There was but one chance in athousand., 1 must stand on the streetand wait until sho appeared. [ hastened back and ook up my position near the shop. I scanned every woman passing by, Tt wus bitterly ¢old and raw and the wind chilled me. T was faint with anxioty. Suddenly a carvinge drove up, o foot- man opened the door, and a lady, e gantly dressed, alighted. 1 tore across the stroet—it was the Russian lady. With my heart in my mouth,I iold her my pitiful story and begged hor to help me. If she wanted a gervant, would she only try me? I hada sewing machine and would make her dresses for nothing if I could only s with her until T could write to my people at home; they would send me money and I could get vack to England. *And my dress—am I to lose it?" wked impatiently. *Not all of it.

The porter of the house evidently mistook her for one of the two girls who hid beon in the employ of the sewing machine company, for one or the other of them had oftén been inmy room. Some small extra compensation was giv- en him for the new lodger. She never spoke save in English, and her coming to me had been so mysterious that I felt quite certain the porter wus entively i norant of her condition. Cortainly it worried me a great deal. More than once I ventured to ask for an explanation, but Eliza would put her hand on my mouth so thav my speech was intereupted. Tt distressed me to see how hard she worked, for [ felt suve this new life was hurting hor. I could sce that from her pallor. If anything more than another made me feel sor it was for her beautiful hands. She seemed to take infinite pains in spoiling them. “They are filthy—horrible, "she would say, “‘und still I think I care for them more than I should. If Iruuhl only get u thick, red, rough skin on them!" As she said, the owner of the shop was only too glad to sell a machine. Eliza furnished the money.
