\ THE PIECE THAT WAS LOST. |
It was a midsummer morning. The
grasß was waiting for the scythe, but
after breakfast Silas Rogers took down
the old bible that had been bis moth
er’s dally companion for over eighty
years, and they sat reverently down
to worship. The reading was that ten
der lesson of the wandering sheep, and
the lost piece of silver, and ended with
the heavenly rejoicing “over the sin
ner that repenteth," and after the earn
est, though homely prayer, they were
ready for work. Abner, the hired man.
and Reuben, the boy, as they started
out of the house, almost stumbled over
a woman sitting in the doorway, ab
sorbed in though:. Silas looked at hpr.
but did not stay to question her. And
when they were gone, 3he rose
abruptly and said, "Will you give me
some breakfast?"
Mrs. Rogers looked at her. She was
a tall and not uncomely woman of
about thirty, but with something in
definably evil about her face. The hard
mouth, the bold, defiant eyes, repelled
her, yet it seemed as if at any instant
they might break into scornful tears.
"Who are you?” asked the good wife
coming nearer, with a pan of bread
in her hand. Again the face darkened
and lightened, grew hard and yield
ing, with the sudden declaration, “I
am the piece that was lost.’’
Martha Rogers had not a particle of
poetry in her nature, but she had the
most profound reverence for the Scrip
ture, therefore the words both puzzled
and shocked her. But she was not the
woman to refuse bread to the hungry;
so she placed food upon the table, and
motioned the woman to a chair, say
ing. "Set up and eat.”
All the time that the woman was eat
ing—and she did not hasten —her eyes
followed the mistress and Hetty, the
bright young daughter, until Martha
Rogers grew nervous and sent Hetty
to "red up the chambers.’’
"Will you give me work to do?" she
demanded rather than asked.
"Who are you?” asked Mrs. Rogers
again, simply to gain time.
"I thought you knew. lam Moll
Pritchard; they have turned me out of
my house, burned it over my head,”
and her eyes grew lurid.
"What can you do?” asked Mrs.
Rogers.
“Anything that a woman can do, or
a man. I can work in the field with
the best of fliem; I have done it many
a time; but I should like to do what —
to be like other women.”
"Are you a good woman?"
The question came straight and
strong, without any faltering. She had
heard of this Moll Pritchard, a woman
who lived alone In a tumble down hut
below the sawmill, and won a meager
living by weaving rag carpets, picking
berries for sale, and, it was suspected
in less reputable ways; but Martha Ro
gers took no stock in idle rumors. If
she had not the divine compassion, she
had something like divine justice,
which is altogether a sweeter thing in
its remembering of our frame “than
the tender mercies of the wicked.”
The woman lookedat her curiously—
at first with a mocking smile, then
with a sullen, and at last with a defiant
expression.
IAA
”1 AM THE PIECE THAT WAS
LOST.”
“Is it likely?” she said fiercely. “A
good woman! How should I be a good
woman? I tell you, I’m the piece that
was lost, and nobody ever looked for
me. If I was a good woman, do you
•uppose 1 should be where 1 be —only
28 yean* old, well and hearty, and
every door In the world shut In my
face? I tell you the man who wrote
that story didn’t know women; they
don't hunt for the piece that’s lost,
they Just let it go. There’s enough of
them and don’t get lost.”
Poor Martha Rogers was sorely per
plexed, all the more that her way had
lain so smooth and plain before her
that she might have walked into it
blindly. If she was a lost piece of
silver, it \vas not she who lost It; but
what if it were the Master's, precious
to his heart, and a careless hand
dropped it and left it to lie In the dust?
And w hat if he bade her to seek it, and
find It for him? Should she dare re
fuse? On this very day, when she
seeded so surely the help which she had
so looked for in vain, had not this
woman been sent to her very door,
and was it not a plain leading of Prov
idence? It ts a bleaaed thing for us
that we are usually driven to act first
pnd theorize afterward, even though
Ihe after-thought sometimes brings re
pentance. The bread was ready for
the oven and the woodbox empty.
"You may fetch iu some wood,” said
Martha Rogers, and the woman
promptly obeyed, filling the box with
one load of her sinewy arms, and then
stood humbly waitiug. Hetty came iu
to the kitchen and began to clear the
table, but her mother said, "Go upstairs
and fetch a big apron and one of our
sewing caps, and see if you can finish
up your dress.”
