pairing trousseau, but no such thought occupied
Emmys mind Somewhere, in the recesses of her
brain there had arisen an intuition that before long
she would be leaving the town of Gainesville.
On the sixteenth of the month gentleman called
to see her, about three in the afternoon Mrs
Moran all a-futter- was such distinguished
looking person-what could he want with her girl?-
was it any one she had ever met? Emmy went
down to see, equally mystifed
The gentleman was collector from Borden &
Co., and he informed her, with excessive politeness,
that the firm would like check in settlement of
her account He felt sure that she must have over
looked the small amount, and apoogized for bringing
it to her attention. Would it suit her pleasure to
give the check to him. or to mail it to the office?
Emmy gasped. 'I-Tm afraid | won't be able
to pay it-this month"
The collectors manner, in spite of his suavity,
was distinctly business-like.
"Then perhaps you would prefer to make a partial
payment today and leave the balance until later.
Say fifty on account?" He paused, fountain-pen
in air, waiting expectantly.
"Im afraid | can't make any payment at all
this month";" she replied, her face crimson with
modification.
The took out notebook and glanced at
of its pages. "This is your first account with the
firm, is it not, Miss Moran" he inquired.

though toward some distant future, and rose. "Im
glad [ don't have to worry-yet."
Emmy, can't imagine where yougot all these aw-

The girl put her arms about her mothers neck
and kissed her. "No mother, guess they just
come naturally You see, I think about things
good DEAL Some day, when l have lots
of money, I'm going to get you some pretty
clothes, too" She patted her mothers withered
cheek softly. "You used to be mighty good
looking once You might be now if you had
half chance"
Mrs. Moran bridled and colored selfconsciously.
Her good looks had not troubled her greatly for
nearly twenty years, but Emmys words touched
a responsive chord.

say was the prettiest girl in Gainesville" She
pushed back her hair, Strengthened her bent shout
hers and nervousy adjusted the imitation lace chu
at her neck
Emmy laughed mischievously, but when her
mother asked her what she was laughing at she
refused to say. "Women are pretty much alike
the world over, guess" was all Mrs. Moran could
get out of her.
That night Emmy fshed out of her bureau drawer
an old diary and began to write in it. She felt the
