The daughter i of David Kerr looked with pity upon , her. Her discipline was too new, her : spirit was still too untamed for her to funderstand fully the kinship of the 3 human race. Although she recognized ; that she was herself without the caste Eshe thought was hers, she had not come to know that on the last great day there would be only the judgment of the just and the unjust, not of the ° high and the low, of the rich and the poor, of the wise and the ignorant, of l the master and the servant. “What’s that?” Gloria asked. The manner in which Little Ella had ~Spoken made her catch her breath with a.feeling that was akin to dread. ‘11 wjght he had ,a daughter. an’ that Gloria could not have been stabbed 'by a more cruel reply. ‘ “Ah, yes," she sighed, “but how?” “That’s up to you and yer pa. ” Little Ella recognized that the boss {was out of her sphere of influence. “Yes, yes, I know. Tell meâ€"doesâ€" vid Kerr,” she spoke the name with effort, “everâ€"come down here ?” “Him? Naw. We never see nothin’ b’ him.” His daughter gave a sigh of relief. “We don’ t know nothiz; ’ bout him much. V. e don’t see him, but ‘s": feel him. He lives alone, out in thr country." ~ “Then can he really know ?” . "He’s a man, ain’t he?” demanded the woman of the streets fiercei3 "11 s knows, but what does he care? I wisht he had a daughter. ” i “Yes, you and I. Things can’t ' go‘ .on as they are.” ° “How are we going to begin to make things right down here ?” Gloria asked} when Little Ella had sunk back upon; her pillow. There was also much which she 5could learn from this bit of flotsam cast up by an unkind sea upon a cheer- less shore. Seeing that Little Ella was not sleeping soundly, her desire 'to know more got the better of her duty as a nurse. She shook her gently, and soon was rewarded by seeing her eyes open. “Time to take your medicine,” Glo- ria answered unblushingly. This was. only a subterfuge, and it hurt her to. receive the profuse thanks which it evoked. “What you tient. “Poor girl,” murmured Gloria. “you shall see that I do understand.” Grief made Gloria insensible to the flight of time, and how long she had been prostrate on the floor before sounds on the stairs aroused her she did not know. Thinking that it must be Mrs, Hayes returning ‘with a phy- sician, she rose hastily and tried to remove all traces of her tears. She wished above all to avoid explanations, and if none was asked she did not wish to have her grief misconstrued. But it was not Mrs. Hayes, for Gloria could hear the heavy tread ascending to the floor above. Through it all Little Ella slept‘, not knowing that in her room was being enacted a tragedy of the heart more profound than any she 'with all her shallowness could live in a century of heartaches. It was now a far more grievous pros- pect than that of the long years which had confronted her when she had real- ized the previous day how solitary was to be her way. Then she had had po- sition, power. and pride; now these had been stripped from her, and noth- ing had been given her in their stead. In a passionate flood of tears she sank to the floor and cried as if her heart would break. “Joe, poor old Joe; how he has suf- fered because of me.” She had chosen in her blindness not to listen to him and now he was gone forever. She had obeyed the’dictation of pride and. stifled the prompting of love. and now her punishment seemed greater than she could bear. “He did love me. He knew, and still loved me. And I drove him away. Well. it was better so: but he did not love meâ€"once. It’s better soâ€"for him.” This made her think a Wright. Surely he had lc yond all reason to have marry her, the daughter man. How can I bear to have anyone look‘ at me on the street? I can hear them' now saying, ‘That’s she, the boss’ daughter. See her fine clothes. We know where the money came from to- buy them.’ And I, like a leper, must Where the money came from to pay, for her handsome clothes wracked her as poignantly as would a great phys- ical pain. Her thoughts were incoher- ent, skipping from one horrid phase of the situation to another. Though they were disconnected, they were not} vague. Each was a ruthless view of her deplorable position. “Begin?” The girl did not under- â€" â€"â€"â€"u “UL“U. “And with the money these unhappy creatures pay. heâ€"heâ€"God m Heaven!

With strength beyond what she had” ever known herself to possess, Gloria. seized the motionless form and dragged and rolled the man into Little Ena’s room. Before she turned to him again she closed, and bolted the door. Then “It’s a man. He’s hurt,” she called. éback to the sick woman as she knelt Eto examine him. But there was no answer. His eyes were. closed, and the pallor of death seemed to be upon his face. , She rushed across the room and‘ Twrehched open the door. At the foot for the stairway just before her was Ithe body of a man, limp and motion- flees. He had fallen so that she could not get a good look at him in the dark hallway, and she rolled him toward the door to get him on his back and ‘see his face. As she gazed upon his countenance the fingers of death itself 'seemed to seize her by the throat. Her heart gave one great leap and then stood still. 011 the floor before her lay the body of the man she loved. “Joe!” she screamed. “What are you “Joe. don’t you know me?” she. pleaded.
