Gluabcth’s position. By CARL WILLIAMS. Copyrlght«'d. 190S, by Associated Literary Press. 3= - =o Elizabeth found the town formidable as she emerged from the station to face the horde of shouting hnckmen. At other times she bad come to the city with a party or she bad been met by the people whose guest she was to be. Tills time she eauie alone to face the new life which graduation and a determination to make a career bad opened tip to her. In her pocketbouk was $50, a card with the home address upon it In case of accident and a clipping from the Moreton Century. These were the shield and buckler in the light she was to make for success. The money would keep her going until she obtained a position and the clipping would cheer her. It was written in the editor’s best style and ran: Miss Elizabeth Cady, whose graduation essay on “The Wider Scope of Woman's Sphere" was the sensation of the high school exercises, will leave for the city Monday to become a valued recruit In the great army of commerce. We predict that It will not be long before our accomplished townswoman leaves the rinks to assume an Important position of command. With such uu augury for her future Elizabeth could not turn back. Her mother had sent marked copies to all their relatives, and, for her mother's sake as well as her own, Elizabeth felt that she must succeed. She swallowed the lump that came into her throat and headed for the street car. In other days she had always taken a cab, hut now she felt that she could not afford the expense. It was at the time when toilers were returning to their homes and the cars were crowded to the rails, but she bravely climbed aboard and thankfully accepted a strap with the feeling that she was already one of the workers. The Home For Self Supporting Girls, to which she had been recommended, was vastly different from the accommodations to which she was accustomed. The tiny room with its two Iron cots and its duplication of bureaus and rockers sharply marked the line that separated the two girls domiciled together. There was no homelike air about the place, and the chill atmosphere of the dining room found a responsive chill in her heart. She went to bed early, feeling that she must stifle tier sobs to avoid annoying her roommate. She lay In the narrow bed thinking of the dainty room at home, with Its white dimity hangings and its great white bed. If she had listened to Joe Trenton she would be (here tonight, dreaming of the time when she and Joe would have a home of their own. A score of times Joe had proposed but Elizabeth had made (lie career of woman her fetich and she would not sacrifice her freedom. Joe’s last effort had been III timed, for he bad spoken on the night of her graduation, when the plaudits of the audience still rang In her ears and bits of the essay echoed loud and clear. | “Perhaps—when 1 have found my career." the girl had promised gentl.w “hut don’t you see that to turn back now upon my own principles would be false to myself? Others, looking to me for example, might be tempted to turn back too.” “What if they did?" argued the man. “Do you have to put happiness from you just to practice what you preach?” “Of course,” she cried. “We who would lead must be prepared to sacrifice." In the elation of the moment she had pictured herself a leader of her sex She did not hold with the extremists who argued that woman should vote and rule the nation, but she had given herself heart and soul to the theory that a woman had a right to a career, and she was her own most enthusiastic convert. Now she regretted her stand ns sh" choked back her sobs, but when morn lug came she was again strong In her resolve. She sallied forth with n lisi of addresses. Toward evening she returned. The list had proved unfruitful. and the kindly faced woman at the desk offered words of encouragement that fell upon ears too tired to grasp their meaning. flint day was but the first of ninny. Wearily she trudged from place to place, but the demand was for skilled workers. Some seemed willing to give her a trial If she would serve for varying periods without »V. but this was out of the question. Site must have a position by the time her slender re sources were exhausted or she must return home and confess failure. The thought preyed upon her mind, and daily she grow thinner and more worried until the litlle woman at the desk, whose big. motherly heart was great enough to embrace her whole brood, sighed to see her. With a beaming face she came to Elizabeth’s room during the sixth week of her stay and announced n visitor. Elizabeth, think lug that one of the many men who had taken her address had come to announce the reconsideration of his refusal. made herself tidy and with uncertain trend hurried to the parlor, where a half dozen other girls were entertaining callers. With a little gasp lug cry she stumbled toward Joe Tren ton, who sprang forward to greet her. “I didn’t know that you were In town.” she cried w hen the greeting was over and they were sitting in the seclusion of a corner. “Why didn’t you let me know that you were coining?” “No time!” exclaimed the man. "1 Iliad a sudden call to town, and 1 thought that I’d look you up. Let's go

