Every little while there would be a
spanking of steps through- the yard, a
flash of black curls through the door,
a furious beating on the temper gong.
.Take that, will vou?" Lettie would
cry, addressing a spirit within herself,
often addressed before. "Loray, m
beat you. You make me tlrea an
time trying to get me I Now how do
you feel?"
The temper eong had long since
ceased to be a thlna of wood. Lettle'S
imagination had endowed It with a
fraction of her own nature, the unae
alrable fraction, and she scolded and
threatened and pounded it with a fury
that was sharper because of the per
sonification. Mrs. Penfleld traced the frequency of
these demonstrations to undue exer-
tion. "Lettie. dear, don't work so hard,"
she remonstrated.
Ponr.iaL iinriin I Botta." replied
Lettie firmly. "There ain't much time,
and the old' thing balks on me."
nt in the middle of the second fore
noon Lettie came Into the house with
Impressive triumph. Her steps were
measured, her head high. ,

but Lettie gave no explanation of Its
purpose. Instead, sne took it into me
bedroom and hid It Jealously behind
her own sleeping box.
She scrubbed her face and hands to
the full capacity of soap and water,
brushed her black curls with conscien
tious vigor, and put on her better ging
ham dress. For a moment sne starea
in dismay at her shabby shoes. Mrs.
Penfleld had bought them when Lettie
first arrived, but they had necessarily
been cheap ones, , and the Inevitable
had happened. , .
"I don't caret" decided Letrle, with
a toss of her head. "The upper part of
me'i aa eood as anybody, and I'll keep
folks busy looking at that. Some day
I'll have lots of shoes-riots or 'em..
Unheld bv the redundant luxury of
the future, Lettie set forth. Her ob
jective had been In mind from the
first. Part of the Information wnich
she had nicked un In her open-air life
was the system by which advertising
material is distributed, sue naa
known more than one boy who was em
ployed by The Wideawake Advertising
agency, and her present visit was to
headquarters.
The .office was an Informal affair, a
narrow room on the ground floor. The
company consisted of one man and an
offlcp bov. It was the - latter ' who
stepped forward when Lettie entered.
She hueeed tlcht to the counter by
way of concealing her shoes from tbe
view of the critical, but her head was
very high. : ' , '
"Is the, manager tafj f.Vy v
j Th mnnn'eer 'was undeniably ' In.
Lettie herself could see him, a stout
man with heavy, eyebrows, sitting at a
desk behind the counter. But the
young mnn was a person of evasion.
"What can I do for you?"- he said,
with a . lazy smile. .
: "You can let me see the manager,"
Informed Lettie, coolly. "I got busi
ness with him." '
"Have you?" drawled the young man.
"Wlio'll I tell hlmr ' v. ,
Lettie considered awiftly. This was
a business errand. It was a time for
dlmltv. One could not be too careful
"Tell him Miss Penfleld," shf replied.
proudly. ' ,
The young man laughed aloud, but
Lettie stared at him with unflinching
composure. The room was so small tnai
everv word uttered In It waa distinctly
audible to all its occupants. Thereforv
the stout man at the desk was accu
rately posted cn Ihe Interview to date
Nevertheless, his assistant turned' to
ward blm. seemingly by ' a pivotal
movement of his elbow on the counter,
aod Inoulred:- ',
"Mr.' Abbott, feel like seeing Miss
Penfleld f . V:': ' :M "
Mr. Abbott faced about, appraised
Lettie without v any indication or joy
and shruKced a bored shoulder.
"Let her come In," he said Indiffer
ently. , , '.'
Lettie went. ,,. .:..
Mr. Abbott smllcl latlly at the small
creature who had settled Into the chair
at the side of his desk. He was evi
dently Inclined to underrate the serl
oosness of the Impending Interview.
"What'a eating . you, kldr ha In

reproof. "I coroe to talk business,"
she anhounord coldly. ' -' .' - ,

A a-ust of laughter shook Mr. Ab

With a spring, Lettie came to her
feet. "Shut up I" she shrieked, ,-uon i
n dare to make fun of me. You'll
get me Oh, excuse"
Limply she dropped back Into her
chair. It had occurred to her vaguely
that business must be conducted not
according to natural changes of feel
Ing, but by heroic methods calculated
to , coax results. And because Mr,
Abbott happened to be amused by day
light fireworks, he languidly gave her
another chance.
"Excuse me," repeated Lettie, by
way of emphasizing her contrition. "I
ret excited thinking 'bout this here
machine." A brieht smile danced
across her small mouth and lighted
nn her black eves. "You see. It's -a
wonderful scheme. All the boy has to
do Is to stand at the bottom of the

