fame
t "Tragedy That Followed Automobile 1
niu a iiiuiut
When a young woman permits her
name to becomo a bur-room Jest, she
cannot worthily wear the numo of an
honornblo man,"
Tho hospital nurso was weeping ns
ehd uttered Hioho dramatic words, ana
sho added: "Whoever the man was
whom tho dead woman loved, ho ought
to Imvo foreseen what un Influence his
word? would have upon her life. She
was constantly muttering; thoso words in
her delirium and wien sho was con
valescing, sho told mo her story, but she
insisted that she could not get well, and
honed that she might die repeating,
and she did die repeating the state
ment of the man whoxhad left her, be
caiie, as he told her: , ,
"When a young woman permits tier
name to becomo a bar-room Jest she
cannot worthily wear tho name of an
honorable man." , ,. . ,
'I know her from her babyhood, u said
venerable Sister Teresa, of the Holy
Cross academy, as she adjusted the cross
upon the motionless form of the beauti
ful woman. "Tho bereaved sisters of
Jjirarus sold to the Blessed Savior, If
Thou hndst been hcie, our brother had
not died." But In this case, m In so
.many others, It might well be said: It
her mother had only lived, she also
would have lived.' "
Sister Teresa's benignant ryes were
suffused with tears, as sho added: Her
mother was a pupil of mine, and she
gave me charge of her baby. I did my
best for her. but her father took her
away from me. and for years I knew
not where she was. It was always best
to leave the motherless girls to the
church sisterhood. But men do not Un
derstand, and probably never will under
stand." . , .
"I was shocked when she was brought
to the hospital," said Miss Thorne. the
hospital nurse. "Wo had been friends
in childhood, and I requested permis
sion to take special care of her. and my
desire was granted by the matron. I am
so glad now, because 'Sissy' wanted to
talk with someone, after tho fever wns
over; and she Beemed to be almost nappy
In her relief at finding me by her bed
side. She was not yet thirty years of
age, but vou see, her hair was entirely
gray; her skin Is shriveled as with old
age. and the pinched expression shows
that sho know what suffering was, and
most of it mental anguish, too."
The attendants hero camo In and car
ried away the seemingly old woman,
carelessly as they take away the dally
remains of the various tragedies of real
life, and Miss Thorne said: "Sister
Teresa Is right, Tho loss of her mother
was nn Irreparable loss. Her father was
a business man and is still In business
In this city. Ho was one of thoso thou
sands of business men who nevur have,
any time to look after their wives and
little ones, except to pay their expenses,
and sometimes do that grudgingly. The
dead woman's father and mother were
both Catholics, and she was reared In
thnt faith. Her mother was a neglected
wife, but she was never diverted from
her motherly and wifely duties. She was
patient: pathetically patient. Thus she
lived, and thus she died. This Is what
Sissy' told me only a day before she
died In my arms:
' 'As long as mother lived. I had a
home, and I loved that home, although
there was seldbm a fatherly kindness,
and never a loving caress for me In that
liomt. But mother was good to me. She
was an angel. 1 had regular features,
and the rich, ruddy complexion which
God paints only on the cheeks of the
Irish girls In the peerless laboratory of
old Ireland. I had luxuriant brown hair,
with eyebrows, verv long eyelashes and
dreamy brown eyes to match that hair,

lie often repeated to Miss Thorne:
"What I told 'Sissy' whs true, and It

no right to raise any question concerning

no right to bo brutally cold-blooded In

And after the earth had been closed
over the tragedies of their two lives,
Miss Thorne wild: "After nil. it might
bo well for thnt dramatic expression to

women:

