many comments on q building here and
a grass plot there. At the corner Of /
street and Vermont avenue Mr.. Carnegie
stopped to regard the hole in the ground

disappointment when he heard of the

Mr.. Carnegie said that his only activ-

into the nearest chair and read her fat
letter. The lawyers announced that her
uncle, Ezra Perkins. was dead and had
left a will bequeathing his entire fortune.
$4,000, to his beloved niece, Lizzie Hupp,
on one condition. This he believed it
would be no misfortune for her to COM
ply with. as she had always been a
modest, God-fearing woman. His only
daughter had disgraced him by going
on the stage and bedaxzling herself for
the vulgar gaze in a most unseemly man
ner. Her career had been what one might
expect in such circumstances. Not being
a proper and responsible person, she was
cut of with q small allowance. to be
paid to her monthly by the legatee. The
condition was merely that said legatee
should wear nothing but modest black,
not as mourning for the deceased. but as
q mark of respect for his wishes and
reproof to his, daughter as long as she
lived.
Could she give Il all up just as the
cup was at her lips? Why had he In
sisted on black? She almost hated him for
that. Then she remembered. The girl
had disgraced him. She shuddered. What
II she should be lured into the paths OF
sin? Was she not tempting providence IN
these singularsy alluring hebiliments? She
remembered the look on Joe Wendt's face
as he took her checks, the drug clerk $
shipper. Jim Peterson's open mouth and
even old Cale.b's bulgfng eyes, and hot
shame poured over her in a tidal wave,
With trembling hands she tore on the
instruments Of Satan, vigorously brushed
the artificial crimps from her hair,
scrubbed the powder off her desecrated
cheeks (she felt wicked thrill because
the masseuses handiwork was not SO
easily eradicated), and then. wrapped in
the familiar folds of her old drab wrap
per- virtuously sat down to accept her
uncle's legacy. piously thanking God for
this wonderful manifestation which had
saved her from life OF shame.

Narrow Escape.
Ioopyright, 1918. by W. Werner,

Eliza Hupp, or plain Lizzie. as she was
called on week days, was the village
dressmaker. At least, until short time
before this story opens she had been the
dressmaker. Now, however she was only
a dressmaker, and from the handwriting
on the wall it looked as IL the time was
not far distant when she would be spoken

self had a quite set-up feeling in those
days. Was she not on intimate terms
withs the cream of the town?
Yet the best Of life had somehow pass
ed by her. Her days had been as gray
and unexciting as the drab detection her
cracked mirror threw back to her dis
dainfully. She sighed as she twisted her
drab hair into its accustomed hard knot,
shook her head regretfully at the unat-
tractive picture as dingy as its unyarnish-
ed frame, and turned away YEARLY. Her
enforced holiday was no pleasure since
it meant a more pinching economy than
heretofore. which was almost a physical
impossibility.
How does she do 'it?' she wondered,
miserably, her thoughts reverting to the
cause of her downfall, the smart, young
city dressmaker, who was up in Ramona
for her health.
She looks a sight healthier than do,