Away went Hetty, her light hoar!
bounding with (he unexpected release;
and the mother turned again to tho
woman, furnished her with a coarse
towel, and sent her to the wash house
for a thorough purification. Half an
hour afterward, with her hair hidden
in the muslin cap, her whole figure en
veloped in the calico apron, a comedy
woman was silently engaged in house
hold tasks, doing her work with such
rapidity and Bklll that the housewife
drew a sigh of relief.
"There’s a handful of towels and
coarse clothes left from the ironing;
you might put the irons on, Mary, and
smooth ’em out.”
The woman turned a startled face
upon her, and then went quickly for
the clothes; but something was it a
tear? —rolled down her swarthy cheeks,
mingling with (he bright drops she
sprinkled over them. When had she
ever hoard anything but Moll? Not
since among New Hampshire hills a
pale woman had lain her hands upon
the tangled curls of her little daugh
ter and prayed that some one would
watch over these wayward feet, lest
they should go astray. It made Moll
shudder to think of it. What did she
know about joy in heaven over one
sinner and repenteth?
* * * *
Silas Rogers listened t© the day’s
story as he sat mending a bit of har
ness with clumsy fingers, and among
his other thoughts he grasped the idea
that his wife had secured a valuable
aud much-needed helper.
"It seems a risk to run.” said Mar
tha, anxiously, "and I don’t know but
it's presumtuoue; there’s Hetty and
there's Reuben ”
“And there’s the Lord," said Silas,
stopping to open his knife.
"Yes,” said Martha, with a little
start, "and I quite can’t get rid of
what she said about the 'piece that was
lost,’ though, to be sure, the woman
that lost it ought to hunt it.”
“She never does; folks are always
losing things for somebody else to
find; ’taint many of them can say,
‘Those that thou hast given me I have
kept,’ right straight along.”
"But if you lose your own piece look
ing after other folk's "
“Well, there’s the.rinks, as you say,
but I’d rather take a risk for the
l-<or<i than agin him."
Martha Rogers took the risk for the
Lord, and he abundantly justified and
rewarded her faith. For the piece that
was lost becomes “my piece" to the
heart that finds it again in the Mas
ter’s hand; and locking the story of
the wanderer in her own breast, it was
oni.v to the angels that she said, "Re
joice wih me."
And when years afterward the wom
an herself said before the committee
of the church, "I am the woman over
whom there is a great joy in heaven,”
there was not wantiug those who
thought she was presumptuously claim
ing to be a saint.—Emily Huntington
Miller.
A flood Advertising Medium.
A glance in an Atlanta book store
yesterday made this striking truth
stand forth:
Death is sometimes a big advertise
ment.
In no department of human effort do
men put forth such terrific energy as
in their attempts to catch the public
eye. Men rack their brain for ingeni
ous schemes to attract public attention.
The good advertiser is the rarest and
richest of successes.
But some times ail the cleverness
and ingenuity of these brain workers
are beaten —and unexpectedly.
Du Manrier’s death last week was
an advertisement for Harper Bros,
which no idea they might dig out of
their brains could excel. It has started
a great rush after last month’s Har
per’s, which contained the first install
ment of "The Martian,’’ Du Manner's
new story, and a third edition of the
number is now being fast exhausted.
Those who cannot find the magazine
are investing in "Peter Ibbeteon,” and
if there happen to be any who have not
read "Trilby” they invest in that. The
book dealers will tell you that In the
past four days there lias been a won
derful demand for Du Maurier’s works.
This great author who has added
thousands to the cofTers of the Har
pers by his life, is adding thousands
to their profits by the mere fact of his
death. —Atlanta Constitution.
The Spirit of Modern Athena.
Modern Athens, which recalls in ao
many ways the Athens of ancient days,
has inherited from her the privilege of
being beautiful and enriched by her
children. The public treasury was not
always very well filled in those times
any more than in the present, but
wealthy citizens who had nlade for
tunes at a distance liked to crown their
commercial career by some act of lib
erality to the mother country. They
endowed the land with superb edifices
of general utility—theaters, gymna
sia, temples. The modern city is like
wise full of monuments which she owes
to such generosity. It was easy to ob
tain from private individuals w'hat the
state could not give. The Olympic
games had burned with so bright a lus
ter in the past of the Greeks that they
could not but have their revival at
heart. —"The Olympic Games of 1896.”
