Next morning that promise which
had been Kathy's hope was not full
filed AS the girls left the breakfast
room Jennie slipped d small paper into
her hand.

Kathy saw little Of Jennie that day.

their classes the girls were forbidden

Kathy hurried away In modification
too deep even for tears. She entered
the classroom with tagging steps, and
received an UNDECIDED reprimand for
her hardness, As she seated herself
she caught sight OF Jennie Randalls
face, as pretty and rosy is ever, smil-
ing pointedlY in her. direction. The
ghost Of a nod accompanied the smile;

note:

Take the coin to Miss Hanee and pre-
sent it to the school She need never
know where you got it, and she can
put il in thcscabinet herself"
All the weight which had rested on
Kathy's heart through the morning
seemed to roll away as she read.
Without an instant's hesitation she
asked and obtained permission to speak
to Miss Hance. In a short time the
hated coin lay upon that lady's desk
under her near-sighted eyes.
sYhy, thank YOU, Kathyg'' she said,
warmly. II am always delighted to
receive contributions for the museum.
