eagerly toward her mother oh mother oh dad im so glad to be home d we are to have you it seemed a long summer replied mrs marfrham checks please demanded tom bill and i will set the trunk and put it on the running board elinor suddenly looked perfectly natur al to everybody and a general laugh bubbled out her face wore a familiar blank look which was easily recognized as that of a rihmrilc

lifted bands one more hazard safely negotiated announced tom in recently acquired golf parlance probably though the check is au thats left in it guess again dear laughed elinor airily as she passed

prairies through the hot days and nights of late august she sat in the day coach except for tire very last after noon all the way home she ate frugal meals hastily purchased at lunch- counters never once in the diner all the way home she never bought a thing from a train boy except a paper or two they looked as if they thought her a very cheap person very inconsequential she who had never earned money before earned from herself quite honestly the sixteen onedollar bills which were the exact sum that the ticket she found and threw away had cost the fortunate person who lost it the amount of the refunds had been mentioned in accounts concerning the accident no wonder she was tired after she had unpacked and distributed her gifts and been thanked and praised for her thoughtful selec tions
