| OUTLET
For Eastern Lines.
Traffic Arrangement Has
Been Made
Between Pittsburg and
U. S. Companies.
Through Services For Indepen-
dent Phones.
Contract Signed In Cleveland Satur-
day by Representatives.

Saturday that gives the Akron Peo-
pies Telephone company service with
Pittsburg and the East
The Pittsburg and Allegheny Tele-
phone company, of Pittsburg, and the
United States Telephone company, of
Cleveland, signed the contract 1t will
give the Cuyahoga Telephone company,
of Cleveland, and the Akron Peoples
Telephone company, an outlet to the
East and at the same time give the
Pittsburg company the chance for
Western business that it has needed.
The contract is for ninety-nine years
and Is for an interchange of business
between the two companies.
General Manager Maxine Reber, Of
the United States company, and Vice
President Sidney II. Browne, of the
Pittsburg company, are the officials
who signed the traffic arrangement on
behalf of their respective companies,
and operations under the agreement
will begin as soon as the connections
between the lines of the two systems
can be made, which will he soon, It is
announced by the officials of the
United States company.
The United States company now has
lines In operation to the line between
the States of Ohio and Pennsylvania,
and as soon as the Pittsburg company
the connection between the two sys-
TENS will he made. Work is to be
begun at once by the Pittsburg COM
pany. There has been talk in Pitts
burg to the effect that the Erie Tele-
phone company, which owns the Bell
system in Cleveland, has bought the
Pittsburg non-Bell interests represent
ed In the present traffic agreement,
but this is denied by the officials of the
Pittsburg company.
"Some OF the other people have been
circulating rumors that there was to
be consolidation Of the old company
and the independent company in Cleve-
land" said Manager Mark Davis. of
the Cuyahoga company, yesterday,
''but there is not word of truth in
the story These statements are circu-
lated probably with the intention of
keeping people from making contracts
with us on the ground that the sys-
TENS would soon be consolidated, and
that there was no necessity for using
our telephones. The talk of consoli-
dation is absurd. Our interests, as far
as long distance business is concerned,
are more extensive than those of the
other company, and there has never
bsen any thought of a consolidation.
by the traffic agreement that has
just been made between the United
States company and the Pittsburg
company we will be able to give con-
nections with the East The Plttsburs
company has lines to Baltimore. vii
mington, Philadelphia, Washington
and all that part of the country and
we will be able to connect with those
places under the new agreement. II
win not take long for the Pittsburg
company to build the lines necessary
to connect them with our lines. which
are already in operation to the State
line, and as soon as this is done the
through business will be possible"

deed, IL 1t does not ere long boil over
with genuine match for the heavy
weight championship of the world,
says Macon. There are two gentlemen
here at present, Herman J. Witte, Of
Cincinnati, ana Mr.. Pickett, OF the
Memphis Scimeter, both of whom are
willing to offer smnll-sized fortunes
for contests in which Jcffries shall be
n principal. Mr.. Witte wants to have
him meet Jim Corbett In the Queen
City of the West, while MIR. Pickett
is willing to put up with Rubin as the
champions antagonist. Mr.. Witte, 1t
is understood, desires 20-round con-
test between Jeffries and Corbett,
while Mr.. Pickett is willing to offer
inducements preferably for 25-round
contest between the champion and
Rubin, but it prepared TO make II n
fight to n finish IL that will induce the
men to do business with him.
Jeffries, who has taken the mana
gcrial bit in his own teeth, refuses to
consider any 20-round proposition for
n match between himself and Corbett
He virtually acknowledges the prob
ability that the ex-pompadour cham
pion would out-point him and get the
decision in such n contest. He inti-
mates that the only way in which
Corbett can get another match with
him Is in a fight to finish. in which
the winner must get the entire gate
receipts and make side bet OF $10.-
600. There is only one place in Amer
lea, and that is Nevada, In which
such contest could be legally pulled

