Gap Between Them
? By f. A. M1TCHEL ?
I can never forget that dreadful day
Bert and I parted. Unmerciful dis
aster had "followed fast and followed
faster," and this wan the crowning
trouble. Father bad failed In business,
and the shock had killed him. Mother,
accustomed to every luxury and now
reduced to penary, followed him In a
few months. Neither father nor mother
had any near relatives, and It fell to
some old friends to determine for Bert
and me what we should do.
Bert was twelve nnd I eight. Had
we been but a few years older we
might have taken some action for our
selves. As It was, it was decided that
we must bo so unrated. A friend of
father's offered to take Bert and give
I him an education. A lady was found
who would do the same for me. We
rlung to each other, declaring that we
would stay together, Hert saying that
he would take a position as telegraph
messenger? the only occupation for
boys he had noticed- but despite our
pleadings we were sent In different
directions. This, of course, promised
better for us than trying to make our
way In the world for ourselves nt that
tender age. but It seemed dreadfully
hard to us.
It did turn out better, though In my
case the good results were delayed for
a long while. The lady who took me
had no children and Intended to adopt
me. But persons who have not nnd
never have had children of their own
cannot t>egin with a child of ten
w ithout great trouble. It Is like taking
up any other occupation altout which
we have learned nothing. Besides, my
foster mother was a very nervous
woman, and whatever I did worried
her. I had been with her but a short
while when she decided that her health
required that she should l>e relieved of
my care, and 1 was given up to another
person who was paid to take me.
When I was fourteen my foster
mother died. and. since she had made
no provision for me, 1 was told that
I must earn money. This I began do
Ing by being a baby's nurse, and from
that I drifted into other menial duties
till I liecame a housemaid in the fam
My of a wealthy gentleman whose
only child was a daughter about my
own age. This young ladv upon learn
ing the story of my life was very sym
pathetic and kind. She would not ad- i
rnit that I would always remain a
servant, and helj>ed me to prepare my
self for something l>etter. She made
me her own maid, though she was not
of the kind to need a maid, preferring
to do everything for herself, giving me '
the position that I might have more
time to improve myself. She was a !
:tronc character, well educated and
ixwsesslne Intellectual tastes. She lx?
catne my teacher, and nnder her tui
tion, beginning where I had left off at
my father's deatli. I gained what
might be considered a fair education.
Indeed 1 proved an apt scholar, and
nbsort>ed in a short while what some
girls would l>e years In learning. Miss 1
Gwendolen ITawley. my mtstress, my 1
teacher and my friend, was delighted '
with the success of her effort* in my '
Itehalf. assuring me when I expressed 1
my gratitude that she was indebted to
me. since I had given her something
?
W ben Bort and I were separated we
were loo young to keep track of each
other. I pined for him for awhile, but
the memory of children requires time
to develop, and within two or three
years 1 had forgotten much about him
This was to he e*|>ected of him con
cerning his remembrance of me. Chll
dron of the same family not brought
lip together have little or nothing In
common Still I had a brother and
longed for him. One tearful letter
written a few days nfter Bert and I
parted was the only message 1 recelv
ed from him while we were children.
Miss Hawlcy had a fine social post
tion. but only mingled In society to a
moderate extent She was prominent
in organizations whose object was to
ameliorate the condition of the poor.
Of course, she had a number of friends
and acquaintances. but as she did not
entertain largely I had little or no
knowledge of them. She was so Inter
ested In Intellectual anil charitable pur
suits that I fanrled she would not be
likely to marry: for she was twenty
two. and passing out from an age when
the feelings are easily enlisted. But j
i>ne evening when she had two young
men and a girl friend Id to play bridge
with her I noticed a treatment of one
of the men by her different from what
she had shown any other. I served
some refreshments, and during the few
minutes that 1 waa In the room was
convinced of this, and noticed that the
other man of the party favored me
with a look of admiration he shonld
not have bestowed upon a servant
After the party had gone Miss Hawley
told me that this .voting man had not
hesltatrd to comment ui>on my appear
a nee rapturously.
After that the yonng man whom I
noticed my mistress treated with mark
ed attention was a frequent caller at
the house. The butler received vlsllors
at the door and delivered the cards so
that 1 did not learn his name; but one
day he called when the butler was
busy and I answered the doorbell Ue

It was Albert Pendleton Cu?blBf The
visitor was my brother
My mistress. Tbo bad heard the sal
ver rattle on the stalra, looked at me
ax I entered b*r room In surprise: 'or
the had often pommeled me for my
carefulness, giving me certain Hreaden
cups (the rained very highly to wash
after having been used. and refusing to
permit any other servant to clean them
She saw aa 1 handed her the card on
the aalver that something had occurred
to move me. but she had (he tact to
refrain from asking i-ersonal questions
about what they might reveal of their
on ii accord, and made no comment on
my agitation I wa* roncfc relieved at
this, for I required time to consider
whether or no I would Inform her th;it
she was being courted by the brother
of her maid
After much thoiicht n|??n the ?"b
Ject, alao whether I should make my
aelf known to Bert. I conkl not deter
mine to do anything In the premises
If I took any action It would I* to
make a confidante of my mistress and
not on any account reveal to Itert that
I waa his staler.
From this time I had a secret on my
mind that troubled me. or. rather. I
was distressed by the poaltton I occn
pled. I Ionised to throw my arms
around Bert's neck and rejoice that
we had come together But from thla ?
I shrank. Yet how waa I returning
my mistress" kindness to me In keep
Ing my discovery from her? The mat
ter weighed upon me dreadfully-ln
deed, so much so that I grew thin and
pale, while I frequently noticed In
looking at my reflection In a mirror
that my mental strain waa stamping
Itself on my features.
Occasionally I was obliged to meet
Bert sometimes to serve him. I had
no reason to suspect him of knowing
that I was his sister. If he ever even
looked nt me curiously he did not do
so while I was looking at him I was
glad to l>e near him. but pained that
I might not make myself known to
him. The young man who had fa
vored me with an admiring glance
came to the house occasionally and
never failed to repeat hia manifesta
tions of admiration. Itert called him
Howard, nnd 1 learned that hla name
was Howard I'nderwood. ,
One day Miss Gwendolio said to me:
?"Lucia, I have l>een thinking much
a l Mint jog lately nnd have come to a
decision concerning yon. Your birth,
supplemented by what 1 have been
al.le to do for you In education, will
not admit of your remaining longer a
servant. I have some work laid oat
for you -keeping the accounts of a
charitable i?s4>clatlnn of which I am
treasurer, the salary of which Is
a year. 1 wish you to continue to llv#
here, and that yon may feel Independ
ent I will give yon the care of my
wardrol?e."
It would be useless for me to at
tempt to describe In words my Joy at
thla announcement Sooner or later 1
would claim Bert for my brother, and
that without placing him In an emliar
rnsslng position. tjwendolln would not i
listen to thanks, saying that my post
tion as a maid had Iwn as embarrass
ing to her as It must have been to
tue. She also told me that her admirer
