Into her lap he dropped a package

he said, lamely evading any further
explanations, and bowed himself out
of the room.
Many time after that she marveled
that she had accepted the money
without learning more Of the giver
and the avowed debt, and then one
evening month later she had taken
little Ida to a vaudeville entertain.
ment to make a startling discovery
One act was the star presentation
of the program, and its exponent of
fun was the mirth Of the occasion. A
clown wore a clowns FOOLS cap. In
the midst of his act Mrs. Roberts sud
denly recognized the man who had
brought her the thousand dollars, and
as well her early schoolmate, Neal
Morse.
Like a flash of lightning the past
came back to her. With concurrent
suddenness the thought flashed
through her mind that the story of
the debt was in part a fiction. It was
possible that this man cherished her
words and kindness through all the
years.
She knew this to verify the next
day, for she made sure that a note
got to him. In confusion and con
fession the story of his fidelity came
out.
Her heart opened to the man who
had accepted fate uncomplainingly.
whose crushed spirit had been driven
to seek a singular employment.
Neal Morse read her soul Alright.
When he left her his heart was aglow
with new hope and new plans. He
would win her and happiness, he re.
solved. He had some means. For
Juttie's sake he would seek new en-
ployment.
So he resigned from the stage, and
that night burned the FOOLS cap that
had been his badge of servitude-and
10! in its place Juttie fancied she saw
substituted the halo of the love and
goodness and fidelity of a true man.
