A c'rl of twenty, whose red ant white complexion bespoke Irish blood atood before her mlstrea, fingering bel apron with evident embarrassment Why, MiinKie. w hat have I dmeT "Nothing, liilss." "Then why are you going to leavt me?" "Well, mlnathe truth Is why, miss I'm jiolng to 1m? married." "Oh. I see. Who are you going to murry, Millie?" "Jim iMohin, that works In the Alus worth factory." "The AIiih worth factory?" "Yes, miss." Margaret Etherldge, the girl's mis tress, wua Interested in the AluHwortb company us a stockholder and through Its president and manager, Hlchard Aluttwortu. "I'm sorry to lose you, Maggie," said Ml? Etherldge, "hut If you are going to he married, you can depend upon me to give you whatever you will need In the way of clothes, household llneu and other things, to enable you to set up housekeeping." "Thank you, miss." Maggie was married and went to lire with her husband la a small ault ot rooms,. Join's wages were not very large, but the couple made tlietn do very well till the first child came. when they were obliged to take a backward step fliniuclally by Incurring a considerable hill for medical attend ance. Then Jim was taken sick, and that increased the Indebtedness. Meanwhile Itkbnrd Alnsworth had been pressing an unsuccessful suit with Miss Etherldge. lie bud greatly Increased the output of the Alnsworth company since he took the manage ment, and to the book value of the stock SO per cent hud been added. In deed, ltl hard Alnsworth hud come to he considered one of the smartest young business men lu the state. But there were differences between him and Margaret Etherldge that prevent ed her from accepting him. Those business qimllfloatloua for which the world appluuded him did not apieul to her. She 'did not understand the ; methods by which that silent partner, capital, was made to absorb the lion's share of the prollts of a business. She saw the operatives men, women and children going to tho works early In the morning and, having worked hard all day, return lu the evening to their Rhnbby homes to repeat the process duy after day. The were working to pay divideuds on her stock, while she, who did nothing, lived in affluence. It neomed to her that there was some thing wrong. She appeuled to Hlchard Alnsworth for an explanation, but his explanations were not satisfactory. Ills reasons convinced her, but her heart, her sense of Justice, were un moved by them. "Why cuu't you pay your operatives enough to enable them to live more comfortably?" she asked Mr. Alns worth. "Because of competition." "Explain." "Other concerns would he able to undersell and we would be forced out of business." "Why not appropriate a portion of the dividends, which are enormous,, to the operatives?" 'Because of several reasons, the most pertinent of which Is that the stockholders would object." 'I am a stockholder. You may cut my dividends lu half, glylng one half to the operatives." 'You are one among hundreds; the rest. Instead of belug willing to give up their prollts, are howling for more. My dear Margaret, you don't under stand such things." "Does anybody understand them?" "Yes, one l'rovidence." One day Maggie loolan sent a piti ful mesauge to Margaret, scrawled In pencil ou a bit of paper, saying that she was 111, her husband was away at his work all day, the children had no one to take care of them, and Jim's wages were pledged for debts. Be sides this, there was nothing to eat In the house. Margaret immediately sal lied forth with a well filled purse and, stopping at the provision shops by the way, carried comfort to the distressed. As she was coming away, Jim came In with a rueful countenance and, throw ing himself Into a chair, dropped his head In hla arms on a table. "What Is it, Jim?" asked his wife lu a frightened tone. "The strike Is on," was the mournful reply. "Oh, heavens!" cried Maggie In dls f my. "What are the hands striking for?" asked Marguret Etherldge. "Ten per cent advunce all around." "And do you mean thut you will have no Income whatever till the mat ter Is settled?" "I do." "How much do yon earn?" "Twenty-one dollars a week." "Very well. Every weeklv pay day I will send you a check for that amount." Margaret left, leaving a relieved and thankful household behind her. The strike proved to be a prolonged one. One evening while It was In Blankets and Quilts Laundered in a thoroughly sanHuiy manner by the Hood River Laundry Co. Phono 123 progress Hlchard A Ins worth and Mar garet Etherldge wers sitting la bar home discussing the matter. "Why do you not giva tba men what they demand?" ah asked. . i "For a number of reasons first. If I do within six mouths they will fuaks . another demand, and so on until w, pay them so much