disappeared frdra his face, like the
lifting of morning fog. "Where's your
machine V he demanded.
, "It's at home. I I "
' 'Frald ' I'd steal , It, eh? Well, I
can tell you "
"Oh, no-o," Interrupted Lettie
breathlessly. Her .black eyes, sprang
wide as she glimpsed the hldeousness
of failure. "J I thought Td see if
you were lnt'rusted, 'cause "if you are,
I I'd make machines for you for a
dollar - apiece. And, honest, they"
In her eagerness to forestall refusal,
she rushed madly through all the
points of her scheme, instead of mar
shaling them diplomatically, as she
had planned. : ' ' '
Mr. Abbott took up hie pencil and
found ,hls place in the account book
from which he had been taking notes.
It was painfully evident that his easy
tolerance was exhausted. ; His good
nature was in lump's, like pocket free
gold, ; and after a few minutes s one
confronted the barrenness of country
rock. Sensing this reversal of atti
tude, Lettie grew cold with prickle
of ghastly fear. Before her mental
vision swam a misty picture of Christ
mas tree, gifts, Jollity, cheer; It
Jiggled dizzily, receded farther and
-farther.' She gasped. - '
. "Oh, please be lnt'rusted," she
begged, pounding a small brown fist
Into her open palm, "Honest, Itll

"But even If It did," broke In Lettie

"I ain't aiming 'to get my boys ex

vertising. Now you run long outa
here while I'm still holding on to my
temper. Do you hear?"
Lettie rose swiftly, her face white
with fear, her eyes blazing with In
tensity. "You gotta listen. Honest,
you'd get more work out of your boys.
Ill bring It; I'll show you; I'll"
"Get outa here! I ain't going to

with a flare of anger. "Can't you talk
sense? I'm telling you straight"
"Jack," called Mr. Abbott, "put this
kid 6ut."
"Oh I Oh !" screamed Lettie. "Don't
you dare " . In a blinding gust of
rage at the threatened Indignity, she
clenched her lists and pounded the
frail old desk till the papers rustled
and the Inkwell rocked against Its
mptal holder. A wrathful red had
surged Into her cheeks; her narrow
chest Jumped up and down In agony.
"Don't you dare! Just have a heart.
Listen till I Oh, let me alone.
Don't you dnre; don't you"
Shrloklng, protesting, lashing ' out
with her lenn. angry arms, Mlsa Pen
fleld was being forcibly ejected from
the office of the Wideawake Adver
tising agency. The boy Jack, with
unconcealed, relish, had grasped., the
child by a thin elbow and was guld'ng
her to the door. Not without diffi
culty, however! He was able to con
trol the general . direction, but not
without picturesque zigzagging. Let
tie, alternating shouts of, entreaty and
defiance, was executing ' a series of
contortions about the fulcrum of her
own elbow which would have given
suggestions to a vaudeville dancer la
search of innovations.
"You don't know boys," screamed
Lettie. "Leggo, dern you I You don't
know boys. They'd rather work a
trick than eat. They"
"Shut up, you wild Indian, advised
the boy called Jack.
"Shut up, yourself," retorted Lettie.
"You don't know boys! You don't
know" She stopped, abruptly con
sclous that she was addressing a
closed door and a sidewalk empty of
life except for a pattering Airedale,
obviously not Interested In advertis
ing.'
Stifling with anger, panic-stricken
by failure, Lettie dashed down the
street, into a vacant lot where there
was a sprawling live-oak tree. With
small brown lists she began beating
the rough trunk. Wild sobs shook
her thin frame. Tears rolled down
her face ; anger dried them on her hot
cheeks, only to replace them by a new
flood.
With savage delight In her own suf
fering, she beat the gnarled bark till
the blood - came and her muscles
ached. Then her arms dropped; she
slumped Into a heap on the ground-
no, longer a will-driven human , being,
full of fight and fierceness, but a for
lorn little girl, hopeless and heart
broken. With all the gathered longing
of a hard, dreary .childhood, she had
set her mind on ' these holidays as
upon some idealized heights of bliss,
And now It was to be as It had al
ways been : no tree, no presents, no
party, no games, no anything!
Next week she would prowl through
various streets In the early dusk,
stopping now and then before a win
dow to watch somebody else's Christ'
mas tree, spreading Its branches be
tween parted curtains, dotted with
lighted candles that gleamed on tinsel
and gay red bells Just as she had
done last year and year before nnd
year before ! Perhaps, as had hap
pened once, she would find a church
party. She would cllmo up on a fence
and look In at the window at groups
and groups of . children waiting 'for
Santa Claus to give them presents
from the big tree with Its deep, sort
boughs and chains of tinsel and glit
ter. Inside outside 1 What a differ
ence! And she, Lettie, would be out
side, clinging to a fence, looking in
upon good times that had never been
hers. Outside always, always out
side v.--. ''
Her body shook with sobs. Her thin
fingers twisted In 'the dry grass and
the sharp oak leaves'. . . . Something
cold touched her burning cheek. She
squirmed away, The cold touch fol
lowed. She reached to push It from
her, and her fingers fell on the soft
ears of a dog. With a wild cry Lettie
sat up and threw her arms around the
shaggy creature. He licked her face.
He waa a wise dog, a dog of family,
and he had seen small people, suffer
before, so he knew exactly what to do,
He continued to lick and Lettie con
tlnued to hug. He had offered his
sympathy and she tppk.lt with greea,
and felt vastly better. Her tears were
checked.' -.v'- ;,.'' '-.;. .
"You see," she said aloud, her voice

