rate that line OF thought for her first
article. Not that it was new
thought, but all one needed was a
new viewpoint and a feeling style,

ran lightly down the back stairs,

glancing about her. Three promis-
of view-had she refused because
she could not command her cour-
age to the point of sleeping down
stairs. In this house there was no
basement bedrooms and the two tiny
attic rooms were given up to the cook
and the housemaid. She reviewed
mentally the apartments on the lower
floors through which her mistress had
conducted her and compared them
with this in which she sat; after
W Nich she got her notebook out of
her bag and made a few hasty notes.
Juliana was going to do a series Of
articles on the Domestic Service Prob
lem and she was getting her material
at first hand
She felt very pleased with her notes.
They were lightly satirical. When she
had done her hair over before the
malicious mirror she made some
more notes. These were filled with a
yearning cry of gloom. She felt a
gratifying certainty that half-column
of pathos could always be secured by

maid cast away on a desert Of lop-
sided furniture, and when a final
survey Of herself reflected a cross
eyed face under the exaggerated
pompadour she had substituted for
her usual rather classic coiffure, and
a lumpy and grotesque figure in
cheap lace waist, she had really to
tear herself from the room, so filled
was she with gloomy and satrical lit
erature. Just outside the door she met
Mrs. Wentworth.
"Oh, Julia" said that lady, who was
pretty and smartly groomed young
person, Il quite forgot to tell you that
l have ordered some new furniture for
your room. We have just moved TO
New York and l have not been able
to get it attended to sooner. The new
things will be up tomorrow"
Juliana did not write up her notes
that evening on the sleeping accom-
modations offered servants. But she
made two notes on different subjects
and underscored them. They read
as follows:
"The cook has been called home. /

in prospect"

instant he did not see her. Then he
looked up and their eyes met. And
into the soft babble OF voices and
laughter broke two cries.
"Juliana Favrille." cried the mas
ter delightedly.
BILLY Wentworth" cried the maid
amazedly.
AS in a dream, Juliana saw the
dazed faces of Mrs. Wentworth and
her guests. Then Billy took the plat
ter from her, only to place 1t on the
nearest chair, and was holding both
hands.

He had his eyes again on Juliana

door. Il believe ] really frightened

tremendously sorry" She knew per-
fectly we'll that he was trying to place
her, doubtful of her being a guest
down at that hour, doubtful of her be-
ing the cook. He strolled across to
the cupboard evidently with the idea
of filling in the period of uncertainty,
helped himself to couple OF dough-
nuts and sat down on a corner of
table. Can / offer you anything?" he
said.
She did not answer. She went over
and began TO lay the fire.
"Oh! l say" he broke out "Is-er
hasn't Mrs. Wentworth got a cook?"
Il am doing the cooking for few
days" said Juliana. Il am the house
maid" Then by a flash of inspiration
she added, "The cook has went"
He devoted himself to his doughnuts

picked up the coal scuttle and started
for the basement. III get the coal
for you" he said. He seized the bale
of the scuttle, but Juliana did not et
go her side Of it,
Il do not think Mrs. Wentworth
would like it," She was too startled
to say anything except the first thing
that occurred to her

quired ingenuously. Surely l am bet

you"
But am hired to do it." still cling
ing to her side of the pail.
He looked down at her hand. "But
the point" he explained, lis that you
should never have been hired to do it,
The fault is in the economic condition
that makes such a thing possible.

laxed grasp and disappeared into the
basement. Anything else / can do?"
he inquired cheerfully as he deposited
the filled bucket beside the stove.

her an instant from the doorway and

Mrs. Wentworth was beaming on
her brother when Juliana carried In

Kane's reply was perhaps little alb

not called upon for any further serv-

that she was under discussion, and
went about her work with a growing
wrath within her and a paragraph

men. Not that she was able to dis

NMrs. Wentworth entered. Her face
was flushed and her eyes were bright.
Juliana, TO her great disgust, felt her
own face flushing Her eyes, after the
first glance, she kept on her potato.
Mr.. Farnsworth spoke up cheerfully.

