Under-Standing this, Mrs. Hayes answered lightly: “If that’s the case, I hope you’ll en? tertain my friend for me until I return. She’s interested in the work at the mission." “You’re on,” Li tle Ella replied with an air of resignation as Mrs. Hayes left the room. She rolied over on her side and closed her eyes. Already she began to feel bored. Although Gloria had professed that she had no fear about being left with the sick woman, when‘she said it she had in mind only a fear of being alone in such a dismal lodging house and fear that she might be called upon to act as doctor and trained nurse both were her patient to take a turn for the worse. Now. however, a new thought came to her. How was she to act? What was she to do to amuse her? ,She felt instinctively the antipathy she had aroused. She cowered like a lamb before this young she’wolf of the city. She was alone, defenseless. with this creature that had so far reverted to type that she might rend and tear. Even in a battle of wits, and that was all there would be if the girl did not ignore her entirely. Gloria felt her- self no match for this brazen child of misfortune. Her comparisons were physical, but it was not a physical fear she felt. Sheltered inexperience was pitted against the most cruel ex- perience society could ever devise or tolerate. “Who’d want to hear from me?” the woman replied sullenly. “I ain’t the f belle o' the village any more.” i “Haven’t you a. mother?” i “She’s dead." 1 “A father, then? Isn‘t there some "one watching for you, hoping to see ' you come down the quiet little street?” ’ Here was an attempt to awaken a ’sentiment for the past which met twith no success. Little Ella replied '5 roughly: i I s I Gloria was mistaken in thinking that Little Ella slept. After Mrs. Hayes had left her she walked quietly back to a chair by the bedside. On it lay a cheap novel with which the sick wom- an had been beguiling ,the time. She picked it up and was turning the pages casually when a feeling stole over her that she was being observed. Putting aside the book, she found Lit- tle Ella gazing at her stonily. “Say, what’d you come here for?” “Why.” she answered in surprise, “I wanted to help you.” A sneer curled the sick woman’s lip, a cynical sneer of disbelief. what brought you? “Help me! To what? I ain’t ever saw you down here before. Come on, “I came with Mrs. Hayes,” was all that Gloria could find to answer. “The woman what just went out?” “Yes.” Feeling that she must do something to end this catechism, Gloria hap- pened to glance at the book she held in her hand, and this led her to ask: “Wouldn’t you like me to read to you ‘2” " “Naw. I can read fer myself.” know you are sick? “They’re watching at his house all rightâ€"all rightâ€"him and that pasty- face wife of hisâ€"so they can run out and unchain the dog.

You can’t come down here and teach me anything. Pooh! I don’t be- lieve you know what real love 18. Were _ you ever in love?” “What could you have done to have your family treat you so?” Gloria asked. “What could you do to be estranged from your father, of all per- sons '3' This was something Gloria could not understand. Once she would not have understood a lack of love where two had lived tagether continuously. Now she could waive that point, but the estrangement was beyond her. Ordinarily to a girl reared as Gloria had been no more serious affront could have been offered her. It was a meddling with her private affairs which was unpardonable. ; “Was you '2” Little Ella asked the question again :Ewith the sharpness gained from lis- twins to the city attorney crossâ€"ex- amine witnesses in police court. See- . ing that she was almost compelled to Little Ella considered the question gravely. What was she to tell this in- quisitive girl who evidently was not asking questions just for the fun of prying into some one else's life? Somehow or other Gloria began to ap- peal to her. She had decided that the visitor’s ignorance was real, not feigned. In reply to the question as to why she was not received at home, she turned her big dark eyes, luster- less now, upon Gloria, and said quiet- “Oh, what?” "Was it really love ?” The question came forth without a thought of how it might affect her heater. It did, indeed, provoke Little Ella, taking away that kindly feeling which had begun to kindle in her heart because of Gloria’s ignorance. “I loved.” “Oh!” exclaimed Gloria, and a sud- den pain shot through herf “Isn’t there some one who ought to THE DURHAM CHRONICLE.

The sight of Gloria, a' something to be desired, to be por sessed, made Little Ella feel that 11' man with red blood in his veins wouli give her up without a fight.

It’s the system.” ‘ “The system! What’sthat?" Here was the introduction of a new. 'element. Gloria’s curiosity was aroused. There was something inex- orable about it, to judge from Limo Ella’s manner of speaking. “Look at me,” she cried, beating 1!! flat breasts with her red. bony hand I“A man died fer meâ€"an’ he thong; I was worth it.

Never for an instant had she thought that it was-possible for men whom she regarded as upright and honorable to be engaged directly or in- directly in exploiting vice and igno- rance. It had never occurred to her that men whom she might know, some of them owned dreary blocks of hovels and tenements from which high rents were secured only because the people who lived in them were not respect- able. Poor and honest ten-ants could have paid but poor and precarious rents. As little Ella told her story of the “System” at Gloria’s request, her voice grew shriller an'd shri‘ller as the in» dictment grew graver. She talked rapidly, sometimes turning aside from the direct channel of her revelation. to explore some little eddy of a spe- cific instance which made her account a reality. Gloria could have credited something to exaggeration had it not been that just at the moment she thought the girl was beginning to draw on her imagination some inci- dent would be introduced suddenly to make the whole thing ghastly real. For the first time the daughter of3 David Kerr learned of the peddlers of. showy dresses, the venders of cheap: perfumery, the stealthy disseminators of cocaine, and the many other leeches that fat$en on the unfortunate of the: underworld. She learned that all the. misery was but a monument to human: greed. Nothing was exploited in' which there was not a profit of three or four hundred per cent. Nothing was exploited which did not tend to‘ kill the finer feelings, reducing the poor victims in time to the level of brutes. Continued next week. CHAPTER XVIII. on FLESEERTON .
