like a pntl. Slw was fra now to work j
out her own happiness. ' t f w:nt ,ur nuul' allowance rptfular
Rut for the next week hannlness v niougiu to tue future-
"I suppose you have read lu the pa
pers If you have time to think about
anything except janrt that the
Weetfleld bank la wrecked. They hart
arrested Mr. Hartley and Mr. Manners,
but that does not help the rest of us.
In a short time I presume I shall be ou
the county. If you had married Dan
Martin, as I wanted you to do, I should
not be facing: this terrible situation,
but you always were headstrong, and
my whole life has been sacrificed to the
effort to raise you as your dear dead
mother would have had me. Even
now Dan is willing to forgive your
folly and marry yon. lie will have
the bouse all done over, and his sister
will go to Johs to live, and there will
be only Dan and you and me."
The letter covered five closely writ
ten pages, and Aunabel read it through
twice 'Ith firmly set lips and dry
; eye. Aen very deliberately she put
on her coat,, hat and gloves and went
.out for a long walk In the snowy park,
. where motor cars filled with fur clad
figures flew past and laughing children
pelted her with harmless balls of feath
ery whiteness. It was a glorious day.
and when she came back to her dlniar
hall room she was smiling, and the
hard lines had faded from her face
Then she wrote her answer:
My Dear Aunt Molly-I am so grieved
to hear of the bank wreck. I hud not
read of It in the papers, because we have
been enjoying the privllese of some apo
dal Instruction under Professor of
New Tork, and I have been working at
the academy night and day. FVrhnps the
bank receivers may save something, and
to the meantime you must not worry. 1
will have the store deeded to you. and
the rent will more than keep your bouse
coins, and each week I will send you
some of my earnings. I am Inclosin? V
money order for -5 that I happen to
have In hand. Have Mr. Gregory ar
range the transfer of the store property.
As to Mr. Martin. please do not urge that
upon me again. I still feel that I have
some right to happiness, and I know it
will never come to me through Dan Mar-1
tin.
Not one word of reproach, no re
minders of a dun colored childhood
and a dreary girlhood, spent under
nagging of the most trying sort: no
reference to th fact thst her own
patrimony bad gone under with ber
aunt's small fortune In the bank
wreck; no Intimation that she bad
sent almost her last dollar In the
money order and must now drop her
art studies and seek a position In the
workaday world. She smiled grimly ni
she mailed the letter. Her aunt wonM
accept the sacrifice and wail to Dun
Martin over Annabel's lack of appro
elation. Dan Martin! now she hated eve-;;
Inch of his undersized person. Ms
small beady eyes, his perpetual smile,
his weak, receding chin! She mailed
the letter with a strange feeling of
independence achieved, for now she
had paid to her own satisfaction the
debt of gratitude imposed by ber aunt
vbich. had bjing, over, her young life!
seemed to move farther and farther
away. In later yean she never
thought of tho days without shud
dering. The holidays were over. Nobody
wanted to hire clerks or buy Illuminat
ed cards or telephone records or any
of the pretty things she painted. The
room rent was again due. She might
sell ber few casts and painting outfit.
She set her Hps firmly and climbed the
stairs to a fashionable employment
agency. The manager was sitting at
the telephone when Annabel entered.
She hung up the receiver with an Im
patient frown.
"What do yen want position as
governess-or companion? Nothing like
that In view; a hundred applicants
for every position. On, wait a minute!
You look bright Can you do manicur
ing and dress hair a bit and mend
laces? If you can do it even halfway.
I wish you'd try this place. I've sent
the customer a doten girls, and they
always part after a terrible scoue.
The woman's crauk, but you look as
If you had tact."
The upshot was that Annabel, with
23 cents in her purse and a notice of
rent due tinder the door of her hall
room, went to see Mrs. Cartwrlght
Brown, and that highly strung person
age said with dissatisfaction and sus
picion In her voice that she would give
the girl n trial. ' j
The Cartwrigbt Browus were newly
rich. The father had made an euor
mous fortune through his own efforts
and was proud q it The mother was
so burdened by it that she was ou the
verge of nervous prostration. Annabel
saw it was nerves and not temper and
took heart Later she learned that
there were a son aud a daughter away
at college who were Just a little
ashamed of their new riches.
Nobody, Annabel least of all, knew
how It happened, but she became the
virtual bead of the Cartwrigbt Brown
household. Mrs. Brown vowed that
she could hire a visiting manicurist
and hairdresser, but no one could stand
between her and domestic and social
worries as Annabel could.
It was Annabel who reorganized the
staff of servants and Installed a com
petent housekeeper. It was Annabel
who had the conservatories brought up ' i&olj:

until me two yamg people came home
from college. The daughter was a
mere butterfly, who neither appreciat
ed nor resented Annabels position In
the household. The son was a grave
faced chap who seemed suddenly op
pressed by tlie responsibility of bis fa
ther's wealth. He had studied theoret
ical sociology In college and on practi
cal Hues among the glided youth or his
class.
By this time the Onrtwrlght Brawns
were at their country place, nud An
uauej round that her early morning
rliles were subject to Interruption, not
uupieasant, but disturbing. Norman
Brawn Insisted upon unloading upon
her capable shoulders, as his mother
and father had done before lilm. the
onraen or his personal problems. But
they were no longer burdensome when
he found that , Aunabel shared his
Weals about the use of wealth, and he
Doidiy carried his plans to his father.
"No more college? You're going Into
tne works t say. what will our rich
friends thlnkr
"I am more Interested In knowing
what the meu at our works will thluk.
Aud Miss Anuabcl says"
Cartwrigbt Brown waved his baud as
If to dismiss the entire subject.
"Oh. If Annabel says you are right
neither heaven nor earth could move
you. I declare that girl has this fam
ily hypnotised."
"Nothing of the sort aud you know
it, replied his sou hotly. "She ha
simply taught us how to make the bos
of our money.'
"Ami cured your mother of nervous
prostration. Gracious, when I think
those old days! Oh, try It If you like.
Letter from Miss Molly Sewell to
Annabel Maltland
We were Inexpressibly shocked. Of
course I had watched for your name un
der some magazine Illustrations or tor
soms work you would send me. and when
none came 1 sent Pan Martin to Den
er to nnd out what you were doing. You.
a Sewell and a Maltland. hiring out as a
mere servant! You must come home at
onoe. The Woitneld bank will pay tc
cents on the dollar, and we can get along
somehow, and If you show some signs of
settling; down I think Dan will marry you

' Annabel's position In the household
was peculiar. She was neither house
keeper nor private secret rj -Just
"Ulss Annabel." ' She did not receive
vtth Mrs. Brown on Wednesday after
noons, but she did Join the family oc
slonally at the theater or in viewing
art exhibitions. And It was after one
of these rare occasions that she real
ized the full extent of her happiness.
She had been hunting congenial work,
not an art career. She knew now
that ber small talent for drawing had
offered her only an excuse for fleeing
an unhappy home life, but that she
never would have become a great art
ist while she was a competent man
ager of the Cartwrigbt Brown home.
