CHAPTER VI.
A DAY OFF.
Jano Graves was putting on her hat and
fa led plaid shawl for another dreary day’s
work. Sho bated it with all the passion of
her nature. She saw nothing in it hut
slavery and degradation, and in her impa¬
tience thought she would rather die than
drag out her life thus. Somebody must do
the work, but not such as she, surely.
“Come here, my dear.”
She had beer, lingering aimlessly, only
that she dreaded to turn her feet toward tha
factory, whoso tolling bell rang sternly in
her cars. Now she approached her mother’s
bed with a gentler expression on her face.
Tho thin hands were laid on her arm, and
the sick woman drew tho girl’s head down on
the pillow beside her own.
“Was™over so pretty as you, I wonderT
sho said wistfully. “They used to say I was
tho prettiest in tho village.” And tho sunken
eyes brightened at sweet memories, the
sweetest i:i the world to a woman.
“It did you little good, mother,” said tha
gild i •Aui.Vl voice.
Li. marc aha started ua-
“There, mother,! am late again: a qur.rt.ej
day’s pay lost, and a scolding gained.”
Tho sick woman’s eyes opened wide, and
tha girl waited one sad - minute more, to sea
how terribly white tho poor face looked even
against her pillow.
“I had something to say, I thought,” said
tho woman eagerly, “but I can’t remember,
I am so sick. But perhaps it wasn’t any¬
thing. You may go now, dear; I am sorry I
kept you.”
The’girl pinned her shawl about her. What
good of looking in the glass? It could only
tell her sho was pretty, as her mother used to
be, and remind her what a fool she was to
exjK-ct a different fate. Fifteen years, and
she might be sick and broken on this very
bed, perhaps telling her own unhappy child
how pretty she used to be. Tho girl shud¬
dered at tho picture as she went out of her
mother’s room.
“Oh! I remember now,” called the sick
woman.
“Did you want the tea put near you?”-
asked the girl, coming back wearily.
“It is not that—but—but you are not to go
to work today. Homebody is coming to see
you. He wants you to live with him.”
“What, to marry me?” exclaimed the girl
in astonishment.
“He didn't speak of that,” smiled her
mother, languidly, “but I can’t talk any
more, I am so tired.”
Jane Graves had learned one lesson of pov¬
erty, not to hope. Bo after this strange an¬
nouncement of her mother's she only laid off
her hat and shawl, and waited. After look¬
ing idly out of tho window for a while, and
seeing nothing that had not wont itself into
her very soul years ago, tho vague woman
instinct stirred in her and she moved about
the house arranging things, She found a
little map that hung in the sitting room a
little awry and straightened it. It was a
dingy map of China that had come once with
a pound of tea, and she wanted to throw it
away, but the wall-looked too tore without
anything. She took down a couple of ugly
little gift chromos her father had placed on
the mantelpiece and tore them up in disgust,
There seemed nothing else to do, there was
so little to arrange. She wasn’t so sure but it
was better in the mill—perhaps it was a
blessing the'poor were kept so many hours in
its grim walls, where at least there was but
little chance to think. What was there to
long for in such homes and such leisure as
this!
She stepped to the closet and took out a
well thumbed book and sat down. She turn¬
ed two or three pages, and then counted how
many times sho had read them before, and
she felt sick with the foolish hopes and
dreams tho oft read book had used to wake in
her.
She laid it away with a sigh and picked up
an old newspaper. How slow the forenoon
went.
She read down the advertising columns.
How many beautiful things in the world, and
all for sale! Somebody must have the money
to buy them or the stores wouldn’t be run¬
ning. Where was it all? Did anybody work
any harder for it than her father and herself?
Jane Graves opened her little pocketbook and
shook it over the table; but it was as empty
as the day she bought it.
Then there came a light tap on the street
door. This must be the “gentleman,” this
tall, elegant figure in a checked summer suit;
and he actually lifted his hat to her.
“My name is Ellingsworth.”
He needn’t have told her; he had figured
in tho girl’s fancy for years as the very im¬
personation of rank and wealth.
“I called about a maid. Mr. Graves gave
me leave to speak with his daughter. Is she
in?”
“I suppose I am the one. Will you come
in?"
