the poor are better TO their kind than
the rich. In one of the streets running

which characterizes the newly land

When Barbara went ont into the
darkness after that scene with Miss
Dillingham;, it was more than the
darkness Of physical night that op-
pressed her. She thought she realized
with a viv.dness more real than she
had ever before experienced the gulf
that separated her from the young
minister OF Marble Square church.
With almost grim resolve she said to
herself; " haze dreamed a vain
dream. l viii give myself up now to
my career. Whatever ambition have
shall center about the possibilities Of
service. He can never be anything to
me. 1t would risk all his prospects in

her face might betray her. But Mrs.
Ward, in whom Barbara had never con-
fided, as she had in Mrs. Vane, did not
detect anything; and Barbara found
relief by retiring soon to her kitchen.
The following Sunday she had an eX-
perience which added to her lnowl-
edge of the position she occupied as a
servant, and led up to the great crisis
of her life, as she will always regard it.
Since entering Mrs. Wards family
she had not attended evening service
in any of the Crawford churches,
owing to her desire to spend that time
with her mother. But on this partic-
ular Sunday following her interview
with Mrs. Nane and her talk with Mr..
Morton, she decided that she would
go out to the EndeavOr meeting at the
Marble Square church. There was no
service after the Christian Endeavor
meeting on this Sunday evening, as it
was the custom one Sunday in every
month TO give the whole evening to the
society and its work. The minister
was IL the habit of attending this
services and giving it his special notice,
sometimes by making a direct address
on the topic of the evening, or by TAX
ing part assigned to him beforehand
by the leader.

noted her distress.

reply, and he had taken off his hat
very gravely and bowed as he took
leave of her, and she had gone on
with a flaming face anda beating heart.

the tears wet her cheeks. "He asked
me to forgive it. Forgive him for

She could neither forget nor forgive.
