 One Thing
 There was only one thing to do, l told hcr was sure I could get a job in New York if could only roach the city. She gave me the money.
 But suppose I should turn out badly and never return your money" l said 10 her just before I boarded the train.
 She smiled, and I continued. "lt would be an awful blow 10 your faith in humanity and besides, you would lose the money"
 "No," she said T would not lose the money" l wondered what she meant.
 You see" she explained, "J give lo per cont of all l earn either to the church or 10 charity or to help somebody. So if you do not send this back, l will consider 1t part of the f0 per cent.
 And, as for my faith in human nature, it is not so easily corrupted" Al that moment the train steamed in, l boarded it and we were off, while sara stood on the platform and smiled her illumined smile after mo.
 To this day, she does moi know who l am, though she writes to me as Elizabeth Sprague.
 Only yesterday I received one of her bright. breezy letters, and I think that l shall answer it soon, oyor my real name.
