"church work, )" managing an orphan
asylum and dispensing thesort of cheap
charity INDUCED in by the class known
to the rural press as "our charitable
ladies'" She thoroughly believed the
social dogma that heaven invented
poverty for the editicatiOn, not to say
glorifcatiOn, Of the upper classes;
and, regarding the scriptural remark
"The poor ye have always with YOU
as a positive command, it was, in her
opinion, the rankest blasphemy to talk
of abolishing poverty. She had good
heart as society hearts go, but conven-
tiOnality had rendered it rudimentary.
She would have been an infidel had she
supposed for moment that the AL
mighty considered himself the father of
the lower classes in the same sense as
Of people in good society. She was
neither beautiful nor young; but he
would have been daring wretch in
deed who would have allowed her to
suspect he doubted she was both. Mrs.
DIR. Darlington was as digniiied as dull
people usually are, and with frigid
smiles gave her little senate laws"
which it did not dare disregard.
DIR. Darlington himself was rather
handsome. He was also a man of good
intellect, was well educated, and had
cordial manner and a frank, good
hearted air about him which did his
patients more good than his prescrip-
tions, and made everybody in the city
his friend. He went but rarely into So
ciety, and never entered the opera
house to witness theatrical perform
ance, except when Mrs. Darlington was
out of the city. Although naturally
liberal minded and tolerant in religion,
he had never thought on theological
subjects, and so believed his church
creed, as does many a busy man, be-
cause he had been brought up that way
and it had never occurred to him that
church creeds could be debated. He
had heard in general way Of the ex-
stence of such persons as IngersOlla and
and his preacher had some
times alluded to Paine and VOltaire;

and as he was too poor to send her
there, he had reluctantly consented
that she might go to the city and "work
out" in order to earn enough to enable
her to study the common branches and
become country school teacher, with
the hope Of saving, in the latter occu-
patton, money sufficient to carry out
her ambitious project of acquiring a
college education. This distant hope
was very real to Kate, and enabled her
to bear the notifications she had to
endure in the Darlington home. Not,
however, without much smOthered in
dignation and many tear; for she was
not only sensitive, as people of mental
temperament are wont to be, but she
instinctively felt her natural superior
ity to the woman whose submissive
slave she was forced to be.
Kate had a warm, loving, girlish
heart, as well as a bright mind, and,
with her intelligent, gentle and mobile
face, her jet black hair and eyes, rich
complexion, full red lips and perfect
figure, she was the most beautiful girl,
in or out Of society, to be met with in
Golden. Whether she was aware of
this |, Of course, am unable to say; but
she was young girl, and there were
mirrors in the Darlington house. Her
manners, too, were lady like and win
ming much more so than those of the
society young women who ignored her
existence. There were times, when she
had grown very weary, that she was
disposed to give up her project, for the
way seemed so long, the struggle so
hard; but she always conquered the
weakness and persevered toward the
college goal by the country school
house route.
One day an event occurred which
changed this program somewhat. AS
she was on her knees scrubbing the
floor of the front porch (fOr Mrs. DIR.
Darlington was an almost fendishly
clean hOuse-keeper) a runaway team
came tearing down the street, and all
Golden was out seeking to calm the
frightened horses by running before
them and behind them with a multi
plicity Of yells and insane gesticula-
tions. Every dog in the town was hav.
ing his day, and the "hoodlums'' were
in ecstacy. In point of exciting inter
est and of general diffusion of per.
sonal Importance, nothing but a fire
can compare with a runaway. If the
reader has never been present at such
an entertainment in city like Golden,
no amount of description could give
him a just conception of the spectacle.
Kate grew faint with horror, as, hear
ing the clatter, she looked up and be-
held the terrible sight which greeted
her sympathetic eyes. An old man was
being dragged face downward over the
str eet, his right leg having become

but beyond the vague notion that they
were "infdelS," he had not the slight
est apprehension of their views. Nor
did he care to inquire about such mat
ters. He was too busy making money
and gathering it in to waste any time
on trihes. In short, he was an average
good-natured, selfish man; physically
vigorous and industrious, but mentally
and morally indolent.
About six months previous to the
Opening of our narrative, Kate COtter-
ell, farmers daughter, had entered
the Darlington household as a domes-
tic. Her business was to help in the
kitchen, wait on the table and act as
nurse for the infant Darlington heir.
During that six months her mistress

been limited to giving orders and find

I"familiarity breeds contempt" lin which
there was in her case deep wisdom, per-
'haps), and was firmly of the opinion
that servants must be made to know
their place" However, she paid fairly
good wages and her help was well
housed and fed. One point which she
had frequent occasion to impress upon
Kate was that servant was not eX-
pected to have literary leanings but
lcaS expected to let the books in the
library alone, as well as the periodicals
which sometimes found their way into
the house. Mrs. Darlington herself OBJ
served this precept. she did not med
die with books, nor with any but
fashion" periodicals. She had not the
slightest knowledge, nor had the doc
tor, what the library contained. A
book seller had supplied" it in gross,
and not single accession had been
made to it since. But the bindings
were all fine, and library helps "set
off, house. Why should a mere ser
want, and she a common farmers
daughter only sixteen years old, wish
to NEEDLE with books? She mightruin
the bindings, or worse still, might lose
4 valuable volume and be unable TO re-
place it. But Kate had an Unsuitable
thirst for knowledge which had never
been gratified at home; and the prox-
unity of "a whole library" which
really contained an excellent selection,
was temptation too great for effective
resistance. Books were stealthily taken
up stairs in day time and concealed un-
Ter her pillow for use at night. They
we're not missed, Of course, but Kate
would get incautiOus at times and be
,aught in the very act of taking a book

would be sternly reiterated.