She watched him as he crossed the room lo
the nearest chair. How much lighter he
walked than she could; and one might have
thought from his unconsciousness that he Ipid
been used to just such a miserable room as
this all his life. Ho showed no surprise at
her being the prospective maid servant; no
doubt he knew it all the time, and the way
he spoke was only a part of his good man¬
ners. But then sho could not imagine his
showing surprise at anything.
“There will bo but little to do,” Mr. El¬
lingsworth continued, looking at her face and
not seeming to see how ill she was dressed.
‘There is only my daughter; you may have
seen her, yes? and myself. The wages will
bo small,” and ho named them and smiled
apologetically, as if he expected her to de¬
cline. “Your father spoke to me as if you
did not like the factories.”
Out at service; well, why not? Could it.be
any more degrading than the life she lived!
and such wages, too. Why, she could dress
quite prettily then; and her girlish heart
fluttered. And sin could leave ugly things
and rude people, and breathe perfumes and
have only graceful surroundings; what mat¬
ter if they were not hers!
She would to lifted right up in the very
atmosphere she longed for. Yesterday she
hod envied the Ellingsworths, to-morrow she
coaid share their beautiful life with them.
Why not?
She lifted her bright eyes to his fare. It
was in half profile at this moment, and she
could sec his hair was just touched with gray.
How could men in this world ever grow old.
He was smooth shaved, showing in full effect
the delicate, cynical curve of his thin lip and
the clearly defined outlines of his chin. He
must have been very oddly affected by tke
poverty pictured so unmistakably about him;
but there was not the smallest sign of it on
his well bred face.

“I will go, she gold abruptly; “when do
you want roe?"
“I shall be away for a fortnight,” he said,
rising, with, his own admirable smile. “You
can come when I return.”
She rose too, but could think of nothing
proper to say.* But how poverty stricken sho
would look in her factory clothes. Her
spirits had fallen already.
“By tho way,” Mr. Ellingsworth turned, as
if a sudden business item had struck him. It
was a peculiar expressionless monotone he
used sometimes when on delicate subjects
that seemed to have as little personal quality
as a printed page. “I always pay in advance;
to kind enough to accept your first month’s
wages and our bargain will be closed.”
The girl found herself alone, looking at the
crisp, fresh looking bank bills he had placed
in her hands. “How thoughtful these rich
people are. They have time for it, I sup¬
pose.”
Her wardrobe was very simple. There
hung over tho back of the chair tho dull
check of a merino, chosen long ago to endure
the most service with the least show of it.
On the bureau before the mirror was a paper
box holding a discarded ribbon or two. pink
or cardinal, and two or thrqp pieces of cheap
je elry the girl was too proud to wear.
“It won’t take me long to pack,” sho said
aloud.
She suddenly took a pretty attitude of lis¬
tening. She had closed the door into tha
sick chamber in a moment more and stood in
the middle of the sitting room when Curran
came ill.
“Why, you don’t look very sick, Jennie. 1
have to walk to Lockout by 8 o’clock, but
thought I would look in just a minute."
“1 am going to leave the mill.” How pre-
occupiod he seemed to-night. “I am going to
leave tho mill, Mr. Curran,” the girl repeated
with beating heart. He might not like her
acw - Joii .avl at the very thought of < his dis¬
approval sho felt all her bright hopes taking
to themselves wings; and tho old dreary pic¬
ture of factory gates and soiled calico dresses
came back.
“Going away, little girl?” He seemed to
speak with n slight effort, as if his mind was
not on what he said. “Well, I suppose you
can’t bo any worse off, but we shall miss
you.”
And was that all he had to say when he
thought she was going forever out of his life
—had he no reproaches for her?
“I am not going far,” she began hurriedly. He
“There would be no use going far."
had seated himself on the other side of the
table from her, and rested his face on his
hand. “It is just the same everywhere.
Wherever there are a thousand souls ton will
grind the rest. I don’t suppose the rich
mean to be so unjust, not all of them; they
don’t stop to notice that they are getting all
the good things in tho world. It never oc¬
curs to them to wonder why the great earth
seems to produce only for them.”
Jane Graves sat back in her chair, her
hands crossed in her lap. Why didn't he
talft about her just a little? She looked up
at his absorbed face wistfully.
