she entered the home Of Mrs. Rhine

Meantime, the girl in Chicago was

brought to her task q disciplined
mind. a fine artistic taste. a delicate
but healthy body, and q pair of will.
ing, II unskilled. hands. To her sur.
prise. she discovered that the work
for which she had SO often lightly
given orders was beyond her strength.
AS the weary days succeeded each 9th
er into weeks, she found that while
her skill In table-setting and waiting
was much priced. 1t was more than on.
set by her discrepancies in other lines.
| and so 1t came about that with mutual
| consent she and Mrs. Rhinehart parted
company.
This time, with o reference, she
did not find 1t so hard to get another
place. and. after trying several. she
learned to demand certain things,
which put her finally into . home
where her ability was appreciated.
and where she was not required to do
things in which she was unskilled.
Then the son of the house came
home from college In disgrace. and
began to make violent love to her
until her case seemed almost des
perate. She dreaded inexpressibly to
make another change, for In some
ways her work was not 70 hard a. II
had been in other places. and hel
wages we're better; but from day Il
day she felt she could scarcely beaI
the hourly a~nnoyances. The othel
servants. too, were not only utterly
Luncompanionable. but deeply Jealous
of her. resenting her gentle breeding
her careful speech. her dainty per
sonal ways. her oom to herself. hel
loyalty to her mistress.
Sometimes in the cold and darkness
of the night-vigils she would remem
Der the man who had helped her. who
had promised to be her friend. and
had begged her to let him know 4
she ever needed help. Her hungr!
heart cried out for sympathy and coun
sci. In her dreams she saw him com
ing to her across interminable plains
fastening with his kindly sympathy
but she always awoke before he reach
ed her.
1t was about this time that the firm
Of Blackwell. Hanover & Durham hat
a difficult case to work out which In
volved the gathering of evidence from
Chicago and whereabouts. and 1t wa
with pleasure that Judge Blackwell &C
cepted the eager proposal from tn

that reigned in the tiny kitchen. In
the afternoon the would-be waitress
sat down with a box Of water-colors
to paint dinner-cards, and as her skill

landscapes, lovely flowers. and little
brown birds, she pondered the strange
ness OF her lot.
The table the ext night was laid

Of flowers having been used to best
