THE WAIF.

Just lonely little maiden from the city,
dust and heat,
A homeless, lonely little waif, with blue eyes
sad and sweet
No fathers hand with thoughtful care the lit
tie life had blessed,
No mothers touch Of love had e'er the tangled
hair caressed.
Her ears had heard sins blasphemies, her
cheeks had felt its blows,
And in the wide, wide city she had lived, just
how, God knows.
But now, out to the country-kind hearts had
planned the way
She rode to breathe the summer breath a fort
night and day.
Oh, joy Of all that journey, and sweeter joy to
come,
When Farmer stebbins took her to his pleasant
upland home!
The wide, old fashioned wagon was q chariot
with wings,
And the big house on the hillside looked
grander than kings
All the beaming bliss Of sunshine, all the
woodlands song and stir,
All the bloom Of rural beauty was paradise to
her,
And the hum Of bees that wandered in the
daisy fields all day
Was music Of another world that stole her
heart away.
She knew the spreading maple that the robins
loved the best,
She found the clump of grasses where the
ground bird hid it's nest,
And when the wind at evening whispered
through the orchard boughs
She went with Farmer Stebbins to help drive
home the cows.
And when, at quiet bedtime, with touch Of
tender care
Kind Mother stebbins' gentle hand brushed
back the tangled hair,
One little heart with happiness was full and
running DER,
One little soul was filed with love till it could
hold no more.
drew nigh.
She kissed kind Mother stebbins. bid the birds
and bees goodby,
And climbed into the wagon. with it's wide
old fashioned seat,
Once more homeless little wait, with blue
eyes sad and sweet.
But when they reached the station and heard
the whistles blast
Around the farmers sunbrowned neck two
little arms chung fast.
"Don't send me back! Don't send mel'' the
sobbing creature said,
And Farmer Stebbins swallowed hard, then
bent his bushy head.
And soft unloosed the clinging arms and put
the grieved child down.
He stopped and kissed the tear stained face
and smoothed the hair of brown,
And then the long train sped away around a
distant hill,
But happy brown haired maiden stays with
Farmer Stebbins still.

BOi1ermakerS' Strike.

The dissatisfaction of the
men employed on the King &
Steele contract for laying the
water works pipe between Eff
ty-fourth avenue east and Les
ter river, increased until the
strike included all the men en-
ployed on the job. Their griev-
ance included the non pay
ment of wages and the VIOLA
ton of the clause in the firms
contract with the city requiring
the payment of wages in cash.
The men alleged that they
were paid off only when their
employers were in the humor,
and then in time checks which
the firm itself discounted 712
per cent, and which, if cashed
elsewhere, were shaved all the
way from the above figure to
10 per cent.
King & Steele, on the other
hand, asserted that the men
never had to pay more than five
per cent, and that when cashed
by the firm it cost them nothing
at all.
The attention of the mayor
and a number of cOuncilrnen
were called to the violation of
the firms contract with the
city, and through the media
ton of the city officials the
trouble was settled and the
boys returned to work yester-
day noon. In consideration of
the fact that Mayor. Truelson
was a witness to the agreement
the men waived their demand
for written contract. They
will be paid bi-weekly hereafter
and in cash; only union men
are to be employed on the job
and there is to be no discrimin-
alton against the me mbcrs of
the unions who took an active
part in the strike. The men
also get a raise of wages, the
boilermakers getting $2.75 in
stead of $3.50, the helpers So in
stead of $1.75 and the rivet
heaters 81 so instead of $1.25.

STORY OF A VIOLIN.

as realized just a moment too late.
Though I did my utmost to atone
for the part I played in that tragedy,
the white agony on Chris Carew's
boyish face that night haunts me as
wildly now as if had seen it there
yesterday, and it is years since he
last bent his head over his precious
violin. = =. =.
I. suppose that two friends fired
with the same burning ambition
were never more genuinely attached
to each other than he and I, perhaps
because, if I searched the world, I
might never find a more lovable,
more unselfish and thorough fellow
than Chris Carew. To become great
violinists-that was the life dream
we shared. Living together, we had
practiced together for years and
dreamed of triumphs to come. True,
more than once I recollect having q
spasm of envy because, as time went
on, Chris unconsciously developed
a delicacy Of touch and purity Of
tone that l could not seem to reach
and was more often given the solo
parts when we played together in
public, but nothing more. Chris
invariably turned it's edge in his
quiet, convincing way:
Twill, it's nonsense Ny instru-
ment happens to be an older and
better one than yours; that's all.
Put any other fiddle into>my hands,
and I could never get half the effect.
You know it; we have proved it. .
And so in those dear days we al
ways placed it down to the subtle
sympathy that had grown between
him and his exquisite old violin,
nearly black with age. AS I say,
we had struggled and dreamed to-
gether for years, and then-then
that shadow of a woman came be-
tween us. Then
They say that every woman has
some kind of beauty in some mans
eyes, but Lottie Arnold-well, she
seemed to be one of the women who
unconsciously set longing the heart
of every man they meet. She had
just joined as pianiste the orchestral
society to which Chris and ! belong
ed, and know that experienced a
queer thrill the very first moment
I saw heron a concert night, when
she foated across the platform
to give the overture-and again
when she stood bowling to the ap-
plause, slight, indescribably be-
witching figure in soft, white even
ing dress, with a mass of deep
brown hair and clear, calm eyes
that shone even at that distance.
And Chris, when / happened to
glance at him-his lips were parted,
and he stood as if lost in an ecstasy.
At the moment, though, I set it
down to his deepsappreciation of her
playing.
IF it had ended there! But prac
tice nig hts came twice a week and
with them opportunities of turning
Lottie's music, of begging her ac-
compartment, even of whispering
soft nothings, until I understood
that she had too intense nature to
appreciate them. In a month ! was
madly in love with her and could
not realise, future without hen.

that had marred my performance.
It was gone now. remember that
when, about half past 9, I faced that
great, critical audience as Chris Ca

though my success had been assured
for years. To play as I had never
played before-to carry home news
of triumph to Chris!
And, with the vision of him sit
ting at home there always before
me, l played that night-well, as
Chris himself would have done.
The moment the prelude had ended
was sure of myself. Never had

had my bow responded SO lovingly
