There were girls who seemed to be glad
10 tell Rachael. and when she tiared up
and SAID:
"io' know as well as aw do at Jim
ne'er did it," they only replied:
We'll, he's a'en his hook at any rate.
Yo'r Aunt Bet seed him goo, and says
good riddance 10 bad ruobidge' She
doesn't seem 10 think as weel o Jimmy
as her niece does" What could Rachael
say? She went home with rage IN her
heart against ber aunt, and something
IKE resentment agalns, her lover for
hasiing away without a word TO the
girl who could have died for him. All,
little did she thiuk-yet even now u
dead misery had taken hold OF her.
Well, Miss Proudie, an how's thy fine
gentleman uaa?" (Aunt Bets own lad

had turned out wastrel-hence her
bitterness.) law thout wot it 'ud be.

where; besides, Aunt Bet wasn't worth
answering. Then, that very day the
orerlooker had threatened TO reduce her
to two looms, and had humbled her so
terribly before the other weayers, that
all the spirit seemed clean gone out of
her. She went to bed. but not to sleep.
The "knocker up" had an easy task

est OF many black ones during the past
few weeks, and now no lovers comfort
awaited her. Everything went wrong.
The stun wouldn't weave. Her looms
seemed bewitched. The overlouker
overlooked with vengeance.
"io'll start on two looms to-morn,"
he said; think on that! Awe lots
a wenches O. IA at weave better nor
thee, an do moor wark on two looms

1t was the last straw. She dare not
face Aunt Bet and her sneers.
"Oh, jim, JIM" was the cry Of her
heart, why couldn't you say word
to me?" For when her heart spoke ii
cried for Jim and rot for looms. Com
ing out of the hot mill it was bitter
cold. Next week was Christmas week.
Merry Christmas! She drew her shawl
over her head and hurried away. No,
to the place she called "home." She
scarcely knew where she went hope
less despair weighed on her sensitive
spirit Tears unchecked and unheeded
dropped as she walked. "Anywherc.
