Only the height- ened color in her face revealed her emotion. She did not like to hear her employ- er speak slightingly of the pretty, sim- ple little woman who had once come into his office, spoken kindly to her, and chattered in her irresponsiblei way until it was time for her husband to take her home. Yet, after all, Es- ther had long ago realized that there could be little in common between her and Andrews, whose forceful personai- ity demanded that sympathetic under- standing which it was not Mildred An-j drew’s to give. They two had been associated to-' gether in Andrew’s work for nearly | six months. She had liked him in-| stinctively the moment she set eycsf on him, and he had singled her out| from among a host of applicants, ap-; parently without & moment's hesita- | tion. He trusted in her completely in' her share of the diflicult work which he performed as secretary to the chem- {cal company. But her woman's instinct had surely told her, during recent weeks, that something more than esteem was growing up between them. This was the first occasion on which Andrews had ever hinted at domestic unhappi- ness. She knew the depth and inten- sity of his nature. She went home to pass an almost sleepless night. She reviewed all her past. She was already thirty years of age; no love worthy of the name had ever come into her life. And she could not hide from herself the knowledge that Andrews and she were made for one another. She could give him such et \ i ) It NS ET i Y / 2 N She Torc Andrew's Letter Into Frag- ments, devotion as was his need, it once she let hc 1 dwell upon the image of him that was cushrined in hor heart. She fought against this awakening love. Day after day found her on her guard, lest by a chance word, even a look, she should betray herself. And 80 the days passed. It hapiened at last, though. The struggle was an intense one. She had not realized how it had d: pleted She had tought, fought, in the hope of being able to retain her position there, and the in- evitable reaction came. Rising to go home one evening, she suddenly fell to the tloor in & dead faint created by utter neirvous ¢ wistion. And when consciousness came back to her she found herself seated in a chair and Audrews bending over her, and his lips were pressed to hers, and his hands clasped hers tightly; and she, too weak to resist, lay there pass- ively in his arms. At last gathered rise. She stood up; she looked at him and he at her. Both realized the tragic nature of the passion that had Neither spoke, ( she strength te “Goodnight, Mr. Andrews,” she said at last, moving with an effort to ward the door. He bowed his head and she wen’ home. Not to rest, though. All nigh she lay in a fever, and in the mor ing she was flushed and delirious, an: thereafter unconsciou Andrews had left flowers for her e ery day, and once, after she began t mend, little Mrs. Andrews called o rer and spoke of how much her hu had ecreated in his wor little woman had goi that the past shou Vhen th Ksther vowed > forgotten. this was not to be A lett 1 foilow her to the ds of t iecessary, (o tind her a he let U the memory of | | love for him was stroug within h. | ter thoueh B f et ] Ll e a0 Bl 20 | in an | tion of the great demand for egg ELAND, FLA., JAN, 22 1914. She knew that she loved him, spite of dishonor. It was not the opinion of the world for which she cared But there rose up before her eyes the pic- ture of innocent, pretty, pathetic lit- tle Mrs. Andrews. She could not prove a traitress to that little woraan, whose whole life was wrapped around the man she loved. She tore Andrew's letter into frag- ments and sat down to compose her answer. In it she said that they must never meet again. She acknowledged her own love for him, but—but— She could not finish that letter. She tore it in pieces also. Then a wild idea came into her head, born, perhaps, of the delirium through which she had passed. She took her pen again and wrote him an | effusive, foolish letter such as must.i she knew, disgust a man of Andrews's | depth of feeling. It ran like this: | “Dear friend of mine, “Your letter is no surprise to me., I, too, love you. O, the sacredness | and mystery of such sublime love as | ours! I have been waiting ever since I saw you for you to tell me that you were not indiiferent to me. | You are the most wonderful man in| | the world to me, you are my god, with your tall, straight figure and magni- | ficent eyes. And vour hair curls in! just the way that I have always likvd! a man's hair to curl. Now that I know you love me my heart beats so | fast it makes me dizzy. 1 am look- ing forward a thousand times a day to our next meeting, when you can kiss me again like you did that time and tell me that I am wholly yours for ever.” No one could imagine what it cost | Esther in self-respect to write that letter. And when it was written she sent the landlady's daughter out to mail it, lest she should be compelled to recall it. It was the memory of little Mrs. Andrews that enabled her to accom- plish her task. And when she had finished a great peace came into her keart. She knew now that it was ir- reparable, that never again need she| see Andrews, that he would seek, andI perhaps find in his wife's love those qualities which he had discovered in her. On the following evening a letter was received by her in answer. In it | Andrews said briefly that he was sail- | ing for Europe with his wife, upon a three months' holiday. He enclosed lier & cheek for her salary during that period and regretted that there would be no furtlicr need for her services. | Esther tore up the check as she de- | sircved Andrews's letter. Then she sent out for a newspaper and studied the advertisements for female help wanted. (Copyright, 1913, by W. G. Chapman.) | DAY OF THE BUTLER PASS!NGlL Arrogance, Insolence and lgnoranc:t:t Are the Causes an English- man Gives. ‘ i | Mrs. Golightly rejoices in her butler and “second inside man,” She wishes to run her household on the Englich plan, or she remembers Mrs. Edith Wharton's earlier stories in which a butler always figures, also a bishep. But we learn from England, writes Philip Hale in the Boston Herald that the reign of the butler is passing. A rash journalist ascribed his undo- ing to his arrogance, insolence and ignorance. W. Holdaway, who describes him- self as a butler, answers in a gallant manner. en does not conduce to a compatibilit; of temper or efliciency. A lot ¢f money is wasted on finery, while a - request for the house, such as clean- ing utensils, is greeted with black looks and ‘Why do they wear out?' " And Mr. Holdaway remarks that if the old type of butler has deteriorat- ed so has the old type of gentry. Do- mestic service is not worth the can- dle; the navy is to be preferred. “As for gambling and drinking below stairs, upstairs sets the example.” Is it possible that the old family, crusted, gouty butler in England is passi In the old fashioned plays he was delighted with his “I have known master, forty years, man and boy,” ete.; and there are fine butlers in fiction. One of the best is the father of Ethelberta in Thomas Har- dy's romance, who is proud of his daughter's literary fame and enjoys the discussion about her while he stands near the dining table. Then there is the butler in “Our Mutual Friend,” who pours out the wine with the air of a disapproving analytical chemist We do not see how any American who in his boyhood saw at table helping themselves, a potato or a doughnut with a fork, or asking a neighbor to hurry up and pass the butter, can view his butler or his valet without a quavering voice and a trembling of the knees. Octave Mir- beau’s “Journal d'une femme de cham- bre” is widely known. We should like to read the memoirs of a butler “exclusive” American house- hold. e ———— Can Get Along Without Eggs.
