and the hall door had flown open in response to her latchkey when from somewhere in the darkness ueur a voice came tremulous pleading voice pity oh for the lose of god pity me who are eu where arc yoa asked lottie startled and stopping right where the hall light shone in her face and dazzled her eyes here and from the shadow beside the door rose a womans figure a woman that the next moment also stood in the light showing wrinkled aged face and snow- white hair covered with a tattered bit of shawl i am freezing starving and may be dying if you have any pity give me some food and some kind of shelter she said with a desperate sort of famished eagerness i will oh i will come right in cried lottie her voice qmvering and her eyes shining with the generous pity that flooded her young heart i have no place i can take you but my room on the top floor can yoa climb the stairs for warmth and food yes yes lead the way cried the woman eagerly looking at the girl with a trembling delight baming in her hollow eyes i can follow anywhere b at she was aged and weak and the four long flighte of stairs were slowly accom- pushed lottie assisting her companion as well as the narrow staircase would

already laid for thefixe and at a touch from lotties match blazed and crackled with amazing brightness is not that lovely she cried turning to her strange visitor now yoa will soon be warm and injnst a few minatfes i will have a cup of tea jfovc nearer wont you apparently speechless mth grateful amaze and delight the woman did as bid throwing off her wet tattered shawl and holding her wrinkled hands over the blaze jrhile her eager eyes still followed every move lottie made i am my own housekeeper you sae continued the girl- gayly as if wishing to make her visitor less timid and more at home here is my little kitchen and with a merry laugh she threw open the thos ebbageriuanaffer uooi- to a large closet showttftf within two ncgth- jmprcd shelvoi of dishes and tins vrhlla ou a small tabic