“Why, Jennie, sometimes I get so tired
trying to stand up against it all, so sick of
my own heartache, that I can make nobody
share with me.” He had risen to his feet and
was walking moodily across the room. That
very night ho must pour out all the precious
energy of his soul into dull, stolid ears, that
seemed so slow to understand. A hall full
of strange faces would look up coldly at him,
and his hot words would be quenched as they
fell from his lips, in tho unmoved depths of
their hearts. It seemed so vain, all he could
do or say, and he felt so tired to-night, long¬
ing, instead, to rest his head on some gentle
breast, and be soothed with some foolish
words of comfort and tenderness.
The girl had risen, too, and stood resting
the back of her hand on the table. But her
eyes dared notjlift to his. She tried to
speak, anil her lips trembled so that her
voice came, strange and unfamiliar.
“I am sorry for you. Is there no one, no
woman?” she half whispered.
“Women do not care for such as I,” he
said, smiling a little bitterly. “They lovo
light and pleasant things. I am too serious.
I should only frighten them; they could not
understand.”
Then he camo toward her with a softer
light in his eyes.
“You are a good little girl, Jennie.” He
had taken her trembling hands, which only
trembled the more. “I shall miss you very
much. What is the trouble with your eyes,
Jennie, you can’t look at me? I am going
uow.”
Then she raised her eyes, like lightning, to
his face.
“Oh, let mo comfort you,” she cried. “I
would die for you. I will ask nothing back
but a smile now and then. Nobody can ever
love you like me.”
His face was troubled, but cold and im¬
passive as rock. He still held her hands, as
she sank in a heart breaking flood of tears at
his feet.
After a moment he bent down in pity, and
gathered her trembling form in his arms.
How tho sobs seemed to shake her. He
smoothed back her wavy hair from the low
forehead, and even kissed her wet cheeks.
But all he said was:
.“Poor little girl, poor little Jennie.”
For an instant she lay still as a nestling
child. Then she sprang back from him, and
fled into her mother’s room, and wept and
moaned for shame and heartache, until the
calm of weariness came over her, as nature’s
blessed gift to her hopeless children.
CHAPTER VIL
A TEST.
“Isn’t your father going?”
It was the same evening, and Philip Breton
was assisting Bertha into his beach wagon
for a twilight drive.
“Father has left town for a few days.
Didn’t you know? Suppose go i Lt me have
the back seat. The world is large enough to
afford us a seat apiece to-night.”
Bertha adjusted her wraps and the horses
stepped off down tho street as gayly as if
their driver had not been disappointed.
There was not very much conversation to¬
day; indeed there never was unless Philip
afforded it. Bertha considered she did her
part in looking well, smiling prettily at his
witticisms, with now and then a remark, if
she felt inclined. But today Philip was
moody and silent. So Bertha gave herself
up to the sensuous delight of riding, and only
spoke in mild exclamations of admiration of
tho scenery as they left the village behind
and followed up the winding river.
But suddenly Philip saw a man's form
swaying easily while he took great strides
along the footpath.
“Curran,” he exclaimed, and stopped his
horses close beside him. The man turned, and
one might have thought he did not recognize
the occupants of the carriage, except that
there was the least bit of o flush on his face,
which bore the lines of interrupted medita¬
tion. Then he bowed slightly to Philip.
“And you don’t recollect me, I suppose,”
smiled Bertha.
“I am not so stupid,” he said, letting his
steel blue eyes rest admiringly upon her.
“We are going to Lockout, too. Yon must
get in with us.”
“No, I won't crowd you; don’t move.”
And he turned a little away from them as if
to continue his walk.
“Certainly you mast!” said Bertha; “see, I
have a whole seat to myself and it is so stupid.
Please.”
And Curran toon toe seat she offered him,
bolding back her wraps till be was seated,
and then releasing them.
•Do you think I shall ever learn to weave
cotton clothr asked Philip, to call hi* atten¬
tion to their day’s work together.
“I presume so, if you really mean to. Hut
it is lucky you haven’t got your board to pay
meanwhile.”
But Curran did not smile, and was very ill
at ease. He te am ed to to lifted, body and
soul, into the very life bo was a ••—'■'tinned to
rebuke. The beautiful hor to rich
were harnessed today to 1 1 ure with
their gold plate trimmings. ,, nat right had
he here? Hesaid nothing of it, but felt intense¬
ly the falseness of his position. The delicate
springs hurt him, and every sign of lavish
wealth in the dress of his comp >ns. He
wanted no interests with the i . his life
work must to against them, b lesired no
association with a luxurious manner of life
which he ought to upbraid. There must not
be ono chain of gold to unite him with the
wealthy class in whom ho saw the enemies of
the [icople.
