserable. A great lump seemed to
form in her throat. Suddenly she
snatched away ber hands and hid ber
face 'in' them.
"I want to go home! oh, I want to go
home!" she eobbed.
Jerry Dennison, being unfortunately
a young man of Impulse, waited no
longer, but took her wet umbrella,
dripping mackintosh and all tu his
arms, l'erhaps a thrill of thanksgiving
that he kud stayed to settle a few mat
ters in the deserted office pervaded Mm;
hut bis voice was very earnest, and there
was the old, tender ring in it again.
"Nancy," he said, "I thought you
didn't care. I've been u" dolt and on

ture to (realize It in. You can dance
wiib whom you please, and as many
times as you please, only dance last
and longest with mc; and you shall
g'j home this minute if you like only,
will you let mc go with you, Nancy?"
'"Yes, yes! Oh, Jerry, you know I
will," sobbed Nancy.
Bob met them in the hall ae the big
clock in the corner that bad belonged
to his honor the governor was strik

lips for Nancy changed suddenly to u
beaming smile of welcome ns be saw

"You?" ho said. "By Jove, Jerry, I'm

Nancy flushed as his eyes met h.r

"I'm going to take off these dripping
things," she said. "I'll be down in a
minute."
She paused nt the nursery door. She
could hear the bum of masculine voices
downstairs, and the clinking of glasses.
Jerry was evidently explaining things.

REPUBLICAN
A
Of Maryland's Legislators Nomi
nates McComas For Senator.
TEH REFUSED TO PARTICIPATE.
As Only Fifty-three Attended the Can
ons, While. Fifty Nine Vote Will Be
Xeeeaeary to Eleet, the End of the
Deadlock la Not Tet la 8lnbt.
Annapolis, Md., Jan. 15. The Mary
. land reneral assembly. In Joint conven
tion yesterday, took but one ballot, and
that resulted as follows: McComas, 49;
Gorman, 42; Shaw, 17; Flndlay, 1; nec
essary to a choice, 65.
The absentees are all Democrats,
most, It not all, ot whom will be In
their aeata today at noon, when an
other ballot will be taken. It was thla
fact that enabled Judge McComas to
j come within six votes of Jeing elected,
and that he did not take advantage of
' the opportunity to force matters, when
he might have had the prise In spite of
( the "eleven," la taken as an Indication
: that he has not vet secured the votes
his friends on Saturday claimed that he
would be able to muster. There Is no
doubt, however, that a criBls Is ap
proaching, and an election may now
take place at any time.
The changes In yesterday's ballot
were brought about by McComas' ac
cession of both of Shryock's votes and
one of Findlav'a. He also captured
Senator Day, of Howard county, who
has voted for almost everybody In the
race. Delegate Tull, of Talbot, who
voted for McComas on Saturday, re
turned to Shaw, making McComas' net
gain over Saturday's vote but three.
Delegate Hall, of Talbot, who voted for
Flndlay on Saturday, also came back
to Major Shaw yesterday. This leaves
every Republican in the two houses on
McComas' list except the "eleven" from
Baltimore city three senators and two
delegates from the "eastern shore" and
the solitary Flndlay delegate from Bal
timore city.
The lines are thus clearly drawn be
tween the two sections of the state, as
in this tight the "eastern shore" men
are working In the Interest of Baltimore
city as against the western portion of
the state in revenge for having forced
the election of Senator Wellington two
years ago by ignoring the statute which
provides that one senator shall always
come from each of the sections.
That the Democrats are ready and
willing to take a hand In the contest,
and to aid the "eleven" In electing al
most anybody but McComas Is no long
er susceptible of denial. Delegates Wil
kinson and Wirt, the acknowledged
leaders of the Democrats In the house,
declared as much yesterday In speeches
made la the joint convention, the lat
ter making a bitter attack upon Judge
McComas for his part In the passage
of the "force bill" when In congress,
and declaring by Implication that he
would vote for a Republican, but not
for one whose record upon that ques
tion was such as that of Judge Mc
Comas. Mr. Wilkinson went even fur
ther, saying that he proposed to vote
for Mr. -Gorman as long as therl was
a chance or even a hope of electing
him, but when that hope Is gone he
proposes to vote for whomsoever he
pleases, be he Republican or Democrat.
These speeches are looked upon as
official announcements that the coali
tion la on If it can be carried through,
and It Is announced that the full Dem
ocratic vote will be on hand within a
day or two. Senator Jackson returned
yesterday, and Delegate Malcolm, who
has been absent during the entire ses
sion en account of Illness, has so far
recovered as to make It probable that
be, too, will be on hand when tho final
"round up" takes place. With these
gentlemen In their places It will re
Quire M votes to elect a senator, and
from present Indications It seems about
as easy for one side to get what they
need as It la for the other.
General Shryock drew out of the fight
yesterday, and declared himself un
equivocally for Judge McComas' elec
tion. Fifty-three members of the general
assembly met In caucus last night to
discuss the senatorial situation. Hon.
Louis E. McComas and J. C. Mullikln
were placed In nomination, the roll call
resulting in 46 votes for McComas and
7 for Mullikln. The nomination of Mr.
McComas was made unanimous, after
which the caucus adjourned. Ten mem
bers of the Republican minority refused
to enter the caucus.
Tho New Kucland Strike.
Boston, Jan. 25. The principal events
In the industrial strike In New Eng
land yesterday were, firBt, the return
ot the striking workmen .of the Queen
City mills at Burlington, Vt.; secondly,
the strike of those employed In the
spinning department of a mill of the
Fall River Iron foundry, and thirdly,
the refusal of the Weavers' union of
Fall River, bv a vote of 117 to 14, to
allow the King Fhlllp mill weavers to
strike. The refusal was given on the
ground that all the other operatives
have accepted the same cutdown of
11 1-9 per cent, and Buch a strike would
weaken the union.

Washington, Jan. 24. Resides the ap
pointment of C. Wesley Thomas to be

Once upon a time a "bllziard" was a

opportunity to "write up" a genuine

occasion tbey have employed the term
to designate what the irreverent would
call "toy old snowstorm." Perhaps the
