1t was lust luck that she got in among
us. Work on big city daily like the Re-
hex is not easy to secure, even when one
is the possessor of exceptional talent or
exceptional influence - sometimes it is
hard TO get when one has both these bless
ings-and it was evident from the first
that she had neither.
All we knew about her being taken on
was that she appeared at the door one dis
NAL afternoon in the early fall, and, after
looking about in the timid, futtering
hesitating way which we afterward found
to be characteristic of her, inquired for

the stairway, sacrificed himself for the

and through clouds of tobacco smoke to

said in that way of his which makes US
bows mind our p's and q's when we are in
his vicinity, and Larkins said that she
lust stared at him and gasped, she was so
scared and broken up by his cantankerous
manner. She must have managed to
answer him some way, though, after Lar
kins left her TO her fate, for she took up
nV0 long minutes VI LID pIeCAOuo tiiuc
while we fellows were kicking our heels
and swearing outside; and when she came
out at last she was actually smiling in a
pale kind of way, and she had little
notebook gripped in one hand and one of
Blldad's own special pencils in the other.
Bildad had actually given her detail |!
And when the other reporters began to
come trailing in at 5 O'Clock with their
stories. there she sat at Morris desk,

otes, with her forehead all puckered up
into worried little wrinkles, just as if she
had always belonged in the office.
From that day she fluttered out and in
daily, and BiIdad always managed, no
matter how d ull things were in town or
how scarce work was for the rest of us, to
give her two or three details in the course
of a week. Certain it is that under his
hard and rough exterior the "old man.
must have had most kind and sympathet-
ic heart for nothing but the sheerest kind
ness and pity could possibly have infu-
enced him in giving her the chance that

As a reporter she was rank failure.
She not only did not have "a nose for
news" but she soon proved that she
couldn't recognize an item if it walked di-
rectly over her. She always missed the

point OF anything that had a point to it
that was entrusted to her, and Blldad
soon discovered that f. ct to his sorrow.
After the first, however, he put her on
to .'rose fairs and "chrysanthe
shows" and church work, and she got
along better. She never did write a good
story about anything, but Bildad always
read her copy, and, / fancy, edited it a
good deal, and 80 it always got in.
II we wondered that she got on the
paper we wondered still more later on,
when her inefficiency became patent TO us
all, how she kept on in city where so
many bright and clever women were fairly
pining to distinguish themselves in the
journalistic line.
But not one of Us grudged her the few
details that fell to her share, or thought
less of Bildad for his kindness to her.
There was not man in the office who
would have put a straw in ",he little
lady's" way, and as far as she or her work
was concerned, our ordinarily critical and
upsparingly frank tongues were silent.
You see one just couldn't be unkind to
her, for she looked as if the world had
been pretty hard on Der any way. Gen
teel poverty was evidenced by her whole
attire, from the top Of her Off Grape
bonnet TO the toes OF her worn and sha bby
boots. She was neat-that was one thin :
in her favor.
Her little wisp of gray hair wa
laboriously "montagued" over her narrow
and shining forehead and done up in the
highest of French twists at the back.
Her black dress, though polished on the
shoulder blades and at the elbows and
| bearing other signs of having seen long
! and faithful service, was always well
brushed and carefully darned wherever it
showed signs of giving up the struggle fol
existence, and her gloves, OF which she
seemed never to have an absolutely new
| pair, were simply marvellous examples OF
the patient exercise of the art of mendIng.
That she had been gently reared was
plainly TO be seen, for although she was
painfully shy she was never awkward or
| rude, and when she managed to overcome
her diffidence enough to talk to any of US,
her voice and her words gave evidence o.

strange to see q woman so totally untitled
| by nature, as she was, to hold her own
among the busy workers OF the world,
earning her living in that difficult way.

| through crowds and ask questions OF
strangers could scarcely be imagined, and

Martin was drinking heavily and GO
ing to the dogs generally, and that his
wife was having "a harder row to hoe"
even than usual.
We pitied her, but could do nothing to
aid her, since she took no one In her
coufden and there was something
about her, in spite OF her shyness and
shabbiness and undenisble poverty, that
made it impossible for even the boldest of
us to attemp pit an in trusion on her personal
privacy.
Much as we execrated Jack Martin, We
were, after we realized what manner OF a
woman she was, chivalrous in all ways to-
ward Jack Martins poor little wife, and
the highest lazy in the land could not
have been treated with more genuine re-
spect and truer courtesy than was this
faded little woman in her shabby gown by
the somewhat wild and reckless lot of
young fellows who at that time consti-
tuted the reportorial staff of the Daily Re-
| hex.
So time went on until one day-for the
first time since she began to work on the
paper-the little lady did not show up at
o'clock.
When Allen came in at he brought the
news that Jack Martin had "lit OUT with
a third-rate variety actress. who had been
idiot enough to be taken in with his soggy
good looks.
"It's good radiance for his wife," said
Jenkins, stopping in his scriboing for
moment to look up darkly at the rest OF
US from under his eyeshade. shut l sup
pose she will be just fool enough to he
sorry. Some women value man the
more highly the more worthless he is, and
Mrs. Martin strikes me as being one of
that kind. She ought to have let him
starve long ago." And we all agreed with
him.
That evening while Mr.. BiIdad was
clearing up the desk preparatory to leav-
| ing the night editor in charge messen-
ger-boy came in with letter directed TO
him in the little lady's well-known writ
ing.
The message was brief and to the point,
surprisingly so, considering the usually
involved aud prolix style of the writer.
"My husband has left me-" 1t said,
"and as l have nothing now to live for, L
have concluded to give up trying. Please
thank all the gentlemen for their past
kindness, and send some one up 10 the
house as soon as you receive this. want