Stewards of a
Women's Pen I
A Record of Fifteen Years of Hrd
Work.
-- - -
Tho Sun printed recently nn nccount of
tho earnings derived from literary work
by a raiin who, whllo not making litera
ture lila life work or means of livelihood,
has followed It for twenty yonrs. Hero
Is a relation of what a woman can do
under similar .circumstances.
Whllo It Ss Impossible to glvo mlnuto
detail as to tho sums tecolvod this woman
has kept careful account of the money
she has mado by writing. During the
fifteen years concerned sho has besides
brought up a family, done most of the
time her own housework and sewing, and
found time for some church work and
some social pleasures.
Sixteen yearn ago this woman, feeling
that she must do something to aid In
bearing the family burden, crocheted ba
bies' bootees at t5 cents a dozen pairs.
Thero was a little baby a year old to be
attended to, and by dint of great perse
verance she was able to earn $1 a week.
In tho meantime she wns writing, at
the request of an editor, llttla news Items
from her home locality for a very small
country newspaper In another town. She
got a free paper, nnd stamps and envel
opes and nothing moro out of It but the
satisfaction of seeing her work In print,
which wns something.
Thero camo about this time to tho
woman's home town n city paper which
was making an effort, by printing a page
of 'suburban news, to get a foothold In
suburban towns. The paper had a corre
spondent In her place, but tho correspond
ent did not sceem to bo doing very good
work, nnd the woman decided to try
to get the work for herself.
Waiting tilt a largo fire In the vicinity
gave her material, she wrote nnd sent out
a little account of It to tho city paper.
Her prldo and delight knew no bounds
when the next evening tho paper printed
the Item, only very slightly blue pen
ciled. This satisfaction wns added to very
materially the next day when the sub
urban editor of tho paper called upon
her. Tho result of the vlRlt was thnt the
woman was told to send In what news sho
could get and the pa)', whllo not munifi
cent, seemed like n fortune after the
sockmaklng experience.
This wns 'he beginning. Unfortunately
the beglnnci did not deem It necessary
to tnke account of the very small sums
which she began to mako with her pen.
Kpr three years she worked, before It
dawned upon her that she ought to get
some kind of an Idea what she was earn
ing. So at the beginning of the year 1WU
she started a system of bookkeeping. The
result show what she was able to do
while nhn wns giving much attention to
her other, housework and the children,
and a little to outside matters.
The year 1804 netted this homeworker
$202.30. All of this was earned In actual
news reporting, Items being sent from n
small village of probably only 1,200 in
habitants. It took the woman several venrs to real-

that time on she had a feeltnsr of lndo
pendency which amounted tor the belief
that If necessary she could. take care of
herself, and of her children.
The year 1880 bfHht an Increase, of
about f80, making wy., The next year.
while it brpught a new baby to the
Home, also brought more money, and
the earnings footed Up the nice sum of
ISflO.85,
The next was a banner year, probably
because a work girl, was, kept who re
lieved the busy mother of Jome of the
home duties. The receipts for this year
were. $1,000.80 and for the next SMKtse
Then ensued a perloff "of 111 health and
depression and generally discouraging
conditions. The worker, for. some rea
son, felt as if the bottom had dropped
out of everything, and as if it dd npt
any longer pay to Jteep up the eternal
struggle. The result seems to have shown
in the quantity it not Jo the quality of
tho work done, for tho receipts that year
footed up only to $459.87.
Having retrograded. Were seemed to
be little hove of climbing hack, to. the
heights of ia7, but by ;and by thing be

to the $1,000 mark, reaching- $951.95.
By tnw time the woman bad awakesed
tq the' possibilities of the work, aad sho
was doing, besides tho regular news
work, a sorts of little bit Jor ly&meR's
departments and some little. magaaJne

