AS the building rose and he rose
with it Jean caught but a momentary
glimpse of the sweet face, and as he
went higher he could only see the
smooth, dark head under it's lace and
deemed it but a sorry substitute for
the shy greeting he craved.
The violets were in full bloom round
the cottage in Passy where Jean lived,
and the other morning he gathered
the largest and most fragrant branch
to give Sebastienne. Carrying it care
fully into the city and guarding it's
delicate blooms from rough contact
with his fellows, he waited impatient
ly on his rickety perch on the high
scaffolding for sight of the little
figure he knew so well.
There she camel light as thistle
down blown by the breeze on her
slender, hurrying feet, and timing
himself to catch her he dropped the
lilac to brush her upturned face as
she sent her morning greeting aloft.
With Groom of delight she stopped
and lifted the perfumed blossoms, their
pinky buds with the morning dew still
to them scarce bruised from
the fall, and smiling, raised them to
her lips, then daintily waved the kiss
to him.
Charmed with the success of his
plan, Jean leaned more forward to
see the pretty picture, and as he NOV
ed he felt with a thrill of horror the
faulty secured plank on which he
knelt turn with his weight, and with a

A ride through miles of ripening
pineapples is one of the pleasures OF

has made an inspection of the fruit
possible at a cost of ten dollars. The
little journey includes accommoda-
tons and meals at Haleiwa, a good
nights rest and a delightful drive dur

To Sebastienne, whose girlish heart
had never been fritted away in futile
loves, but remained serene and un-
touched in slumbering virginity until
now, the gradual unfolding of this
love flower was an exquisite JOY, a
constant and Wonderful surprise When
after her days work she sat in her
tiny garnet busy with her needle, sup
plementing her scanty income with
fine stitchery for one of the large
shops, she would weave into her sew
ing glorious rose-colored dreams of
future happiness; or with folded hands
gaze TRANQUILITY at the amethyst sky,
watching the moon as sne swan sill
vern and remote over the housetops,
her thoughts full of the time when
Jean should bid her come and she
would go to him fearless and trusting,
no longer alone, but with some one
beside her to fight her battles and
clear the briars from her path.
Both were so poor, yet poverty had
no terrors for them. They were rich
in their wordless love and that we're
enough.
And to Jean, Sebastienne appeared
the embodiment of all that was perfect
and divine in womanhood, and he felt
strengthened, his work glorifed and
ennobled by the daily greeting. So
far he had no wish for speech, the 81.
lent courtship, the daily message from
heart to heart through eloquent eyes
was an idyll whose charm might be
broken by the commonplace utterances
of everyday life.

Then she was gone, taking, so it seem

And every days henceforward this
silent greeting passed between them
No word was spoken; each felt speech
was unnecessary, for on such occa-

the mouth, and love was plainly writ

one to the other. 1t spoke in the mans

PARIS, January Sit was Z o'clock
on a bright Spring morning in Paris
The air was laden with subtle per
fume waited in on soft winds blowing
straight from the country bringing to
tired jewellers in the great city mem
cries of glistening brown fields where
the grain pushed its green lancet
heads above the fresh wet soil; OF
shady dells studded with pale, star

hiding under protecting leaves, and
trees clad in shimmering yerdant
robes and snowy masses OF fragrant
blossom.
Even at this early hour the streets
were full of busy workers hurrylng to
take their places in the stern and
eager struggle for life, and through
the long, narrow Rue de Rlchelleu, a
throbbing artery of traffic, came little
bIack-ciad figure with light swift
steps, From under the lace scarf Gov

There was a buzz of voices, she felt
the horses hot breath in her face,
/ fleck of foam on her cheek, when like
whirlwind a pair of strong arms
snatched her from the ground, gently
/ placing her in safety on the curb.
Dimly she noticed that the posses
sor of the mighty arms had a kindly,
bronzed face, a pair of honest gray
eyes which smiled for an instant into
her own, and tall bloused figure
which disappeared before she could
stammer out her thanks.
With beating heart and trembling
limbs, deaf to the coachmans abuse,
she went on her way, and all that day
was haunted by the memory of her
deliverer. Always quiet and reserved,
she was more than ever silent that
morning, moving about her work in a
kind of waking dream, her companions
/ good-natured chaff and lively chatter
falling UNDECIDED on her inattentive
ears.
When she returned it was late, for
she was a blanch-isseuse de fin and
her hours were long. The workmen
had all gone home, but the sight OF
the boarding wildly recalled the
mornings scene, and little Sebasti-
enne Lepage felt her heart beat
strangely and a lovely blush stained
the palor of her cheeks as once more
she seemed to feel the pressure Of
those protecting arms.
Next morning as she passed down
the street, familiar but now so subtly
changed for her face, eagerly watch
ing as it had watched these many
hours, greeted her with a beaming
smile, and the workman's cap was lift,
ed with courtesy worthy a prince.
To which she replied with faint deep
ening of the wild rose in her cheeks
and a reflection of his smile curving

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-'I would
rather be tried by Democratic

