In Hie nne-toom of Meredith & Sun's great cotton factory, In Philadelphia, a croup of clrls were standing engncea 1 ii an animated discussion. Thoy were all youns. some pretty, all dressed neatly, tlinuch many wore Ill-chosen and unbecoming finery. Ono of these, who had a mock gold chain and brace lets, nntl a ptofuslrm of jet trimmings upon a cheap silk dress, sho spoke very emphatically "It Is tho stingiest pro ceeding I over heard nf 1" "What are you all so excited about?" asked a pretty llttlo blondn, coming hi from the looming room. "Ellen Churchill!" "Dear mo ! What has sho been do ing now ? You are always discussing some tlrcdful deed of Ellen's. 1 like her myself." ' Yes, wo all know that," said the first speaker; "you will defend anything Ellen does." "Hut what has she done?" "Refused to sign the enbscrlption list for the taukard to bo presented to Mr. I!6dman." "And Mr. Rodman has been such a good friend to her!" said a third vclco. The little blondo, Susy Whiting by name, looked rather staggered at tbe new accusation against her friend. Mr. Rodman manager for Meredith & Son for uearlv Dftv vears. was about to ro' tire on account of the Infirmities of age, and tho persons engaged in tho great factory were collecting money to buy a silver tankard to present to him. lie was a kindly old man, and always reany to lend a helpins hand to the small army of work-poople under his control; so that the presentation yat really a gift of lovo Ellen Churchill came to the creat fac tnry two years urcvious to the date of aiie indignation meetlnz In the ante room, iiiid had risen to the position of lorevvofnan in one of the loom-room. She was a handsome cirl of about twenty when sho applied for work, and by every action and word betrayed the fact that sho had stenned from a life of refinement to the drudgery of a factory hand. Iler low, even tone betrayed tho lady in its' well-chosen words; and her sunt, wimo nanus boro no trnco of toll upon their smooth sklu. She was cotirto ous to all who came Into Intercourse with her, but Intimate with none. Hha had nursed Smy Whiting through a long period of contagious fever, winning the devotion of that llttlo maiden, and the manager soon nut her In nosltlons of trust till she became forewoman. Here her education enabled her to kiwn the books required In tho room, thus doubliug her salary Ana nero was tho great cround of complaint by her companions. It was well knonnthat the t-alary of Ellen Churchill was sufficient to warrant a good style of living and dressing. In the great boarding-house, where seven ty ol the girls had rooms, she could wr!I nfford to pay for the best, to contribute to the amusement of tho house, and dress well. Iustead of all this, sho lived In tho attic. Doorlv furnUhed. with a tiny stovo. where hu cooked tin cheapest of food. Iler dress was of tho coarsest description, made oy her own hands, and no ornament broke its severo simplicity. She never snent inouev in any pleasure-seeking, nor joined In any ui mo ijuibi inurnment iu llie House. But tho crownlnc enormltv was tha re. fusal to contribute to the silver-tankard. i HO excited eroUI) in tho antn.rnmn dispersed for the day, walking homo In the twilight of September evening, and still they talked ot tho young forewo man. Tho question !s," said Marv Loleh. who had been foremost In tho anto- room discussion "what does she do with her money ? Sho never puts any In the factory savlntrs bank; sho certaluly spends nothing ou her dress. Where Is It all then?" "Perhaps she supports her parents?" "Hoth dead I I liavo heard her sav so I" "Well, I dare 8a v Mr. Rodman won't think her such a paragon as ho has done, when he misses her narno from tho subscription list." "And Walter Rodman wl orobablv reseut the Insult to his father." The was an exultation In the tone of the last remark, but Ill-concealed. Wal. ter Rodman, tho only child of tho old jianager, was Iai the countlnc-house of the factory, with every prospect of soon becoming a partnor. A man past thirty, bo had risen In the employ of Meredith nndSon, irom a lad of fourteen, and had saved money from a handsome salary, with the avowei Intention of purchasing a place In tho firm, upon tne anticipated retirement of old Mr. Meredith, who was known to favor tna Intention. Among all the clerks ar.d workman In the great factory, thero was no one so handsome as' Walter Hodman, none so quietly re3ned in manner, none so meat a favorite) with all. Hut he had cone throuch tlilrtv , years of life, faucv fiee. until Ellen Churchill canio to the factory. There was something lu the noble, refined face of the youug gill that at tracted Walter Rodman from the first. That thero was some heavy trouble broodini; in the sadness of her creat dark eyes ho never doubted, but if ever purity and goodness were pictured In. human counteuauce, they were In Ellen's. From