mas gladness came floating in at the
window of a room high up in a poor
old tenement house, where two wom-
en- sat by bed wherein sick child
lay, tossing about restlessly, and
moaning in the delirium of a fever
that was burning it's little life away
One of these women was the child's
mother. The other was Margaret
Leith.
Poor little thing!" the mother
moaned, as she bent above the bed,
and her tears fell fast on the thin,
white face already bright with the
radiance shining out through the
open gates of the Other World. I'm
afraid he isn't going to live the night
out. II wish you'd stay with me,
ma'am. It's too much to ask of
you, l know, butt never had any
thing to do with death, before, and
il seems as if 1 could bear it bet
ter if you were here. You've ,been
SO kind to me, ma'am, that you see
l take liberties that l ought not to;
but you'll pardon me for it, I'm sure,
for it's, because of the trouble.
Sometimes I think I'd go crazy if it
wasn't for your kind face and your
comforting words, ma'am."
Il will stay" answered Margaret.
But l must send word to my aunt,
The Banner-Democrat. [volume] (Lake Providence, East Carroll Parish, La.) 1892-current, 1902-12-25

she did, not so very long ago, sure
ly she would have some sympathetic
word for him now.
Presently Aunt Diana came back,
and soon he went away with q grave
face, and disappointed look in his
eyes.
Margaret saw the look and under
stood what it meant.
He is blind, willfully blind" she
said to herself, as he went down the
street. She could hardly keep back
her tears. Surely he might see the
truth-if he would.
Yes, he is blind" she repeated,
this time aloud-she had forgotten
that Aunt Diana was in the room.
did you speak to me?' asked her
aunt.
NO, I was talking to myself" an
swered Margaret, feeling so miser-
able that she cared very little if Aunt
Diana knew what her thoughts were.
She got up and went out of the room,
with such a sorrowful look in her
face that the woman who was watch
ing her keenly knew the visit of
John Fosdyke had given her no pleas
ure. The willy matchmaker congratu-
lated herself accordingly. She felt
sure that the paths of these two
persons had diverged so widely that
they would never run together again.
BY and by Vaughan Herrick came
n R1Jt Marco,a
Il shall never win her." he said to
Aunt Diana, after he had asked for
her niece. II seem to know her less
and less each time 1 meet her"
Have patience" counseled Aunt
Diana. "The world was not made in
q day, and such women as Margaret
are not to be won all at once"
"Or never" said Herrick, discour.
agedly.
Aunt Diana had never been more
thoroughly disguised and out of pa
thence with her niece than she was
when she found that she had taken
to visiting the poor.
She argued with her about the
foolishness of the "whim," as she
called it. What good would come of
it? What would "our set" say when
this latest proof of Margaret's eccen-
tricity was brought to its notice?
"As to that, l care very little, or
not at ALL" answered Margaret "It
may do but little good, but it will
certainly do no harm, and to do a
little good is much better than to
do none at ALL"
So she kept on with the work she
had undertaken. At first it was hard,
and almost repulsive, in many of it's
features. But by and by she found
that there was real pleasure in try
ing to help others. Ano it was not
long until she began to get more
pleasure out of her life, because of
what she was doing, than she had ever
found in the idle round of fashion
able existence. John Fosdyke's en-

heart claims you, but our hearts are
often so selfish that they prompt
us to lay claim to that to which we
have no right"
THE king may always claim his
own, they say" she answered, smil-
ing softly and half unconsciously
into his face, in the great, absorbing
happiness that was flooding her soul.
MY heart was yours long ago,
John" and then she put her hand in
his as if it held her heart. ard size
was giving it into his keeping for all
time to come.
Are you sure you will not regret
what you lose in casting your lot
with mine?"
II think only of what I gain" size
answered. There is no loss"
And then the bells rang out again,
jubilantly, tunefully. and they seemed
to say:
"Peace, Good Will! Peace, Coco
Will" till all the night was filed
with the sound, and the two hearts
that were henceforth to be one took
up the refrain, and it has rot vet

will net say that have told you any
thing, will you? Really, l haven't,
you know. They do not care to be
gossiped about as engaged lovers,
just yet"
II shall say nothing" answered
John Fosdyke.
Aunt Diana congratulated herself
on the success of her diplomacy. She
saw that he believed that Margaret
and Mr.. Herrick were engaged, and,
relieving that, he would not be like
ly to say or do anything that would
interfere with the accomplishment
of her plans.
"Why doesn't your hero, Tosdyke,
call occasionally, as he used top
asked Aunt Diana, one day. HE

thusiasm had taken possession of
her. She felt that she was not only
helping those with whom she came
in contact, but she was helping him.
If she could not work by his side,
she could at least do something to
help him and his work in a way he
might know nothing about, but the
doing of it might make his own work
lighter, in some indirect way.
AT first, perhaps, she did it for his
sake, or because it was his work, and
sharing it with him, even without his
knowledge, seemed to establish a
common bond of interest between
them. But it was not long, as l have
said, before she began to love the
work for its own sake. When a man
CT a woman does something to help
his or her fellowmen, life is broad
ened by it, and the world suddenly
seems fuller of deeper, grander
meanings and possibilities. A kim
ship of interests brings rs close to
the heart of things. We wake up to
the fact that to live means something
more than mere existence. There are
others in the world quite as impor-
tant as ourselves. They have sor-
rows and joys we can share with
them. We can help them, and they
can help us.
In her round of work she did not
meet John Fosdyke, but she heard
a good deal about him.
And what she heard was something
to make her glad and proud. He was
indeed sowing good seed. She won
dered if he knew as well as she did
the amount of good he was doing.
And he heard of her, but he did
not know who it was that cam. 10
the homes of tie poor and the sick
with comforting words, and help in
time of need; fer her work was done
as quietly and unobtrusively as his
own.

NioWu lnaJ stlrred nef pulses TO q
swifter beat. Her eyes lost the list
less look that had been in them while
she watched with a woman's mere
idle curiosity the tide of humanity
surging past. Here was some one
for her interest to center itself
about. With this person upon whom
TO fasten her thoughts, she forgot
the throng of which he was part.
Il wonder if there is any truth in
the theory of soul telegraphy?" she
thought, with a bright, soft light
gathering in her eyes, as she watched
the man about whom her thoughts
had centered themselves. "He said
he half believed it. / will put it to
the test
She looked intently at the man who
had driven her idle mood away, and
