Story
Became Convinced That His
Wife Was a Remarkable
Woman

I am u steeplejack
Now Ill admit that a steeplejack is
a very unique individual We have
doctor lawyer merchant chief ad
libitum but how many steeplejacks
Probably not one in a million citizens
And I am aware that while a steeole
jack is very attractive to a crowd he
is a constant source of worry to his
own family who dont know when his
mangled body may be brought to his
home on a stretcher or in a wagon If
his wife sees him at the work by
which he earns their daily bread she
must be one of a crowd watching him
one half dreading that he will fall
and the other half fearing he wont
I NEVER INTENDED TO CLIMB IT
fall Taking him altogether a steeple
jack Is not a desirable member of a
family
That was the reason why Mr Davis
when I asked him for his daughter
Molly turned faced me squarely and
said impressively
Yes you may have Molly when she
will marry you each one of you swing
ing from an arm of the gilt cross on
the top of St Thomas church
You mean by that I suppose Mr
Davis I replied that I cant have
Molly at all and because I am a
steeplejack Do you deny sir that a
steeplejack has a heart the same as
any man
Im not Interested in steeplejacks
hearts I dont propose that my
daughter shall marry a man out of
whom she can never get more than a
bare living except by insuring his life
Hm I replied to this thoughtfully
Not a bad scheme Now suppose
You get out of here I have some
thing else to attend to than listening
to airy schemes for my daughters
betterment Good morning sir
Being thus cruelly choked off I left
him crestfallen I thought it very
hard that he wouldnt even permit mo
to propose my plan though Ill admit
that the only way to make it a success
was to die I went to Molly and told
her what had occurred between her
father and me I was very lugubrious
about it and expected a lot of sym
pathy What did she do but burst out
laughing This made me look more
disconsolate than ever whereupon she
threw her arms about my neck ex
claiming
Stupid get that woeful look off your
face
That reminds me I replied of
when I was a kid When my mother
used her slipper on me she would say
after she had flnished Now be good
and look pleasant
Molly laughed again Seriously
she said did father say you could
have me when I was willing to marry
you swinging from the cross of St
Thomas
Yes he did
Then thats the way we must be
married Grandma left me 20000 but
Im not to have it without fathers con
sent when I marry Were there any
witnesses present when he said this
There was some one in the next
room but I dont know -who
Ill And out Ive got to become a
steeplejack like you That is to say
Ive got to learn to climb steeples I
must get such control of myself that I
can go up to the cross of St Thomas
and hang there long enough to be mar
ried
Nonsense I exclaimed
No nonsense about it if Im to
marry you I know father well enough
to be sure that if he says a thing hell
stick to it He has said or implied
that he will only give his consent to
our marriage under certain conditions
which he meant for a refusal But in
law if the conditions are fulfilled his
consent has been given
How do you know that
I dont but I can ask a lawyer
cant I
But good gracious you cant learn
to climb steeples One must be born
with a head for that they say a stee
plejack has absolutely perfect eyes
Well cant you hoist me up there at
the end of a rope with a bag over my
eyes
I thought for some time before an
swering this question At last I said
I dont know but I might
Come in tomorrow Meanwhile Ill
find out if we have a witness to fa
thers conditional consent
I --
But Ive beo dismissed
That does Mot matter Father
knows that I do as I please He is
aware that his only hold on me is that
his consent to my marriage is neces
sary to my getting my legacy And
hes pretty sure I wont give up 20
000 for a steeplejack and a very sim
ple one at that
Her last words cut me to the heart
but she put her arms around niy neck
and gave me a hug which made me
feel better I left her feeling that she
had a more level head on her shoulders
than I even if she couldnt climb
steeples as I could The next day I
went to see her and she said she had
discovered who was in the other room
when her father had been talking to
me a plasterer who had brought him
an estimate for some work She had
found the man and asked him if he
could repeat what was said He gave
the matrimonial condition word for
word Molly took it down in writing
and he signed it Molly is a mighty
practical girl and a very energetic
one
There she said concluding her ac
count of what she had done weve
got father just where we want him
It seems to me I replied dolefully
that hes got us just where we dont
want to be
She laughed and because I wouldnt
laugh with her she boxed my ears and
said Look pleasant Thte made me
look worse than ever but she kept
boxing my ears till I had to smile to
stop her Shes a great woman Molly
Is that is in a certain kind of way
A few days later I received a note
from her saying that she had made an
arrangement to visit a cousin in N a
neighboring town where there were
several churches all with steeples She
told me to meet her there with climb
ing tickle and she would take her first
lesson I put my ropes and pulleys
in a baggage car and went with them
to N I found Molly in gymnasium
costume She had taken prizes in gym
nastics and she said she would go
right out to take a lesson I sent my
tackle- to the church with the lowest
steeple climbed to the roof fixed a
beam from which I hung a pulley
then sang out to Molly to put the loop
on the end of the rope under her arms
and haul herself up She did it without
any trouble Then I went to a win
dow midway up to the steeple fixed
another beam and this time pulled
her up from below and she got in at
the window I was surprised that she
didnt wince But as Ive said theres
a lot of sand in Molly
Before we had finished the first les
son Molly was sitting on the base of
the ball capping the steeple a hundred
feet from the ground A number of
people had collected below watching
her and she kissed her hand to them
I saw from this that she had a steeple
jacks head as well as I
I remained in N a week and every
day we did some climbing the last
day I was there going to the top
of the most difficult steeple of all to
climb It was not very high but there
was a long pull with no rests from
the base to the top of the spire On
the apex were a ball and a cross and
Molly hung from one side of the cross
As I looked at her hanging there it
struck me more than ever that for that
kind of girl Molly beat any one I had
ever tackled
This was valuable preparation but
the height was only 140 feet while St
Thomas was 250 But Molly said
that if she could hang 140 feet above
ground with her eyes open she could
hang 230 with them shut She seemed
very happy over it all and I wondered
whether she was glad because she was
going to get me and her 20000 too
or on account of having demonstrated
her ability to climb
Molly I said it seems to me that
youre mighty pleased at the prospect
of getting a man who is nothing but a
steeplejack
Well Ill tell you why Im so
pleased
Why
Ever since I was a little girl father
in speaking to me of marriage has
dinged it into me that I was to marry
high up in the social scale
Molly I said with difficulty con
trolling my trembling voice youve
crushed me to earth
I was pulling out my handkerchief
to wipe away a tear when Molly
kissed it away
Never mind Jim she said Doubt
less therell be lots of couples just like
us but therell be none more loving
That comforted me awfully
We went back home I told Molly
that she must continue her climbing in
order to keep her head at great
heights She said All right but
didnt lay any plans for any more of
it One day she wrote me that she
wished to see me at once I went
right round I didnt see anything un
usual In her appearance which sur
prised me when she told me why she
wished to see me And what do you
suppose it was Her father had heard
of her climbing and very much as
tonished and angered asked her what
k meant whereupon she told him her
scheme He fumed and fretted for a
whole day then gave In But he in
sisted on my leaving the steeplejack
trade and going into business with
him
Well now I said overjoyed isnt
it fine that you wont have to climb
St Thomas
Nonsense I never intended to
climb it
You didnt
No I contrived that father should
hear of what I was doing and I knew
it would bring him round without
that
Weve been married five years now
and I am getting to think sometimes
in some things that my wife is my
superior although Im more used to
going up In the air than shi
