Curtis is vis iting at Shadeland ranch part of this week Poor Thing Patience I feel awfully sorry for her Patrice Why Shes get ting hard of hearing and she does so Ilk to heat herself talk He teepiejacks Story Became Convinced That His Wife Was a Remarkable Woman By F A MITCHEL Copyright by American Press Asso ciation Mil 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 DAVID MAUL
