 I'm sorry" he told her, "but l haven't that much in the bank"
 But I must have it!" she insist ed.
 Dick did not embarrass her by asking questions. i've just paid an insurance premium" he explained, "Iscouid take up my policy but that is made out for your future protection"
 I'd be afraid to have you do that!"
 well" he went on, T might borrow on It."
 "Oh, Dick, please dol"

 That made the plan useless. Eve had to have the money immediate. ly. She was sorry that she had said anything to Dick about 1t. Her only remaining recourse seemed A nvnAnat fA hap har
 Eve put through long distance call to her home. It was Esther who answered and told her that their mother had fallen from 6 step ladder that morning and wrenched her back, hence she could not come to the telephone And 1t was Esther who offered 10 lend Eve the $200 she needed without telling their parents. Els ther would go to the bank in the morning and send the money by telegraph. Eve resolved to dc something handsome for her sister as soon as she was able in order to show her gratitude.
 She found Arlene looking ex. tremely unhappy when she re. turned to the office. "WhatIl do?" Arlene implored with a wan smile. T should raise s60 on "A hours notice when couldn, raiOe 1t in 24 days!"
 Cant you borrow at home? Eve suggested.

Hpt put up such good sales talk for handling m, own money a year ago that final. ly won out. Since then I've paic board at home and occasionall, make wild prophecies about my bright financial future. No, couldn't borrow without telling ms parents why and If I did that I'd never get the money!"
 II truly believe Atlas Coupler wil recover and we will be glad that we hung on, Arlene. Why don you tell your father about ttY think he'd see you through"
 My father! Oh, that's precious My father only believes what h. sees. So he goes in for houses ant iots--one at Q time. Real estat' is the thing, he says. It's real t him because he can lay his hand on 1t. He thinks the little investo has no chance at anything else an' he'd think 1t was a good lessol for me to lose what I've put Ii stocks so far" answered Arlene.
 She took her loss like n goo' sport, Eve conceded, but she coul. not shake off the feeling of gull because 1t was she who had intro duced Arlene to margining on tn stock market.
 It was great relief to Ev when Esther's money came. Sh took the $200 to the brokerage of flee and protected her stock fo the time. Eve tried to save all sh could in order to pay Esther in lump sum. She recalled the con tempt Dick had expressed for poo pie who borrow sum and pay back in dribbling amounts. "Th person who made the loan has diff ficulty getting the original amour together again and 1t is just abou a total loss to the lender who say ed 1t in the first place." he ha said.
