looked to her to bolster them up whenever
they needed an extra backbone in things
material or things spiritual.
After the old folks died she found the FAM
lily exchequer in a topsy-turvy condition,
which she never would have believed Titus
could tolerate, so she came up to Chicago and
took position at $40 week, and set about
laying up enough money out of that salary to
pay off an Indebtedness of $780, That prom
ised to be a mission that would stick to her
for awhile.
She wasn't young woman, by any means.
Her hair was pretty well silvered. and it
wouldn't be safe to try to calculate with any
pretensions to accuracy just how many fine
lines there were composing the network over
her forehead and which branched out from
the corners of her eyes. But they were not
all indicative of age.
Once she had been led to believe that her
destiny lay in the common lot Of women and
as an ending to one OF her pretty little ro-
mances she married. Two months later she
learned that the man to whom she had ex-
pected to play the part Of ministering angel

sincere compassion. At that time she COM
menced to learn what missionary work
really is.
One sultry July night Miss Tits stood be-
fore hel mirror and admiringly brushed out
her long, silver-bespangled locks, for she
was very proud of her hair, was Miss Titus,
when there came a hurried tap at the door
and the landlady whispered excitedly through
the keyhole.
.'There's a man out here wants to speak to
you. He's been drinking, but he won't go
away without you. Will you see him?"
sTell him I'll be there in minute,' Miss
Titus answered, with her accustomed prompt
ness. She quickly coiled her heavy hair into
place and went out into the hall.
''It's woman wants you," the man said,
stepping forward. ''She's just come here
and she's sick. Some of the women thought
mebbe she wouldn't live the night out and
they said it would be the proper thing if you
would come and say few words to her. l

understand you. It's pretty tough asking
you to go this time o night" BE- added, sPolo-

all her life had wife and three children in
an Eastern city, and that ended that chapter
of her life.
The man went away unpunished. She told
her father that no one had a right to bring
proceedings against him but herself and that
nothing in the woIli could ever compel her
to harm him, either by word or deed. So
she took Off his ring, resumed her maiden
name and, in spite of peoples predictions
that it would kill her, she kept on living with
more determination than ever. She was only
eighteen then and people do not die easily,
after all.
For awhile after coming to Chicago the ex-
ira work which she undertook in order that
she might pay off her debt occupied her time
pretty much to the exclusion of those tender
ministrations which had formerly constituted
the greatest happiness of her seif-sacrificing
life. The dusty. musty papers which she
sorted out were not particularly sensitive to
any affectionate little pats and endearing
phrases which she might bestow upon them
and had she been inclined to make up to the
ovsrseer he was apparently such an inanimate

TO care for them, so she generally had her
hands full. The only trouble was her mis-
sions were all transitory, will-o'-the-
nature-nov she had them and now she
hadn't.
So long as she remained at home in the
country the charges who crept under her pro-
tecting wing were so many and OF such varied
assortments that they even told one another
that Miss Titus was imposed upon. She had
her father and grandfather and innumerable
aunts and cousins TO patch for and darn for
and cook for, while the entire community

Miss Titus took it. One glance at the words

that her surmises were correct. 1t was his

such tragic manner, and prayed to see her

satisfying results as the cracking papers.
Her lend-a-hand propensities found safe
outlet, however, shortly after she became
thoroughly identified with the Y Presbyterian
Church next door to her boarding-bouse.
There was genuine rescue mission down
in the slums, supported by the well-to-do con-
gregation, and rs soon as she gained some
idea of the scope of the work she plunged into
it heart and soul. 1t didn't take the promot-
ers of the laudable enterprise long to gauge
her abilities in that direction pretty accu-
rately, and the upshot of the matter was she
quit handling specifications and contracts and
became a saIaried missionary. Step by step
she was reaching her goal.
1t was hard work, but she was living
wholly for somebody else, and she gloried in
it. There had been time when she would

man, or stick her fingers in her ears to shut
out the unbridled utterances of vicious boy,

evils and could even offer assistance to reel
