a SERVING MAID
tOriginal.1

tOriginall
Olive Horton was a nursery maid.
Had it not been for the dress of a
servant no one would ever have taken
her to be one. She was refined look
ing, and there was something in her
manner that also bespoke refinement.
She seemed to have little in common
with her fellow servants, who, though
they were not admitted to her friend
ship, never turned against her. Real
superiority is always sooner or later
recognized, and Olive Horton came to
be regarded 10y them as of Il higher
class Most of them believed that she
was the daughter of some gentleman
who had broken down financially.
What put Il finishing touch to their
sense of their own inferiority was the
discovery that Olive kept singular look
ing books in her closet, which she
brought out and studied after her
charges were asleep.
Elliott White. Il nephew of Olives
employer, on returning from a trip
abroad, visited his aunt and one morn
inG, While recUuGting his travels Give
came into tie room. She gave but one
glance at Elliott, but his eyes became
fixed upon her and followed her till
she left the room. He tried to resume
the thread of his recital. but in vain.
His tongue would not describe what
had been driven from his thoughts.
Since the girl Was Il servant he had
the good taste not to show the interest
she had created in him. The truth WAS
that that silent figure which had en-
tered the room had taken out With it
ell there was Of value in his nature
What came of this is only what
comes in such cases. Elliott Whites
aunt one day was surprised at hearing
a fragment of dialogue between her
nephew and her servant.
The fever! It never leaves me- he
said.
Il have told you to go away from me
and stay till you are cured
''And you!"
Il shall never be cured, but l will
not be your wife My respect for my
self may not be strong enough to hold
me, but my love for you will never
permit me to drag you down to my
level"

A step in the hall ended the dialogue
The aunt and mistress went away
troubled. but she never mentioned
what she had heard to the lovers or
any one else.
Olive was taken i'll, and a doctor
was called to attend her. When he
went downstairs after his first visit he
found Elliott White in the library.
