MBLVIM a. JOHNSON MBLVIN 4 JOHN SON. SATURDAY MORNING, JAN. 6, I Faith Clarke's Career By JANE OSBORN -r Newspaper Syndicate.) It wns the first time In Faith Clarke'H career as stenographer In the Gage Manufacturing company that she had been late. Her snttilt- purse had slipped from her numbed lingers on her war fr IJhilr Street Home to the corner where she customarily took the bus.

She had retraced her steps, bvjt the rapidly fulling snow hud hid- speed nnJ accuracy, na well us In what Mr. Gage considered suitable personality. So that wns the end of thnt, and Mr. Gngc decided to put off for uu- othcr day the choosing of a private secretary. Thnt evening after closo of the olllcc he felt the need of exercise, and In spite of the dretiry wenthcr, with thuwlng snow of iho morning underfoot und gray skies above, he walked for several miles hi the direction of the hotel tluit was his temporary abode.

As he wiilked he could think of nothing but the cnso of Faith Clurke. Why she declined his offer? Why would nny clrl decline $35 Instead of 518? Mr. Gnge made up his mind to solve the problem. Ills mcdltnllons were suddenly Interrupted, when his downcast eyes fell upon small purse on the sidewalk before him. It wJlxJuUf covered with snow; apparently It hud recently been exposed.

Mr. Gage picked It up and opened It. It contained $2.45 ami a key attached' to a wooden tug marked "Koom 09, Blair Street Home." Mr. Guge asked the pollcomm) at the next corner where the lllulr Street Ilomc might bo, nnd was directed to a bonrdlng home fur girls a den the It had fallen. So Fnlth went her on foot, punching tlib time-clock In tho entrance to Indicate 11 half hour's tardiness.

As soon as she had titkcn her scat In the room where nine other stenographers worked nnd hud opened her typewriter desk to begin transcribing 1 notes from dictation tyken from one of the- salesmen late the previous nft- ernoon, Faith was aware of the fact something of uuusuitl Interest wns In the air. "Better powder your nose nnd look alive," snid the girl at the next desk, coming In tills to-look us over." "Just my. luck," sighed the girl nt the desk on the otber side, looking Into llie tiny mirror on the cover of her vanity case. "The snow got- my hair und took out all the wave, nnd I've got on my oldest dress. I should worry 1" Eventually Fnlth Clnrke pieced together the Information that Thomas Gnge, son of "the big boss," hnd arrived.

He had previously hail charge of the western plant of tho concern, but had now come to assume control of the main oflice nnd would need private secretary, niul hnd announced he would choose one from the stenographers already' employed. He Is coming to look us over. Jimmy overheard him telling Mr. Mills. Tben he will pick nut the one that ho thinks looks the best.

It will mean thirty dollars a week to the girl that suits--" Fnlth kept on with her work and carefully rolled sheet of letterhead paper Into her typewriter. Apparently she wns not especially-Interested. "It Isn't likely he'd pick me," she murmured. "Oh, I don't know," consoled the neighbor nt the left. 'Tou've got a flue record.

You've got more speed tlmn any of the rest of us and you're terribly nccurato. Those things count. Though, of course, he's young and lino looking nud will probably pick a good looker." Faith Clarke sighed again and opened her notebook to bea'" the "monotonous day's work. For nn hour -little work wns done. The buzzing of- voices wns Incessant, nnd there were frequent pauses In work for powdering of noses and re" adjustment of hairnets.

Then a hush suddenly fell on the room, for the door hnd opened and Mr. Mills, cilice manager, I i tall, koen-eyed stranger, entered the room. Never Jind stenographers'-room of the Gage Manufacturing company hummed with such Incessant clicking of the typewriters, and never before ten heads bent In such keen nt- tentloQ to work. Mr. Mills and the stranger stood talking In subdued tones, but obviously the stranger wns making observations.

Then they left the room and the door FOE four or five minutes more tlie type 1 writer keys buzzed furiously, and tliun lull. "Gosh said the girl at Faith's left. "Gee whlal" aild.thc one ut her right. the suspense something awful?" wild girl across the room. "How soon, do you think be'll let us know?" AfCcr the noon lunch hour the girls took their places Ami tlii'ii Molly Day, who had found the suspense so trying, was called to Mr.

office. She stopped In the dressing room for a careful reappllca-' tlon of rouge anil lipstick and went Into the sanctum with confidence gained thurel))'. "Honest, I wasn't bit Hcnrcd," she announced when she came buck. "I had lay biilr waved of getting lunch when I was out and that kind of braced me up. Gosh, but I'm hungry now, (hough.

VV.ell, I'll treat you all when I get my thirty week, girls." But presently surprise cuiuc. Jimmy, lliu oflice boy, came In with a message to Faith Clarke. Stic was wanted In Mr. Gage's olllce, nnd she departed nt once, without oven looking in a mirror. Her throat wus dry her knees were trembling.

"Poor kid 1" said one of the girls. "I suppose ho's looked up her record, bnt, gosh, what does good record do when girl doesn't keep up appearances?" In spite of dry throat and trembling knees Faith Clarke took trlul letter from Mr. Gage with lightning rapidity' and transcribed It hi an niljoliiing of- Dee without', fault. She waited while Mr. Gage rend It lie was consulting tier record for promptness ami nccin-iicy on 11 large pink card from the filing room.

