Mrs. Esther Freeman h a d a

Mrs. Freeman accepted what seem

The final stop before her depart

the Post Office where she drew
out six hundred dollars to add to
the money she already had in her
possession.
By this time the old lady wa
weary. Her knee panied her badly
and she was more and more CRATE
full for the company of her friend.
They arrived at the bus depot
and both sank into the seats in the
waiting room, glad the long walk
was over. Mrs. Freeman placed
the white envelope, now containing
nine hundred dollars carefully in
the brown paper bag of lunch she
had brought to eat on the trip.
Mrs. Freeman is a little hazy as