of i from $30 to 0 a week, with perhaps
a similar sum for the first week In Sep
tember. Magazine work accepted, and
more ready to send out, will probably
bring In $100 before the end of the year.
The worker Is confident of reaching the
$1,230 mark, provided her health Is spared,
nnd it is quite likely that tills mark will
be passed. Besides the regular news work,
much work Incidental to the summer
season Is being demanded, and the field
seems practically limitless, and the
amount of work to be done only bounded
by physlr.il conditions.
It might seem as It with all this work,
and considerable home work besides, this
woman would not have the time for
pleasures and recreation. It Is, a fact,
however, that she enjoys life far more
than do most lesa busy people. Social
happenings she takes pleasure In; church
work she gives some little attention to;
recreation of other kinds she gets In mod
eration. One luxury which she has Indulged In
durltifr the years of work Is a good cam
nra. It was bought for pleasure In the
first place, but now It figures largely In
tho protlts of her work. For no sooner
did she get to the point where she could
take good pictures than people began to
want them. Sho finds that a good pic
ture will sometimes sell an article which
would otherwise be rejected.
In tho course of the fifteen years,
work has been done for some excellent
magazines and for tho best of the New
York cltv newspapers. The writer finds
little difficulty now In placing hr copy,
and Is nnxlously looking forward to tho
time when the regular Journalistic work
can be dropped nnd all the time available
be devoted to special work
Sho Is anxious to write stories, but her
efforts In this line hnve not been crowned
with success. Early In her career some
magazines published her stories nnd said
merely "Thnnk you " One ox two have
found their way Into fairly good maga
zines nnd some which had been the
rounds have finally been published and
paid for by newspapers. The woman
believes she will be able eventually to
write a good story, one which will not
only bring In money but will also accom
plish some good purpose In the world.

1MKT her; loved her: but I did no
proposo to her. This Is why. Wo
met at l'oughkcepslo, a week before
tho rcxattn, when tho river Is not
too crowded hnd tho Weather Is so
often perfect. It always breaks
when It Is wanted. Sho was staying at
a smart hotel 1 forgot the name and

as a rule my lady friends do not dress
well. I ii m a New Yorker, nnd so aro

thev sharo our tnsto for speculation.
Nothing elso explains their vui legated
appearance.
To return. Sho wns punting when I
first saw her. Nobody knows how pret
ty a. woman can look till you see u pret
ty woman punting, 1 think it is thnt
long lovely line tiom the sliuuldcr to
tho hip; and the green rushes behind
her; and perhntm the dazzle of sun
helps. It certainly brought out her hair.
The French huvo a name Tor It Some
thing "cendre." She wus talking to u
man who wus not listening, but Just
looking and looking us It ho couldn't
look enough. Ho wns n good-looking
fellow regular West Point cut and ob
viously tiemcndously "gone." When I
found out she was slaying nt the same
hotel I was, with her mother, and that
she wore no ring on the third linger of
her left hand, I endeavored to effect nn
Introduction. It was very difficult; the
soldier -guarded her us Jealously "us If
sho hod been nil importnnt outpost, and
thu mother van very select and was
careful not to make casual acquaint
nncs nt hotels. So she said twice nt
dinner the evening nfter I had seen her
daughter punting. The obscivatton was
appumntly called forth by my having
passed the mustard once too often as a
legitimate moans ot malclli her acquaint
ance. She itlso said that She dlsllkrd
New York men, with mi air of sending the
Observation to my address. How sho
found tut I was a New Yorker passes mv
comprehension. 1 don't wear rings, and
my socks and tics. If not somber, urn not
unduly festive. Of course sho may have
noticed mo In the. afternoon, and 1 must
confess that I do i)ot look my best In
flannels. I am not nxuctlv fat. but 1 nut
on weight euslly. The few time-honored
observations I hazarded regarding tho
weather weie received with frigid acqui
escence. Thi; soldier simply looked nt mo
as If I wns not there, tho most obtrusive
way of recognizing a man's oxlstence I
know. The only person who showed the
slightest sign of recognizing my preiencn
wns my divinity, who hnd changed her
whlto serge for transparent bUok, and
managed to loco nothing by the ex
change, which Is saying a good deat. She
mulled at me once, nnd asked me to pass
her the menu; It wus something. I fol
lowed It up in tho hall by picking up her
handkerchief, and was rewarded by an
other smile, and a' supplementary glaro
from tho soldier. After thnt things
moved fairly quickly, and I discovered
that my divinity, whose name was Rosa
mund, far from belonging to the black
velvet, whlle-innrblo type, was quite ap
proachable. At broakfast she started a
conversation which she engineered ho
successfully that the soldier had to Join
In without leaving me out. lie looked
very tired ut the end; but he realized tho
obligation. Mrs. Ureye was less amena
ble: she consistently rogsrded mo as If I
was wart of the furnlturEwhlch.l found
discouraging. But, later. I discovered
that she was by way ot belnjr something
of an Invalid, and thnt, nssumlng a sym
pathetic attitude whllo she related symp
toms, gained me favor.
A week from the date I met Miss Grcye
I was sitting In the punt, Just ns I had
seen the soldier sitting, nnd she wus
punting, and I was looking. She insisted
on punting. Sho snld she wunted exor
cise. Pretty worsen so often do when
they get a chance of Duntlnc. Then 1
:m4ttettftli.lirL.ttiatt loved her. but was

