HE asked me to forget it, can
not" she said, as she buried her face
in her hands up in her room, while
the tears wet her cheeks. 'He asked
me to forgive it. Forgive him for
saying what he did? But it was not
anything very dreadful" She smiled,
then frowned at the recollection. 81

in the habit of paying. But was it
silly, or was he in the habit of pay
Ing such? Was it not a real express
sion of what he felt" She put her
hands over her ears, as if to shut out
whispers that might kill her ambi-
lions and put something else in their
place. But when she went down to
work a little later she could not shut
out the picture of that afternoon.
She could neither forget nor forgive.
o Barbara! If he could only know
how his plea for forgiveness was be-
ing denied; and with a smile, not q
9rown in the heart!
The rest of that week Mr.. Morton
stayed away from Mrs. Wards, al
though Mr.. Ward had expected him
80 tea on Friday. He sent a note
pleading stress of church work. Mr..
Ward commented on it at the table.
Morton is killing himself already
tHe seems to think he can do every
thing. He won't last out half his
days at the present rate"
He needs a good wife more than
anything else," Mrs. Ward said, care
1essly. ''Some one ought to manage
him and tell him what to do"
Eyes, I suppose every woman in
the church knows just the girl for
him, and is ready to hint her name,''
Mr.. Ward remarked.
IF he marries anyone in Marble
Square parish it will create trouble
It always does," said Mrs. Ward.
II think Morton has sense enough
to look out for that" replied Mr..
Ward, briefly.
Barbara heard every word as she
was serving at the table, and feared
her face might betray her. But Mrs.
Ward, in whom Barbara had never con-
fded, 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 knowl-
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

Masters, render unto your servants
that which is just and equal; know
ing that we also have a Master in
Heaven"
''Of course" Barbara unused, after
saying the words, "all this was said
to actual slaves. whose bodies were
bought and sold in the market like
cattle. But what wonderful words to
be spoken to any class of servants
either then or now! Whatsoever We
do, work heartily!' One thing that
servants lack in their service is
heartiness. It is done for wages, not
for love of service. AS unto tho
Lord and not unto men, How few
servants ever think of that! The
Lord is the real Master. He is being
served if what I do is a good thing
that needs doing. There is no re-

done, it might make conditions far

question is concerned. But who will
tell us what is meant by Just and

head doubtfully, and went on,

So Barbara the next day did not
present the appearance of the mod
ern broken-heartcd heroine in the
end-of-the-ce novel. Anyone
| who knew her could plainly see
| marks in her face and manner of g
great experience. But there was nc
| gloom about her, no un-Christian

stance. If she were to live he1

you quite sure you have forever bid

with her work, and in the evening

It was altogether unnecessary for
her to be ostentatious with her posi-
ton; but she was not perfect, and felt
an unnatural desire to test her recep-
ton right in Mr.. Morton's own society.
A few of the young people in the Mar
BILE Square church knew who she was
and what she was doing, and with few
exceptions she had been treated with
great kindness, no discrimination
whatever being made. But the maj or-
ity of the young people did not know
her, and tonight she was plainly
dressed, her face was bearing mar ks of
the WEAKNESS of the strain of the last
months work, and it was not surpris-
ing that she was suspicious of every
suggestion of slight.
When the committee and the other
strangers finally went out and mingled
with the others in the large room, Bar
bara thought she detected distinct
GOODNESS to her. She was certain her
name and her position had been whis-
pered around among the young people.
AS she afterward found out, she did
the committee an injustice, as they had
not told anyone of her work. But she
wss left alone in the midst Of all the
others, and in spite of her habits of
self-control and her previous expert
ences she began to feel a bitterness
that was contrary to her sweet ma
ture.
She looked around the room, and no

group Of older girls who had begun to
come in the society little while after

she went over to her and spoke to her.
ham, who was not perfect any more
than Barbara, did as wrong social act
as she had ever done in her life. She
simply nodded to Barbara without say
ing word, and went on talking with
out introducing her friends to Barbara
or taking any other notice of her.
Barbara instantly stepped back away
from the group, while her face glowed
and then paled. AS she turned sharply
around to go out Of the door which was
near, Mr.. Morton confronted her. He
had witnessed the little scene.
"You will always be welcome in our
Endeavor society, Miss Clark" he said
while the color that mounted to his
face was as deep as hers.
II shall never come again so long as
I am servant" replied Barbara, in a
tone as near that of passion as she had
ever shown to him. And with the words
she opened the door and went out int
the night, leaving him standing there
and looking at her with look that
would have made her tremble if she
had lifted her face to his.

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 in the habit OF attending this
service and giving it his special notice,
sometimes by making direct address
on the topic of the evening, or by TAX
ing part assigned to him beforehand
by the leader.
When Barbara went in that evening,
the large, handsome chapel of the
Marble Square church was rapidly fill
ing up. The talented, earnest, hand
some young preacher was very popu-
lar with the young people, and the So
ciety had increased rapidly in mem
bership and attendance since Morton's
arrival.
The usher showed Barbara to . seat
about half way down the aisle. AS she
sat down she noticed Mr.. Morton talk
ing with group of young people
down in front. When they separated,
he looked up and saw her, and, coming
down the aisle, he gravely shook
hands, and then introduced her to the
young woman next to her. He then
went to the door, greeted some of the
members coming in, and then went
around by side aisle and sat down on
q front seat just as the meeting be-
gan.
1t had been q long time since Bar
bara had attended Christian Endeav-
or meeting. She felt that she was
growing rather old for it, but tonight
she enjoyed it thoroughly. When the
time came for Mr.. Morton to speak
she was surprised to find how her an
ticipation of what he had to say was
not spoiled by anything he said. II
was all so manly, with such genuine
real fragrance to it, so tinged with
healthy humor, so helpful for real life
that it helped her. She was grateful
to him. Like the first sermon she had
| heard him preach, his talk tonight
| made her feel the value of life and the
strength of effort in Gods world.
Then suddenly, while she was look
ing at the earnest, eloquent face, the
| life from hers smote her into despair
| When the service was over, she did not
| want to remain to the quiet, socia
gathering that followed. But >he1
neighbor to whom Morton had intro
duceu her asked her to come into the
little gathering of other visitors anc
strangers who were being received by
an introduction committee and made
welcome to the society, the committee
giving all strangers topic cards anc
other printed matter belonging to the
society, and introducing them to one
another as we'll as to members.
1t was one of the new methods pur.
sued by this committee to ask all
strangers to sign little card giving
the address of the newcomer, SO tina
some one of the society might call dur
ing the week, and, if necessary, act as
escort to the next meeting: One OF
these cards was given to Barbara; and
in spirit Of perversity, growing out
of her feeling regarding her position,
she signed her name and put under it
the words: House servant at Mr..
Wards, SO Hamilton street."