"I think, Miss Clurke," he wild, "thai you may consider yourself advanced to the poislllon ns my private Kccre- tary. It Is an advancement, beciiusu It will meaa thirty-five dollars a week, nnd you are now. I bflluve. getting eighteen. Of eoiirw.

this Is to be con Qdentlnl for day or so." Hi? pnuseii look keenly Into the ilellcutcly featured face of tliu girl who but ai ttiu other side of his desk. "I nm sorry," Fallli sultl slowly, "hut I--If you don't very much nilml, I'd ratlicr not. I may luivc taken tluit lot- ter quickly, but really I know .1 wouldn't dn nt all. I'm very cureless end I'd much rather stay hi tlie other room 1 with eighteen week." Mr. Gage saw that the matter wus BO far as the girl was.

concerned. After all, she had right to refuse the offer she chose, and per- hups a girl so unambitious as to wlsti refuse such an ailvanceiiiuat would make a 'good secretary. Still, he iliad been attracted to the moment lie entered the stenographer's room. It only on the recommendation of 1'Mr. Mills thatjio had tried the other ''Klj-l first, and had found her lack- few blocks away.

It wns a dingy place Inslile nnd out, nnd tho high unshaded gtis lights In the hull did little to dispel the outside gloom. He nskcd the attendant nt the desk whether she would take the purse, to which the attendant mechanically reached out to a cumbersome electric press button nnd rang nine times and then nine times more. "I've sent for ninety-nine," said the attendant wearily, "I'd rather Imve you give It to her yourself." Mr. Gage sat waiting on a narrow uncomfortable black wulntit bench In the hull antf presently, to his surprise, appeared In the gloom Faith Clarke-- tho girl about whom lie had been thinking for the pusi half-hour. "Aro you ninety-nine?" he asked rising, njid then, "I didn't expect to find you here, Mis Clarke, still I au very glad thnt I did." Explanations concerning tho loss nnd finding of the purse were soon over.

Mr. Gage lingered, sitting there beside Miss Clarke In the dingy hall. He told her that he felt this a good opportunity to try to persuade her to accept his offer. "I nm quite sure you can do the work satisfactorily nnd I should think thnt tho Increase from eighteen to thirty-five dollars a week would make up for the additional responsibility. That mast bo nn Inducement." Faith Clarke looked about her and then back to Mr.

Gage. "You sec," she stild, "this Is home to me. It's the only home I've known since I left my uiifie's In the country and that wasn't at all happy. It's a working girls' 'home--the rule Is that no girt earning more than twenty dollars a week can live bore. I left one.

place because they raised my wages--tluit. was when I went to Gage's; und now--don't you see what it means to me? If I accept your proposition I would have to leave this home. It would break my heart." Tbonins Gage, felt something very mucli like a lump In his throat, at the thought tlint tills dingy place, with Its odors of sanctity nnd poor cooking, could mean so much to any one. Ills own home life had been so happy-- perlinps he had never quite appreciated It. "Still, I'd like to do your work," Faith admitted.

"It would be so much more Interesting. Would you let mo do tho work with the same salary 1 Thomas Gago looked perjllcxed, and then suddenly he laughed a little and held out his hand. "It's a go, Miss Clncke. We'll make It twenty a week they'll still let you stay here." If was there In that dingy hall that Thomas Gage made up his mind tblit he would probably woo Fnlth Clnrke ns his wife. "A girl who loves home as much ns that," he assured himself, "ought to make a wonderful' wife." Two months later he nskcd her to marry him, and.

of Fulth accepted. It was then that she fo'und that there was little bank 'account to her credit, showing a weekly saving (of woek. "It's yours to do what you want with It," Mr. 'Gage told her. "I'm going to give It to the home-maybe they could buy -plensanter light for the front hall and get a comfortable settee Instead of a old block walnut bench." THRILLED BY RACING TRAINS Lying In Berth, Traveler Enjoyed Sight of Locomotives In Keen Contest.

A looknr-ln at the window confesses to guilty (idmlriitlon for trnln race. He HIIJS tluit In his travels by night he lui's luiblt of looking out of the window. Sometimes lie enjoys views of the starlit heavens which he does not obtain In any other wny. Once he wus nstonlslied by tho filglit of brll- limit constellation which he had never observed before. He drew din gram of It find WHS told Mint he lind discovered Orion.

Early one morning on the Grand Trunk he observed Ciinn- diun I'nelflc truln gaining on his own, with tho flrcnmn shoveling In coal with umisunl energy. Evidently the Grand Trunk engineer and Jlreiiiun saw' It, too, for 1ho speed of his own train perceptibly Increased, nnd the natlonnl locomotive won out. While the Canndlun I'liclflc (rain was gaining ho regarded the nice ns a foolish and dangerous performance; but ns the contest be- cmue more even his point of view changed. It seemed like a healthy competition. There could be no finer race to watch--It beat horso racing nnd yacht racing all hollow.

He could sec nil the ttmu which wns gaining. Then to lie In bed nnd witness such a contest suggested that combination of luxury and excitement which wus one of the marks of the decadence of Rome. sobered him agnln-- he did not like to contempltitc the do- cllnc nnd fnll of our civilization through this kind of Indulgence. He iidmlts that It Is dangerous, but lie would like to sec nnother race. NUMBER ZM7.

At a rlllc meeting In Swltierlniid It wns discovered that the steel-juc4celcd build's of the innrliflinen were swerved from their course by tho Influence of telegraph find telephone wires rnnnlng iloiigslde the range.

Experiments were then iinule nt Tlmn by placing fotu- steel cables parallel with the range and nbout forty yards distant from It nnd sending current 'of 8,000 volts through them. The effect, It Is snid, was lo tiirif- the bullets so far from their course that the deviation amounted to 24 ynrds on range of 200'ynrils. The bullets on' taken from the targets were found to be magnetized. Nest, on un artillery rmiRe of 3,000 yards 'lite electro-magnetic Influence was generated 200 yards In front of the targets nnd -10 ynrds to one side. The projectiles were swerved 14 degrees from a straight Star.
