dereuded on it."
4,,You must not give up., John," Mrs.
McDewell mid, a suepimous moieture
appearing in her eyes. "We've had lots of
troelale since the strike, I know, but you
have not nalaSe.1 a night in years, and the
company cannot blame you now."
"There are some things women don't
understand, and that's One of them' " John
McDowell said. "I've worn myselfout in
the company's service, but let me miss to-
night, and I'd be discharged just the saute as
if I were anew hand."
He had to atop to °atoll Ms breath. When
he was a young man he had run a pump
inside, and the steam and foul air had given
him the "miners' asthma," and though he
had fought it for years, it had oonquered
at lase.
"Won't Carson run in your place ?" She
asked.
• "Not he. It would be asking too much of
the man, for no one knows when I will be
out again. Is Alice in?".
"She's in her room. Shall I oall her ?"
He nodded his head. "She can cheer um
both up," he said.
Alice, their only child, nearly eighteen
years of age, who had left the room but a
few minutes previous to the time when John
MoDowell decided that he was not able to
run the pump engine that had been under
his eare for nearly twenty years, was not
long in answering her mother's call. What
was her parents' surprise to see her clad in
a heavy woollen drese when she came in.
"Where are you going, child ?" her father
asked.
•" You are too sick to work to -night, and
I am going in your place " she answered,
looking from one to the other.
"You 1" exclaimed her mother, in un-
feigned astonishment.
Why not?. Haven't I often been there
with father, and learned how to run the
engine? I know when to put tallow in the
cup, and how to oil every part," she said,
with determination in her eyes and voice.
"How about the walking -beam at the top,
niefethe plungers at the bottom of the shaft?'
asirdd her father, gasping a little.
When they need oiling I oan go down
the ladder and oil them, as I often have
when you were there."
" And carry your latnp and oinoan ?"
"Yeo,father; you have seen me do it
more than once.'
"No, Alice," said her mother, gently,
"you cannot do all that, it would be far too
much for your strength." '
ih" But I have I oan and I will, rather
t an have father lose his place," Alice said,
emphatically. "You know we need the
money, and as long as father is sick, be it a
week, or a month, I oan run his engine and
draw_ his pay." 4,
M. McDowell smiled in spite of Ms weak-
ness. "Well, wife, what do you think ?"
he asked.
"The girl is right," she answered. • "It
wilt not do to have you out of work, and I
see no other way but for her to take your
place till you Lire well, if the company don't

"I will see to that to -morrow," Alice laid.

whila was changing ro dress,
and I don't
want either of you to worry about me. It's

after kissing her father, she tied a hood
over her head and hastened out in the gather-
ing dusk, leaving her mother bemoaning the
fate that had decreed her only child to be a
girl.
• It was nearly a mile to the pumpahaft,
aorees a common of waste land, where rook
and "horny" cosi had been dumped, leaving
but little room for the smarm vegetation and
weeds to grow up in. Over thie Alice walk
ed, brave -hearted and confident, stumbling
now and then in her eagerness. Dark
shadows and piles of rook surrounded her,
while to her left, barely to be wen in the ap.
preaching darkness, the mining town of Car-
bondale nestled in the valley.
The darkness was complete when she
reached the pump -shaft. .As she opened the
door and. stepped into the engine -room, the
day -engineer, who woe waiting for her to
come, greeted her with an exclamation.
"What be you a-doin' here ?" he asked.
"I've come to run the engine," she an.
swered.
" What 1 • You I Who Iver heard the loik

"To be sure, if he's willin', I am;" he
eaid, taking up his pail. "There's nothini
epeoial only to keep her well iled."
"I'll do that." •
"11 you don't they can't blame me. I've
always attended to my pie% and—oh, well,
good -night," and he banged the door behind
him, and Alice was alone.

Quickly, as she had often seen her father
do, she sprang forward; her foot landed
lightly in it, and her hand clutched the
angle in the iron above. Then the walking -
beam started the other way, carrying her on

