MONDAY.
Borrowing a thousand dollars seemed
an appalling thing to Mrs Hooper. But
she realized the necessity of getting
money from some source in order that
they might continue to pay their living
expenses in Mayfeld during the few
weeks that they have to remain before
moving to the distant city that was to
be their future home. For the first
time in eighteen years there would be
no pay envelope containing Henrys
weekly salary of fifty dollars when Sat
urday night came round, and it was with
feeling of dismay that Mrs. Hooper
to manage without it. At first she had
protested against borrowing as much as
thousand dollars and it was only after
much argument that Henry persuaded
her that it would be the wise thing for
them to do as long as mOrtgaging the
house was necessary. Her idea was .hat
If they borrowed only five hundred dol
lars 1t would be more quickly saved to
pay back and the interest would be so
much less, but he reminded her that his
salary would not begin on his new job
until Feb. l, and that in the meantime
they would have to live and added to
that would be the expenses of getting
moved and settled In a new place. The
railroad fare alone was staggering, and
as they would have to take their house
hold goods the packing and Grating
of their furniture and the freight would
make their move run up into several hun

WINGED her and Immediately after break

TO negotiate the loan.
While he was avraV Mrs Hoonpr wont
about tie house like one in a daze. For
the sake of the children and Henry she
had tried to recover her old steadiness
and nerve in this emergency but the
thought Of leaving the home on which
she had expended practically a life time
Of devoted attention was almost more
han she could bear. She had seen it
grow under her hands from a numbering
old fashioned house with little to recon-

into a delightful artistic home. contain

sat for a long time on the comfortable
couch in the living-room trying to make
up her mind how and when she would

She wondered why such a calamity had
never suggested itself to her. As she
looked at It now Heury's losing his posi-
ton had always been within the realm
Of possibility. but because st had never

death would be. she had never made any
provision for just what had happened
But just what could she have done after
all. Living on her $50 a week income
for all these years and providing her
family with he essentials Of a good liv-
ing had left her no margin from which
to evolve an emergency fund.
