fathers name; she was only the woman
who meant to men hours of pleasure, in
tellectual or physical, and she was the
woman who could be forgotten, or cast OF
to suit the caprice of her master. Some
times she mastered him, but not for long.
Her reign has invariably been short
one; and she has always found that the
wages of sin were death. Not just the
mere dying; that is nothing; but the
being forgotten while still alive; the loss
of beauty and wealth, and the having to
solicit as beggar where she once was a
giver.
Bah HELPS AN ABANDONED WOMAN.
Not long ago, crossing Broadway close
to midnight, as | was coming from the
theater, from out of the dark side street
there stepped a woman who touched me
ON the arm; the man who was with me
did not wish me to stop, but would. She
told me she was hungry; and when
asked her more she told me that she was
90 years old; that she knew death wasn't
very far from her, and that she had been
driven out of the house in which she had
lived because she was no longer an attrac-
ton because her hollow eyes and her
awful cough Disguised men. The man
who was with me gave her some money,
and told her TO meet me next day at
place where l knew she would be taken

Next day found her there, and in lit
tie while the good sister had her in
comfortable bed, and she was to be cared
for, poor soul, as long as she lived, which,
by-the-by, was only four weeks after l
first met her.

that all she realized was that she had
quiet life, some people about her who
were friendly to her, and that at the last,
when death came, she sank into a gentle
sleep, from which she never awakened.
When she was dead her youth came back
to her, and she looked as sweet and as
pure as did your daughter, madam, when
she died last year. And I, who stood by
her bedside, could only wonder what
would be Gods judgment on the other
woman. / have talked very much with
the sister to whom l took her, gentle,
practical woman, who sees and hears OF
the worst side of life, and whose daily
work is among the other women, not in
their prosperity. not when they are well
and wealthy, but when they are i'll and
poor and forsaken. And what she has
told me is what l am going to tell you.
WOMEN WHO LOVE AND BELIEVE MUCH.
The other woman oftenest comes from
small villages: she is seldom the product
of large cities. Sometimes she brings
about her ruin for love of dress; from
desire for luxury and greed for gold and
what it will give her. Where she gets
this knowledge of luxury, inasmuch as
her own people usually live very simple
life, is unknown; sometimes from read
ing silly books, but oftener from some far
off ancestor
Sometimes she joins the ranks Of the
other women because she has loved and
believed too much, and, frightened and
ashamed, and not knowing where to go,
she comes to the great city to hide her
self. and finds soon that what she first