Oat once more, deftly pouring oilon the
massive journats, hanging there as it stopped
before going baolt.
One, two, three seconds, it seemed, as she
hung there, till it moved again. She looked
down into the darkness below, clinging
bightly to the greasy iron, a quiok, etartled
glitnoe into the depths, blaeker than night,
but a small, yellow Hanle, far down, caught
her eyes. .
The walking -beam give its accustomed
jerk; back she came, her heart beating
quiokly, and jumped to the stone where her
temp was placed,
Who was down the shalt!
The shaft had long been abandoned, and
was only used to pump the water from new
workings on,ihiglier ground. Whoever was
down there had come in that way, Alias
knew; as there was no other way to go down
but on the ladders from the engine room
Where she stood.
Did their presenes bode good or evil? She
must see I
Had she hesitated she would notehave been
true to her father's blooe. To find out what
they were doing she would have to desoend
the ladders. She could not take her light
with her as that woald attract attention.
For a moment she felt a little doubtful
about being able to take so perilous &jour-
ney inithe dark, but only for a minute.
Opening the small door at the top of the shaft
she eaw the first ladder leading down into
he pit, and grasping the topmost round with
both hands she began the dement.
After the seoond step she was in darkness
blaCker than night, Round after round she
descended till she reached the first platform.
It was a small affair; only a heavy plank
nailed between the buntings, but reaching
oat ahe felt the next ladder, and then the
next.
On the fifth platform she stopped and
looked over its edge. About two hundred*
feet below her the small, yellow fleme was
visible, moving around now and then, but
too far off to betray any one's presence.
She'muse go down further.
• She bad nothing to guide her but the
sense of feeling. The least slip or the faint-
eet noise would be alike fatal to her. Cate
tiously and silently she felt her way, the
water from the rooks dripping on her, and
the rods front- the walking -beam, now far
above her, lunging up and down in their
bearings within reaching distance.
She could almost feel the darkness, so
heavy it seemed, and the monotonous drip—
drip of the water was manfully distinct.
Down, and still down, till the tenth plat.
form was reached.
Here she made another oautioua recon-
nehmen°. The light was plainer, and she
imagined she saw several dusky outlines of
men moving around; but she mut descend
still farther to See what they were doing.
Shci had made the descent many times be-
fore with her father, by the light of a lamp,
and the knowledge she had gained of the
ladders and pliitforms served her now. There
were tiventy-three ladders in all, eaoh twen-
ty feet long. Oa the twelfth one was a
broken round. Her calculation was right,
and she passed it gaiety.
When she reached the fifteenth platform
she stopped again. Looking over its edge
she saw the light was brighter, and its glow
disclosed the presence of three men.
They were one—two—three, she counted,
platforms below her. Sixty feet I Nearly
to the bottom, but still she could not make
out what they were doing. She resolved to
descend to thence,: platform.
The water, which far above wad in drops,
nowneime down in small streams, and its
noise drowned another sounds, save the beat
of the plungers in the water cylinder. It
silenced her cautions footsteps, and eshe
reaohed the platform without attracting
their attention., Her heart was beating
quickly with ex, pitement as she looked down.
She was near enough to see bliem, and what
they were doing.
They were,—she could hardly keep back
a ory of affright,—one of them had a wrench
and was uoscrewing the nuts from the bolts

All this flashed through her mind as she
watched them, petrified with fright. The
mutteringe of their VOIONs reached her.
• How many more bolts to loosen before
they would accompliah their vile work?
She turned and ran up the ladder. Gelning
the Platform ahe looked, down again. What;
oould oho do? Her eyes, accustomed to the
darkness, saw the wrench steadily at its
work, and their upturned, harsh,looking
facia, while one man held a lamp above his
bead. There could not be many more bolto
to take out; she must nob stand there and
see everything (sacrificed to their malice,
She felt the hard beating of her heart. It

Luokily the ladder did not hit any of them,

Life in japan.
From an article in the September Century
by the artist Wares we quote the following:
• 'In Japan women have always held a higher
position than in other Asiatic countries.
They go about freely wherever they please,
and the seclusion of the Chinese is wholly
unknown to them. The schools receive as
many girls as boys ; and as a result of my
obeervetions I can safely say, wit:none idle
compliment • that the former are brighter
than the latter.
"By degrees, and under favorable con-
ditions for general observation, some of the
muses of the people's happy spirit of inde-
pendence began to be revealed to me. • The
simplioity of their lives, in which einem no
selfisn rivalry to outdo one another accounts
in a large measure for this enviable result.
Regarding one another very much as belong.
ing to one. family, their mode of life is more
er lees on the same plane, and consequently
a spirit of great harmony rrevails. A very
smell income is suffinient to supply the or-
dinary necestitiee of life, and everything else
ia secured with but little effort. Household
effeoto are few and inexpensive; and should
everything be destroyed by fire or lost in any
way, it is not an irreparable calamity. All
can be replaced at a small outlay and life
go on as before. •'
" The tenant upon renting a house is put
to little expense to furnish it; indeed, he
requires ebeolutely no furniture at all.
The clean, finely woven mate which cover
the floor serve as table, chair and bed ; and
as it is the universal custom to remove the
shoes before entering a house, there is no
danger of one's bringing wish him the dirt
from the streets.
"His bedding cam:iota of cotton quilts,
which are spread on the floor as night,
rolled together in the morning, and stored
away in the closet during the day. A few
pictures (kakemona) and specimens of beauti-
ful scrips decorate the walls' a few vases
contain sprays of flowers, anda number of
cushions on the floor complete the furnishing
ot a room. Yet it does not feel empty or
cheerless; for the general arrangement of
harmonious colors, the different woods
employed in its visible construction, and the
beauty of the finished workmanship, make
a mositharmonioua and pleasingoombination.
Paint is never used to cover the wood,
much less to 'substitute a false grain."
