When storms are raging or fogs pre-
yailing the keeper stays awake to
wind the machinery that keeps the fog

sIeepless nights are thus spent by the

aids to navigation. AT the gray OF

huge panes of glass that form the
walls of the room are curtained. The
large lamp is carried down the flights
of an almost perpendicular ladder, and
when filed, trimmed and cleaned Is
ready for the sunset hour. The work
of the keeper is not concluded with
this feat; the most perplexing portion
Of the daily routine Is now to be per
formed.
The light-keeper must give an &C

Mrs. Daniel Williams, keeper Of the
light in Little Traverse Harbor. on
Lake Michigan, In a recent interview
said this Of her work: 81 first went
into the service In 1869 with my hus-
| band, who was the keeper Of q light
upon an island. In 1872 he was
drowned while rescuing d boating par
ty. The appointment was given to me,
| and I continued in my first charge for
fifteen years. I vas then transferred
| to the mainland, and J. have been here
| for more than sixteen years. I love
| my work-it has its destinations for
| me; and I love the water, although IL
has been to my beloved ones a cruel
| friend. I have had many stirring ex-
| perienees In all these years of Tghc-
keeping. Many are the storms I have
seen, watching the wild waves beat
ing upon the shore. Every evening as
I climb my tower-steps / know that
| there are hundreds Of other light
keepers doing the same thing. I have
many sleepless nights when storms
are raging. MY station is built OF
brick and stone, and is very comforta-
BILE and warm to live in. We hight
keepers feel a great sympathy with
our sailors, for We know their eyes are
watching to catch the welcome glim-
mer Of the lights as they sail on the
stormy deep. The light-keepers are
much exposed to danger, and many
lives are lost in going to and from the
mainland to the lighthouses that are
built upon rocks and shoals. Our lives
are given to our work, and we feel
the great responsibility resting upon
us. We are faithful to the duties as
signed us, and we keep u lamCs

III " than the United States, and
G here, where so few profess
sions or callings are barred to woman,
the position of light-keeper is open to
hers provided, of course, she can stand
thet examination that is necessary be-
fore she can be placed upon the roll of
eiigibles for appointment. The posi-
ton is both congenlal and remunera-

there are few States with a coast line
that do not number at least one among
their light-keepers, and frequently q

The accommodations Of a lighthouse
station are, Of course, varied. Some
times they are simple, but in the case
Of the new structures they are very
elaborate. In the ordinary building
there are usually a seryice-room, 1fv-
store-room.
The duties Of the lighthouse-keeper
are many and important. The top of
the tower is usually a tiny room, all
glass windows. The lantern Is in the
centre Of the rooms it Is a great prism
of glass in shape like a beehive. The
lamp is set into this. and the lenses
magnify the comparatively small light
Of the lamp and make 1t a great beacon
| seen far off over the waters. Should
| the lum1nant be a fiash-light, there is
machinery to be wound up every few
hours to cause it to revolve. At sunset
the keeper climbs the steep steps in the
high tower, takes down the curtains
that darken it throughout the day, and
sets the lamp inside the lantern. AS
she makes out the last dim sail upon
the horizon and feels a thrill Of isola-
ton, and that the u has left "the
world to darkness and to me-" she may
have O serene sense of consolation in
remembering that hundreds Of other
keepers are climbing upward in the
night, and her souls cry for compan-
ionship is answered. At midnight the

frail life dashed out by the waves.
While Mrs. Fowler. wife Of the keep
er at the North Dumping light, Fish
er's Island Sound, Rhode Island, was
in charge Of the tower in her hus-
bands absence, during d thick fog a
break occurred in the machinery by
which the bell Is rung as a warning
to sailors. The bell was at the top
of the tower, with no regular mean
Of reaching it. Nothing daunted, Mrs.
Fowler set a ladder against the tow
er, climbed. the height, tied a rope to
the bell, and rang it until the fog
cleared away. The Lighthouse Board
warmly commended Mrs. FowleF's
courage in a letter that Is precious
TO her. These are but a few transcript
from official pages.
The first woman to act as a light
| house-keeper was probably Elizabeth
Smith, who, n 1880, kept the light at
| Old Field Point, Long Island, and had
| full charge of it for twenty-five years.
| Nancy Rose was appointed in Novem-
Der, 1867, as a lighthouse-keeper to
succeed her husband at Stony Point,
ON the Hudson River. She is the first
| woman keeper whose appointment Is
| on official record. In her seventy
| seventh year, Mrs. Rose still climbs
| the ladder to the light with no uncer-
| tain step, faithfully keeping her vigil
under stormy and starry skies. Her
bright eyes are ~unimpaired in vision.
The lighthouse stands On the hilltop.
The keepers cottage is surrounded by
a well-kept garden that during the
summertime is full Of blooming DAN
las. Mrs. Rose maintains the family
tradition In being a light-keeper, as
they have held the post ever since the
tower was built. She has raised sew
en- children, and kept the position
through various political changes be
cause, as she says, II have done my
duty"