Two OF us went tearing out to that far
away lod gin G. house as fast as hack could
carry u.s. but we were too late TO do more
than secure the SCOOP" which our poor
little lady had bequeathed us.
She-timid, nervous, hesitating little
creature, though she always had been
in some nexplicable way, born of her
desolation and despair, found the strength
and courage to face the muzzle of re-
yolver five minutes before our arrival and
send bullet straight through her aching
heart. REUBEN Taylor

JAPAN WANTS AN ISLAND,
And May Fight Spain, 1t Il Said, for
One of the Caroline Group.

SAN FRANCISCO. March 6.-The long
overdue schooner Vine, which left this city
on a trading trip to the South Sea islands
last June, has arrived in port with impor-
tant news from the South seas regarding
a possible war between Japan and Spain.
Captain Luttrell brought advice from the
Caroline islands of happenings which may
involve Spain in another war, this time
with the ambitious Japanese. The natives
of the Buk islands. part of the Caroline
group, which belongs TO Spain, are very
ferocious when foreigners attempt to land,
and all trading with the islanders must be
done by other natives. The islanders are
almost all cannibals. They refuse to be-
come civilized and wear no clothing. A
number of japanese traders recently estab-
iished a prosperous business with the more
peaceable islanders, but when they at
tempted 10 go inland they were fierceiy op-
posed. Just before the Vine left the Car
olines a dozen or more japanese traders
provocation. The remaining traders sent
the news to the Japanese government, and
have asked for war vessel TO subjugate
the inha bitants Of the Spanish islands. The
general belief at kasaie when the Vine left
was that war would follow, as the Jap
anese coyet the islands and generally
understood to be desirous OF having col
ouies throughout the South seas. IL is sur
missed that Japan would attempt to SUBJ
jugate the islands and colonize them, ire
spective Of Spain.

PORT ROYAL. Va, March 6-The Wom-
ems Christian Temperance Union has been
grossly imposed on by man who lives i'm

that the union had number of Armenians

the Boston office requesting that three men

twenty capitalists and inventors BY means
of the float hydraulic compressor was
actuated forcing the water into a pressure
tank under a working pressure OF 400
pounds 70 the square inch. The water
pressure tank operates an engine which
drives any kind OF machinery. In the test

five horse power was easily generated. The
machine is automa Ucally self-regulating.
and is so arranged that during storm periods
no more than a given amount of power or
pressure can be accumulated. Wright says
the failure 10 provide such a device has
heretofore rendered all wave motors use
less. Further experiments will be made at
a greater distance from the beach. Wright
figures that during the minimum wave
movement he will develop one horse power
on every foot of ocean frontage used. The
cost of steady power at the coast will not
exceed $40 per horsepower per annum.
Power can be delivered in Los Angeles for
$25, about one third the present cost. Mr..

NARROW ESCAPE ON THE l. ".
Bridge Sinks Train OF Passengers

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
MARTINSVILLE, Ind, March 6.-Mar-
tinsville is almost completely cut of from
the rest of the world by the extreme high
waters, which have been scarcely equaled
since the 1915 flood. No metropolitan pa
pers nor has any mail arrived since yes
terday morning. The F., +. * II. branch
of the Big Four has suffered damage TO its
roadbed that will not permit regular run
ming Of trains for three or four days. The
worst damage is with the Indianapolis &
Vincennes road. which is effectually tied
up and with a probability OF
being so until Monday. Every effort is
being made TO clear the way for making
transfers, and thus in a measure TO resume
travel and carriage of mails and express.
Such an effort this evening would have re-
suited disastrously TO railway equipment,
and perhaps in loss OF life, but for the
timely action of a most careful engineer.
William ID. OTsey. He was backing his en-
gfne and pulling train heavy
laden with passengers toward Centerton.
When attempting TO cross forty foot cul-
vert the bridge sank about four feet from
the track level Quickly reversing his en-
gine, he recovered solic track, and poSsi-
bly, saved many lives. IL was extremely
fortunate that the engine was backing ten

on the bridge il would certainly have
plunged into water fifteen feet deep.
