Il am very sorry, but We cannot

proved good, and a moment later her

took 1t absently. Her mind was still
busy with that quarter.

girl was new one. She accepted Mrs.

the store.
Five minutes later Miss Earle hap
pened to go to the cash drawer, and
her fingers touched the spurious coin;
she drew it out at once.
See, Lucy, this is counterfeit"
she said, and she showed the girl
how it differed in weight and feel
and ring from a genuine coin.
You won't make such a mistake
again, I'm sure" she went on. I'm
sorry, but l shall have to take this
from your pay tonight. l can't afford
to lose it; my profits are too small"
The girls face darkened. She made
no protest, for she knew the meager
