An Independent
Worker
She Came to Grief by Ig- j
noring System
By F. A. MITCHEL
Miss Gwendolen Archer, aged eight
een, was an earnest church worker.
There was only one trouble about Miss
Archer so said the older ladles of the
church she was rather inclined to take
affairs Into her own bands. She had
served on a committee to send boxes
of clothing and other domestic articles
to ministers in out of the way places
the largeness of whose families was
proportionate to the smallness of their
salaries. Becoming restive at being
subordinated to older women, it oc
curred to Miss Archer to pack a box
and send it away herself.
When she had got together sufficient
articles, consisting principally of such
as would be needed by children, she
looked over the list of Impecunious
ministers with large families and se
lected one that stood higher on the list
than some to whom boxes had been
A 6CSriCIOJt OP THE TRUTH CAME StJD-
. PESIiY RDSHIKQ OVEB HER. '
sent Why this family had been omit,
ted she did, not know, ' and since she
was acting Independently she did not
care to ask.
There was ahjthls time in the south
west a sort of missionary station pre
sided over by the Itev. Francis Kap
lan. Ills parishioners were plainsmen,
cowpuncliers. Indians, greasers and
some negroes. There was not a per
son in his flock with whom he could
associate on familiar terms. It was
lonesome out there in the home of the
cactus, and Mr. Kaplan sighed for a
companion'. He was thinking of writ
ing to some of the ladies In the east
who bad sent him to bis field of labor
to ship him a wife when one day be
received a box.
Mr. Kaplan opened it, wishing that
he might find a wife packed in excel
sior, a real flesh and blood wlfef who
would be a companion to him In his
exile. Taking off the cover, be saw
inside on top of various articles a pa
per on which was written in a wom
an's hand, "If you want anything else
send to Miss Gwendolen Archer." The
address was added.
Taking up an article, he unfolded a
little girl's petticoat; the next was a
nightie; a third was a pair of boy's
knickerbocker trousers. Then came toys
of various kinds, children's shoes, stock
ings that had been often darned and
some much thumbed Bchoolbooks.
Now, though Mr. Kaplan had no chil
dren to use these articles, there were
plenty of little Mexicans and picka
ninnies who would be only too glad to
get Jhem. He turned them over to
some women of his flock for distribu
tion, and various children who had
been running about nearly naked were
now better covered.
Mr. Kaplan wrote Miss Archer,
thanking ber for her donation, and, re
ferring to ber paper on which was
written that if he wanted anything
else to send to her. he said, "There is
one thing I need very much, but since
it is not an easy thing to get I hesi
tate to ask for It" He did not inform
her that since he had no family of his
own he had given the things to those
who had, but be said some other
tliinps that were not called for name
ly, that he was sure Miss Archer must
be a very practical Christian and al
together lovely.
Then followed by correspondence a
kind of twenty questions game. The
young lady asked whether the object
desired belonged to the animal, vege
table or mineral kingdom. The reply I
was the animal kingdom, was it a
pet? Yes. it was intended for a pet
Then followed a number of questions
as to what kind of an animal it was
dog. cat. parrot or such like? The
answer to all these questions was in
the negative.
Miss Archer, not making headway in
the matter, concluded to consult her
minister. The minister. Dr. Hawley,
Mistened to .her and took Mr. Kaplan s
letters, which he promised to read and
advise her after having done so. He,
however, turned them over to his wife
with instructions to read them and re
port. Mrs. Hawley read the letters and,
considering them rather strange epis
tles for 'a; clergyman and a man of
family to be writing to a young girl.
consulted with the chairman of 'the
committee for sending supplies to in
digent clergymen. Then it came out
that the ladies having learned that Mr.
Kaplan had no wife or children, his
name had been erased from their list.
It also came out that Miss Archer, in
stead of working under orders, bad
been doing so on her own hook. Mrs.
Hawley and the ladles of the commit
tee saw at once that the article Mr.
Kaplan wanted was a wife.
Miss Archer received a note from her
pastor that he had turned Mr. Kaplan's
letters over to his wife, who wonld
endeavor to solve the riddle.
