always guided by the strictest sense At
fairness and honor. do what is right
in the matter. Better talk frankly with
Mrs. Fulton about your plans, and let
her feel that you are willing to stay as
long as it is right"
When Mrs. Fulton came in, Malcolm
and Faith had a talk with her. The
result of it was that Faith promised tn
remain with Mrs. Fulton another
month. Meanwhile she was to 500
Miss Varney, and IL ARRANGEMENTS
could be made she was to enter the
studio at the end Of the time Of her
service at the Fultons'. Mrs. Fulton
was considerably surprised and a good
deal pleased with the arrangement. It
was a good deal more than she had
supposed Malcolm Kirk or his dauqh.
ter would agree to do, but she did not
know either Of them as we'll as she did
afterward.
Malcolm Kirk spent a Sunday in Chi.
cago, and Faith had the great delight
Of hearing him preach in the church
where she had gone to the evening
service that eventful Sunday before.
They took tea with the pastor that
evening, and the next day Malcolm
| started back to Conrad.
Malcolm Stanley went with him.
| There was, if the truth must be told
a secret disappointment in the heart
| Of the young Englishman that Faith
was not going home too. But the two
men said goodby cheerily to Faith and
| were whirled out into the west. while
Faith went back to her work with a
brave heart, in spite Of little feeling
Of inconsistencies that crept over her at
the sight Of the two stalwart figures
on the platform Of the receding train.
Her relations with the Fultons were
| decidedly different now. She was care
| full not to presume in the least on the
change in their thought Of her. and
when Mrs. Fulton asked her that day
If she would not sit down at the table
with them she said she preferred not
to, which was entirely true, for Faith
| believed that if she was to serve the
family as she ought at mealtimes she
must be ready to do so in the most eff
fective manner. And she knew she
could not do so if she ate with the rest.
| Mrs. Fulton was much relieved at
Faiths action in that particular. It
seemed to Faith, however, that when
Sunday morning came and Alice asked
her to come into the family circle to
prayers she ought to 60, and she did SO
quietly and enjoyed it.
When evening came, Alice wanted to
go to church with her, and Mrs. Fulton
did not say anything. The new order
of things was unheard of, but a girl
whose family friends included men
ike Francis Raleigh and Malcolm Stan
!ey was not an ordinary hired girl, and
Mrs. Fulton reasoned with herself &C.
cordingly.
But before that Sunday came Faith
and the artist had gone to see the ia
nous lady photographer, who had TAX
en- a 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 l could only send $40 or even S;
week home, I'd be the proudest CIR
in this city," she said as she prepared
the dinner that evening. "And then, i1
time, perhaps l can hive a studio OF
my own like Miss Varney's. l know
have plenty of artistic ideas, and may
be one or two of them are original"
So she sang light hearted as sht
worked, overcoming the world of hel
selfshness and her trials, for it was
not all heaven on earth always even il
that we'll appointed kitchen, and there
were many things to fight without an(
within.
But when the time of her stay will
the Fultons was out she parted from
them with genuine regret. 1t is yer!
certain that Mrs. Fulton dreaded ex
ceedingly to 'break in" the new cir
and at the last she even urged Faith t
remain another month.
eve will give you S. week if 70,
will only stay" she said anxiously
"And you can play the piano if 70,
want to-" she added, with a shor
laugh and little embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, really sorry, to leav'
you, Mrs. Fulton. You have been yer,
good to me. But feel as if the Lore
meant me to do something else. Per
haps"-Faith said it a little vaguely
but she had brooded over it a grea
deal while at work in the Kitchen
"perhaps l may be able to do some
thing to make American girls willin,
to go out to service"
81 wish you could. Really you hav
no idea what have suffered from m.
help in the last 20 years. sighed Mrs
Fulton.
Roy was inconsolable. He wante'
Faith to bake up 100 or 200 apple pie
and leave them in a cold storage plan
near by, so he could have something t
eat between meals.
Tell you what I'll d." he said
week before Faiths time was up. II
you will bake pie every day and sem
it over from the studio, I'll give yo1
my kodak. It's new, but I'm tired o
it anyhow"
Faith laughed, but declined the Offer
'Th'en I'll give you the kodak any
way" said Roy, and he insisted o.
Faith taking it. and his offer was s
pressing that she had not the strengt]
to refuse. At the earliest opportunit
she sent him a photograph of a stree
urchin eating a pie, holding it In bot
hands, and Roy delightedly framed
and hung it up in his own room afte
his mother had refused to let it ador
the top of the sideboard in the dinin
room.
But Faith experienced the sinceres
