eyes bashfully and went on with his
chant
The girl bent her pretty head over
her work as she tried to make up for
lost time Lost time was accurately
counted by the general manager.
She did not seem to be a part of the
Office machinery Surely there was lit
tie in common between her and the
typical Office machine, an expert at fg-
uring. whose desk was next to hers. His
one ambition in life had already been
reached He had climbed as high as an

FERDINAND COSTELLO"
She went The pastor was a music
lover and music connoisseur. She sang.
The last sweet sound died away, and
there was stiffness in the room broken
at last by the low-toned voices of the
committee and the pastor.
1t seemed an age to the ambitious
little singer leaning against the piano
before the minister took her hand in his
and said:
'We feel that your voice will be a
power for good among our people. We
want you"
30 Margaret took one step up.
There was a little ripple of excite
ment the next day at the office when
Miss Quivey walked up to the general
managers desk and told him she was
about to leave.
Mr.. Groovelet looked after her Won
deringly as she walked out of that most
wonderful of places, "ouh Office"
The years marched steadily on. Toll
ing, studious, climbing, struggling
years to Margaret It was up hill all
the way TO the singer.
Wider experience and broader cul-
ture were now hers.
The mother In the invalid chair had
journeyed by her side through these
years of study abroad. Costello the
tenor had advised and directed and
never Lost sight Of her.
Then came dark days when the moth
er seemed to be slipping away before
Margarst's dream was realized.
When days were past, there came
one never-to-be-forgotten time when
through nervous strain and anxiety the
little music-box suddenly became mute
She sat at the piano, with her head
bowed In her hands, realizing how
precious her gift was to her and how
slight was her hold upon it.
This cloud passed away and people
who heard Margaret sing in those days
listened with tears In their eyes at the
touching pathos of the singers voice
At last, after years of trial and strug-
gle years Of careful training, the music
al star was to sing in Chicago, the
scene OF early struggles
Thanksgiving eve was the night
The Auditorium was a blaze of light
and life.
Outside there was the long process
sion Of carriages blocking Congress
street and Michigan avenue. Inside
there were the throngs of people, many
beautiful women and beautiful toilets. |
"a brilliant audience" some one re-
marked
Behind the scenes apart from the rest |
stood group Of three. The nervous,
gray haired man was Costello, the IA |
nous tenor. There was the pale-faced |
lady in the invalid's chair whose won
derful love had sustained the singer.
Beside her stood the beautiful woman
who was about to try to sing her way
into the hearts Of the people waiting.
Margaret stood holding her mothers
hand In hers thinking of many things

There was the pale. pleasant-faced
oookkeeper, whose shoulders were
stopped from daily bending over
ledgers. Next to him sat the cashier,
wiping his gold-rimmed glasses with a
quick nervous motion before he ran
over bundle of checks with lightning
rapidity and plucl1ed out the one he
sought.
The secretary's pen scratched away
as he signed the mass Of letters.
The group of lady" stenographers,
thick and thin, long and short, sat at
their machines in one corner mechanic
ally clicking out the hundreds of
letters
The clerks who did billing mot COO
ingl were working away.
Hugo, the Office boy, whose legs were
a daily example of the possibility of
perpetual motion machine, few hither
and yon, obeying the quick. sharp calls
from every desk.

man who was entry clerk and invariably

he wittily dubbed the younger entry
clerk. Their voices sounded like a
monotonous chant
Moses, the colored janitor, sat at q
long table looking as wise as an owl
in his big brass bowed spectacles,
stamping the snowbank of letters on
the table before him.
Into all this rush and hurry of money
getting quietly walked beautiful
young girl, glanclng nervously at the
Office clock as she took her seat at a.
desk five minutes late.
From his desk across the Office the
sharp-eyed general managers glance
followed hers to the clock. The red
haired Yorkshireman stole an admiring

ty Of lie, ner triaIs and her joys had al
helped to give her this power over hel
audience.
A wave of sound foated to them
that thrilling sound of the clapping OF
thousands of hands
! Away from it the singer turned
! toward the figure in the invalid chair.
As the audience slowly wound its way
out, commenting upon and praising the
singer, a narrow-chested man with a
set ring on q slightly wrinkled right
hand remarked to his companion as he
lighted a cigarette on the pavement:
by .Jove! that singer looked like lit

years ago. I'm suah Duh Mistah Brown
would say So"
At last all was over. In the gray Of
the early morning the coach containing
the singer and her mother rolled away
from the Auditorium.
They were both silent, busy with
their thoughts, for their return to Chi
cago had revived many memories of for
mer struggles.
At last the mother said: Daughter,
do you know this is the commencement
of Thanksgiving day9 How much we
both have for which to give thanks to-
day and always, haven't we?"
As Margaret did not reply, her moth
er laid her hand on her arm and said,
gently: 81 know how thankful you are
that your ambitious dream has come
true, but the thought often comes to
me, my child, are you happy"
And Margaret answered, thoughtfully:
'Yes, there is much for which / am
truly thankful. The world says can
sing to them, and you have been spared
to listen, to love the singer. If there
are shadows in the picture, they are
cast perhaps by the musical heights yet
unclimbed.

"And yet you know, mother mine: If

and so should you, If we were always
glad we scarcely could be tender"
Then they were silent
In few minutes Margaret began to
laugh land to hear Margaret laugh was
a pleasant thing.) She SAID: ''Now,

Soap

People have no idea how
crude and cruel soap can be.
1t takes off dirt. So far,
so good; but what else does
it do?
1t cuts the skin and frets
the under-skin makes red
ness and roughness and
leads to worse. Not soap,
but the alkali in it.
Pears Soap has no free,
alkali in it. 1t neither red
dens nor roughens the skin.
1t responds to water in
stantly; washes and rinses
off in a twinkling; is as
gentle as strong; and the
after-effect is every way
good.
All sorts of stores sell it,
especially druggists; all sorts
of people use it.

On Water Works Held Lively Meeting
Last Night.
The joint committee on public water
works met last evening with the intention
of awarding the contrac. for the construct
ion of the works, but after lively discus.
sion the members failed to agree and it
was deCided to allow the matter to 20 be-
fore the Borough Council.
One of the questions that ere ted lively
debate was proposition to substitute a
steel pipe for the one the committee origi-
nally intended to use. According to a
statement by one of the Councimen, the
discussion was pr cipitated By claim that
the steel pipe proposed was only the over
plus of stock of some bankrupt firm and
after the amount on hand would be used no
more could be secured.
A Councilman also stated to a HERALD
reporter to-day that the lowest bid for the
construction of the works is SlO6. 600.

some Of the Topics That People are Talk

The deliberate thinker must come to the
conclusion that Shenandoah is in position
to command the attention of outside
capitalists who are on the lookout for live
towns in which to establish industries. We
have large population, plenty Of floating
labor, an inexhsustible supply Of cheap fuel,
three railroads connecting us with all
sections of the country, an abundant water
supply, gas, incande. cent and arc electric
lights, an electric railway which is q great
boon for local traffic and which will be
still greater one shortly, when il is ex-
tended, an ectric fire alarm system,
splendid fire department, and free
delivery system. To those will soon be
added Belgian block street paving, public
system of sewerage and, eventually, a city
charter.
