Miss Roxbury rose at once, glad
o f another channel for her thoughts,
but amid her weighing and meas
uring, and carafqT calculations of
pints and pounds, the strange im
pression did not leave her mind.
A fter the rich crimson syrup had
been poured into the row of shining
tumblers on the table, she returned
to her chints-covered rocker and
took up the Bible to read her daily
chapter. Opening it at random,
her eves fell unon these words:
'• Then shall He answer them, ray
ing, inasmuch as ye did it not unto
one o f the least of these— ’’
Miss Roxbury read no further on
that page, but hurriedly turned back
to Chronicles, which, she felt, was
perfectly safe ground. But, mingled
with the lung gaacalugioal tabira,
■be saw other word* between the
lines, so that the Israelitish records
read thus:
“ The son o f Eikanah, the son of
Joel, the son of Axariah. (‘ Y e did
it not.’)
“ The son o f Tshsth, the son of
Aiwir, the son of Ebiasaph, the son
of Korah. (‘Ye did it not.’)
Finally, the whole page icsolved
itself into these four monosyllables.
She closed the Bible and put it
in its accustomed place on the table,
bounded on the north by the lamp,
on the south by tho match-box, on
tho east by Bunyan's Pilgrim's Pro
gress, and on the west by a bunch
of worsted rases under a glass case.
She was restless, miserable, tor
mented. She endeavored to read
the “ Life of Na|ioleon Bonaparte,”
but even tho thrilling story of the
Russian campaign was lacking in
interest, compared with her own in
ward conflict between duty and the
cold selfishness of a lifetime.
She did not enjoy her dinner, al
though the butter beans were from
her garden, and the black raspber
ries were the first of the season.
She could not take her accus
tomed afternoon nap, and for the
first time in years the Daily Tribune
lay unopened. She even put it out
o f Right in her china closet. A
wonderful new design in patchwork
known as tho Rocky Mountain pat
tern, could not fasten her attention.
She ordered the home and rock
away and drove four miles after
wild cheiry bark, for which she bad
no need, as her garret was already
a great herbarium.
A t last the dreary day came to a
close, but was succeeded by an
equally uncomfortable night. Atnid
frequent tossing and waking, Miss
Roxbury dreamed of thin little
hands stretched out to her in pite
ous appeal, and of a sad, wonderful
voice that mid with infinite reproach:
“ Ye did it not.”
The Rev. Joseph Alder was sur
prised soon after breakfast the next
morning by the appearance of Miss
Reliance Roxbury in the pai-sonage
porch. She brought a basket of
raspberries, and said:

The sky was already white with
the dawn.
The mother did not
sleep. As the light o f another day
of misery crept into the room, she
raised herself on one elbow and
looked long at her child, restrain
ing an impulse to snatch it to her
heart; then softly rose, and after
bathing her face and hands and
kneeling iq prayer for endurance,
took her work and rat down by
the narrow window. A few hours
later she stood amid the bustle o f
the Grand Central depot, with D ot
clinging to her dress. A crowd o f
wondering, expectant children were
being marshalled into line to take

the Roxbury gato, and she surveyed
the old stone house with woodbine
clambering over its gray walls.
“ Yes, child.”
Dot's face grew luminous.
A
bath, a bountiful supper o f bread
and milk, and a walk in the garden
kept her joy fu l until twilight, but
with bedtime came the longing for
her mother.
“ I wants my mamma— my own
mamma,” she said.
Then Miss Roxbury gave full vent
to the instinct that * can never be
