This woman, sole mistress of the Lytton estate, and the last of her name and race—stood in her rich though faded parlor, and looked out upon a colorless February day.

She was a graceful, handsome wonijn, with a face which would have been beautiful had it not grown cold and mlrthlncs iu the years she had lived alone in that silent house. She was twenty-seven years old and uumarried.

She was expecting a visit from the superintendent of the Treadwell Mills. She owned tho buildings, and had sent for this man to come and confer with her. She observed, with haughty displeasure, that he did not come uutilloug after tho hour appointed.

Tho Lytton* lud been an extravagant raw, and the last generation or two had found it difficult to sustain the family pride upon a ruined estate. Miss Lyttou'a father had lieen compiled to go into trade, and ho bought the Treadwell Mills, hoping in time to cancel some of the debts left him by some of his improvident forefathers. When ha diet! he left his mills heavily incumbered, but (hey were doing sufficient work to be mailo profitable in a few years, if judiciously managed. Miss Lytton had advertised for a superintendent, and had chosen Gerard Lincoln from a score of applicants. why she had done so it would be difficult to divine, since she appeared to dislUe him. She had known him in childhood, and had played at marble with hi in as ardently as though she were not a patrician. W*hen they were bov ami girl their intimacy bad continued. H« had helped her wl her Latin lessons and assisted with her sums. He was doing them now, though in a different capacity. Nothing was ever spoken concerning those old days of his prosperity, wheu he bad been able to meet her upon an equal social footing, and she now treated him a shade more imperiously than any other of her employ**.

It would h"*ve been difficult to imagine Gerard Lincoln sub*ervlout to any one He was a man of thlrty-flve yeare, with a bearing as proud, though not as arrogaut, as her own. He was a strong man, physically as well ns mentally, and had a physique which a mill-baud Invariably respected. His face bore evidence of his decision of character, and was a forceful face. He was a shrewd judge of human natuie, »od knew the men in his charge thoroughly. He was a just man, and one who exacted obedience.

Had Miss Lytton been like other people she would have felt graciously toward this superintendent her interests had prospered under his wise management. lie was a gentleman he was a man of liberal culture and inherited refinement nevertheless, she told herself a doren times a day that he was insufferable. She was certain her estimate of him was correct when he entered her parlor three hours after she had sent for him.

She did not offer him chair when be entered her parlor she remained standing while he briefly told her that he had Iwen detained at the milU by a cotnuvuee from the striker*.

Th«n he strolled ov?r to the fireplace and quietly warmed his hands, while *he waited* for him to resume his account. Me knew she was impatient for (information, but be would give ber none unlet* she asked for it, "I am waiting to hear of thl# committee," she maid, controlling her temper by

To warm your heart and cheer your home, And keep the sunshine ever near it. But I am only a simple child.

Ho my mother says in her daily chiding, And what in nst a guardian angi-1 do, When she first begins her work of guiding?'

"Well, first, dear Bessie,asraillngface Is dearer far than rarest beauty, And ray mother, fretful, lame and old,

Will require a daughter's loving duty You will see to her flannel*, drops and tea, And talk with her of lungs and liver Give her your cheerful service, dear, 'The Lord He loveth a cheerful giver.*

That home's alter-flres may still burn brightly.

"You will read me at even the dslly news, The tedious Winter nights beguiling And never forget that the sweetest face

Is a cheerful face that is always smiling. In short, you'll arrange in a general way For a short sublunar heaven: For nomo, dear Bessie, say what you may.

Is the bights spnere to a woman given."

The lark sang out to the bending sky, The bobolink piped in the nodding rushes, And out of the tossing clover blooms

Came of I he sweet, clear song of the meadow thrushes. And Bessie, listening, paused awhile,

Then said with a sly glance at her neighbor, "But John—do you mean—that is to say,

What shall I get for all this labor?"

"To be nurse companion and servant girl. To make home's alter tires burn brightly To wash and iron and scrub and cook,

And always be cheerful and neat and sprightly To give up liberty home and friends

Nay, even the name of mother's giving To do all this for one's board and clothes Why, the life of an angel iBn't worth living!" And Resale gayly went her way

Down through the fields of scented clover, But never again since that Summer day Has she wan a glance from her rustic lover The lark sings on to the bendlngsky,

The clouds sail on as white as ever The clover tot8 in the Summer wind, But Bessie has lost that chance forever.

A Proud Woman.

There was something very oppressive In the silence prevading Lytton Hall. In any other house in the country such death-like stillness would have been portentous, but here it was no uncommon thing. For years there bad been no children's voices, no dancing feet, no cheer nor hospitality in the gray old mansion. Lytton Hall was a dead letter to the outside world, and its haughty ewner was almost a strauger to her own towns people.

tion or appearing aware of her offended dignity "The mill hands struck at noon today the machinery is stopped. The men demand an increase of 10 per cent, in their wages, and refuse to resume work before it is granted. These are the bare facts, in as few words as I can reduce tbem."