perhaps 25 years old, a stalwart, hne
looking fellow, with something IN his
face that made Faith puzzle over
something foreign there. For an In
slant their eyes met. Then Faith
blushed and moved back out of the
crowd and went on. She did not look
back, but she seemed to feel that the
two gentlemen were looking after her.
"They are the persons who have
bought the picture and will take 1t
away" she said as she walked along.
She was sad at the thought, for she
had come to cherish the look at the
fathers face which she had enjoyed
every day since she first saw 1t there.
During the next few weeks Faith
had an experience that tried her as
she had never been tried.
She visited scores Of photographers
studios to get piecework. In some OF
them she would find waiting dozen
girls all on the same errand. She prov

ed the value of her work on several &C.
casions, for she had learned to do the
retouching in superior manner, and
still, work as hard as she would, the
orders she could get did not equal her
expenses which she had reduced to
the lowest possible figures.
She came back to her room one day
after an unsuccessful application for
orders In 20 places thoroughly tired,
for she had walked good many miles,
and the streets were running over with
mud and snow. ~,
She counted over her money and for
the first time realized that she had
reached the end. She was determined
not to run in debt, although her land
lady In the fiat had been very kind.
She went down to little newsstand
on the corner and bought an evening
paper and looked over the wilderness
of wants" and wondered how in q
city like that any one ever found any
thing to do. She envied the butchers
boy who was just coming out Of mar
ket near by and thought Of asking him
how he managed to get his position
while 80 many boys were probably
without any.
| She took the paper to her room and
finally settled on one advertisement as
offering q possible chance for her.
She had made up her mind for sew
eral weeks that she could not make
living by retouching.
"I'I do It," she said, with a faint
flush Of color In her face. "I wonder
what mother would say"
The advertisement was as follows:
wANTED.-An American girl to do cooking and
general housework. Wages satisfactory. Apply,
| with references, to - Ellis avenue.
"If | can get S4 week with my
board, can save nearly every cent OF
It," said Faith resolutely. "And moth
er taught me how to cook. | am sure
it Is as honorable a way to earn a liv-
ing as working in q store"
There was bit Of adventure in it
also that attracted her. The thought
of Dorothy Gilbert's daughter work
ing out as a "hired girl gave Faith
something of surprise at herself, but
it was q part of her love Of expert
ments that made possible the strange
experience she was now about to know.
She went to the studio early Mon
day morning and secured good refer
ences. For the rest she said she would
frankly ask the people to try her for
week at least and then employ her for
what she could do.
She took a Cottage Grove avenue car
and went directly to the number on
Ellis avenue. 1t was large house,
with q veranda on three sides. She
went around to the side entrance and,
mounting the steps, rang the bell. her
heart trembling little as she did 80.

fined views on the temperance ques-

"And every woman" he returned,

as much as the $5 he has come to beg
for" .
"They are very poor" sighed Dor
othy.
$50 are we," replied Faith. "Or we
shall be If we always give to every
body"
Dorothy did not answer this, and
Faith picked up the coat and worked
on In silence. She was evidently plan
ming something serious in her mind. 1t
was not the first time she had ventur-
ed to demonstrate about the habit her
father had of helping all sorts OF peo-
pie. Until a few years past Dorothy
had not allowed thought Of the mat
ter to disturb her. Malcom's salary
was very small still. The most rigid
economy was necessary to keep the
family expenses within the income.
The annual income from his writings
now amounted to about $500, but q
large part of it was given away, and
Dorothy faced increasing difficulty
each year in managing the household
finances,
The study door opened, and Malcom
and his visitor came down stairs.
'T am going out for a little while,
Dorothy. Mrs. Barnes is very sick,
and am going over there. Don't
wait dinner for me If I'm not back be-
fore half past H."
He kissed his wife and went out.
Faith and her mother watched the tall,
heavy figure 80 out Of the yard, with
the unattracti Barnes shambling att
er him. Malcom was growing gray,
but he was erect and vigorous. In his
prime, and to these two women watch
Ing him out of the window he was the
best man in the world.
"I'd like to see any one say anything
against fatherw said Faith decidedly,
while an unusual tear came into her
eyes. At the same time her mother
and herself were wondering how Nal
com ever found time to write his SER
mons or anything else.
Faith stole up to the study and look
ed at the loose leaves Of the sermon
on the fathers desk. The last words
he had written were a quotation,
"Whoso giveth to the poor lendeth un-
to the Lord"
Dear old father" said Faith softly.
"I'd better let the Lord rebuke him.

