Il was a warm day In April and
DID Bolts was sitting Just in front of
his shop door when along came a
dainty figure OF q girl with a large
square package.
I have some books 70 sell. she
said.
The fact that she was shabby and
that the dark blue suit she wore was
almost as faded a. his own served ar
tie Of sympathy.
So IT was that he bought the books
without looking at them more than
supericially. and paid her what with
him was maximum price-25 cents .

She was MisT Pansy Mead and her
address was the NTH floor back in a
lodging house in a little side street
near BY.
Then, when Pansy had gone. he
looked at the. books for which he
had paid s375-a sum which the
timid Pansy had seized with ayidity.
The secondhand man knew that look
Of eagerness, for often the wares he
bought we're sold for the price Of a
meal or a nights shelter.
The books seemed to be fairly new.
For this reason he determined to put
them in one Of the shelves In place
Of some OF the less attractive volumes
that were then occupying the place
of honor.
But when he looked closer at the
books he was more than amazed.
ssme Of the volumes In the set were
missing.
He waited for few days. thinking
that perhaps the original owner would
return with the missing volumes, but
be waited in vain. Then, one day, he
climbed up to the little bare room at
the address she had given. He found
the girl surrounded by piles OF half
sewed white garments.
He explained TO her what he sup

girl seemed not In the least surprised
