Learning his Value,
Mr. Marcus Wilkinson sat atone
la bis office, with a dainty little por
fumed note between his fingers, and
a puzzled frown upon hia brow. The
note, (iireoioii in a graceiui ana lem
nine hand, waa brief :
Dcia Gcard! : I will bo at the
office at ten in the morning, to con

The loot silvory stroke of the

opened by a clork and Millie l!out

ward of whom Marcus Wilfciuson
alwos thought as a pearl, a lily, ov
ery thing pure and fmr. Hue was of
medium height. Blunder and grace
fill, with a thoughtful face of ex'jiiis-
ite bounty.
Very young, only" 18, Millie Bent-
ley had borne early the sorrows of
life. Her father, haviug been woal
thy, had failed, in busiuoas, and
eommitied suicide. Her mother,
delicate and helpless, had fought
poverty feebly for two years, and
sinking Under privation and toil,
had contracted a fatal diaoase.
Wben all hope of life was oVor, tho
bews came that Millio's Uncle, dying
abroad, bad left a large fortune to
Lis only Bister. A will was made by
the dying woman, leaving bor own
too lately won independence to Mil
lie, and appointing their old friend
Marcus Wilkinson guardian to the
heiress.
Sorrowing and womanly, beyond
bar years, Millie bad turned from
her own grief to a nobla eudeavor
to solace some of the trials of those
with whom her own poverty bad
made her familiar. A oousin had
come at Mr. Wilkinson's request to
make a home for his ward, and she
resumed . ma u y
long-interrupted
studies. But a large portion of her
time was spent in the humble homes

never hesitating, past the rospoota-
ble portion of the city, to a quarter
known as the 'Factory Row,' a place
where Mr. Wilkinson had never be
fore allowed his ward to go. For
there were apt to be fevers and con
tagions diseases lurking there- It
lay low, and was nnhealtby, and the
houses were of the meanest descrip
tion.
For a noble philanthropist partly
owning those lactones ana mis

"A faithful sorvant seventeen
years I" said Mr. Wilkinson, in a
lowtouei "and a fow weeks rest

At this moment Millie shrank a
little nearer her guardian. Through
the window from which Mr. Watkins
overlooked the loom-room, she could
see Cyril Ormsby walking briskly
about, his voice harsh and inpora
tive, finding fault here and there,
and keenly soratiniztug every ltom
of the work. Not a face in tbe long
room was brightened by the pres
ence of tbe master. Fingors work
ed more rapidly, eyes were fastened
persistently upou tho looms, and
every one seemed aware of tho slorn
task-master s gaze. Uut Mr Wilk
inson obeyed the mute petition ex
pressed iu the looks of Ins ward,
and led Millie out iuto tho wide
passages agaiu, to another work

Wilkinsons own bold upon tho
hearts of the "bands,' and their
terror of Cyril Ormsby 'a harshnoas.
Out again amongst tho grand
homes, wuoro her guardian had no
control, but bostowed his kindly
charity without ostentation t and
hore more eloquently than evor,
Millie heard how cruol a uovkory
were all tbo sehemos of charity and
philanthropy that bad boon pocred
iuto bor ears. It needed no spokon
words from hor guardian to tell her
that the noble words nttored to win
her were those of hypocrisy, whiob
knew bow it could best plead its
causo with ber.

Wilkinson as to a friend, nnawaro of

kiudly lady beside him, told of cruel
exactions of work in sickness and

Not one word of kindly sympathy

price of an hour or day of idleness.
no matter how necessary.
There waa no word spoken aa Mr.
Wilkinson jand Millie walked to the
otBoe again. Onoo tboro, the old
gentloman spoke very gravely. "As
your guardian, Millie, I oan speak

to vou no word against xuat uyru

social position of irreproachable
moral reputation, and a man whose

"I cam to yod a a friend, as al

And so it happened that Cyril
