CHAPTER XIX.

The boarding house 10 which she was
directed by the lady manager was fur
nished chiefly with Illuminated Scripture
texts, framed with autumn leaves The
parlor floor was covered with red and
black ingram carpet Of vaguely ecclesi-
astical aspect, and ON the white plaster
ed walls there were besides the texts
crudely engraved portraits Of Wesley,
Luther and some Methodist bishops in
black walnut frames. the gaunt angu-
larity Of which made the eyes ache.
There was piano, on the top Of which
lay pile of well worn Bibles and hymn
books It looked TO Hulda as if it were
cold, and in fact the whole room struck
q chill to her heart She had never IN
peF li,s seen anything so disnally
dreary, Uncomfortable. unhomelike The
glaring whiteness Of the walls. even
though slightly relieved by Luther and
the bishops. made her shiyer. and the
heap Of camp chairs. which she observed
piled up under table in the hall, stimu-
lated uncomfortable speculations as tc
their use and purpose.
A tall, gaunt specialized and appall
lngly angular woman Of 45 or 90 enter
ed the room with smile Of professional
bepeyolence on her face and gave Huldl
a limp and long hand 10 shake ShI
wore long. faded black gown and noise
less felt slippers.

beds and fresh linen, or rather for the
beautiful, well ordered domesticity
which these things typify. The feeling
Of misrepresenting herself and her So
cial position which had tormented her
since leaving home returned to her now
with renewed force She perceived by a
certain kindly toleration on the part of
the proprietress of the shop that she was
indeed moved by her misfortune. but did
not realize in the least that she was not
a subject for condescension. And even
TO the noblest there is sting in such
reversal of wonted conventions.
Perhaps you would kindly give me
u cup of coffee and some rollsl' she
said as her mind adjusted itself TO the
situation. I'm pay you in advance, if
you like" she added, swallowing her
humiliation as she observed hardening
Of the lines in the womans face, pre-
pairing her for a refusal
1t was almost amusing TO see how
swiftly her frown changed into smile
(you fancied you could hear the creak-
ing Of her facial muscles) when Hulda
placed So bill upon the counter. Jo-
hanna presently brought the coffee and
dropped o very pretty courtesy as she
deposited the tray in front Of her Gus
toner Fresh bread, delicious butter and
cold tongue were also served, and Hulda
ate all with a lugubrious, half guilty
relish, aud felt her strength reyiying.
At the end Of an hour she set out once
more ON her wanderings, after hayi 2
received full instructions regarding 's
locality Of the Young Woman's Chr s.

the table.
As she was herself unable 70 cat any
thing but the bread. and oven that was
doughy, she had an excellent opportunity
to observe the girls, whose collective
character began 70 impress her What
could they all be, these salloy, grace
less, undcrfed creatures? Not one face
could she detect among the 30 or 30
confronting her which exhibited o nat
ural gayety Of youth, sunny pleasure
in living or a normal vitality. Though
a few were fairly plump, it Yves not the
rosy plumpness of health, but rather G
pallid, waxen chubbiness which was
unpleasant to look at They were nearly
all unnaturally constrained and hushed
in their demeanor, as if they were striv-
ing to conform 20 a code of etiquette
which was not natural to them
''What do all these girls do, and why
are they all horeg" Hulda asked her now
friend, for it struck her all of a sudden
that there was something uncanny
about them all and that sho herself
must present a glaring contrast
"What are they here for?' repeated
Hattie, half contemptuously. "Why,
because they are poor, | guess; they've
got to make their own living aud they
can't afford anything better -
And what do they do for a living?
Lots of things. Some are typewrit-
ers like me; some are stenographors
some take in sewing or work in big fac
tories, but most of them, guess are
shopgirls.
II was a great relief to Hulda when
the meal was at an end, Tor, though she
was not easily embarrassed, the contin
ual staring to which she was subjected
could not help making her little over
conscious But to her dismay the ma.
tron beckoned to her as she was about
TO make her escape with Hattie, and
with her sweetest Y. w. G. A. smil,
begged her to remain.
1--WE have the pleasant habit, - she
said, punctuating her sentences with
sighs, "of gathering in the parlor after
dinner, singing hymns. This evening
we are so fortunate as TO have with II,

