rising from the fall a careless step had caused'
she examined the bruised and painful arm '.
which now would prove only a new weariness'
an added weight to the daily burden; while if
she could only have broken it, the burden would
havo been lifted for a brief season from the
tired shoulders, and, conscience qaieted by the
inevitable necessity, she would willingly have
purchased the rent that it would bring with the
suffering that must follow. Then gathering up

lesson in the oxclamation worth oonsidering.

not j if those who have tho power, have also the
will to make it something else. Tho first step
