did not have the courage. There was

But, dear, she is perfectly honest.

twenty-five dollars will help will
be very glad to let you have that"
HELEN is DUBIOUS.
Helen got her check book and made
out the check, which Mrs. Thurston
took with ELUSIVE assurances that
she would return it very soon.
When she had gone, Helen stood
staring out Of the window with con-
ftcting emotions. She thought of the
twenty-five she had lent Edith lyman
over a year ago, and the ten she had
given that woman who had sewed for
her-that, too, had never been return
ed OF course, Mrs. Thurston was
different. Yet since she was so care
less about money matters-she might
be careless about paying her debts.
Helen was most eXacting about any
thing pertaining to money. She had
never borrowed a cent in her life and
did not want to lend.
What RIGHT had Mrs. Thurston to
come to her? She had resented the
way she had called her up, without
giving a clew to what she wanted.
Then came the ranking thought of