returned from Turkey, where he has
been spreading the gospel Of Christ HC

She was now so faint from excite
ment, hunger and fatigue that her vision
seemed blurred, and the earth grew un-
steady under her feet She strove by
sheer will power TO overcome the sink
ing sensation which every now and
then compelled her to stop and grasp
hold of gaspost lest she fall and be
trampled down. She could not afford TO
be weak now within sight of the goal.
With clinched teeth and hands convul-
sively clasped, she resolved to be strong.
The prayers OF her childhood fitted
through her mind. and amid the deafen-
ing tumult of wheels, street car bells and
shrieking of locomotives she breathed
forth her invocation for help and
strength But, though she grew calmer
she could not fail to note that she was
also growing feebler Unless she found
some refuge she surely would fall down,
and rude hands would lay hold of her
aud carry her off she knew not whittier
Standing as firmly as she could, striving
desperately to dispel that horrible fog
that seemed to be gathering in her brain,
she fixed her eyes upon the nearest shop
window, which happened TO be that of n
baker, and steered boldly across the side
walk. She reached the sidewalk just as
she was on the point Of falling, and
grabbing hold of doorknob tottered in
to the store.
81 am i'll. " she gaSped. PLEASE ex-
cuse me, and, losing consciousness, fell
in "A heap upon the floor.
When she was aroused from her
swoon, she met the eyes Of a kindly Ger
man lnatron. Who held a glass Of brandy
to her lips and spoke soothingly TO her.
The burning sensation of the liquor glid-
ing down her throat and warming her
chilled blood was all of which she was
conscious, and then the German wom-
ans voice mingled pleasantly with the
smell of fresh bread and burned sugar.
'Ach, you vas vary sick, " the mis-
tress of the baker shop declared cheer
fully, ''but now you be all ride, amt
it?''
Hulda, as she was assisted TO her feet,
became aware of flaxen haired young
girl of l6 or II, who was eying her
with undisguised curiosity.
'Haf you nc manners, Johanna" her
mother demanded, giving her arm a
rough shake. ''Mein Gott, why you
shtare SO? Haf you neffer seen lady
which vas sick before?"
Johanna staring did indeed make
Hulda uncomfortably conscious of her
rumpled and shabby appo arance. She
longed with sore longing for clean

Moro Than q Hundred villages Destroyed
In One Campaign.
AS we approached the falls we saw
that the river banks had been depopulat-
ed and the villages were in ashes. We
passed dead bodies floating in the river
Canoes were standing on end like hol-
lowed columns; crowds Of fugitives
were afloat and hiding among the reedy
islands. These were all signs Of gen.
eral terror, but we could get no infor-
nation Of its character. Vague ideas of
an invasion from some savage tribe
came to our minds, and nowSand then
we had q misgiving that there must be
Arab slavers in the neighborhood.
Continuing our ascent, on the third
day we came in sight of huge Arab
camp on the right bank, and before long
we discovered that the Arabs of Nyan-
give (Livingstone's farthest point), hay
ing heard the most exaggerated reports
of our successful descent Of the Kongo
in 1877, had fastened after us to reap q
harvest of ivory and slaves. They had
been too successful. Over 11S villages
had been destroyed below Stanley falls
alone, rich plumber Of ivory was in
their camp, and several hundred slaves,
old and young, were herded like goats
and heavily fettered in the slave pen. 1t
then appeared that while we had been
negotiating with the negro chiefs along
the river, making roads, building sta
tions and hauling steamers overland.
the Arabs of Nyangwe had been coming
down tho river, laying the country
waste. We had at last met, about so
miles below the falls. A glance at the
scenos of the camp was sufficient to re-
veal what future awaited the Kongo
valley had wo not conceived the project
of opening tho river to civilizing infu-
ences There was not moment to lose.
We had no authority to open fire on the
miscreants. They were subjects of the
Prince Of Zanzibar, who was protege
of England. and to plunge into hostili-
ties with them might possibly involve
us in serious complications. But while
we dared not use force we believed that
by continuing the same system we had
found SO successful with the native
chiefs We could check the audacity Of
the slavers by our mere presence among
them. After some days spent in cautious
and friendly negotiations with the
Arabs we were permitted to establish q
station at the falls, and after seeing it
we'll advanced we turned the prows of
our steamers down river toward Leo

their employees to get to their places OF

way managed to reach the Pole. At any