that we can't man ufacture at a profit This will drtvs us out of business and them out of employment" "Why can't a compromise be effect ed?" ' i "The question la a difficult one to answer. If these men were repre sented by one of their own number a compromise might he effected. ' But they are represented by one or more persons whose interest I don't consider their lntereuL The questions between the laborer and the capitalist are those Lconstantly arising ttween partners In business. Whenever the Interests of persons and peoples are Intertwined there can only be loss to both In a want of harmony. When the capital ist is unjust to the laborer be In the long run Injures his business. When the laborer la excessive In bis demands upon the capitalist be Injures the busi ness In which he Is a partner." Alnsworth had scarcely spoken the last word w hen there was evidence of a commotion without - Borne one cried: "Hurrah for the strike sympathizer!" Alnsworth and Margaret looked at each other wonderlngly. "Where's the leddy? Come out!" There was a ring at the door belL Margaret hose to answer toe sum mons herself. A workman stood at the door, who, pulling respectfully the rim of his tattered bat, said to her: , 'There's a lot of us here, miss, that hearln' ye have - contributed to the strikers' fund by paying Jim Doolan's family his weekly wigsa, have come to thank ye. -Would ye mind sbowln' yourself on the porch?" Margaret went out and saw a crowd of upturned faces," lighted only by . a street lamp. m 'Three cheers for the leddy srrtkt sympathizer!" cried the man who had brought her out The cheers were gives with a will,' and when -quiet was restored Mar garet said: "I can't say exactly that I am a strike sympathiser, but 1 can say that lama sympathiser with you and your families. I am a stockholder In the Alnsworth company, and If by throw Ing off all my dividends except what ' I need to keep body and soul together : I could end this strike I would do so." "Good for you!" . "Let the other stockholders do the same!'' i'For Uod's sake, end It!" "How would you Ilk to make me your representative to confer In your name with the management of the Alnsworth company with a view to a compromise?" "Bully!" "do ahead!" "Do't!" Margaret's Introducer held up his hand for silence and said: "All la favor of Miss Etherldge rep resenting us aay aye." There was a wild shout of ayes. No noes were called for or given. "Very well," said Margaret. "Tomor row morning at 10 o'clock I will be ready to. receive a committee of men who are workers, men who have been supporting their families by their la bor in the works of the Alnsworth eoinpauy. Don't send any one else. If you do I shall -decline to act for you." She withdrew, followed by wild shouts from laborers delighted t with the novel plan of endeavoring to secure their demauds through a stockholder and a woman. In ten minutes more the neighborhood was deserted. The next morning Hlchard Alns worth was at Margaret's home some time before the appearance of the com mittee and was shown Into a room by himself, ready to decide upon any proposition that might be made. - When the committee arrived they were plac ed lu the drawing room. Margaret en tered and said: "Make your demand." "Our only demand," replied the spokesman, "la for 10 per cent ad vance." "If the raise la granted, how long before a demand will be made for an other raise?" The committee conferred and finally agreed to pledge themselves- that no new demand should be made within two years. "How is the management of the com pany to be assured that you will keep this pledger. After another consultation the spokes man aald, "Every operative will sign a wrltteu pledge to you, and you can give your word -to the management" "Very well. Walt here." Withdrawing, Margaret went Into the room occupied by the manager and made him the proposition. Now Hlchard Alnsworth . had a shrewd head In more ways than one. He could see an opportunity when It presented Itself, and he saw one now. "Margaret," he said, "the terms are accepted on one condition." "What la Itr "That you make an additional pledge." "What pledger "To become my wife." Margaret was not ready to give a definite answer. .. She tried to. aatlsfy him with an evasion. All to no pur pose. He stood firm as a rock. Either the stipulation -must be introduced Into the agreement or the strike must go on. Finally she put vaX her hand and turned away her face. Alnsworth took the hand and sealed the contract with a kiss. That night there was a demonstra tion about Margaret Ethertdge's borne, and nothing would satisfy the demon stration eu'ept carrying theJr repre tentatlves In a chair on their shoul ders around the factory, and home again.
