She was not enlightened as to wage,
but was so happy to begin earning
something that she did not give it II
thought; but entered upon her duties
at once. A middle-aged, pleasant
looking matron took her IN charge.
and soon she felt quite at home, and
although she did not know it, she was
doing that which usually two girls
were required TO do. She got along
splendidly. Of course, as IN all fac.
tories. the same class of girls were
present.
The large mouthed, frcckle faced,
turned-up nose, topped off by the
shock of red hair, Mary Ann McCarty
was there, who made fun for the
whole lot, and had all the blarney of
her kind with her. Sometimes she
attributed her laziness to keeping too
late hours at her grandfather wake
and such other occurrences till it lead
one to believe that she had countless
relations all dead and all grand faith
ers Then too, there was the pious
Alisha Cummings, whose favorite
brother was n minister. And the
funny pair of twins, whom no one
could distinguish Lemlc Norris, the
only girl that ever had beau; and
dozen Others, who all had Il redeem
ing feature; so Lucinda never got
lonesome.
Shortly, The girls began to grow
suspicious about their pay. They
had been put of by various excuses
till each one began to look for an
other situation. In few days they
received notice chat the factory would
shut down for few weeks Lucinda
had been so busily employed that
she had not had time for any recrea-
ton, and she felt quite glad, for she
would 20 and make Il visit to Mrs.
GOodbar.

one gathered round the cashiers
,esk for their salary and each one
received the information that theil
money would be sent by mail They
hurried outside, where they we've met
by the employees from each floor, in
all making about 200. They talked
the situation over, and all agreed that
they were only "put Off" in order to
get 'rid" of them. Many of them
were crying, for whole family was
depending on them for support, while
Others seemed to think it fine time
for a holiday. Lucinda hurried to
her boarding place The matron in
formed her that she would wait no
longer for her board bill, but she
should seek another situation. while
her belongings would he held as pay
She had always written cheerfully to
her mother, whom she knew would
willingly help her; but her heart
failed her now AS she knew, ever
since she could remember, it had been
hard for her widowed mother to feed
ana clothc herself and six young
children. She decided she wculd
make visit to Mrs Goodbar. Early
the next morning she dressed and
obtained the address and started to
walk, as she lad no money for car
fare. As she FASTENED along she
heard the news-boys crying, "Morn-
ing paper. All about the Goodbar
factory faillng" She stopped quick
ly and read the heading of the paper,
which informed her that the factory
had shut down forever; and the build
ing and contents would be sold, and
would not pay 10 cents on 81. She
did not realize the real meaning, but
instinct told her thae she should
never expect, or at least for some
time, any pay from there.
By several inquiries she at last
reached her employers residence.
The servant met her at the door and
informed her that the lady would see

practice thereon, ana he seemed disposed
| TO do what he could looking TO the con-
struction OF q new range sufficiently large
20 accommodate the large number OF the
National Guard in that city. Any delay

learned to look upon him as friend ana
valued helper. 10 no small degree the
present high efficiency of the guard is
due to his untiring efforts.

A JAPANESE VIEW.
Recent Occurrences in China Call
Forth Unstinted Condemnation.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. S.-Japan is
stirred to its depths by the news
which comes pouring in day by day
concerning the atrocities committed
in China by the soldiers of the allied
forces. 1t comes as a shock to many
to find a heather nation, however civ
ilized placed in a condition to pub
licly condemn great Christian races
for deeds which are hedious mock
cry of their religious professions. The
harm it has done to the cause of
Christianity in Japan can scarcely be
measured in words. Day by day the
newspapers publish the strongest arti-
cles condemning the brutality and IL
cense which has reigned for months
in China.
Take for instance, the recent leader
in an important newspaper, the To-
kio Maishushinsi. In the matter of
politics and national morality" says
its editor, there is no distinction be-
tween Christians and pagans. The
Russians are generally supposed to be
Christians and the Japanese heather.
yet in China at the present moment
the Russians are now committing out
RACES which the japanese are asham-
ed to witness. Is this the vaunted
superiority of the West? oh. Christ
ianity, OH Christianity! what by
word thou art
Another article refers to the bishop
of the great Russian cathedral which
occupies a commanding position in
Toxic. Go home, Bishop Nikolai,"
it says, land bring all your assistants
with you and try to convert your own
people. When you have done this
it will be time to come to preach to
us Yet it is with these Russian
Christians that some Europeans think
that we poor heather japanese are un-
worthy to mix! The Russians have
become devils, and the voice of God
is drowned by the thunder of artil-
lery.'
In many other ways the Japanese
are showing their horror and detest-
alton of these crimes. In many shops
are pictures in which Euro
ropeans are depicted numbering chill
dren, knocking down women and as
saulting old men, while the Japanese
are represented bestowing gifts and
benisons to kneeling and grateful
Chinese.
