QUAD. [Copyright, 1912, by Associated Literary Press.] ! f \ IVE lore the cold shake! 3 B tseware or rne wavy nair: ^ a Turn from the gold filled teeth! Fate lies In wait in every sky scraper! s An elevator boy may bet on the i races. He may smoke cigarettes. He y may shoot craps. He may take a |E whi:! in a bucket shop, and there is still a chance to hold his job and be_ come a statesman as the years roll on, f but when he surrenders himself to the r charms of Cupid he is a goner, and you - can never even make a lawyer of him. 1 When I came to work in the sky" scraper Mr. Rasher, the agent, sat down and patted me on the head and said: "Sammis, I am told that you are the son of a widow and a good boy." , "Yes, sir; I am," I replied. "You have set out to pay a gigantic mortgage on the family estates and be? come president of the united States?" _ "I have, sir." "You will put in twelve hours per day at $4 per week and keep your eyes peeled in the interest of this syndi - cate?" "I will, sir." I bravely answered. "Then I have but one thing more to say. There are good looking girls in this building, Sammis. There are no [ less than ten typewriters who are as i handsome as Mary Anderson and as r lovable as Lillian Russell. Don't fall i in love with any of them. Don't let f your young heart get up any pit-pat business. To fall in love at your age J would ruin your future prospects and bring the blight of despair to your j fond mother's heart It might also r snap the cables of the elevator. Take i no chances, Sammis. Treat them with courtesy and respect, but let your demeanor be cold and reserved." Blandishments Resisted. I realized that Mr. Rasher was advising me for my own good, and I Je: termined that he should have no oc3 casion to find fault with me. Many sly j attempts were made to capture my ; young heart, but I nobly resisted them, j 1 In time I was known as "Cold Storage Sammis," and many a man patted me j on the shoulder and said: "Boy, would that I had your strength j of will to resist the soft smiles of a black eyed typewriter with peachy cheeks!" But fate was lying in wait for me, i and I knew it not One day a young woman named Sarah appeared in the I office of the tar and rosin syndicate as typewriter, and when she had made her first trip in my elevator I knew * 1 ' C11, J T? TT that A was a lost uoy. uau ?a?j hair and teeth of gold, and her smile 1 was as gentle as powdered sugar. As the elevator wabbled upward I turned pale and red, and felt shaky in the knees. Sarah noticed my confusion I and. laying her hand on my arm,,she softly whispered: "Sammis. I dote on fresh roasted peanuts. I believe I could eat a peck of them." That was sufficient for me. All L thoughts of that gigantic mortgage tied away, and within an hour a large and generous hag of pen mils rested at her | right hand as she worked the keys . oy.<i ;.ovc- eamo to me wit'; | ! ihe suddenness of snow sliding off th*? j j roof of a house. My mind \v;;s iu suck j j a wiiirl thai: night as i went homo j that I forgot to beat the oiuuluctor out j j of my fare, ai d I aciaaliy got up and j I oifv-rod an anai; riy sc.it. t i". ?. j said my moikev when she | saw; that my appelit<? was cone and I ! !!0 10!!liL* eared {:? be U UlVnt lltttJi, *"K !

[ did lit.t want to be saved. I want! ed to uo i< bed and dream of Sarah's jrold teeth, and wavy hair. The next i mornSiur there were jrumdrope vn her j typewriter. They w.-re from me. Sicame and waited for me at the sovi < nth lloer, an I as we wore ah ,;e f? ' i ' j a minute she playfully pinched my ! car and said: | "Summis. I don't see how any jrir! i can help falling lit love with you. i Some tla.c -.ou mav bn'rts: me a box of , . ' | chocolate ereams."' i She had them ore the stun went I ! clown, ;in<] tin? next movninir she had a j bouquet of roses which cost a plunk and a half. In return for tiiein she jrnve me a smile that displayed all her jrolden teeth clear back to 1be last one. I wanted to die for her that day to prove my love, but I was kept so busy in the elevator that I had 110 opportunity to throw myself from a winI <l(uv <?r send out after noison. I did tiki ke myself a hero, however. ' caught a district messenger boy loafiiicr <>n the ninth floor nnd walloped him until ho hollowed for mercy. Tor the next two weeks .-ill my salary wont for candy and peanuts and bou-jnei.s, and I !io(] iv> mv {rusting mother nvl told hor that I had to give it up for .-'IT pro c-'tiOii. C n wo oc'visivits v*rMU'<od ??: * '-dir 'e?r '.o* to i lunch and pay the shot, and I hud to borrow my street car fare home. It was after the second lunch that Mr. Rasher sent for me and said: "Saminis, there's a complaint that your elevator wabbles as you take people up and down. Are you losing your nerve?" "No, sir." - "Then be a little more careful. A wabbly elevator scares tenants out of the building." The Downfall of Hope. It was rny love for Sarah that wabbled the elevator, and I made up my mind that matters had reached a crisis. One noon when she pulled my ear and asked me to bang my hair for her sake I followed her into her room and laid my young and bursting heart at her feet. She laughed at me. With her mouth full of chocolate creams, bought with my cash, she laughed me to scorn. She lay back and laughed, she stood up and laughed, and when I had been crushed to earth she said: "Now, bubby, run along and get me a bunch of violets to wear to the theater tonight I am going with Mr. Driscoll." I went out of the room a frozen boy. All my confidence was destroyed in a moment. Never, never again could I believe in the integrity of woman. I sought my nome ana leu upon tne oea. I was doctored for fits, loss of memory, blood poisoning and maiaria. It was touch and go, but I rallied, and inside of a week I was able to return to my elevator. It is said that I look old and careworn and that it is easy to guess that I have a burden on my heart, but you watch my smoke. No girl can wreck my life and escape the penalty. I am laying for the faithless Sarah, and Fate is on her trail. She smiles as before when we meet, and her golden teeth gleam in the semidarkness of the cage, but there is no longer a responsive throb in the heart of Sammis, the elevator boy.
