Sometimes the raindrops shin

sorrowful for the day; but when 1t

q paper and hurry away.
Betty. like the average girl who
works in the city. was warm
hearted and impulsIve. To her.
the idea of an old woman working
for a living by selling papers was
terrible, Betty thought of her own
good position. and involuntarily
compared her comfortable salary
with what the old woman made.
How horrible. the girl reflected.

to work in order to keep alive
And yet there must be plenty Of
people who were forced to do Il;
and although Il wrung her heart,

came to business the same way
and always stopped to get a paper.
Once Helen caught an early train
and journeyed down town with her,
and they stopped together TO buy a
paper. It happened to be a rainy
