Remembrance and Resemblance

Living near a monarch does not necs
essarily make man a courtier, as we
may see by story of King Edward
VII. Every Christmas for number
of years his majesty has given TO an
old tenant on his Sandringham' estate
pair of boots. The old mans feet are
just the size of those of the king, who
always tries on the boots before pre-.
senting them. This adds, of course, tc
the old mans pride in his gift. Or
one occasion, some months after the
regular gift had been made, the prince
of Wales, as he then was, met the ten.
ant, and noticing that his boots
showed palpable signs of wear anc
neglect, advised him to polish them
'Ah," returned the old man, 81 never
look at those boots, dirty and worn as
they are, without being reminded OF
your royal highness!" In relating this
incident at home-for prince tells hi:
family funny things as readily as the
plainest citizen-his royal highness
said: ga well-meant compliment,
dare say, but very doubtful one!"-

felt with great humiliation that the
dragon had won and she would never
again have the courage to look him in
the face.
The next day she sent over for her
trunk; and, when the expressman
brought it, he handed her note that
had been given him by Mrs. Ward.
Barbara opened it in some excite
ment, thinking it might be a request
to come back. But it was scrawl from
Carl, who had at different times been
encouraged by Barbara to print real
letters to his father and brothers.
Dear Barbara: I am very sorry you
have gone. Won't you come back? 1 do
not feel very well to-day. My head aches.
If you will come back 1 will be good to
'oN ~ CARL"
When she had read this note, which
Mrs. Ward had let Carl send, she sat
down on her trunk and cried again. It
seemed all so dismal mistake, such a
waste of her life SO far. She did not
look forward to the future with any
degree of hopefulness. It seemed as if
all her high ambitions were destroyed
and all of her ideals swept out of her
life.
The next two days she spent in help
/ ing her mother with some sewing and
in little duties about the house. In
every moment of leisure from these
duties her thought at once went back
to her ambition to serve, and the more
she dwelt upon it the more hopeless
she grew.
In the morning of the third day after
she had left Mrs. Ward, and she was at

CHAPTER vi.
A KITCHEN is AS ROYAL AS A PAR
TOR

LOR.
AS Barbara walked away from the
Wards that afternoon, she fully
thought that Eer social experiment
was finally over, and that she might
as well write ''Finis'' to the dismal
attempt she had made to solve even
small part of such a complex prob
lem. But before she had covered the
short distance between the Wards
and her mothers, she experienced a
feeling of remorse that she had given
way so miserably to her passion in
the interview between Mrs. Ward and
herself. She even hesitated at the
corner before she started down the
street leading home as if she had
some serious intention of going back
to ask Mrs. Ward to receive her
again. But It was only a moments
pause, and then she went on and en-
tered the house, where she soon told
her mother the whole story. There
were tears on Barbara's cheeks when
she finished.
II seem to be total failure in every
way, mother. 1 haven't even learned
grace to control my tongue"
Neither has Mrs. Ward, from what
you say" replied her mother, with
more spirit than was usual for her. 1T
seems to me she is the one who is most
to blame. In fact, Barbara, 1 don't see
how you could have done differently
She compelled you to leave"

me to try any MORE" and Barbara
broke down completely, crying hard.
Her mother wisely let her have her
cry out, and then said: 81 can't help
feeling glad it has all turned out as it
has. You know have never approved
of your going out TO service. You sim
ply throw yourself away"
II don't know" Barbara replied, sad
ly. Somehow I cannot help feeling,
mother, that 1 have failed to do what
L ought to do and that the regret over
it will stay with me all my life. 1 be-
gan with a high purpose to accomplish
something, and L have failed utterly"

things as those that happened to-day

she added, with sigh. 'The question

Her mother tried to comfort her, but
Barbara was more depressed over the
situation than she had ever been in all
her life. She had met her dragon, and
had been completely routed. And she
had even at one time thought con-
temptuously of the dragon! But, as
she went to her room that night, she

when note was brought to her. The
reading of it stirred her pulses as she
stood in the kitchen and read:

Barbara went out to the sitting
room at once and showed the note to
her mother.
'Of course, win go right over
there" Barbara said, as she put on her
hat.
will you stay if Mrs. Ward asks you
to?" her mother asked, with tone
which conveyed curiosity mingled with
discussion.
81 don't. know" Barbara hesitated.

back

"And my advice, Barbara, is that you
say no. can't bear to think of you as
finally becoming nothing but a serv-
ant"
Barbara old not answer. She said
good-by to her mother and started for
last words smote her again and again.
Nothing but servant"
Was it, then, so low place
for a human being to fill a
place of service where the help
rendered was necessity to a fam
lily? Was this place in society so in
significant or so contemplate that it
could be characterized as nothing"
but service? What was worth while,
then, in the world? Was it worth more
to the world to paint pictures, or to
sell dry goods, or teach school, or
spend time in eating and drinking and
dressing up for parties as so many
rich and fashionable people in society
did all the time? Were these things
more useful than the work she had
been doing of caring for the physical
needs of home SO that it could devel-
op in the strongest and best ways?
Mrs. Ward met her at the door az
she was about to ring the bell. She had
evidently been looking for her out of
the front WINDOW.

said, and in few words she explained

troduce the subject.
Carl was taken down with the fever
the night before last. He has been
steadily growing worse. Will you go
right up and see him now?"
Mrs. Ward led the way, and Barbara
followed, feeling strangely depressed
as if in anticipation of some great
trouble. She sat down by Carl and the
child knew her.

she had often given him, "are you glad
to see Barbara? 1 am so sorry you are
not well. So sorry
"You come to stay?" asked Carl
speaking with great difficulty.
"I'll stay with you awhile" Barbara
answered, glancing at Mrs. Ward, who
was at the foot of the bed.

Carl repeated, slowly.

piled Barbara, who in the passage
from home to the Wards had really
made up her mind to stay if she was

Then Barbara saw that she was worn

and the homework in addition.
