bottle. 1 felt better the next month so
I took three more bottles of it and got
well so I could work all the time. I
hope every woman who suffers like 1 did
will try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable

who have been troubled with such ail

Ellen Hargrave stood at the little
window of her unpnlnted pine shack
and twisted together slim lingers that
bespoke her former station In life.
The coarse blue tlnnnel shirt nnd
short skirt told plainly enough that her
lot these days was "roughing it”
Outside the sight which greeted her
half tragic eyes was drenr to the point
of desolation.
As she looked the door of the power
bouse opened nnd a tall man came out,
swinging up the path to the cabin with
the rhythm of youth and health.
“Hello, Miss Prettyface," he laughed.
"How's dinner?’
She did not answer and turned to the
well laid table, pouring the tea with
shaking fingers.
Presently the man noticed the look
of her eyes, and his face sobered.
“What's the matter?” he asked. “Blue
again?”
For answer she turned suddenly
away, pressed hard by a flood of tears
that clamored for escape.
When she could command herself she
turned to Mm, though her lips quiv
ered.
"Jim.” she said, simply, "If you don’t
give up this work and go back to the
world I shall go mad. I could tear
these hills to pieces! And 1 hate that
monster down there." She glanced at
the power house. "It menaces me.
And I hate the river.”
The man’s face saddened, and n line
of perplexity came between his brows.
"Ellen.” he said, “I'm sorry—sorry
that you feel like this—and If you can
not change I will give It up, though
I wish you could learn to see it all as
I see It Why, I love It all—the bills,
the river with Its uncounted strength,
the power house there with its mag
nificent tasks of labor. Its glorious
serving of man. the very towns and
cities that you love so much. 1 am
happy here, dear. If only you could
be! It’s great work.
“Think It over, honey,” be whispered
as he kissed her to return to his shift
“Don’t you want to come down and
stay with me awhile this afternoon?
Charlie Is going over to the settlement
How that chap manages Tor sleep 1
don't know.”
It was 3 o’clock of a rainy after
noon before she could bring herself to
bathe her swollen face, wrap up in a
waterproof and go down the crooked
path to the power bouse, crouching
low and ugly beside the river.
As she crossed the railed approach
above the flood gates the deep throat
ed hum of the dynamos struck bet
ear, and she shuddered involuntarily.
The constant menace of that stored
death was always before her—the aw'
ful power whose lightest touch meant
eternity appalled her.
She was thinking In this shrinking
strain ns she opened the door.
As they always did, her eyes swept
swiftly over every bit of the wide
open space in the center of the build
ing for Jim.
Now, as she looked In growing fear,
the door of the telephone booth, a little
room set up on a waist high platform
to the right, flew open and Jim turn
bled out literally, bis face gone white
and horror in bis eyes.
“Jim!” screamed Ellen shrilly.
At the sudden cry the man essayed
to turn sharply as he reached for the
flight of shallow steps leading to the
floor, missed his footing and went
down straight from the platform on
his right knee, the foreleg bent buck,
with the toe caught on the platform’s
edge.
There was a report as of a cracked
plank ubove the bum, and she reached
him to see the foot fall useless.
“Broken, by George!” gritted the
man. “And there’s been a bud (lisas
ter at the Black Drift mine—eave-ln—
thirty men entombed—and—they want
—power—power.
"Ellen—they must have all the pow
er we’ve got—extra drills—air com'
pressed—more hoists! Oh, my Godl
And. I can’t get there!"
His wife covered her eyes with her
bands, and horror shut off her breath.
When she looked again Jim lay In a
limp heap—fainted—out of the running
—done for!
And thirty men In the Black Drift
mine waiting for air!
She drew herself np slowly, her body
weak and a mist Jn her eyes.
As she stood so the bell in the booth
rang madly, and she dragged herself
up the steps, numb and slow.
"Hargrave?" cried a man’s hoarse
voice. “For God's sake turn the pow
er on! Hurry! We’ve got on all the
drills, but they’re working slow.
“For the love of God, man, give us
all the power you’ve got! Cut off ev
erything in Bnrtell City and ulong the
lines and let us have it all!”
He shut off abruptly, dropping the
receiver, and Ellen Hargrave came
out of the booth wringing her haDds.
What should she do? What could
she do?
Then suddenly she straightened, took
her hands from her face and crept
down the steps.
Air! Her own throat was choking.
But she must do what Jim would have
doDe—she must handle the monster.

