need be scarcely wondered at, for the
question upon which she was pondering

so far as could be judged, was good
match for the heiress, Nothing to his
prejudice had come 10 the ears of Miss
Vernon until the day before. A poor
woman had come 10 the door in evident
poverty, and asked for relief. On being
questioned, she said that she had been
employed in making shirts at twelve
cents apiece for wholesale dealers--tbat
after making dozen and carrying them
to the store, she had been roughly told
that they were quite spoiled and that
nothing would be paid her for her work !;
but that she might have more, if she
would agree to make them better. She
added that this was one of the small
ways in which the firm made money ont
OF poor women, by pretending that their
work was unsatisfactory done, when
really no fault could reasonably be
found.
The sum, small as it was, Of which
she had been defrauded, was all impor.
tant to her, as il represented nearly a
weeks work.
"Only dollar and forty y-four cents

Vernon, in dismay.

"How, then, do you liver" 1
at can hardly be called living. It's
just barely keeping body and soul to-

"And who is this extortioner that
