She had recognized her mother’s hand- writing. Something slipped from her fin- gers and dropped to the floor as she opened the envelope. A nar- row, folded strip of pale blue paper. Cherry picked it up, un- folded it. She read: “Pay to the order of Cash—§500.” A check from the First National Bank for $500! ‘Oh, what would Dan say? Five hundred dollars would pay all their bills and leave a balance with which to start a savings account. It would buy the new suit Dan really needed. Five hundred dollars—why it was a for- tune! Cherry turned to the letter. “My dear Cherry,” her mother had written, “It has been a long time since I’ve beard from you and I have been so worried, Sarah is badly crippled with neuritis ahd unable to leave the house. I have no means of reaching you except to Send this note because of promises I made your father. He is bitter— refuses to have your name men- tioned—and the situation is very hard. ‘I can not endure the thought that you may be in want, perhaps actually suffering. The enclosed check is to buy anything at all that you may need. Consider it a wed- ding present if you wish—although T certainly never thought my daugh- ter would be married without either of her parents present and by a justice of the peace! Cherry, darling, the last month has been a terrific strain on me. I can only wait and pray that some time this terrible trouble may be lifted. If only I could know you are well and not in need. Day and night I think about you. May God keep you!— Your Loving Mother.” Thoughtfully Cherry studied the check. Five hundred dollars seemed @ lot of money now. Two months before it would have been only the price of a few dresses, How had het mother managed to send such @ sum? Cherry knew her father scrutinized household accounts, paid all the bills. It must have required scheming and Mrs. Dixon ‘was not the sort to scheme, that Dan doesn’t make enough to take care of you. You can’t accept this money and admit your mar- riage isn’t a success!” cee HERRY sank to the davenport. There were all the things which jthat money could do for her and Dan. It could hardly have come at @ more opportune time—the rent to be paid, Dan’s new suit, the money he had borrowed. “Take it!” a second voice, equal- ly far away, scemed to argue. “Ac- cept it as a wedding present. You wouldn't even have to tell Dan—!” Ah! There it was! She had known all along what was holding her back from accepting the money. She had known Dan would never agree to take money from her par- ents. Dan was proud and bitter still over things her father had said on the only occasion when the two had met. This $500 was real- ily her father's money though it was her mother who sent it. “You can't do it,” the first voice argued. “It's your loyalty to Dan. that’s at stake. You can’t do the one thing you know he wouldn't want you to. Well, there was no use sitting! there staring at the check. The| breakfast dishes were to be washed | and the laundry sent. Cherry had @ full day’s work ahead. She got to her feet folded the check and slipped it back into the envelope. Then she placed it in the top draw- er of the big chest. She would de’ cide what to do later. The dishes were waiting, stacked on the shelf that served as a kitch- en table. Cherry drew a pan of steaming, sudsy water and began to ply the dish mop. i After the dishes were washed and put away she began energetical- ly to clean the living room. She worked as though getting that room clean were the one important thing in the world. She finished with the living room, She collected the laundry and put it out for the driver. Just before 1 o'clock when she was about to sit down to a frugal lunch Cherry went to the chest and got out her mother's letter. i She took paper and pen and Ink | and sat down at the table. Five minutes later she folded the check inside the note she had written aud sealed them both in an en- fresh air, eee St had dropped the letter into the box and started back up the street when a noisy police ambu- lance passed. A minute later Cherry caught her breath. The ambulanco had halted in front of her home! The girl walked faster. The am- bulance was backed to the door now. Two men entered the house and a Woman came out the door. Cherry began to run. “What is it?” she asked the man in the driver's seat. “What's happened?” ie know, ma'am. Emergency A croup of youngsters, attracted by the noise of the ambulance, formed an inquisitive semi-circle on the sidewalk. Cherry rushed up the steps. The woman by the door was another tenant whom she had seen but never before spoken to, “What's happened?” the girl asked. “It’s Miss Jamieson,” the other | told her. “She has that little room on the top floor. Took some kind of poison.” | “Oh, how horrible!” “It'll be a mercy it she doesn’t live,” Cherry's informant continued ‘omberly, “She's been out of work, Hasn't paid her rent for three weeks, That's why the janitor hap- pened to go upstairs and knock at her door. Believe me, I know what it’s like to be out of work with no friends!” The door opeued and the two women stepped aside. Two men bearing a stretcher came out. There was a figure on the stretcher, entirely covered except for the pale face with its frame of dark hair. The eyes were closed but the face was contorted as though from Pain, « Instinctively Cherry drew back. The crowd of watchers on the side- walk had increased. Cherry wanted to tell them to go away. That poor girl—surely in her suffering she was entitled to privacy! They were taking her to a hospital to try to save her life. Would she live? If the doctors succeeded would she be grateful to them? “It's—so terrible,” Cherry sald brokenly. “Let's go inside.” The other woman followed her, Mr. Bergman, the janitor, stood in the entrance hall. “Well, it's too “I've never seen her with anyone. The note she left said there wasn’t anyone to notify.” “But it doesn’t seem right—!” Cherry began. cee T= other woman put a hand on the girl's arm. “They'll do everything that can be done for her at the hospital,” she said. | “It's charity cases like this one and rich folks that get the best care, They'll Save her if there's any way to do it.” They were right of course. There was nothing for Cherry to do but 80 upstairs to her own apartment, Lunch was waiting there but she knew she could not eat, ‘This is where you live, isn’t it?” the other Woman said when they had Teached the second floor land- ing. “You'd better lie down for a ae Look sort of worn out. ould you like me to brin; cup of tea?” ie dias.
