An Amazing Request Staggers
Miss Vassell.

repetition of word or phrase.

ceremony, In which l ask you to
assist me. You will be married to
this man, and you will leave him
as soon as you are legally declared
his wife. You will never see him
again-he will certainly not intrude
upon you. This is part Of the
contract. You must not even seek
to know his name-for the world
and yourself-you remain Miss
vassell. Tomorrow you can. If
you like, imagine that the whole
thing has been a dream. Only
there will be the money-and, OF
course, you must not think OF
marrying any one else. There is
no other condition" She made a
sharp gesture with her hand.
"You are not in love, or any
thing of that sort, are you?" she
asked quickly.
"No," faltered Esther. There
had been little enough Of love in
her life.
That's all right, then. Well, the
whole question is this-l1l state

by craning her neck, she could get
view Of the street.
|. A smart automobile was drawn
up at the door Of the house > in
which they lived, and a tall woman
was awaiting an answer to her
ring. Esther decided that the new
comers, who had just taken the
first floor, must have wealthy
friends and then dismissed the
subject from her mind. The ket-
tie was boiling now.
She was interrupted by the pre-
cipitate thrush of Jane Emily, the
overworked and underfed house
maid Of the family with whom the
girl roomed, Jane Of the crooked
cap and perennial curlingpins.
Just now James cap was nearly of
her head and James thin lips were
twitching with excitement. She
gesticulated with her red hands,
out Of breath.
"What is the matter, Jane?"
asked Esther mildly. "Please
don't wake my sister if you can
help it."
"No, miss. Please, miss, there's
a lady just come in that funny
carriage, miss, as wants to see
you immediate"
"To see me?"
Esther looked up from the tea
cups in blank astonishment.
Esther Is Called to Meet a Visitor.
Eyes, miss. And please, miss,
Mrs. Doyle, she says, Show the
lady into the sitting room, seeing
as she is lady. and Miss Vassell
can see her there. Not as its
usual she says, but you may tell
Miss Vassell I said So So will
you please come down, miss, as
you're wanted"
"The lady wishes to see me?"
Esther interrupted the flow of elo-
quence. "Did she give a name?"
'No. miss. but she said as It was
very important"
I'll come at once" said Esther.
"Will you say so? And please
thank Mrs. Doyle for allowing ne
to use her sitting room"
Mrs. Doyle's sitting room was on
the ground floor in the front.
A tall woman, heavily cloaked
and veiled. stood by the mantel
piece, gazing abstractedly at the
faded photograph Of Mrs. Doyle's
late husband. Jane Emily had
described her as a lady, but she and
her mistress had probably jump
ed to this conclusion from the
manner Of her conveyance and
from the palpably valuable furs.
The woman's face was hidden by
the dark veil, and her figure was
disguised by the heaty cloak II
was impossible to say II she was
young or old. Her voice itself was
mufhsd by the folds OF chiffon that
lay across her mouth.

The door closed behind her, and
q few minutes later Esther was
listening to the sound of the de-
parting car. Then silence fell In
the street and in the house. and #
was as II she were waking pain
fully from some vivid nightmares :.
She sprang up from her chair aeA

down the room from door to win

lawyers, Messrs. Gray & Benson.
So for two years or longer ex-
istence in the East Side attic-it
was little more-had been pos
sfble, and Esther had even saved a
few dollars in the hope Of soon
bettering their position. Then
once more-this time owing to .
quarrel with a new forewoman-
she had been thrown out of work,
and, as day succeeded day. her
chance Of obtaining anything re-
munerativs seemed to grow more
remote. As far as she could she
kept her own counsel, and Dora SO
far had been stinted in nothing;
but the girl was keen-witted and
observant, and when the small re-
serve fund had been expended,
and Esther was surreptitiously
smuggling familiar articles of her
own belongings from the room for
the purpose Of raising what lit
tie money she could upon them.
it became impossible any longer
to conceal the true state Of affairs.
And the full knowledge of their
position brought to Dora not pa
tience, but vexation Of spirit, so
that Esther found no comfort

ings abroad.

thing to Do.
Day after day she plodded the
streets on fruitless errands. She
rang futilely at many doors, she
spent Improbable hours in dreary
waiting rooms among crowds OF
fellow strugglers. Her very youth
and good looks were against her;
her invariable neatness did not be-
token want. What Is she doing

turned upon her, ignorant OF the
real need that for very shame
strove to hide Itself. There was
none to speak for Esther: she had
no friends, no references, no one
to advise or assist her in her
quest.
1t was when the outlook appear
ed blackest that a fresh disaster
occurred. Esther had betaken her
self to the lawyers from whom she
received her weekly dole, in the
hope that they could perhaps help
her to find employment. To her
dIsmay she was Informed by them
that the company in which her
uncle's legacy had been invested
was bankrupt and she would re-
ceive no more money. There was
IS owing to her. and that was the
last. And so with IS and a few
pennies in her purse as all of her
worldly possessions, Esther was
bowed TO the door and turned her
steps homeward to be received. as