She begin pacing the long room, drawing alight shawl about her, as if becoming suddenly cold.. "This business is more serious than I first supposed," she said at length. "Tell me the particulars."

They were facing each other now, and he watched the effect of bis words. "I understand that you have been severely criticised by a trades union. Its members are enemies of the aristocracy, and call such people as you and your ancestors tyrants. If you refuse to grant the workmen's demand, they propose tearing out the machinery of your mills, or buring them to the ground."

She gave a contemptuous little shrug. ••If tney burn the mills they will kill their goose of the golden egg," she aaid. "By destroying my property they will lose their only means of support." "There was once a dog in a manger," he said dryly. "These people have some of that animal's selfishness they do not wish to keep their positions at your terms, but they are unwilling to see others in their places." "What would you advise me to do?" she inquired.

It was the first time she had ever directly asked his advice. "If you were a man," he said, "I would tell you to resist the strikers to death. If you grant what they ask, you will barely earn your daily expenses, and can do nothing towards paying your mortgages. You have paid just wages, and as much as you can afford. There are hundreds of honest men who would be thankful for the work »t your terms." "Then we must employ new men." "But you area woman,'' he continued, "and your courso must therefore be different. It would be hazardous for you to contend against four hundred desperate, angry men it would be better to compromise, or even bear tbeentireloss, than to live here in danger of having your property destroyed, and possibly with your life imperiled."

She allowed the shawl toslipfrom her shoulders to the floor, where it lay unheeded at her feet. Her face, in its

for

iroud calm, would have been a study a sculptor. "It is my wish that the business should be carried on exactly as though my father were living," she said. "I will not condescend to compromise with these outlaws I am not afraid, and they may burn the mills—yes, and this house also—before I will yield an inch. Employ new men at onse. Their presence in the mill will be my only answer to the strikers." "Your method is courageous," he said "but impolitic."

She interrupted him by a gesture. "I have decided," she told him. "No argument can alter my determination."

He drew on bis gloves preparatory to leaving. "Since your decision is final I will carry it out to the best of my ability,'' he said. "I can engage almost enough new men in a day or two, and some of the old hands will return when they find the strike is likely to be unsuccessful. After this affair is settled I am going to tender my resignation, fox 1 think of changing my occupation.•'

She glanced at him inquiringly. "Are you going out upou a strike, like the others?"

She asked the question a little insolently she was aware that he was looking at her with his shrewd critical eyes, and she would uot for the worlfl have dad him suspect that she regretted his going. "Yes," he said, with quiet earnestness, "I am going like the others." Before I go I will make a demand which will far exceed theirs."

Her proud face flushed, but she anaiVAVAH fHtoIIv "Then I will be obliged to treat you as I will the others."

There was much suppressed excitement throughout the town next day. It was learned that Mis9 Lyttou would make no terms with the strikers. tieraud Lincoln had advertised for new workmen and bad received hundreds of applicants.

Many or the old bauds were engaged .n a drunken carousal which had rendered them insensible to reason. A few men had expressed their wish to be reinstated, and had been assigned to their old places.

During the dsy the superintendent sent a note to Miss Lytton, urging her to leave town till after the excitement had abated. "The men are crazy with drink, he wroto, "aud in their present condition are capable of doing you personal injury. I have watchmen guarding the Hall, but nothing can prevent an evilminded person from throwing a stone through your window."

Her answer was as follows "I

approve

of the precautions you have

taken, buttfo not think it necessary to leave town. I am not in the least alarmed, and will remain at the Hall."

He tossed her lettei Into the fire. "You are too proud to show the white feather," he said, as if addressing her. "After all, there is little chance of the strikers going to the Hall. It is the factory that they are after. If I believed you were lu actual danger, my dear Lady Disdain, I would use coercion aud force you out of town

He bad engaged 300 new men. and had organised them as a guard. Every man was bound to protect his own loom. This he was more willing to do since by so doing he secured hia own bread and butter.

At nightfall on Monday, Mr. Lincoln received information that the mills would be attacked at 10 o'clock that nlgbt. Hie new employes were secretely given notice to be on the grounds at the time appointed, and a few policemen of the town were informed of the expected trouble.

Early in the evening Mr. Lincoln paid a visit to the Hall, and found the building abut up as clcwe as a tomb. The servants who knew something of the night's prospects, took the precaution to bar every window aud door as though fortifying themselves against an army.

