newly acquired idea was tightly lodged in her
Scotch head.
She had been planning TO buy pair of shoes
that afternoon but $12 was the yield on $500
So she didn't. Her mind she found. had sud-
denly become an automatic calculating machine.
reckoning everything in terms of principal and
interest. Mr.. Chase's statement that those who
would be charitable to others must first be
charitable to themselves beat constant refrain
in her mental ears
How useless it was to give Bonnie dime for
the evening paper-which she could very well
do without-when conservation on her part
might enable her at some future day to do
something really worth while for his knee And
as for the movie tickets for Miss Perry and the
cream cheese for Mr.. Dodd-what actual good
did this accomplish? It would require SO much
to bring any appreciable relief to either Of
them that the small gifts she could afford could
only mean transient pleasure.
Whereas, if these trifiing amounts were saved
and the interest them compounded as Mr.
Chase had said the day might come when she
would be able to render some adequate assist
ance to one of them at least
Thus, urged by new mental outlook, str9
made radical change in her budget. The
sums which had gone each month for attentions
to her less fortunate friends were methodically
deposited in her saving account The shiny
et were now more frequently dropped into a
small, nickel-plated bank which she kept on
the mantelpiece at home. Into this she also
put the quarters which had made such a pleas
ing little tinkle when they sounded against the
sides of the blind womans battered cur
And though the puzzled look in Bennies
brown eyes discounted her and she chose the
other side of the street to escape the quick de-
lection Of Mrs. Higgins oversensitive ears, she
had come to see these two in different light.
IF their people had done. as I'm doing there
would be no Bonnie selling newspapers and no
Mrs. Higgins begging on the street corners"
she reminded herself. But the Juggling OF her
heart argued against the reasoning of her head
Nor were these the only economies which she
made.
AS she watched the figures in her bank book
grow, saving took on the fascination of game,
which she played with all the zeal of defender
of championship There were, she found in
Vulnerable ways of pairing down expenses.
Her business taileurs, for instance. Formerly
she had sent them to young Russian, who
was studying violin at night, but now she rose
hour earlier in order to sponge and press
them herself Likewise she did her own mend
ing where once it had been her friendly, easy
going habit to save this work for Miss Emily,
q shy and lonely old gentlewoman who was
secretly grateful for the bi-monthly dollar and
q half which enabled her to make her proud
contribution to the mission school in China.

As for Tad, less frequently now did she In
dulge her custom of having him out for tho
suppers Of chicken which they barbecued to-
gether over the woodpit he had built in tho
back yard. 1t was, she told him. as needless
an expense on her part were the talkies and
out-of-town excursions Of his.
You're too generous, Tad" she demonstrated
one evening when he mentioned having lent
$50 to a friend TITS all right for you to do
such things when you get your feet but you
ought to wait until you have q safe income"
He looked at her oddly
I'm not about that. Perhaps he
wouldn't need it by the time have q safe in

She laughed .s~.s,

Since you got that blamed $4,000 you've de-
veloped into a regular Hetty Green. Darned

what you've got-to finish his oil we'll But no
one will advance it," he explained.
Afterwards, in tracing back to the springs of
her madness. Jean realized that it was these
words. SO carelessly uttered by Tad which had
planted the seed in her mind
These words-and the fact that five miles
north of the acreage owned by Haines a Wild
cat oil drilling company had brought in a
gIsher. Up to this time she had rather en-
joyed her regime of economies. But since this
new territory had been opened and all one
heard was talk of the quick fortunes to be
made in oil, her own attempts to amass CON-
potency seemed to her too slow, too ploddng
With the look of tense preoccupaton which
In these days, her face so frequently assumed:
Yes it certainly must be splendid to own
an oil WELL" she remarked to Tad one night
Once when she had expressed a similar
thought Tad had smiled at her indulgently
But now he shot her glance of swift, troubled
penetration AS if making a cool appraisal of
stranger:
Just what would you do if you had one?"
he said.
Her look was rapt Inward.
"Oh, don't know. Lots of things I'd have
jewels, OF course, and clothes and fine car
I want to travel too. I'd like for us to see
every inch of this little old planet And I'd
buy country place and fill it with antiques
and gorgeous rugs and. those rare old English
prints you like so much' she told him.
With sniothered ejaculation, he sprang to
his feet
"Oh, leave me out of it! I haven't the
