Dr. George Moultrie looked up from his book at 'the maid who was dust ing his study, ' Several times &t bad occurred to him that she was unlike his mother's other maids. The tightly fitting black dress showed the lives of a slender, erect young figure. Her hair was brushed tightly back mto a bard knot. Her head, with its unbecoming hair as rangement and the white cap of ser Wes, was held well back on her shoul- ders as if the firm, round chin had ali the girl's life been tilted at a pro- nounced angle. « Her hands were small, with long, tapering fingers, They had the robghness of labor, but not the distorted joints of ex cessive hard work, She turned 'and met his scrutiny, Her face reddened look of apprehension flashed in her eves. She whired around and re sumed the wielding of her dusteloih. That al oon, wild frightened screams rang suddenly through the house. - Dr. Moultrie bounding down the stairs saw in the drawing room a cloud of smoke, through which he could stinguish several figures. On the r near an overturned tea ta- ble, whose alcohol lamp had started the fire, lay a woman covered with . A Tug. Beside her knelt Jane, the houemaid, pressing the rug close a bout the woman and beating with her hand the flames that shot from under the rug. Around them scream- ed 'his mother and her friends. In a moment the fire was extin- guished. The injured woman was the curious and a "~eook, who had been aststing the maid in the drawing room when the table had been overturned. When the cook had been made com fortable in her own room Dr. Moul- tiie went in Search of Jave. He found her in the kitchen rubbing -oil on her blistered hands and arms. "What does all thi mean ?" asked abruptly. "What does what mean 7" "Who are you and what are doing here ¥' "YI am Jane White, your 'mother's employ."

'I shall be a'clerk in a great store where women as cruel as I was shall treat me as a soulless, bloodless automa- tion. ' Through the experience of mutual hardships | shall learn love and sympathy for other women." "You have made a good begin. ping. It whs a working woman whose life you saved at the. risk of your own." "1 am glad it was the cook," she said simply. "It is a joy to me to know that I have been kind to at least ope working woman." Several weeks later D. Moultrie, the physician for the Mills, foung In the room of a pa tient an amazing transformation. The, patient was a young factory operator. For days she had lain in her poor, bare, little room, ill, dis- couraged, without hope to stimulate the feebly flickering vital flame, But a change had come to both the room and the girl There were new white curtains at the windows, rugs on the floor, pictures, flowers, snowy dinen. On a table and oyer- flowing bed were dresses, hats, shoes and lingerie, dainty, inex- pensive clothés carefully chosen: The sick girl's cheks were pink and her eyes wdre like stars. ' "I am well," she anounced joy- fully: - "It is Miss White who has done it." The girl, unused to a de- lineation of her deeper feelings struggled for words to express the change in her inner being as well as in the externals. 'She brought nie good things and good cheer and took away the horried, dark ugli- ness of this 'place and the bitter, sad thought I've had all the time. I've been working hard. 1 had to help mother and my young sister, who' was not strong enough to work. All my gnoney went for hoard and rent, never a good time because I was too shabby to go any- where. Then I got sick and was too discouraged to get wel. Miss White worked in the same * room with me at the factory. She came to see me and found out alk . my troubles and theh the sun for good fortune began to shine in this poor hut. She knows some rich woman who don't like to mend their own clothes and she askea to bring their things to my mother and sister to be mended. There will be all the work they can do--pleasant 'work with good pay. She brought me these clothes. She sald they be- longed to a girl who could not wear them and wanted me to have them. It isn't hiird to ge. well when there's somebody to make you see that there are kindness and good- ness even down in this poor suffer- ing corner of the world." When the employes came from the factory Dr. Moultrie joined a plainly dressed woman. "I have dus' come from Milly Smith," he said. "You have made her a hap- »¥ girl and given her a chance for recovery." "Poor little Milly. She had a family to'support and she also had a sweetheart, She was too good and too unselfish to withhold from her dependent mother and sister any of her wages. She was too proud to go about with her sweet- heart in her rags; neither would she tell him why she would not go out with him. He thought she did not care for hiln and he began to look at other girls. Hard work, small 'wages, dependent relatives and faithless lover were more than Mil- 1¥'s strength could bear. Her mo- ther and sister are now . self-sup- porting. The next time she sees her young man she will be wearing pretty clothes and showing him that she is willing to go to picture shows and beach dances with him."