And yet he was taking delight in this wo¬
man’s preseHce, a new delight, such as th.i
women Of tho poor had never given him.
And was not she tho very essence of luxury
and refinement? Ho hated himself for it, but
for all be tried to look elsewhere he kept sor¬
ing the siuirkle of the diamonds on the
whitest hand lie had over seen. He enjoyed
the lilies of the valley set in mosaic at her
throat, which -showed its creamy white
against tho delicate ruffles, anil the comb
with its land of Roman gold almost the
shade of the rippling hair it restrained. But
were not these tho very extravagances the
poor had to struggle to earn for her? IF
ought to to fulminating withering rente:
for such as she.
“I will get out at the rucks and wall; the
rest of the way,” said Curran at last, ns they
could catch a glimpse of Lookout in tho dis¬
tance. “Tho workmen l want to talk to
would hardly understand my coming with a
carriage and pair.”
Tho “rocks” came but a mile from Look¬
out anil the horses trotted so well that the
spot was reacuod in a few moments more. Tho
road at this point had been cut through a
side hill of sandstone by dint of great blast¬
ing and the jagged edges jutted out angrily
at the passers by.
“There must to a wonderful landscape on
the other sido of the rooks,” said Bertha, as
Philip stopped his horses for Curran to
alight. “Have you plenty of time?” she
asked, before the workman could express Lis
thanks.
“An hour to spare.”
She looked wistfully at tho envious rocks
that shut them in and then at Curran’s
grave face.
“I would so like to see that view from tho
top of tho rocks if I had some one to help
me.”
Curran’s face suddenly flushed with
pleasure. “I should like to help you.”
fn a minute more Bertha wug climbing the
rocks with her strange escort, and Philip sat
holding his horses quite a little distance back.
“You didn’t talk very much during our
drive,” said Bertha, as sho stood with her
companion looking off down the valley. “Is
it so wicked of us to be rich?”
He shot a sudden deprecating look at her.
“Don’t force me so far. I cannot say it
now.”
Bertha smiled. “Then leave me out of it;
say Philip instead.”
“He is enjoying the fruits of terrible injus¬
tice.”
“But would his father have been rich un¬
less he had deserved it?” asked Bertha.
“Is it a just reward of merit, then, that a
thousand human creatures should well nigh
starve, and he be rich? If he has deserved to
be rich, you must say they have merited star¬
vation.”
Tho girl liked to hear his earnest, thrilling
tones, and watch his eyes flash and his nos¬
trils dilate with such rare passion.
“Is it just,” he went on, “that no matter
Uow unweariedly .a [laborer works, his idle
neighbor, as surely as the sun sets, should
lay intolerable tribute, on his profits so that
he must stay forever poor ? Is a day’s work
worth nothing? Then why does it bring in
some capitalist thousands of dollars for a
stroke of his pen?”
Bertha understood hut little of what he
was saying, but sho could look intently at
him with wide open blue eyes, which had a
pretty trick of changing expression as if in
closest sympathy with a speaker. Curran
Celt no ono had half listened to him before,
that at last every word told, anil he was
strangely excited by the sweet mystery of
heir common inspiration.
“Great wealth is made up of 10,000 trick¬
ling streams, drained from the paltry earn¬
ings of as many defrauded workmen. Mere
sunning rcheming ought not enable a man to
turn aside tho great river of plenty, which
flows for all men. Why these shrewd busi¬
ness men. whom so many praise, havo so iu-
reoiously placed their chains on the laborer,
:bat the harder he stGiggles to escape from
poverty, he only turns tho faster the wheel
that grinds out fortunes for his masters, and
iraws him in at last to be crushed.”
He hesitated for her to ask him some ques¬
tions, and perhaps it was already as plain to
her as to him. At any rate, she only looked
off to the west where the glow of sunset was
fast fading, and t hen back iuto his face re¬
gretfully.
“I suppose wo ought to go down," she said.
“Why, yes, I had forgotten whether it was
r»ic,ht or davi”