During the afternoon Miss Lytton bad experienced a revolution of feeling. She was not a nervous fomsn and was accustomed to abide by her decision* but she began to fear that this time she had made a mistake. Previously she bad only considered the danger with which she was threatened, but she suddenly remembered that her superintendent o«lt) share the risk. He waa the limb between herself and her workmen, and they naturally looked upon blm as their employer. They knew blm, while many of them had never sera ber. They realised that be had the power to employ or discharge them. Be bad in­

creased and decreased their wages at his will. They would probably wreak their vengence upon him more viciously than upon a woman with whom they never had personal dealings.

When he saw her that night she was less authortalive at first than usual, although her manner was cold. He told ber of his arrangement for protecting the mills. Sbe learned that the new men were armed with rifles, and that the strikers had been joined by a mob of tramps and outlaws who had never done an honest dav's work in their lives, but who were infatuated with the prospect of a night of plunder and riot.

During this recital Miss Lytton bad been nervously clasping and unclasping her hands. "I have changed my mind," she said at length, her voice a trifle quicker than usual. "I wish to retract. When I said I would not compromise, I did not forsee bow serious this difficulty might become. I wish now to give up the struggle. I cau afford to sacrifice my business interests better than risk tbe shedding of one drop of human blood."

Her woman's heart was beginning to assert itself. "Your decision is merciful," her superintendent said "bat it conies too late. You cannot now give these u»en what tbey ask without being unjust to tbe 300 new hands to whom you have promised work, and who had come to you, promising to stand by you in your emergency. You have no work for 700 people, and it would be gross injustice to send adrift the unoffending working to conciliate a crowd of ruffians."

?|y

Her nervousness increased. », "What can be done?" "I do not know that a riot can be averted now," he told her but I will do what a can to quiet the slrikers. I have been used to control them.lmd may succeed." "Do you mean that you intend to address this mob?'

Tbey had both been seated before the open fire-place, but she rose now and stood facing him. "Yes," be said, "I will try to induce tbem to give me a hearing."

Her color faded slowly from her face. "I do not wish you to speak to tbe strikers," sbe said, sharply. "You have not my authority for addressing them

He made no answer, but a little ironical smile touched his lips aud exasperated her into further speech. "You have planned to resist them. You have said they are crazy with liquor and that they aie joined by professional law-breakers. There can be no wisdom in speaking to tbem. They are unworthy of remonstrance. You have done what you can to protect tbe mills if they must burn let tbem go without any humiliating appeals to their destrovers." "The strikers are men," he said, "ignorant and ill-guided, but not devoid of reason or conscience. They know me as a workman, not as a capitalist. They believe that I have no personal Interest at stake, and may, therefore, listen to me." "But," she said, her voice now broken by intense feeling, "I forbid you to speak to them."

The sarcastic smile returned. "Then I must be disobedient." "It is time you understood fyour position," she continued passionately— she was utteilv berelt or ber usual calm "I owu the mills, and have the right to do as I choose by my owu woikmen. You acknowledge that you area workman like any of tbe others, and, like the others, you must obey my commands." "1 am so like tbe others that I am going to disobey you," he said quietly "you see the strike is general."

He, too, had risen and was looking down into her face with an expression on his owu which nearly robbed her of her self-possession. {^r/

She changed her tact. "Why you should work in opposition to my will is a mystery. You have had a specially independent position. You have literally been master of the mills ever since vou entered them, You have ignored me and my authrfty. I am surprised to think that you should wish to leave a place where you have matters so entirely in your own control."

He did not alter his position, but his face plainly showed his strong emotion. "I am ambitious," he said. "I am satisfied with being master of the mills. I would be your master and have you tor my wife!"

She turned away with such anger that be believed he had lost ber. "This is an insult!" she said. "No," he told her, his voice deep with feeling "it Is the greatest honor I can bestow. I offer to make you my wife and give you my life's devotion. You call this an insult because you are Miss Lytton, of Lytton Hall, and I am your superintendent! An accident of birth has given you a pedigree and has made you appear cold ana intolerant, yet I know it is in your nature to be a* courageous, as womanly and as perfect a wife as ever a man was blessed with." "I cannot prevent you fron? saying what you like," she said with suppressed excitement. "A woman living alone has no protection from persons who force their opinions upon her." "She has lier own weakness for her defense," he answered more gently. "Since my presence and sentiments are unwelcome, I will leaveyou. 1 will not again offend you believe me, I would not have spoken if I had not loved you." •'He left hor, and sbe sank down upon a lounge. She was so silent that a servant who entered did uot observe, and turned down the lights, believing the room to be unoccupied. light glanced about, brightened tbe faded furniture, and finally shone

•oft and warm upon Helene Lv face. She was lying still, deep in thought her dark eyes fixed upon the fire, her lips and cheeks crimson as wine.

