II thought likely you wouldn't want 10.
Poor Sallic! And I'll never see her again.
Mrs. Wilkes turned away with u hopeless
air. and went slowly back to her room.
Mrs. Pell hastily prepared to go 10 the
florists to select and order her lowers.
She felt very sorry for Mrs. Wilkes, but
of course she could not lend her that
money. If she had saved 1t for any other
purpose but that, She had tried for so
many years to be able to cover those
graves with roses. and now when she had
the money-to give it all up.
She hoped Mrs. Wilkes did not think
her mean. She would have been glad 10
do anything else for her.
And it was a pity that she could not
see her sister before she died. She was
the only relative she had. too.
II 1t had only not been that money, And
II it were not Decoration day! She wanted
TO put flowers on their graves at the time
that other people were remembering their
dead.
Mrs, Pell's steps became slower and
slower and slower. and as She came in

and remained in deep thought for some
minutes. Then she turned suddenly and

Mrs. Pell did not sleep well that night.
Ii hurt her to think of those two graves
being fio"crless another Decoration day.
Ihey were in such a remote part of the
cemetery that they never shared in the
general decoration of graves. She decided
that she would not go to the cemetery at
all. She could not bear to think of seeing
others carrying their flowers while her
hands must be empty.
But in the morning she changed her
mind. 1t seemed unkinu To leave her
graves unvisited. She would go in the aft
ernoon when the services We're over and
the cemetery would be comparatively de-
serted. 1t was such a lovely day. The
ride in the cars would do her good.
