Frauleln Pauline's sewing girl bent
Ger head over the skirt she was alter
Ing. but not one of these careless
graceful movements escaped her. and
her whole soul was flled with longing
and discomfort. The fraulein was
young German lady visiting some
American relatives; she was rich. she
was loved and admired and made
much OF. she could fit in her dainty
clothes and talk to her bird The sew

They studied the dark face Of the girl
bent over her work, noted the sallow
akin. the tired droop of the shoulders
the heavy frown. Presently SOFT
hand was laid on the nervous htEers
that held the needle. and a gentle
voice said: My dear. tell me what II

The girl looked up with startled
eyes. then suddenly she burst into

MY child. do you think rich people
have everything they wish for?" she
said, softly. Il win tell you n little
s.ory. Far away In German city, at
one OF the great music concerts. an ar
list and young girl were introduced
60 each other. These two met many
times thereafter. aud life was very
beautiful to them Then came
change. The mans eyes could no
longer hide the love that lay behiad
them. but he did not speak. The girl
was an heiress. and he feared to be
called fortune hunter. She was also
wellborn. and he was but poor
American: her wealthy relatives look
ed Gskance at him. He knew that he
was not a fitting match for her. The
girl did not want fitting match she
wanted a mate, Hut. ae.,. she could
not speak. she could only walt.
The sewing girl ventured TO lay her
haad tenderly on the bowed head:
her eyes were filed with gentle tears

asked softly,
