out, and wrapped about with sheets
we reclined or sat on the cotton bales
that lined the sides of the ships deck.
The men we're all dressed in white, the
smoke stacks were painted white and
inverted, giving forth no sound, and
consuming their own smoke. No word
was spoken on the ship.
Thus, without sound, and seemingly
without visible motion, she glided
through the waters like a bird on the
wing. She was an illusion to the ma
terial senses-a phantom; we on board
seemed spectres. silently but recklessly
laughing in the face of death. Faster,
faster glided the toy ship; nearer
nearer grew the great red light. It
seemed to me we must run into it. I
sat motioniess beside Captain Reid on

that impending death was on either
side, the visible risk of it ahead. Sud

Mabel, Esther Lynn, for it was she,

sobbed, Il heard 1t all, every cruel
word, and you were SO goodl never
meant to listen, but it was my hour for
practice, and the girls were, speaking
excitedly. Hearing my own name
mentioned, curiosity led me to listen.
Mable, your noble defense proved you
a friend indeed, and one in whom I
can confide. When Miss Langdon
chose me queen I felt honored, little
dreaming my faded dress would be an
objection. It is dingy, I know, and
perhaps does resemble a discarded uni
form, but oh, Mabel, if they only knew
how painful it is for me to wear itSun-
day after Sunday-and yet gratitude
and love for the dear ones who are
denying themselves even the comforts
of life to keep me here, forbid my ask
ing a new one. I shall resign, Mabel,
you must take my resignation to them
and spare me the pain of a personal
interview"
Mabel raised the tear stained face
and kissed it tenderly.
Brave, noble, self-sacrificing girl.
God will reward your devotion to
loved mes in His own good time. IN
like human beings, He looks beneath
the dress, down into the heart and
judges our actions by the motives
which prompt them. Beneath the
dingiest garb He often finds the truest,
grandest hearth
Meeting Helen Hope, half an hour
later Mabel placed Esther's resignation
in her hands. There was general re-
joiciag among the girls, and the next
day Helen was elected to the coveted
position of honor so lately vacated by
the charity pupil, Esther Lynn.