In order to properly understand
these two characters, It will be neces
sary to look at the several narratives
In which they are brought to bur view.
These ore three In number. '
I. The Behavior of Martha and Mary
In the Days of 8unshlne. (Luke 10:38-
42.)
In this picture we see Martha en
gaged In preparing a menl for Jesus.
In her effort to make the best prepara
tion for her honored guest, she became
distracted. She not only was cum
bered with much serving but she found
fault with Mary for not helping her.
She even censured the Lord for per-
riltting such neglect. Martha haa had
er followers In all ages. Every church
knows them. Tbe busy, troubled and
fussy women who are engaged In serv
ice for the Lord with little patience
for' those who sit at the .feet of Jesus.
Mary .sat at Jesus' feet and heard His
word. She had taken her turn In tbe
service as the word "also" would im
ply. She did not neglect service, but
had the keenness of perception to dis
cern that communion with the Lord
was more prised by Him than the serv
ing of a meal. Both of these women
loved the Lord and it is Impossible to
say which loved Him more. In the
days of sunshine In this home, Mary
made the good choice of communion
with her Lord.
II. Mary and Martha In the Day of
Great 8orrow. (John 11:1-46.)
The next scene Which occupies our
attention is the occasion of the resur
rection of Lazarus. In the time of the
sickness of Lazarus, these sisters had
sent for Jesus. Jesus loved the mem
bers of this household, and yet, strange
to say, He' delayed His going unto
them. - Martha met JVm with rebuke,
saying that If He had been there her
brother had not died. This carried
with It the censure for His delay un
der such trying circumstances. This
act of Martha called forth some mar
velous teachings on the resurrection.
After this interview .with Martha, she
came to Mary with the message of a
call from Jesus. Mary was composed
and remained In the house until called
for. She. Immediately responded to
this call and used the Identical words
of 'Martha, but instead of rebuking
her, He mingled His tears of sympathy
with hers of sorrow. The reason she
had such composure n this dark hour
was that she had patiently sat at His
feet and listened to His word so that
she understood the meaning of the
tragedy. The difference then In the
behavior of these two women In this
dark hour was doubtless due to the
fact thnt In the days of sunshine Mary
$ad entered fully Into fellowship with
the Lord and that Martha had lost this
grace through her fretfulness.
111. Jesus Entertained at Bethany.
Uohn 1:1-9.) ' ,
At this supper appeared Mary,
Martha and Lazarus, who was raised
from the dead. Doubtless this supper
was in grateful appreciation of His
help and sympathy in the days of their
trial. At this meal Maltha was back
at her old business of serving, but it
would seem with an unruffled disposi
tion. Mary took a pound of spikenard,
very costly, and annolnted the feet of
Jesus and wiped them with her hair.
This was a token of , her great love and
devotion. She was back In her ac
customed place at the feet of Jesus.
With the keen Intuition of true love,
she brought her costliest gift as an evi
dence of her love. She thus antici
pated His death and burial, knowing
that she could not minister unto Him
then. The Lord received this actf oi
love at its full value. "Against the
foul criticism of Judan, Jesus defended
Mury. He declared that It waa ne
more a waste thai the ointment
.placed on the bodlei of " the "dead
in embalmment. n fact, it was the
doing of this very act beforehand unto
Him. Only Mary of all. His disciples
had really understood Jesus when He
said He must be crucified and raised
again the third day. The announce
ment of His crucifixion brought unto
the others dismay. They refused to
believe in the resurrection, but Mctry
came to annolnt His body for burying,
