JUDGE NOT.
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
