voice. that any one should expect
there would be. And Helen hurried
on. Where could she have lost It?
she asked herself for the twentieth
time. Did she drop il out OF her purse
when she was paying for some pur-
chaser or could she have given It
out as one dollar bill?
At length she started to leave the
store. She might as well 20 home;
she had no heart to shop any more
Eow-and no money. Her mind was
ful OF all she could have bought with
the ten dollars. As she made her way
out OF the shop every attractive article
she saw now stood In her mind as
something she might have had-if she
had not lost this money.
Couldn't Ask for More.
Helen was not mercenary as all this
might imply. But above everything
she dreaded 10 ask Warren for money.
IL was a humiliation from which she
had always shrunk. Each month he
gave her a certain amount for the
house and for herself. And she always
managed most carefully TO keep within
this amount prefering 20 do without
many things rather than ask him for
more.
And now. she was short part of the
money he had given her for the fam

could do TO manage before and-oh. II

sentiment possessed her.

knew this loss would be constantly on

She remembered having heard some
one say that when one lost a dollar
they usually spent ten dollars worth
of time in worrying about il. That IL
was not the actual loss that counted
so much, but all that was thrown in
after" in worry. And Helen realized
that this was what she was doing
now and would dO-and that she
could not help il.
