and her mother was dependent on
her for support. She told no one
of this, however, and as she al

that she had private means. She
kept her privations secret until
one day she broke down from
hunger and cold: then her mother
wrote the facts to the society lead
ers and they began paying Miss
Willard "A salary. This spirit of
courage and devotion to her work
made her a suitable person to
