THE PRINCETON UNION: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 90 1900

JRSDA Y SEPT EMBER 9,
like Francis Raleigh and Malcom Stan
LEY was not an ordinary hired girl, and
Mrs. Fulton reasoned with herself ac-
|cordingly. - @
But before that Sunday came Faith
and the artist had gone to see the IA
nous lady photographer, who had tax
en- liking to Faith at the beginning.
She readily agreed to take Faith on
trial at the end of the month, and Faith
went back to her kitchen quite eX-
ultant at the prospect.
"If could only send $40 or even $5
a week home, ia be the proudest girl
IN this city," she said as she prepared
the dinner that evening. "And then, in
time, perhaps can have a studio Of
my own like Miss Varney's. l know /
have plenty Of artistic ideas, and may
be one OF two Of them are original"
So she sang light hearted as she
worked, overcoming the world Of her
selfishness and her trials, for it was
not all heaven on earth always even in
that we'll appointed kitchen, and there
were many things to fight without and
within.
But when the time Of her stay with
the Fultons was out she parted from
them with genuine regret. 1t is very
certain that Mrs. Fulton dreaded ex-
ceedingly to "break in'' the new girl
and at the last she even urged Faith to
remain another month.
1--WE will give you S. week if you
will only stay" she said anxiously.
"And you can play the piano if you
want to-" she added, with short
laugh and little embarrassment
"I'm sorry, really sorry, to leave
you, Mrs. Fulton. You have been very
good to me. But 1 feel as if the Lord
meant me to do something else. Per
haps"-Faith said it little vaguely,
but she had brooded over it a great
deal while at work in the kitchen
"perhaps I may be able to do some
thing to make American girls willing
to go out to service"
II wish you could. Really you have
no idea what have suffered from my
help in the last 20 years." sighed Mrs
Fulton.
Roy was inconsolable. He wanted
Faith to bake up 100 or 200 apple pies
and leave them in cold storage plant
near by, so he could have something tc
eat between meals.
'"Tell you what I'll do," he said a
week before Faiths time was up. I'll
you will bake a pie every day and send
it over from the studio, I'll give yor
my kodak. It's new, but Pm tired OF
it anyhow"
Faith laughed, but declined the offer
;, ''Then I'll give you the kodak any
way" said Roy, and he insisted or
Faith taking it, and his offer was sc
pressing that she had not the strength
to refuse. At the earliest opportunity
she sent him photograph Of stree
:, urchin eating a pie, holding it in both
, hands, and Roy delightedly framed i
. and hung it up in his own room afte1
:. his mother had refused to let it ador1
the top Of the sideboard in the dining
room.
But Faith experienced the sinceres
e regret in parting from Alice. The tw'
:, girls entered into what proved to be :
really genuine friendship. There wa
not particle Of pride or jealousy il
Alice's nature and not the least feelin
Of social caste. She wanted Faith t
L show her how certain finger exercis
on the piano was best done and NOR
than once expressed the greatest ad
) miration for Faiths accomplishments
The friendship thus begun has laste
to the present moment. Then ther
began new life for Faith. She seen
- ed at last to have found her place i
>. .. the world. Miss Varney was NOR
- than delighted with her. "That girl,
- = she said to Francis Raleigh, who calle
= at her studio a month after Faith ha
10 been there, ''has brought more ne'
ideas into my work than all my othe
!" assistants. She will make her mar
'e in the profession"
W Faith was in the next room an
could not help hearing what was sai'
g unknown to the artist. She tremble
- with pleasure, and when she wro1
&c home that night she gave her mothe
q a glowing account of her work and il
- hope for future success. It was wit
- ~ the keenest pleasure that she was alb
!, ! to inclose in this same letter ST.
