I'm small room in tenement hous,
] In the poorer section of New Yorl
sat young girl. silently weepin,
and bemoaning her lonely condition
The day before she had been called
upon to part with her mother, wht
mad died after long, lingering illness
Ten years before her father had beer
Killed IN railroad accident, and the
mother and daughter had been Obliged
to give up their comfortable home and
move where cheaper rent could be pro.
cured and economy more effectually
practiced. Here, in one room, by the
aid Of her needle, Mrs. Atwood had
maintained herself and Helen.
The physician who had attended Mrs.
Atwood during her illness had noticed
the beautiful character and refined fea-
lures Of Helen. and had become deep
~ interested In her. Her extreme youth
had prevented him from showing her
too much attention.
DR.. Cutter had attained considerable
reputation during his four years Of
practice. and. being but 20 years Of age,
his widowed mother predicted for him
a brilliant future. III only he would
lind wealthy wife," thought the
mother. This success would be as
sured." But the young doctor did not
seem socially inclined. and seldom met
young ladies' outside his profession.
But one morning at breakfast DR..
Cutter told his mother Helen's sad
story, picturing her orphaned condition,
and asked her II she could not invite
Helen to their home until some plans
for her future could be made. This
worldly wise mother had at once scent
ed danger, and, after asking Miss At
woods address, had promised only that
she would call upon her that afternoon.
Thus it happened that as sad-faced
young girl sat peering out Of window
into a muddy court she saw q hand
some, well-dressed lady picking her
way along, and soon heard her knock
at her own door. Upon being admitted
the stranger introduced herself as DR..
Cutters mother.
After having listened to Helen's pitt.
full story, Mrs. Cutter proceeded to
question the girl as to her future. my
son has told me that you know Of no
relative or friend to whom you could
goY" NO" answered Helen, II have
no relatives. and mother and I have
been in no position to make many
friends"
"And is there nothing you can do to
earn your own liyingT questioned the
lady.
II am afraid not. Mrs. Cutter: l am
but IL years old. and. although mother
has always said she wished me to be
a teacher, fear l should make but a
poor one.">~
Then 1t occurred to the lady to ask
II Helen's mother had left any papers.
and Helen had brought her an old desk
and after looking the contents carefully
over they found bank book in which
Mrs. Atwood had an account with a
New York bank for 500 in her daugh-
.er's name. II wonder, my dear, that
you had not thought to look In this
lesk before" Mrs. Cutter said. and
when Helen replied that she had felt |

ar's things, the lady could but appre-
,iate the lonely girls feelings.
After considerable talk 1t was decid- |
ID that Mrs. Cutter should write to the |
of a young ladies' seminary
n western New York. requesting the
tdmittance Of Miss Helen Atwood to
lis school for a two years course. Az
his gentleman was a friend Of Mrs.

would suggest to him that he give her
