Wnth nntl Douglas streets almost every
morning, stands In the shode of the Ne
braska Telephone buildlnR for an hour,
eagerly scans the dlzxy heights looking
for Tom, and then nt last turns away In
despair, becnuso she cannot recognize
him among the many men that climb
mid dally risk their lives In tho work at

At 10 o'clock this morning she appeared

eye and looked up. A dozen men stood
gazing also. She edged close to ono of
them and asked timidly:
