God bless you, Ruth Warneford"
The girl understood that it was her
brother-he who was gone-whom
Mr.. Baldwin had once loved, and she
went away shamefaced. So that the
shadow of this crime rested upon
many hearts. The wreck of one poor
human ship upon the ocean of life
somehow drags down with il so many
others; the sudden storm in which
George Warneford went down disabled
half dozen gallant craft.
So Ruth Warneford became visit

America Square would not at first
sight appear to offer the most desirable
opening for such profession. But
then if your ambition is bounded by
the sum of eighteen pence an hour at
the outside; if you do not mind trudg-
ing a mile or two from house to house;
If you are ready to begin work Mt
eight, and to leave off at six; if you do
not look for pupils more genteel than
the children of respectable tradesmen;
and if you have youth and hope-you
may find America Square by no means
a bad place as a base Of operations.
Ruth not only toiled all day when
clients came, but, when business was
slack, filled up her time by teaching
the younger members of the Lemire
family; and the earnings of the girl
were useful, and helped out the in

not been for Ruth, the dinner of soup
and vegetables must often have been
exchanged for the dinner of dry bread;
for times were growing very hard with
the professor. A dreary life for the
girl. hard work from morning till
night; and yet she endured it, and
was happy. She had no holidays, and
never went any where: still she was
happy-happy until one day came
which shattered her little Castle of
Delight.