said, that if We all worked four hours

Mrs. Wentworth interrupted. Her

gave her an innocent and inquiring
smile.

the way in which Julia holds hers"
Juliana, uncCmfortably aware of her
own lack of skill in the potato pairing
line, grew scarlet under the two pairs

starves to death. I'm not getting any
thing done, and in spite of all my eff
forts and Mrs Wentworths, Mr..
Farnsworth continues calmly to spend
the greater part of his time in the
kitchen. She looked positively aghast
today when she found him bringing up
the coal. She will visit all the intelli-
gence Offices tomorrow, | am sure"
This proved true prophecy. Kane
Farnsworth sauntered into the kitchen
in the middle of the forenoon to tell
her about it. "She wanted me to go"
he said. but / compromised by taking
the kid to that aristocratic day nurs-
cry he patronizes. | didn't feel equal
to deciding from the looks of a lady
whether she could cook" He sat
on the corner of the table and watched
Juli2na moving about in her big blue
apron with her sleeves rolled up and
patch Of -four on her chin. She had
not had time to achieve the pompa-
dour that morning, save in modified
form, and her rather delicate beauty,
which was not, strictly speaking,
beauty at all, but the charm of very
fair skin and expressive eyes, was un-
disguised. She was getting ready to
make cake, but with his eyes on her
she found herself doing all sorts of If
relevant and unnecessary things.
You won't need that, will you?" he
inquired helpfully as she lifted down
the potato masher. II wish," she
said, turning to him, her eyes very

Juiiana dropped her spoon and the

she announced.
He stood looking at her amusement,

not stop to analyze, in his gaze. You
have much sweet unreasonableness,
Juliana," he said; and then with an
other look he went away.

business. Mrs. Farnsworth spent the
morning trying to make me tell
where live, but l was firm. l intend
that they shall never know"
Juliana had her morning undis-
turbed. Mrs. Wentworth succeeded
in keeping her brother employed until
she triumphantly landed him in the
carriage to accompany her and his
small nephew TO the station. Juliana
got her Christmas dinner ready to the
last detail, taking the greatest pains.
At least Mrs. Wentworth should rea-
liZe what a good cook she had lost.
Then she ran upstairs to dress. She
got out a tailored linen bought for
an emergency and did her hair in the
broad gold brown braids that in their
ty charm of her face. Then she
pulled it all down again and piled it
up into the tremendous pompadour
she had effected since going out to
service, and she put away the hand
some gown and donned one which,
plentifully adorned with lace, had
cost $3.9S ready-made. She was going
to play fair with Mrs. Wentworth.
Even then she parted from her refec-
tion in the new mirror with a smile.
But when she ran noiselessly down
stairs intent on the finishing touches,
the carriage had returned and Mrs.
Wentworth's door was ajar. Her
voice came from it, a mingling Of hor-
ror and tears. Evidently she was
seeking the first opportunity to pour
her woes into her husbands ears.
"And do you know" she said, "he ac-
tually wants to marry her. Isn't It
too awful? He actually wants to
marry her!"
Very scarlet were Juliana's cheeks
when she reached the kitchen, and
very dark and angry her eyes. Il
shall go Immediately after dinner"
she said, "and III never see any of
them again, never, never, never!"
She went into the dining room to see
that everything was in order. The
two pretty girls. were crossing the hall
and glanced in at her indifferently
without speaking. They were beauti-
fully dressed and had holly in their
hair. They went into the drawing
room.
"Oh, Mr.. Farnsworth, do come and
sing" she heard one of them say.
Redder grew Juliana's cheeks. She
stood a moment Then she started
swiftly for the back stairs. There
was limit to human endurance. No
one, it seemed, was able to read the
real worth under a 1898 exterior.
She reached her room out of breath
but determined. 1t was too late to
