Steeplejack; * : ? i A 1 N * ?TT M ?W | MAnd a Uirl Who Was aj !; Clever Schemer. > I i ? 5! By F. A. MITCHEL 3 I 5 I used to be a steeplejack. c Now, I'll admit that a steeplejack j is a very unique individual. We i 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 steeplejack is very attractive to a crowd he is a constant source of J worry to his own family, who don't j know when his mangled body may , be brought to his home on a stretchi er or in a wagon. Taking him altogether, a steeplejack is not a desirable member of a family. That was the reason why Mr. ? T _.1 J l.:? -fl- L ? jl/o y ib, wucii i a?is.t;u mm lur uia j daughter, Molly, turned, faced me | j squarely and said impressively: L: "Yes, you may have Mollv when [ I she will marry you, each one of you ! swinging 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 can't have Molly at all and because I am a steeplejack. Do you deny, sir, t that a steeplejack has a heart the : same as any man ?" "I'm not interested in steepleI jacks' hearts. I don't propose that my daughter shall marry a man out i rtf wVi/vm cVin r>an nowr arof mnw ' than a bare living except by insur> ing his life." "H'm!" I replied to this thoughtfully. "Xot a bad scheme. Now, suppose"? "You get out of here. I have : something else to attend to than - j listening to- airy schemes for my daughter's betterment. Gtad morning, sir." | Being thus cruelly choked off, I 11 left him crestfallen. I thought it j1 very hard that he wouldn't even ' permit me to propose my plan, though I'll 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 I 1 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, where| upon she threw her arms about my neck, exclaiming: , "Stupid, get that woeful look off j i your face." Molly laughed again. : "Seriously," she said, "did father j ! say you could have me when I was , willing to marry you swinging from 1 the cross of St. Thomas' ?" "Yes, he did." "Then that's tlie way we must be j married. Grandma left me $20,000, ( ! but I'm not to have it without fa- j theirs consent when I marry. Were ' there any witnesses present when I he said this?" i ' 'There was some one in the next j_ room, but I don't know who." "111 find out. I've got to become a steeplejack like you. That ; is to say, I've got to learn to climb ; 1 steeples. I must get such control j J of myself that I can go up to the | cross of St. Thomas' and hang there ! long enougli to be married." 1 "Nonsense!" I exclaimed. 1 "No nonsense about it if I'm to ! . marry you. I know father well j , enough to be sure that if he says a j thing he'll stick to it. He has said, t or implied, that he will only give his consent to our marriage under ! certain conditions, which he meant t for a refusal. But in law, if the j n/Mn^itinnc aw fulfilled, liis consent . , has been given." ? "How do you know that ?" "I don't, but I can ask a lawyer, ; can't I?" "But, good gracious, you can't . learn to climb steeples. One must \ be born with a head for that; they ; say a steeplejack has absolutely per' feet eyes." "Well, can't you hoist me up there at the end of a rope with a ; bag over my eyes ?" I thought for some time before answering this question. At last I * said, "I don't know but I might." , "Come in tomorrow. Meanwhile 1 I'll find out if we have a witness to father's conditional consent." "But I've boon dismissed." "That does not matter. Father 'knows that I do as 1 please. He is k aware that his only hold on me is that his consent to mv marriage is ' necessary to my getting my legacy. And he's pretty sure I won't give 1 up $20,000 for a steepleiack, and a 1 very simple one at that. Her last words cut me to the heart, but she put her arms around : my 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 couldn't climb steeples as I . 1 could. The next day I went to boo 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 - ? -i -# ?i _J. _i Li j account 01 wnat sne naa uone, "we've got father just where we want him." A few days later I received a note from her saying that she had made an arrangement to visit a cousin in X., a neighboring town, where there were several churches, all with steeples. She told me to meet her there with climbing tackle and she would take her first lesson. I put my ropes and pulleys in a baggage car and went with them to X. I found Molly in gymnasium costume. She fiad taken prizes in gymnastics, and she said she would go right out and 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 window midway up tne steeple, fixed another beam, and this time pulled her up from below, and she got in at the window. I was surprised that she didn't wince. But, as I've said, there's a lot of "sand" in Molly. Before we had finished the first lesson 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 steeplejack's head as well as I. This was valuable preparation, but the height was only 140 feet, , while St. Thomas' was 250. Bnt Molly said that if she could hang 14u feet above ground with her eyes open she could hang 250 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 $20,000, too, or on account of having demonstrated her ability to climb. "Molly," I said, "it seems to me t nlaooori af tho lltttL \UUiC llllgiujf yitootu u> >uv prospect of getting a man who is nothing but a steeplejack.** . "Don't be silly, Jim/' said Molly. "You will not always be a steeplejack. You have real ability and all you need is a chance to develop it That chance you are going to have with mv help. I know you are a true man." That comforted me awfully. We went back home. I told Molly that she must continue her climb- , ing in order to keep her head at great heights. She said "All right," but didn't 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 didn't see anything unusual in her appearance, which surprised me when she told me whv she wished to see me. And - ? o rr what do you suppose it was: ner father had heard of her climbing and, very much astonished and angered, asked her what it meant* whereupon she told him her scheme. He fumed and fretted for a whole day, then gave in. But he insisted on mv leaving the steeplejack trade and going into business with him. "Well, now," I said, overjoyed, "isn't it fine that you won't have to climb St. Thomas'?" "Nonsense. I never intended to climb it." "You didn't?" "No; I contrived that father should hear of what I was doing, and I knew it would bring him round without that." We've been married five years now, and, though I am in business and quite successful, I think sometimes in some things that my wife is my superior. I'm more used to "going up in the air" than she. The Liar's Mound. Dyaks, natives of Borneo, are extremely truthful. So disgraceful, indeed, do the Dyaks consider the deceiving of others by an untruth that such conduct is handed down to posterity by a curious custom. They heap up a pile of the branches of trees in memory of the man who has uttered a great lie so that the future generations may know of his wickedness and take warning from it. The persons deceived start the "tugong bula"?the liar's mound? by heaping a large number of branches in some conspicuous spot by the side of the path from one village to another. Every passerby contributes to it and at the same time curses the man in memory of whom it is. The Dvaks consider the adding to anv tugong bula they may pass a sacred duty, the omission of which will meet with supernatural punishment. i