This was the remark of William D.
executive committee Of the Socialist
party and organizer of the I. w. w.,
made Tuesday night. before an as
semblage of about 800 persons at the
Lenox Casino, 10th street and Len
OK avenue. The meeting was held for
the benefit Of the Little Falls textile
strikers. Anton Johannsen and J. J..
Ettor also spoke. William Sanger pre-
sided. Johannsen is one of the forty
odd men indicted in Indianapolis for
conspiracy and alleged dynamiting
Ettor, who, with Arturo ..Giovan-
nitti and Joseph Caruso, was recently
acquitted of responsibility in the kill
ing of Anna Lo Pizzo, a girl striker,
in the successful textile strike at
Lawrence, Mass, last winter.
Choice Language Used.
Ettor bitterly attacked the Social
lists and spoke of Morris Hilluuit. a
Socialist writer and member of the
National executive committee in the
following words: II believe that the
time has come when the worker needs
something more than speeches. There
is one of our so-called sages who
writes long books and makes long
talks. Do you think the capitalists
are afraid Of him? How many bay
onets and soldiers do the capitalists
send out when Morris Hillquit makes
a speech? But when an I. W. w. man
goes out to speak the capitalists do all
in their power to stop him, because
they are afraid of the principles for
which we stand.''
Haywood lauded Johannsen, saying,
IT all the members Of the A. r. Of
l.. were like Johannsen, there would
be no division IN IA Dor. He does not
condemn the McNamaras or offer an
excuse for them, for he knows that
they fought the only way they know
how to, fight.
If you resort to peaceful method
the capitalist will plant dynamite for
you,' said Haywood.
The only purpose of Socialism
should be to work on the industrial
f1eld.'
In talking about preachers, Hay
wood said, "All preachers pray for
the continuation of the present sys-
tenn except the Socialist preachers,
who have been thrown out of their
pulpits for preaching the other way"
A collection of $27.27 was taken ,up
for the benefit Of the Little Falls
strikers.

Faith in Christianity.

= KALAMAZOO, Mich, Dec, a.
Little Beatrice Phillips, aged 1S, has
had to decide one Of the biggest ques-
tions mortal can decide. She has
had to choose between the church
in which she was baptized, in which
she grew to young womanhood, and
the labor union that is fighting to
give her and her fellow girl workers
a chance to live honestly and health
lily. e..
She chose the union!
Beatrice was one of the girl work
ers in the Kalamazoo Corset CON-
pany's factory who organized a union
about a year ago, and, demanding
better working conditions and living
wages, were forced to strike. Their
chief weapon in the strike was
prayer!
When the strike ended her en-
ployer forced her to choose between
the union and her job. She chose the
union. That made it impossible for
her to get job in any Kalamazoo
factory.
Given Her Choice.
Christian Reformed church of which
Beatrice was a member and in which
her own father is one of the most
respected worshippers, sent this let
ter to Beatrice:
Dear Sister: The consistory of

Pennsylvania Railroad Gives En-

Learn Electricity.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Dec 12.-Em-
ployes of the operating department
of the Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany in Baltimore have received Or
ders to report in Philadelp phia at
regular intervals and there receive
instructions in the handling of elec-
tric motors. Complying with these
instructions is optional with the men.
The railroad company, however,
states that it prefers to give it's en-
ployes preference over outsiders in
the new line of work. 1t is calcu-
lated that the change from steam
to electricity as the motive power will
take place within two years.
1t is said that the entire Philadel-
phia, Baltimore and Washington road
will be electrified. The powers will
be generated, it is understood, at the
new plant shortly to be erected at
ConoWingo, on the Susquehanna riv-
er.
1t is also said that sites for trans
forming stations between Baltimore
and Washington have already been
acquired. Officials of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad company have had in
view for several years the substitu-
ton of electricity for steam as mo-
tive power.
They have delayed the execution Of
these plans until they were entirely
satisfied with the economy and prac-
ticability of the system, with which
they have conducted a long series of
experiments. This system has been
successfully installed in the tunnel of
the Pennsylvania Railroad company
under East River, New York.
The first section to be electrified
will be that through Baltimore, in

Implement Dealer Says Harvester
Agents Gave Orders-Busi-

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 12.-With IS
witnesses still to be examined at the
hearing here of the governments suit
to dissolve the International Harvest
er company, attorneys for both sides
seemed determined to hurry matters
when the fourth days session opened
this morning. The hearing was or
iginally set to cover only four days,
but the attorneys nov are doubtful
whether all the evidence they wish
submitted can be gotten in by tomor-
row night.
Threatened by Secret Agent.
William H. Green, an implement
dealer in Creighton, Neb., testified
that he had been in business since
1903 and carried the Deering line of
harvesters. After the formation of
the international company, he said a
stranger inquired his feeling toward
trusts. His views were not favorable,
he said, and the stranger then in
formed him he was a secret agent of
the international Harvester company
and that unless Green stopped talk
ing against trusts the International
lines would be taken from him.
Green said three weeks later his
stock was checked up and the Inter-
national removed all his machines
from his store. He then advertised
he would only sell Independent lines.
He said he put in a stock of Acme
and Keystone machines, which, he
said, were advertised as independent

GREAT lakes FIRMS -.
FAIL TO make BIDS
shipbuilders' Combine to Oppose
New Government Shorter
Work:Day Law.

WASHINGTON Dec. 12.-The ship
building companies and repair plants
situated on the Great Lakes have ap-
parently combined in their efforts to
smash the recent eight-hour law
passed by congress.
These shipbuilding companies have
thus far refused to enter into repair
contracts with the navy department
on acconnt Of their hostility. to the
shorter. Workday. These lake plants
are operated on, the ten-hour basis
and although Attorney General Wick
ersham very generously ruled that
any company working on a. govern
ment contract could use their work
men on other work after employing
them eight hours on government jobs
known Of the companies desired a.
contract from the department.
The department has been endeavor-
ing to secure bids for repair work on
a converted yacht, but has been un-
able to secure them. The situation is
not considered serious because the
government employs vessels on the
lakes only for use in training naval
militia.
If these crafts could not be re-
paired on the lakes they can be
withdrawn and sent to other waters
where repairs can be made under: an
eight-hour law.