Dorothy looked at the girl gravely,
but did not say anything.

| but did not say anything.
"I have been writing to Grace Hol
ley, who went to Chicago a year age
to learn retouching in Keffen's studio
She is earning as high as SIT and $1e
a week. She says there will be va
cancy there soon, and If I apply al
once may get the place. You know
I have learned retouching here, all
they can teach me, and like it. Moth
er, I can't stand 1t any longer to re-
main here at home doing nothing. The
boys will soon want to go to college

photographer or an architect or pa
per hanger or something useful. If IA
thei. can spare enough money to get me
started, I can be in position before
the year is out to help the family. We
never can break father Of his habits OF
helping everybody. and l want to be
self supporting and help the rest too"
This was a long speech for Faith to
make, but it was the beginning Of sew
eral family conferences, and the end of
it all was that one day in winter of
that year Faith and her father went
down to the station, and Faith took
the express for Chicago. The arrange.
ments had all been completed for her
to enter the studio, where she was to
receive So a week to begin with and
promise Of rapid increase If the work
was satisfactory.
"Goodby. father. Don't give away
your overcoat before you get home,
will you?" Faith called out Of the win
dow as the train started.
Malcom Kirk smiled and waved his
hand. Then he ran along the platform
and handed up an envelope to Faith.
She managed to kiss his hand as she
took the envelope and then leaned back
in her seat and cried.
When she opened the envelope, q
check for $25 dropped out.
"This is a good companion my
dear You will find it good company
on the road. Your father" This was
written hastily in q note with the
check. Faith understood 1t was the
price Of a story Malcom had written
that fall. She tucked the check Into
her purse and cried harder than evers
But when she found herself In Chi
cago next morning, she set herself res

the people at home were very entertain

had been in the city few months she
was obliged to face serious condition,

She went up by the window where
the picture was still on exhibition, and
there was the usual crowd In front
Of 1t.
She stopped again and looked hun
grily at it. 1t was like getting q
glimpse into the dear home circle In
the parsonage at Conrad.
It was perhaps a little strange that
she had not entertained the idea OF
calling at Raleigh's studio and telling
him that she was the daughter Of his
subject in the picture. But Faith was
very shy in some ways, and she simply
never thought Of trying to meet the
artist.
AS she stood there, this Saturday
night two men in the crowd were talk
ing about the picture. They stood so
near her that she could not help hear
ing what they said.

"When do you start west"

"Better leave it here till then"
T think so too. But what a force 1t
has, Malcolm"
Faith started at the familiar name
and looked up.
The man who spoke was a middle
aged, gray bearded gentleman, and the
man whom he called ''Malcom" was

She went off to her own room that
afternoon and brooded. When Faith
brooded, something happened. And it
was not altogether a surprise to Dor
othy when few days afterward Faith
announced her decision:
Mother, l have made up my mind
to go away and earn something for the
family. I've tried every possible place
here, and you know how it is"
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1900-08-04

that she had been obliged to draw on
the S25 check. She had used all the
money her father had been able to
spare. The work in the studio had for
several weeks been piecework, and 1t
happened that business was dull, ana
several weeks she had been able to
earn less than SIS.
Then came crisis that she had not
counted on. The studio changed hands,
and the new proprietor began to cut
down expenses and dismiss some OF
the retouchers. Faith was one OF the
latest arrivals, and one evening as she
came down to the Office from the little
workshop under the roof she was notl-

She loved him now with deeper, truer
devotion than she had ever known in
her younger days.
Faith was silent moment. "But
how can father afford to give money
to people? 1 don't think he ought to-"
Dorothy did not answer at once.
"If people need the help Of money
more than anything else, how else shall
we help them? Sympathy and prayers
don't seem to be enough in such cases" ."
"I think father might make Mr..
