the money.
Shortly afterwards the housewife
discovered that the bill was missing
and her suspicious were directed upon
the butchers boy. His employer was
notified and the bill was returned.
But this does not tell all of the
story Ten minutes after he had
taken the money, the lad was stricken
with a guilty conscience. He re-entered
the home. ostensibly to ask if the
meat delivered was what was wanted,
in reality to secretly replace the
money. A neighbor woman was in
the kitchen with the housewife and
the opportunity to return the bill was
not offered. When, with tears in his
eyes. he returned the bill to the house
wife and told Of the influence brought
to bear upon him by how easy the