his father ho learned1 much of the new-comer, of the oulck adaptability she showed fur work evl- ueutiy new to her, of the almost mascu line brain that fitted her so Soon to take coutrol of the loom-room where over a hundred girls were at work. Ot her antecedents, he knew only that she brought a letter from the clergy man of her parish, In a small town of Now York Stato. That she was a wo man of culture and refinement they could seo for themselves. But Walter Rodman, by nature frank and true, as his heart raoro and more acknowledged Ellon for Its queen, grieved over tho evident mystery In her life. While In her conversation she ad vanced noble and generous views, her whole stylo of living was penurious to an extent rnrely seen In women of her age, when living upon a much smaller salary than sho commanded. It was not merely economy, but saving pushed to extremity. Thero was a struggle constantly In tho mind of the young clerk a struggle between his love and his tear ot reoent- nnce, If he urged his suit. It was re voltlnc to him to think of his wlfa con. ducting his household upon parslmonl ous principles, refusing to bestow of ins auundanco In charity, dresslnc nicauiy, aim pernaps inuuencing him to tho same miserly habits. And yet, one hour with Ellen drovo awav all such thoughts. 'llio low, soft volco, always tinged by her habitual sadness, conveyed such a mirror oi a euro, tender heart, a cum. vatod mind, a noble soul, that Walter forgot tho coarse, mean dress, tho tnanv stories rife in the factorv of Klinn'.a stinginess, and knew l)o Jovcdheras no naa never ucforo loved any woman. But when the silver tankard was pre sented to Mr. Rodman,and Ellen's name was not upon tho list of contributors to tne girt, Walter experienced a sharp pang of disappointment. He knew his father's recommendation had (rained Ellen her first place In the factory, that she had found a firm friend In him, and owed her rapid advancement to his interest and lutluence. And yet sho had refused her mlto to the gift that uiauutua mo goon reeling or ner reiiotr workers In the factorv I Father and son had long been confi dential friends ; andbn the evening fol lowing tho presentation the latter open ed his heart and told all his doubts and tears, sir. Rodman listened quietly, 'Tel you lovo Ellen." he maid. "I lovo her," replied Walter, "but I couiu never oe nappy with a miserly wife." "Poor Ellen, how little she deserves that reproach 1" said Mr. Rodman. "I shall violate a confidence reposed In me, Walter, when 1 tell von hnw vnn mu Judge her, hut I think I can trust you." "Una l,u (,.1.1 ......

Six1 years ago Ellen's mother died, leaving In her care a sickly step-brother, then eleven years old. Her own father had leit El len a pretty cottage, and had a small Income from tho fruit and poultry on the place while sho made a sufficient living by teaching music and playing the organ In the church. When her mother died, leaving Steven Qradv. linr step-brother, nu orphan and peuityless (for her step. father before his de.ith squandered all her mother's little for tune;, wien promised to caro for the boy. Remember. She was hut slvtopn herself, though early care had matured her beyoud her actual years. "The boy grow up like his father, reckless of expenditure, loose In prin ciple, yet tender to his sister-mother, and ono of those lovinir scanecraeea who always .win some tood wnmnn'a devotion. Ho won Ellen's. Klin thought herself bound by her promise to her mother to mako every sacrifice for Steven, and she faithfullv tried ru lead him away from tho companions and evil Influences that were ruining his life. Three years aeo a friend of Mrs. Gardy's took Stenhen Into his counting noiiso. Here he was to learn tho book-keeping, and for a time ho worked steadily. Then the bad com. pany that had ruined his boyhood again exerted an evil lutluence, and be learn ed to gamble Remember, Walter, he was out fourteen, and Ellen but five years older. "Uno of his accomplishments was tho power of Imitating bund writing, and by the persuasion of bouie older heads be forged a check of two thousand dollars on the firm he was with. Tho check passed the bank undetected, for tho eashler was In tho habit of paying over largo sums to Gardy. But when It was returned to tho firm, the forgery was discovered and traced to Stephen. Then the truth cauie out that he had gambled away the entire amount, and the two men who had urged tho crimei and pocketed the money had tied. Icavim? the lad to bear the conseuunces. Ho was arrested, and repentance camo when he saw the full consenuenco of his acts. "It was then that Ellen moved her- self a noble woman I bellove her to be. Sho was suffering already for her brother's crime, having lost her pluce as organist, anil most of her music pupils Having ten uer, uespito all this, she went to the fiun and pleaded for tho lad.