Mrs. Hawley's report was long de
layed. One day a member of the sup
ply committee showed Miss Archer a
photograph of a handsome young
clergyman and asked her how she lik
ed his appearance. Miss Archer ex
pressed herself very much pleased
with it Later on another member of
the committee 'asked Miss Archer to
exchange photographs with her. The
meaning of these two photographic in
cidents was made known to Mt. Kap
lan by Mrs. Hawley, who had written
him saying that she would be happy
to assist In supplying the article he
needed and apologizing for Miss Ar
cher's having prematurely sent him the
childreu'8 clothes, the girl having sup
posed him to be married. So Mr. Kap
lan, at Mrs. Hawley's suggestion, sent
her his photograph, and she sent him
Miss Archer's. .
One day Mrs. nawley reported to
Miss Archer that she had written Mr. !
Kaplan and he had given her the j
name of the article he wanted. Miss
Archer was all eagerness to hear the '
sojution of the matter and was much !
disappointed when she was told that it
was not best that she should know I
the name of the article, but it would j
be sent to Mr. Kaplan and If Miss Ar
cher chose she would be commissioned i
by the church committee to take it to 1
him.
Miss Archer was more puzzled than
ever. Why was it not sent by express?
The reply to this was that, being an
animal, it must eat and, being a very
high bred and valuable animal, it could
not well be intrusted to the care of
the employees of an express company.
Miss Archer thought the matter over
and decided to decline the commission, '
She 6aw no reason why she should
have the responsibility of a pet dog or j
cat on a" long journey to a benighted i
pountry. Why, the idea was too ab-1
surd for anything. If Mr. Kaplan j
wanted a pet he could come and get it
When this reply was made to Mrs. !
nawley the matter, so far as Miss j
Archer knew, was dropped. Then one j
day she was informed that Mr. Kap
lan was coining for his pet, nnd, since1 '
he had written her about it she was I
to give It to him when he arrived. I
Miss Archer was somewhat miffed at I
this, saying that she saw no reason
why Mr. Kaplan couldn't have told
her frankly what he wanted as well
as any one else. She asked if he in
tended bringing his wife and family
with him and was told that he did
S not. She said that Rhe hnrt hoen hnrh.
ered a good deal about the matter and
would send no more boxes of supplies
to any one. The response to this was
that she had brought the matter upon
herself by working Independent of the
committee.
One day Miss Archer was much sur
prised at receiving a card on which
was engraved the name of Mr. Kap
lan. ,
"Well," she exclaimed, "I'm glad
he has come. Now 1 suppose this
bother will be ended. But I haven't
anything for him. I wonder that Mrs.
Hawley hasn't sent it"
Expecting to see an old, elderly or
middle aged man, she did not take
pains to Improve her toilet but went
downstairs Just as she was.' On en
tering the drawing room she stopped
short on the threshold. A young man
about twenty-tlve years old rose to
greet her. She recognized him at once
as the person whose photograph she
had admired.
"I have come to thank you." he said,
with a very pleasant smile, "for the ar
ticles you sent me."
"Why, I"- . '
"You didn't expect to see a man of
my age?" ;
"No; I did not"
"I have no wife or children, so 1
gave the things in the box to the chil
dren of others."
"You're not married?" By this time
a blush was spreading itself over her
face, not that she dreamed of what he !
had come for, but that she had blun
dered. 9 . V
"Oh. no; I'm not married, hut the
things you sent came very handy, I as
sure you."
Then the remembrance of this mys
terious thlnn he wanted came to her.
"Why." she asked, "couldn't you
have written me about this this pet"
A suspicion of the truth came sud
denly rushing upon her. The slight
blush of a momeut ago became a deep
crimson.
Thus far the Interview was given by
either one or the other of the parties
concerned, but here the account ends.
Whnt further passed between the
young couple was not revealed. Mr.
Kaplan wns obliged to po back very
soon to his charge, and Miss Archer
had in the meanwhile become so in
fatuated with -him that she would not
let him ko alone. So there was a
hasty wedding.
"Served you right." said the chair
man of the supplies committee to the
bride. "Hereafter you'll know bettor
than to work independently."
The Education of a Gentleman.
Friday afternoou was "debate day"
in a school. On that afternoon class
es after 2 o'clock were let go. and the
assembled school listened to shyly spo
ken pieces of poetry and addresses to
gladiators. Then came the climax, the
debate when world Issues were set-
tied for once and all. The speeches
were after the pattern of this one.
which one teacher recalls:
"Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentle-
men, I rise to defend the affirmative
of the question whether It is better to
have wealth or education. Mr. Chair
man, If you was to get a kiss letter
from a lady and couldn't read It
wouldn't you Just feel like golug away
and dying? I close now to give place
to an abler speaker." New York Post
