CHAPTER XVIII
Cap and Gown

The fifteen dollars, after all. were
disposed of in highly satisfactory
manner. They paid for Lydia's cap
and gown. Perhaps there were other
members Of the class TO whom their
senior insignia meant as much as they
did TO Lydia, but that is to be doubted.
In a way, Lydia's conscience smote
her She knew that her father was
worrying over her attitude on her in
heritance, but she continued TO avoid
the issue with him while the estate
was being settled. Lydia was doing
heavy work in college. She actually
had entered all the classes in dairying
possible, while carrying her other col
lege work And she enjoyed the new
work amazingly.
Early in December, the settlement
Of the Levine estate was completed.
Johns method of '-shoestringing' his
property was disastrous as far as the
size OF Lydia's heritage went. As
nearly as she could understand. one
portion of the estate was used TO paw
up the Indebtedness of another por-

cottage. with mortgage on ii, and

Every effort is being made to in

Mrs. Forbush told her husband that
when she slipped from the theater
she. had retained $50, giving him an
empty pocketbook. Rev. Mr.. Forbush
said that her obsession was charac-

"unworthiness." and that it may be

Mrs. Forbush told her husband that
she took a taXicab from the theater
and went to the Union Station buy
ing a ticket for White River Junction,
getting off at Claremont, y. H., for
fear of being recognized.
Claremont is but 40 miles from
"a III.

mer cottage. Mrs. Forbush related
the story of her wanderings through
the woods in the Green Mountain re-
gion near Claremont. She stayed in
one patch of woods for three days,
when she met hunter who told her
that she was in danger of being hit
by stray bullets.
This huntsman. Richard Jones,
learned of her disappearance upon his
return to the village and gave the
first report. that finally induced the
Rev. Mr.. ForbuSh to leave Washing

Canaan. On October 81 Mrs. ForbuSh
walked down the road and was given
lift by a farmer, who took her to
Claremont, where she bought an ice
pick, a cup and n knife. She also
purchased Il pair of woolen hose and
put them on in the store.
1t was this clue transmitted a few
days later to Mr.. Forbush, which
made him hopeful that his wife was
actually in the vicinity. but no one
could explain the purchase of the ice
pick until she told Yesterday how she
used it to break the ice which had
formed over a pool, from which she
was accustomed to drink.

said that she then went to the rude
