A QUIET SABBATH
At Fall River, No One Apparently
Being Interested in Strike.

Fall River. Mass, July 31.-EXcept
for a persistent rumor which was
speedily denied, that two of the mills
would open, tomorrow, there was lit
tie of interest, today, in connection
with the cotton mill strike.
The Sabbath was passed like many
others, many of the strikers going to
shore resorts, while others lounged
about their homes. At the churches
nearly all the ministers referred to the
labor situation, but none of them made
any extended remarks on the subject.

While the Iron
Is Hot"

The iron is always hot for
the man who knows how to
advertise. He hits so hard and
so often in the same place that
he keeps the iron hot. He
doesn't hit one big blow and
sit down and wait for the iron
to cool off in order to feel the
dent. He knows that what he
says today will be forgotten to-
morrow unless he says it again.

CHAPTER V.

A pretty gown Of French muslin had
been laid upon 2 chair in Esther's
dressing room while she slept, and she
found other witnesses to her maids
industry and the forethought Of those
who harbored her. Everything had
been prepared for her upon the lavish
scale which the later day art of luxury
demands in a rich mans house Esther
was so unaccustomed to anything but
the barest necessities that this pro-
sion bewildered her, and she dressed
timidly like one who is AFRAID Of a gift
and the price which must be paid for
it. Nor could she fail TO contrast her
fortunes OF to-day with those Of yes
terday. Then she put on her shabby
gown in q dismal attic overlooking the
Tottenham Court road Her neighbors
had been the poor tenants of the mean
houses, the poverty y--tricken. and the
starving. The very breezes came TO
her laden with the city's CRIME. The
green lanes Of her own Devonshire
seemed so far away. To-day she awoke
in a palace Of the story books. Marble,
exquisitely white, paneled her bath
room, water ran clear as crystal in her
bath Of porcelain. the fragrance of
roses perfumed the sweet air of morn
ing. the lawns below ner window
caught up the dancing beams OF light
and hid them il a heart of emerald.
A sense OF rest and happiness pos
sessed her. and was not apart from
gratitude What right had she to be
IN such a house. or TO enjoy such lux
uries? To what end were they offered
herr She could not answer There
must be the secret, she thought
Esther had no watch. and she did
not know what time it was. nor il the
others were already about When she
had dressed herself, and taken one last
peep in the glass, without any great
thought of her appearance, she went
down stairs a little doubtfully, half be-
lievinS thSt il WAS very early, and that
she would End none but the servants
IN the dining room. In this, however,

hesitate to cure the leper because in
health he will be less repulsive? All,
no. you will never say thati Like all
young people, your judgments are i'm
pulsive, and the argument comes after
ward. At this moment you are telling
yourself that 1 am a common quack
who would sell a powder or paint to
a credulous public. 1t is the poorest
compliment you could pay me; but
your young experience is sufficient
apology. Understand that If you de-
eide to be my fellow worker, it must
be of your own free will and not upon
compulsion. 1 am servant of science
and 1 would make disciples. If / at
tempt to do something which no sci
enlist has done before, it will not be as
a charlatan but as pioneer. The smile
Of the grated flower is the simplest
that I can put before you. 1 would add
to Natures gifts; but / would add
naturally The beauty that 1 can win
from the light and the water and the
earth is to be won by a natural law
which 1 shall make known in due
course to other students. In my oper-
ating room 1 believe there are pro-
SGCIGlS. w
it over, you shall tell me if you wish
to master them with me-
Esthers face blanched when she
heard the words operating room; for
it suggested to her the stone floors and
the dreaded tables which she had once
seen in a hospital. She but half rea-
Iized the logical sequence of the Doc
tors argument. and the impression that

at the impression which his study made
upon her.
Yes he said, anticipating her ques-
ton, Il tell the time by that. When
the figure droops and sleeps, my days
work is done. 1t reminds me that |
am human and that if / ask of my
humanity too much, I shall fall as that
inanimate thing; but. unlike it, shall
not rise again. Come, Miss Venn. that's
not a bad lesson to begin with. Please
to sit in that armchair and think of it
a moment. 1 have a letter to write"
Esther sat down in the chair without
saying q word. The room did not in
Vite loud words. Even Madame Julia
scarcely dared to venture there she
stood with one hand upon the knob of
the door until her brother had spoken.
Then she nodded encourag agingly to Es-
ther and withdrew. For many min
utes doctor and patient might have
been in ignorance OF each others pres
ence. The silence was broken at length
by the Spaniard, who turned suddenly
in his chair and asked a question.
WELL" he said, Il find an exemplary
patient She is full of curiosity and
she does not say a word. She sees
that this is very strange room and
is too polite to remark it. Is not that
so. Miss Venn? You are saying that
it is an uncomfortable place?"
Il was thinking it," replied Esther,
frankly; 1T is not uncomfortable, but
peculiar"
Exactly, peculiar. The abode of a
man who does not like the sunlight.

ewes did not impress her less than when
she had first looked into them. In any
assembly of men. she thought, Doctor
Xavier would have been a commanding
presence both by right of intellect and
natural gifts. Power the face suggest
ed and with power the will to COM
mand obedience and to insure it, the
right to lead other men and to enjoy
their confidence. Esther was not afraid
to return the glance of such man,
she never doubted him. At the same
time. she did not believe that he could
wholly win a woman's affection.
'I shall be very glad to help you,
Doctor Xavier, If I can," she began,
determined to bring him to the point.
"Wir you please to tell me exactly
what I am to do for you? 1 think 1t
would be better to begin that way"
He turned in his chair and rested his
chin upon his elbow
yes" he said, that is necessary.
Let me be as brief. You are here to
assist me with scientific experiments.
Miss Venn; to benefit by them, hope"
Esther's heart quickened little when
she heard these ominous words. Sci
entific experiments might mean so
much. Her experience suggested TO
her that they could not be unattended
with danger
"I am quite ignorant Of science" she
said. after a little pause. 'If there is
ANYTHING that ] can do-write your let
ters or look after your books, am sure
| should do it very willingly. Is it help
of that kind you Want?'
