In the year of our Lord nineteen eight, one who could wear a white vest and mix cold or hot exhilarating things and keep the customers smiling into the big mirror earned forty or fifty dollars a week for some fifteen minutes of strenuous exercise within a roped arena, twenty by twenty, a cer- tain husky athlete is reputed to have received fifty thousand dollars; men who could handle iron while it was hot were earning twenty dollars day. During this prosperous era the efforts of Rev. Horace Chitwood, whose 'let not your heart be troubled" struck soothingly the deepest notes of mortal woe, and whose what God has joined" set vibrating the most sublime chords of human joy, were appraised by sO- ciety at six hundred dollars year. and he got that much-some years.
 So when Reverend Chitwood died he left mortgage on the little home in Jersey town, twenty-eight dollars in back salary, determined widow and Little Chit
 
 ''It is the only thing I can do we'll and I had rather it would be here than elsewhere"
 Indeed Mrs. Chitwood. I have never forgotten those pies and that cake you made for the church supper and I re- member my promise perfectly" It was the steward who spoke. He had once been a member of Reverend Chit woods congregation. So Mary Chit wood became pastry cook at a big beach front hotel. and because school was out and because Mary Chitwood wanted him near. Little Chit became bellboy extraordinary out in front.
 Whats all the excitement. sonny" old Colonel Job. the hotels most con sistent grouch, paused, slipped a hand full of "coppers' into the lads snug coat pocket and patted Little Chit on the head.
 "Oh, haven't you heard. colonel? The Money Princess is coming today"
 ''Huh-thatr child in Chicago that there has been Sd much in the papers about?" :r:Gr
 .Yes, sir, the real Money Princess and she is coming to our hotel today
 ''TeH us about 1t, dear" prim old Miss Harvey, who spent the year
  ously wanted to adopt ''her pink-faced cherub," drew Little Chit near to her chair.
 You see she'is the richest little girl in the whole world But she hasn't any mother or father. or even aunts or cousins" explained Little Chit quite seriously. "But she is coming on private train with lot of people who look after her and they have fixed up almost a whole third floor for thenl."
 
 The honking of automobile horns, the chatter of bags upon the marble floor. the forward rush of bellbOys and pOrters; they arrived. The Money Princess herself was almost lost in the hubbub. Came her governess, came her nurse, came her music teacher. came her maid, came her housekeeper, came her eminent Dr. Louise Craig Lackland, the child hygienist, came others and the servants of others.
 Little Chit picked up a small black bag. trimmed in gold. He touched his cap and smiled. The Money Princess smiled back.
 When they reached their floor there came the hubbub of inspecting rooms. Dr. Louise Craig-Lackland knew that the scientific principles of ventilation had been violated. She got out an in- strument with a fan wheel and a dial. And of all things The music teachers room was done in salmon and laven- der, the housekeeper had ordered roses there were sweet peas in all the vases. the rooms faced the east, the sun would annOy-to be sure the ocean was inconveniently in that too-could they make their apartments do?
 Again Little Chit touched his cap and smiled at the small girl standing in the midst of all this commotion and looking very sweet and very lonely and very much like any other little girl of twelve might look who had long yellow curls and red lips and pink cheeks and blue eyes.
 Again the Money Princess smiled back and opened a little gold mesh purse that hung from her graceful young arm.
 Not from you, princess"
 The Money Princess closed the bag. You know" said she, "I like you, lit tie boy, very much"
 And like you, too. princess"
 It was week later and Little Chit had just delivered ice water. Quite suddenly but softly the door opened and the Money Princess slipped into
