lost her purse, she said and wouldn't /
give her money enough to get home. 1t
would have been heartless not to have
done il, and I stopped, unbuttoned my coat
and took out 10 cents for her. She held
out her hand for me to drop it into it,
and as she opened it / saw that il was

the man went on, than the experience
of a banker doing business in the same

building one day man stopped him and
asked for help.

Yes said the man, taking the ten he
handed him, how much shall l take out?'

a brooch of the finest brilliants 1t was
a DAINTY affair, the base of the ornament
being like an elongated leaf studded at in

arose what appeared TO be two wings set
with Jewels. But on closer inspection these
proved to be delicate sprays of lilies of the

sparkling dew. The came day she ordered
an elegant corsage ornament to be made