over to the park and get some fresh air, and I'll tell you all the gossip that the t’entury hasn't printed." i’ltzabeth hurried for her hat, and presently they were making for th“ tiny park near the home. Elizabeth had seen it only In passing, for there was no energy left after her day’s search for employment. Now the soft grasses reminded her of home, and it was a wistful face that she turned to Joe wlien they hud found a bench. “Tell me about Morton,” she com uiuuded, but Joe shook his head. “All in its turn. Tell me about yourself first. Got a job?’’ "Not yet.” Elizabeth was glad that the dark concealed her flaming cheeks. “1 think 1 shall have a position In a day or two, but things are very dull here just at present.” “They’re dull everywhere,” was the listless comment. “I was looking around a bit today. Don’t you think, Bess, that you ought to leave the jobs to the girls who really need them when there are so few?” Elizabeth was startled. Here seemed to be a chance to ge» back home without appearing to surrender. "What do you mean?” she asked tensely. “There are lots more girls than there are jobs,’’ he explained. “Now, some of them will have to get left if the girls who are clever, hut who don’t really need to work, get their places. "You’ll be tickled to death to laud this position you have In mind, but maybe some girl who might have hud It if you had not come will be crying her eyes out because she was not as clever as you and is still hunting a place. You have a father to support you. Maybe the girl who might have had the job has others to support.” Elizabeth's hands clasped so tightly together that her rings bit into the soft flesh. For the last two weeks she had been nerving herself to admit failure, to go Tack home and confess that the city had beaten her. Joe was offering her retreat with honor. It seemed almost too good to he true. “Don't you see." argued Trenton, “that you really owe it to others to de lay your campaign until the demand exceeds the supply? It's only fair to those who need the work.” “Perhaps you arc right,” assented Elizabeth, with a show of hesitation. “Of course it is hard to give up one’s ambition, but I guess you are right. Joe.” “I know of a job that you could get that would not put any one else out.” suggested Joe, as though suddenly Inspired. “What is It?" she asked eagerly. “Housekeeper- forme,” he explained, with a chuckle. Elizabeth drew back for a moment. She did not want to seem to surrender too quickly, and yet—he bad shown her the way out. She put her hand In his. “i'll take the place.” she said quietly She had gone up the stairs to her room with a promise to meet him at the station in the morning, and Joe turned to the gentle faced woman, who still sat at her desk. “You’re right,” he said gratefully. “That argument won out. We're uw fully obliged to you for writing—her folks and me." "1 am very glad that I could help." was the gentle response. “1 hope that you two will he very happy.” “I didn’t say anything about that!” cried Joe In surprise. The gentle faced woman only smiled For ten years she had mothered numberless girls She did not have to he told that Elizabeth had found her position.

Why He Called. "You advertised that you had found a pockethook, I believe?” he asked the man who had come to the door In answer to Ids ring. “I did.” “You say it contaiued a sum of money?” “Yes.” “A very large sum of money, In fact?" “Yes.” “And that the owner could have the same by naming the sum found and describing the pockethook?’’ “Yes. Go on." “That Is all I wished to ask.” “But you will have to give a description of the purse you lost befoie you can put in a claim.” “1 lost no purse.” “You didn’t?” “No. sir.” "Then why have you called?” “Merely to see what a man looks like who will find a very large sum of money and then advertise the fact in the papers Instead of hiding It down cellar. Good day, sir.'’—Judge’s IJ brary.

A Critic's Evasion. It is risky to give one’s honest oplu ion about a man's horse or dog, a house designed by himself or a picture which he values highly. He who gives the opinion stands on a slippery place, and should the judgment be unfavorable he will slide far from the man’s esteem. Fuseli, the eccentric artist and professor of the Uoyal academy, was invited by a nobleman to sec a painting of which he was the proud owner. Fuseli went, taking a pupil with him. The painting was shown by the nobleman himself. The artist examined It and exclaimed. "Extraordinary!” The nobleman, greatly pleased at the ejaculation, lauded the picture to the skies, pointe 1 out Its beauties, and Fuseli cried: “Extraordinary! Extraordinary!” On their way home the pupil said: "Mr. Fuseli, 1 don't think much of that picture \\ hat did you mean by ‘extraordinary?’ ” “Extr.iordinnrily bad.” was the reply of the artist, who had not eared to offi ml a lord who might become a patron.

