When ilrecoyersd from my faint l was sitting ‘on Mrs. Lynch's steps. I felt dazed for a moment, then recalled I had been right in front of ihe house when I fainted. My bundles were lying on the step beside m_e, but my pocket hook, containing every penny I had in the world, was gone. Faint and rlizzy as I still was, I searched frantically for it. even going back' some distance along tho way I had come, but, finding no trace of it.‘

Sick at heartflfaint lmd- weak in body. I climbed‘ the three long flights of stairs to my mean little room, and throwing myself upon the bed gave way to my discour-

Mary came in about half past six and found mo there. "

"Zena, what_is ill What has

happened? Your-mother ——'.'" "No, Mary-Amusing, quite so awful as lllillflblll had enough." I controlled myself with an effort and told my story. She‘ was all sympathy nnd indignation. "As If If ain't had enough to teal anyway. but a man or a wo- fliflfl who will steal a-pooiigirks pocket hook is a skunk!" she vo h ently declared. “I'd give a good deal to know who it was. I'd make them sorry, I bet." "Never mind, Mary. It is gone and gcfilug angry and crying won't bring it back." I struggled m my feel, but she at once push- ed me buck upon the bed. "You siny right there where you are till I get this supper. I won't will get t. little nap." I did as I was bid, and closed my eyes. Bu! not to sleep. Life /wasn'l all sadness, I thought, when one had so wonderful a friend as Mary. I must be brave and not al- low discouragement to take hold of me. Then, as I lay quietly resting. thoughts cl’ Kenneth Lawrence came to me, as they invariably did when under stress of any kind. What would he say, what would he lhink, if he knew of my plight?

But l knew while I allo'wed' these thoughts Io run througlrmy‘ mind that it wos not so; that‘ Kenneth bud not cared for me because of his belief that dad _was a rich man.

"Now you'll Iluvc in borrow." she re~ marked as we sat down to out. "No, Mary. I shall pawn my ring." Then. "Don't look so flu-l- flppontell! I shall not perhaps find work for days. I shall need money 10 My carfare, for food and, un- less I get work by next Saturday, for my room rent. It will be more ‘ban I could borrow from you, Mary. i know how pleased you are in be able to send more to your mother, and I may as well pawn this first as last." - The ring was one I had had sin e my seventeenth" blrihday— a cl s.- ler ring of pearls and diamonds, none of them large, hurl knew it was a good ring as-Mothermnever bought anything me the best.