Sbe was startled out of her reverie by a shot from a distant rifle. She sprang up and listened.

It was followed by a dozen more reports, which rang out sharply upon tbe cold night air. They came from the direction of the Treadwell Mills. What terrible tragedy was being there enacted?

Her heart beat tomultuously, and her face was drained of its warm color. Her suspense was painfal.

When would she know the result of her flrnt decision concerning the strikers? He was there amid all tbe noise and danger sbe was sure that nothing sbe had said would deter him from trying to save the mills.

Wc

IVould be come back and tell ber tbe result of his efforts? 'Might be not be injured, dying—dead, even—and so unable to come to her? Sbe caught up a cloak, wrapped It closely about her, aud drew its hood over ber bead.

Sbe was going out into the darkness and danger alone, to know what was being done on that frightful riotous nlgbt.

Everything waa in readiness when tbe strikers reached tbe Treadwell Mills that night. The police had vainly tried to disband tbem. The rioters were strong in number, and tbe police force in that little town was small.

Behind the barred doors of the main building 300 hilent man waited with rifles in their bands. Only one window

was lighted. It was in the superintendent's room. As tbe crowd approached he stepped

He followed up the little advantage be had gained. "Four hundred of you have come up here to-night," he «aid, "armed with clubs and rifles with which you mean to injure one helpless woman. God help you, workmen, for having fallen so low as this!"

was obeyed. The rioters returned fire with balls, but indiscriminately they were surprised at the defence in the mill, having supposed it to be deserted.

A rumor spread like fire that the building was full of soldiers. Some of the outsind men ran away, others engaged in persoual skirmishes, aod tLe new men firod another volley of blank cartridges, adding hideous confusiou to the scene.

At the end of fifteen minutes tbe mob was disbanded, a few ringleaders bad beeu arrested and a lew beads bad been broken, but tbe Treadwell Mills were uninjured.

Everyihing about tbem seemed silent and forsaken when Miss Lyttou stepped over tbe debris left by the rioters and a«ked the watchmauif Mr. Lincoln was within.

The man answered that be was. "May I see hiui The watchman hesitated. "If you please," be said, "tbe superintendent has been hurt. Somebody put a bullet into him and the doctor is probing for tbe ball. I don't think you can see him."

She ran past the watchman, up the dark stairs, and stood outside tbe office door. The doctor came out and found her there. Her cloak had fallen off, and she stood white and trembling. She was very unlike the haughty mistress of Lytton Hall.

The physician was going out to order a carriage for bis patient. In ans^wer to her questions he said that Mr. Lincoln had beeu shot in the arm. His wound was not necessarily dangerous, although it was very painful. J.

Her color began to return. "Do you think he would be able—that he would like to see me?"

The doctor was too gallant to think his patient could be lees than delighted. She knocked at tbe door, her heart, beating so loudly that she scarcely heard the voice which bade her enter.

He was seated facing tbe door and was at once startled and astonished by her appearance. He wondered if «ny dire calamity had occurred at the hall.

She motioned him not to rise, while she stood just within the room and spoke in a voice shaken by emotion: "I could not rent when I beard the firing to.night. I came here through the fields, trying to escape tbe rioters. 1 saw tbe men driven from the mills. I came to hear about you."

He listened iu almost breathless silence. "1 know you have been b»ave to-night. I beard on my way what you had done. I do not know how you could do it for me. Affer to-night you will never respect me," she continued, approaching him a little "but I must tell you that I asked you—that I commanded you not to speak to the men to-n!ght because I feared the danger to yourself. I was not prompted by capricfousness, but by honest fear for your safety. 1 called you my subordinate when 1 knew you were fitted to fill the highest vocation. I said you offered me a gross insult, when in'my heart I knew you bad paid me the greatest compliment in my life. My wretched pride has led to all this trouble to-night. I feel as if it were I who had put that bullet into your arm."

He had been silent all this time, but he had read her face and her woman's heart. He "took ber into his arms he kissed her lips until the warm red blood rushed into her handsome face once more.

The man who wouldn't kiss a woman when sbe tells him with her eyes that her lips are yearning is an idiot. 1 don't mean by this that kissing is at ail necessary, or even proper, but it is certainly a part and parcel of the art of love-making. 1 believe in the rough old verse that dear little Lotta used to sing about kissing: Nobody is above it The old maids love it,

"Let me say just one more word about love-making. This is for girls. A noted French author, in one of his books, declares that jealous men are always fickle. It is just the other way. Jealous men are never fickle. Jealousy is the surest evidence of true love. When a woman can arouse the demon in a man's bosom, sbe always feels sure of him. He loves hir and will go on his knees when she bids him."