At the oast loomed up the red streak
ed marble face of the great switch-
hoard, glittering with brass and cop
per switches, big and little.
To her right Nos. 1 and 2 sang their
constant high pitched song of power;
over beyond the booth 3 and 4 stood
in sinister silence.
Along the western wall run n narrow
spuce leading out to the little room
ubove the traveling ropes nnd the tur
bines.
Here the governor stood.
Here wus the power the Blnek Drift
needed to force the life giving drills—
nnd she alone to handle It, shaking in
deadly fear!
She shut her hunds hard nnd gather
ed her forces, cleared her mind desper-
utely.
What was It Jim did first when he
cut in the other machines?
She had followed him so often In the
monotony of the dull hours that she
knew every motion.
But where did be begin? And the
flynchronlzlng!
She nearly fainted at the appalling
thought of the delicate operation at the
switchbourd after the dynamos were
started.
Could she throw the big copper
switch Just at the proper fraction of a
second?
Or would her eye and band fall and
knock out the circuit breaker, thereby
wrecking all hope?
She cowered against the cement wall,
staring out at the empty room.'
Then, fearfully, she gathered up her
trembling limbs and walked out to the
shining governor.
Instinctively, not trusting her brain,
she opened the valve on the governor.
Instantly she enught the low roar of
the opened turbine gates, saw the gov
ernor begin to whirl, beard the thun
der of the great turbine In the depths
below, and her heart leaped In her
throat
Steady now!
What did Jim do next, where had
she followed him from here?
Again following Instinct she went
back through the passage.
She stopped at the small hooded gen
erator beside No. 3.
it was beginning its own little tune.
From there she went as one In a
dream, softly, following Jim on other
journeys and threw the exciter switch.
By now Nos. 3 and 4 were whirl
ing under their hoods, giving out a
strange, menacing note that rose stead
ily, an exciting, terrible note.
She stood wide eyed and watched
the power her bund had loosed roar
up to its zenith. The trembling was
gone out of her limbs.
In Its stead she felt something strong
rising within her, an excitement bor
rowed from the dynamos, a crazy Joy
—a triumph 1
She ran, wavering a bit under the
strain, to the switchbourd and switch
ed on the synchronizing lights, two
small bulbs lu the front of the marble
face.
One lighted aid went out, lighted
and went out. In perfect regulated
time, like the piny of a pendulum.
That stood I'or 1 and 2, harnessed
and obedient, already working like will
ing giants.
The other was slower, its beat cross
ing and falling behind and overstep
ping the step of the other. That was
3 and 4 coming up to the pace.
Steadily the second light gained on
the first
Now It was only a hair's breadth be
hind: now It was So near as to be
scarce perceptibly slower; now It light
ed anil went out tu unison with the
other
Tense, steady, she watched a second
longer, gauging the lights, Now they
were at the zenith. Now they went
down and out. Now—now—just before
they reached the zenith again—
Click!
Strongly silo pushed the big switch
down —and let our her bursting breath
Bight! Nothing had happened!
The four black monsters were work
log together mightily, tilling the power
house with their awful humming.
Staggering and laughing, she went
and switched off all the current from
Bartell C'lt.v and the valley towns.
She got rlie Black Drift on the tele

Jim Hnrgruve up the crooked path to
the shuck beneath the pine the woman
turned from the stretcher's head and
looked back at the river, the hills and
the ugly jiower house beside Its dam.
It was a whole new country to her
misty eyes, nnd all its bitterness was
swept away ns by n mighty wind.
The world had changed since noon!
“Jim.” she said In the quiet night,
“let’s build another room on the cabin.
I think I want to stay."