A Forbidden Inquiry.

[Original.1 The last hell rang for the passengers who were on board to hid friends goodby to go ashore. “Adieu, sweetheart. 1 shall count the hours till you return.” “Are you sure?” “Certain.’' “And suppose I never return.” “I will go ami weep over your grave.” “You won’t have to go. 1 have no mind to he buried over there. 1 made my will yesterday and gave directions that if 1 die abroad my body shall he seat home to lie in the family lot at Avotldale." "Then 1 will weep there.” "How long?” "For my lifetime.” He hurried ashore and st.H>d looking from the end of the dock up at her, thrcwlng her kisses which she threw hack at Him. A month later word w-s cabled from abroad that she had died suddenly of heart disease while climbing a mountain in Switzerland. He remained for three days in a stupor, then was about to go abroad, where her mortal part ! was, when lie rcmembereii .:rr farewell j words. As soon as Hi ■ cool weather j set ia an oblong box was received from Switzerland and buried in Avondale cemetery. He was not notified of the burial by her spinster cousin, her only relative, who gave as a reason that it would be better he should not be present. But as soon as be learned of the fact lie went to the cemetery and stood uncovered by her grave, tears rolling down his cheeks. lie had brought some plants to set out where their flowers tlm next spring would hang over her grave. Some one had heeti there liefore 1dm on a similar errand. Flowers were strewn over the mound so fresh that they must have been cut hut a few hours. He spoke of those flowers to her cousin and asked if she had placed them. She had not and seemed surprised. Hi* was troubled. It is singular that we should lie jealous in ease of the

dead.

I’very Sunday afternoon lie went to the cemetery, anil every time In* found fresh flowers on the grave. They must have been placed then* in the morning. The next Sunday he went at dawn and waited and waited till Id o’clock for this rival for the dead At that hour n young girl came and strewed flowers on the grave. A great relief came to him. He advanced and addressed his fellow mourner. Sin* had lieon a friend of Ids former fiancee. Every Sunday morning these two met at the grave of one for whom they had a common love lie grew to look forward to tin* meeting not so much us a melancholy event as a reunion with one who was filling the void in his heart, a void which, If tilled at all. can he done only by a living person. But this girl of flesh and blood was from the tirst constrained, and her constraint had grown ou her. When they met her eyes would brighten; but. looking down on her friend's grave, she seemed moved by some Inward emotion. Wlien winter came their visits were omitted by mutual consent till the spring should come. Their meetings were not, as before, on Sunday morn ings, but on Sunday afternoons, and wore often prolonged until late in the evening. It was plcnsutcr to sit by a warm fireplace than stand out in the cold cemetery, where the winds shrieked through the leafless branches. He besought her to marry him. She refused. From the expression on her face his words ncoined to have had the effect rather of clods. falling on n coffin than of a groat comfort. When the crocuses were springing up she proposed that they go again to the cemetery, lie sighed and consented but at the appointed lime he made excuses. She said, though with evident reluctance, that sin* would go alone So lie went with her. On the way sin* was silent and melancholy. To see her one would have thought she was going to her own funeral. He carried the flowers to the grave, while she stood at tin* gate of the In closure. He had strewn them when looking up, he saw a figure coming down the rondway. Shading Ids eyes with his hand to see more distinctly, lie staggered hack against the iron rail. The woman over whose grave he had strewn flowers—his lost love—was coming. She advanced with a slow step, a so rtous expression on her face. There was nothing ghostly about her. On the contrary, she was plainly mortal. What astonished her betrothed most was that her friend appeared In no way surprised at this return from the dead to the quick. “This is a wrong I have done you, said the returned one, “and I regret it, hut I laid tlie plan long ago and re solved that I would carry it out. When we parted 1 began a brooding over your words that you would “weep over my grave." Then 1 became possessed with a desire to leant how long you would weep for me or if you would he faithful to my memory. I gave out that I was dead and caused an empty box to he hurled here. More than that. 1 arranged for her,”* pointing to Ids fellow mourner, “to come here to meet you. 1 have learned what it is lietter I should not know—that the dead have no place In the hearts of the living that cannot he easily occupied by another.” These were the only words spoken. What else was there to say? The three left the cemetery by different routes and never met again. How far the mortal heart reaches into Immortality is one of the hidden secrets of Providence which It Is dangerous to attempt t-i solve. HELEN V. WEED.

DETECTING

A DETECTIVE. (

[Copyright, U«07. by J. O. Heed.] Detective Quirk of police headquarters was a good man. With outsiders that meant that he was honest and faithful and would not betray his trust. With his chief it meant that lie did not have to watch him quite so closely ns he did the others of his staff Mr. Quirk had tu v-.*r read the stories by Gaboriau. De Bolsgoboy or YIdoeq. Ro inance bad nothing to do with Ids taking up detective work. lie was not down on crime and criminals and hunting bad men Into prison from any feeling of duty toward the law. Mr. Quirk realized that as a detective he had a good thing in Ids grasp There was a field open to him that Is open to no other man outside tin* pro fesslon. It was for him to work that field. Detectives have sold themselves out for a few hundred or a few thou sand dollars. In Mr Quirk’s opinion such men were asses and had mistaken their vocation. lie sighed to lie rich, hut he didn't propose to blunder about It. He must first get a stan ling with his superiors and the public, lie work ed for five years to no omplisli this A dozen traps were set for him, hut In* escaped them all by lieing incorrupli ble. He worked a cast* for all it was worth, and he never let up or compromised. If lie caught a broker in a gambling house lie had no more mercy on him than the thief In* caught stealing lead pipe. The burglar who offered him $1,000 to look the other way for a moment fared as did the politician who offered him a like sum to “lot up" in court. His fellow detectives pocketed their “divvies" and called him a fool, and Ids chief looked over Ids reports and almost believed that he had found a subordinate deserving of a modal. The day came when Mr. Quirk real lzi*d that he luul established tils reputation and that he could pull off his scheme with safety. He had it In view fora year. He had several times ln*i*ii called la by (lie president of the - National hank to straighten out crooked things and had thus become well acquainted with the hank messenger, old Folsom. Folsom was ixty yi :rs old. He walked with a hobble. Lie had rheumatism, and old age had weaken ed him. Yet the bank kept him. and seemingly by soon* net of Providence he had never been attacked by the class always looking fur a good tiling In making Ids rounds ho sometimes carried $.-,OO.flOO in checks. In returning to tin* hank he semctlnics brought $200,000 in cash with him. Mr. Quirk fully realized what an easy tiling it was, hut he uttered no word of warning. lie was wailing to e taldish hU

reputation.

After calling at the last hank on his route old Folsom always took a short cut through an alloy to reach Ids own institution. It wasn't an alley so much as It was n passageway. It was only six feet In width and used by pedestrians only. At any moment from 1<t o’clock In the morning till !J in the afternoon yon could look up or down the alley and count at least twenty pedestrians coming or going. There were doors opening Into the rear of office buildings, and there was one door opening Into an empty building that had formerly been a rag shop. One afternoon Folsom failed to return to the hank at his ubu:iI hour. When half an hour had passed, an alarm was given. Men were found who had seen him in the alley, but an alarm of tire was on at the tiiin*, and there were much excitement and confusion. At l 11 o'clock that night I’.ilsom was found in the old lag shop, lie had received a severe blow on tk" head d was tied and gagged. Sumeihing like $i:’o.(V:o In cash had hcell taken from Ills satch el. It was Mr. Quirk who was given the ease, and it was Mr Quirk who found the old man after a long limit. It was four days before Fid-*mi re gained consciousness and told Ids sto ry. There was very little to tell He had hacked up against the door tu stand for a moment and look for tin* tire, and the door had been o; cued, he had been drawn in. and the a f*.Honed the blow on the head and darkness He had not even seen his assailant He was very grateful to Mr. Quirk, and he felt the fullest confldenee In him, and yet there was a clew that In suppressed. Why lie did lie could not have told himself. As he fell he must have grasped the uinn's coat and torn off a button, for there was the button clinched tightly in his hand They took it from him at the hospital and. strangely enough, said nothing about ii until two weeks later when In* was dF charged. Then It was among hi> things. Folsom could not make it out at first. It had the name of a tailor on It, and he had never patronized the man. He believed lie bad soon buttons like that on a business suit, and It came to him after that the suit lielonged to Mr. Quirk. The tailor cor roborated him. Mr. Folsom was old. but be did not lack wit and acumen. IP* set himself