at me. Never have I known a more Im
partial distribution of favors.
She maintained the same attitude for
another four nnd twenty hours, and then
relaxed considerably In my favor.
It was such an evening as the poets
write about.
The river went lap-lap among tho
rushes, and the sky was all pink and
rosy. If I had ordered the evening I
could not have had one provided more to
my mind. Rosamund wore white all sort
and fluffynnd was In a pensive mood.
fche sat at the end of the lawn In a cane
chair, with a pyramid of becoming
cushions arranged behind her adorablo
head, Sho had curly hair, quite gultless
of what the Ladles' Home Journal calls
transformations, and it showed up ll
agninst the cushions. Sho was reading
"Hand and Hand," by Mother and
Daughter, and promptly quoted "The
Woman's Share."
Women love a lifetime; that's not th5
way with men,
TIs I'll be old and ugly, an' will he lovo
men then?
It wns n glorious opening, and I seized
It. "Try mo," I said.
"Oh"' she answered and there was a
distinct fall In tho temperature of her
manner. "Then you think I shall be
ugly In the days to come."
"You!" 1 exclaimed. "Never nor
grow old."
"Thanks." she retorted. "I feel very
well ut tho present moment."
Then she got up and strolled down to
the river. 1 followed her.
"Miss Greye . . . Rosumound . . ."
I began, and Uion,- at that moment, with
the usual ugly ratallty of things, the
BOldler appeared.
He glared at me; I glared at him,
and Rosamund smiled at us both. That
night, after dinner, the soldier approach
mo and expressed the Idea uppermost In
both our minds.
"The position," he btgan, "Is some-
I what awkward. We are both In lovo
with tho same lady."
I was -lectrlfied by his condescension.
Only yesteitlay lw had answered my
good mornltiK with an Iratu grunt.
"The position lmi Its dltllcultles." I
managed to saj.
Then ho proceeded to explain. "You
cannot propose in her because of mo;
1 cannot propose to her because you are
ulw-ios In the way. Wo aio bound to
Interfere with cnth other, I,ct us nr
range matters."
Then ho offered me n cigarette. His
programme had ut last tho minor merit
or simplicity. Wo nro to toss up ns to
who should hnve first Innings. The ono
who lost wus to lcuvu tho field clear fur
his adversary. If the first man was ac
cepted, the second wnn to retire. If tho
first man was rejected, ho was to retire.
When 1 got my breutli back I assented.
AVo then tossed up, nnd 1 won.
"Well. 1 can't wish you luck,-' hn said,
pocketing tho half dollar with which he
lind solved the question, "but nothing
could be fairer," and off no walked.
Now thnt 1 was committed I wns con
scious of u distinct feeling of nervous
ness. How wns 1 to put If What was I
to say? 1 huvo always held that it great
deal depended on tho way In which you
approached u woman. At last 1 resolved
to trust to the Inspiration ot the moment
and walked back to the grounds of the
hotel, us Rosamund often camo out nfter
dinner. Am 1 npproachrd tho hnus I
detected the glimmer of ti whlto dros In
her favorite seat -and to my consterna
tion a man seated beside her In what t
can only descrlbo lis u loverllko attitude.
My first thought was that ha Illustrated
tho soldier's pel fldy: but as I drew near
er t saw that he was n stranger. And
before I could turn away tho situation
.was further emphasized by a kiss (I am
thankful to say that 1 was unobterved).
1 hurried. away, nnd ns I turned 1 can
noned inlo the soldier. My appearance
obviously suggested defeat -and dlsaslwr,
for his face lit up with delight,
"Got tho knock!" ho Inquired with alac
rity. It wus n mean thing to do, but the
temptation wns Irresistible.
"Yes," 1 answered and nothing moro.

12. A. rodwell of Park Row, who
knows n good deal about real estate, has
u theory of his own as to where New
York's grcutest splendor in future is to
"There are some curious facts about
tho city's growth nnd the moving of cer
tain centers," sold he. "To begin with,
tho East side, from tho earliest days
ot the city's history down to the time
in which w live, has always grown fast
est; has always led tho van In tho move
ment of the city northward.
"The West side has even come trail
ing nlong after. That haa Held good In
Manhattan and Is holding good In the
Bronx.
"I bcllevo that twenty-five years from
now the people of all nations will come
to see New Voik as tho one superb city
of tho world. New York is only Just
now beglnnlng-La.takA.on tho form which
it will have when it becomes the world'e
greatest an well as tho most beautiful
city.
"The Bronx region, I bcllevo, will not
many years hence be built up In a way
that will nil below the Harlem river
look cheap and of the second class. The
wealthy have always followed along park
lines and along high elevations for their
homes, and these lines In Manhattan will
soon be filled up.

What Shaii
We Wear Now
A Chtt About the Eatly Autumn
Stylei.
GOLOIl Is to bo the kcy-noto ot tho
coming season. This surely re
joices every woman's heart to
hear, for It means, nbovo every
thing, thnt she can be both be
comingly nnd stylishly dressed.
The now colors are unusually beautiful
and or great variety. Light, medium and
dark shades will till be in vogue, with tho
preference, however, decidedly In favor"
ot tho former. Dark shades will be In
demand only for the most practical use.
iryr evening wenr, dcllcato apricot and
peach, tinted while and silver grny will
bo tho favorites. Gray will also bo very
popular for street wear In n darker or
''smoke" shade, socalled, A lively note
ot red In Burgundy, rosewood nnd rasp
berry shades will bo promlnont among
tho fashionable colorn and probably n.
close rival Mi popularity among ttvb
fashionable colors and probably u close
rival In populnitty of the various plum
slindes, nmong them, tho exquisite
amethyst. In the dnrker shades, olive
green will tako the lead this year over
browns. An extremely dark bluo will be
much worn.
Tho fabrics In which those fascinating
colors nra to bo found, urn for tho dres
sier costumes, broadcloths, satin cloth
Henrietta, ind drap d ote. Velvet also
will be greatly In demand, both for
wliolo costumes nnd for trimmings. Satin
cloth U not what Its name Implies, but
a cloth with a beautiful finish and pro
curahlo In nil the most delicate shades.,
Tailored suits will be faantonod from
worsteds, mohulrs. nnd shadow plaid
effects. Mohair will not be cnoflned ,to
street costumes oxcluuiyely, hut In white"
and pastel shades will be Very much
worn for afternoon nnd evening- gowns.
And are styles much cHange.lt That's
a difficult question to answer. Even the
wisest prophets of fashion disagree on the
main features of what will predominate.
In suits, for Instance, one authority as
sures his anxious customers that long
coats ore absolutely correat cut another,
equally prominent, predicts short coats
exclusively. The leaning, however, scams
to be slightly toward tho long coat. But,
for the Individual woman, Ihe wearing
ot a long or short coat la a. matter of
personal taste or becomlrigncss, and this
season she may take her choice without
fear of greatly violating the dictates of
fashion. The blouse coat, however, is
universally tabooed. Vests will be much
In vogue with the long coats.
Skirts ot houso gowns or of costumes
will bo ot the all-round length, not quite
touching the floor In front and in the
back resting on tho floor two or, three
Inches, Walking skirts are also circular
and full and Invariably bound with Vel
vet nnd velveteen. The fullness Is gen
erally mounted in gathers, graduated
toward tho bock. Ono very popular
model, In an Instep length skirt, Is gored
so thnt at trio top of the skirt the i;orvs
are so narrow that they glvo the effect
or a yoke, but at the bottom are Un
usually wide and give a mol successful
circular sweep that will not sag.
The three-piece costumes will bode
oldedly In the lead In the autumn eyrVes.
Skirt, coat and waist will be all of the
same shade, the waist, however, of dif
ferent material. But this doesn't mean
the downfall of tho separate waist ot dif
ferent color. In fact, separate waists
are to be supremely fashionable. Lace,
Ilk, mohair, embroidered white goods,
and even the lingerie stuffs warn in tho
summer, will constitute their makeup.
The leading fall models, almcst without
exception, snow yoke effects In the sep
arate waists. The yokes are made of
soft shirred and tucked materials, sheer
White goods, lace and batiste. This will
be a very acceptable style to most wom
en, because It gives a soft expression to
the face. Yet, at the same time, the
more delicate and fair a woman's com
plexion, the more becoming are theso
dainty neck-wear effects.

HOW TO PUT AWAY
SUMMER CLOTHES
By Martha Cobb Stanford.
-- " -
Til ICY havo to bo put away all the
dainty fragile creations ot the sea
sons, sad though the fact may be.
But nnothor summer Is coming,
nnd with this happy forethought
In mind the prudent tfousewife
brings her common sense to bear upon
tho situation and proceeds to pack away
her hot weather wardrobe In a manner"
worthy ot Imitation.
All her own washable frocks and thoso
of tho children are gathered together and
carried to tho laundry. Thero the white
ones and tho colored ones are put In
separate tubs, ot course, and the colored
dresses washed In tepid water and borax
instead of with soap to prevent them
from fading.
The dresses nra not Ironed, but put
away rough dry It Is a nil.stake.to. leave
either dirt or starch In clothes that are
not to be worn for a long time. The
presenca of either Is very likely to rot
tho material.
If It's a foregone conclusion that the
children will outgrow their clothes be
fore another venson, It's a good plan to
"let out" any tucks, or even the hems la
their skirts ot tho dresses before wash
ing them.
It's a puzxte to most women to know
Just how to put nway the fashionable
plaited skirt In silk, chaltle. or other soft
material, so that the plaits will -stay In
place and bo presentable a second season
without tho arduous task of pressing
them with hot Irons. If each plait ia
pinned with n small common plti at the
bottom ot the skirt tho skirt will look
aa fresh as new when It comes time to
let tt see tho light of day next summer.
By the way, remember that challlea are
woolen textures and need to be protested
against moths. Scatter borax on the
floor of the clonet where the dresses are
hung, or better still. It you Inclose the
dresses In a cotton bag, shake borax
gentroualy into the bag, It cannot hurt
tho gowns and Is a sure preventative
against moths.
, Hang all ruffled petticoats upsldo down
by sewing hangers to the hem. Thle
revolutionary process will keep the ruf
fles standing out straight and fluffy.
Stuff out tho waist of non-washable
f;ewns with tissue paper; uso plonty of it
n the sleeves and In the waist Itself. Thle
will keep the waist In shape and prevent
It from being crushed It laid in a trunk
or drawer.
Itlbbons and laces aro another problem.
Brush each piece of ribbon, wide or nar
row, and then, keep It from creasing, roll
it around a. piece of pencil or cylinder of
paper the latter Is easily mado by roll
ing up an Old magaslnn.
Dcllcato laces should be laundered in
tepid water, to which melted soap and a
small quantity of borax havo been Added,
ninso with water of the ttmo tempera
ture. While damp, place them flat on the
sides of a porcelain bath tub or stretch
and pin them to the Ironing board- Long
longths of lace may be rolled ribbon fash
ion. It is better to baste collars and
stock to a piece of lightweight card
board and lay them flat In the troy of a
trunk.
fimbrolderod seta ot turn-overs and
cuffs, chemisettes, and all the little ac
cessories that require a -bit of starch to
make them took dressy, should be put
away, like washable dresses, rough dry.
White silk gloves can be washed In the
same way 'as laces, only they should ba
drawn on to tho hands and, gone over
carefully with u clean nail brush dipped
in the warm suds, This wltl.rembve: the
dust in the seams and at the finger tie.
IUnse whllo on the hands, remove ,and
dry quickly. Put away in fold of tissue
paper,
Tissue paper is really tin. Indispensable
factor in butting away summer clothes.
An excellent hublt Is tot save all the
pieces that happen to come into the
house at any season of the year. Noth
ing could be a bettor substitute for a
shor-treo, for Instance. Stuff the paper
tightly Into patent leather and white
6anvai shoes. It will pre servo their shape.
And of course tissue paper finds Its nat
ural place in a hat box. If poeslble. put
each summer chapeau, after it has been
well shaken or brushed, into a soparato
box and sew tho brim or cjown with Ion
stitches to the bottom of the box. Then,
If by any chance the handbox loses its
equilibrium during its long winter se
clusion and turns upside down, the het
will not be, Injured.
An excellent plan U to clean a white
straw hat theitohly before putting it
awuy. Go over it with damp corn meal,
tubbing tt In well, Next apply dry meal
and work thoroughly Into the straw:
lenvn it for some hourBi Brush out the
meal and wash freely, with peroxide ot
hydrogen. Iet It dry In the shade.

children began dying. ,, ,M . ,
"There Is no help For It,", said the priest
to the mlislon-Rchool tiacher. "There la
a strain of the Mobr or Arab In them,
and under the forms of their Christian
faith they are fatalists. You cannot
change their, stolid submission to what
i-omes upon them nor brouk up their
Immemorial customs." ,, ,
But to the teacher tt seemed a terrible
thlmr that the disease was spreading un
checked, and thut every facility wm
given it for transmission to all the
homes In the vitiligo-
"Do not let people come to visit your
child." sho pleaded with tho mother of
a hIcIc e!i1
"it Is u duty to visit the sick',' replied
tho mother. . . ,. A.
"But the children who come will them
selves bo sick," said tho.ttticher.
"It may b so." said the mother, 'Ut
so. It ,is of God."
Tho disease went on until almost every
home was In mourning, like Egypt after
the death of the first-born.
At lust one family accepted the teach
er's advice, and against protest she es
tablished a quarantine, She had sent to
Albuquerque and obtained some antitox
in, nnd she admlnstercd this to fifteen
children ...
Meantime there nros it fearful mutter
ing of discontent. Kroni all generation
tho people had gone to visit their frjende
who were sick, taking their children
with them. Who was this young wofjt;
an from that mythical region, "the
states." who usurped authority oyer
them? Was it not ot God when thex
wore sick? And who dared withstand.
Him by denying to tho sick the comfort
of the visits of their friends?
There was danger of rlqt. but the priest
Intervened. "This young woman, though
n Protestant." snld he. "has come U
the love of God. It Is of God that she
has romr, nnd If her teachings be not
all or them those of the true faith, yet
Is her life a Christian life, aad her
words are good for you to hear when you
are ilck. She has borne great risk in
oaring for your children. Woola yeii
o her harm? Kven now she Is sick with,
slekness contracted In carlnc for yeur
little ones." ...... ..
Sick Indeed she wus, and all the medi
cine us gene. Iti seemed that she Jfust
die, and some of the people said. "It is
of God. She refused to let us visit tho
sick, and God Is ungry with her.'
But the llttlo schoolmistress recovered,
nnd by the time she grew well thexa
were facts which forced themselves Into
recognition. The families that had
obeyed tho teacher, and had not visited
or permitted their children to visit thoso
who were sick of the dread, had suffered
least While more than half of the chil
dren who had taken tho disease had died,
fourteen of the fifteen whom sUe had
treated had recovered. As her Illness
progiessed, tho people stood in Increas
ing numbers before her door, and sent
their messages of uffectlon. and the
news that ono and another of their chil
dren were recovering.
It was this thnt seemed to turn the
tide in the case of the teacher Sick she
was, and near to death, but at least her
health returned. The town had lost one
third of all Us children, but it had
learned a lesson which would prevent
another slaughter of the Innocents.
"It was of God. and we must not com
plain," said the mothers, when again the
teacher visited thelr homes. And one ot
them addedd:
"Yes. and the teacher, alio, la of Ood.'
