THE EVENING STORY.
MONEY A GOLDEN KEY.
Copyright, 1916. by W. werner.)

Monica Law sat looking across the
breakfast table at that portion of her
husband visible from behind the morn
and the color shot into her delicate
cheeks. "Elihu-dear," she began.
He glanced at her over the paper.
Elihu Law was a big, heavy looking
man, with a straight mouth, small.
stern eyes and reddish hair. Monica
sometimes thought that her chief rea-
son for marrying him was that she
had been afraid to say mo- to him.
After eleven years of married life she
was still afraid to ask him such ques-
ton as she now felt to be necessary.
WELL" he returned.
"Elihu, elizabeth must have a
pair of school shoes today. l should
like little money, please.
Elihu glanced at his small daughter,
who was staring at him with frankly
wondering eyes. ut isn't a month
since she had pair he said.
Monica sighed. ITS three months.

Monica rose, too. She bit her lips
Aren't you going to leave me the
money, Elihu? I'd like to go down town
this morning.
His response was the closing of the
door.
Monica sank back in her chair and
covered her face with her hands.
Elizabeth came and leaned against
her. Cant / have my shoes, man.

Monica drew the child close. After
while. dear. But you must be pa

But, mamma, Lois Walsh says he's

tested Elizabeth. "And her father"
Never mind. dear. Run and get

down to think things over. 1t was

Two hours later she was on her way
downtown. Her heart was lighter than

Through that day a plan formulated
itself in her mind. She would not tell
her husband of her good fortune. She
would let him find it out for himself
by asking.
He was, in fact, rather long in find

suspiciously at the new dress she was
wearing. Are you having things

She had been one .. a large family.

She was absolutely dependent upon her

forget this fact for a moment. She
