' THE EVENING STORY A Great Traveler. HEN old Abe Fuller died and left his son's widow more money than Wood- ford had ever known about, she who had been Ada Branch and was now Ada Fuller talked over her unexpected good for- tune with her friend. Elsie Watson. *You know I never dreamed rather Fuller had that much money.” she said. “Of course, he magde it in mines —made it instead of losing it, as every- body thought he would. It's a bity Tom didn't outlive his father, but he was delicate, took after his motner.” “I wonder,” said little Elsie, s ing, “how it feels to be a very rich woman?" “It feels very nice, my dear, especlally to me. 1 have always had to watch the pennies,” Ada answered promptly. “I suppose,” Elsie went on dream- fly. “you have made plans, you will do great things.” She was thinking that Ada, being chlldless and very much alone in the world and nearing middle uge “besides, would do many things for Woodford that could not be done without money. A playground for children, a library, a clubhouse for Young people—these were some of the things Elsie had in mind. Indeed, she had gone so far as to strive for them in her humble sway, although ineffectually. “Yes, 1 have muade plans, I mean to do things,” Ada replied. “You know what the desire of my life has always ®een, Elsie. 1 shall now gratify it to the full.” “You mean——" Elsie looked at her slightly startled. “You mean you are going to travel?” “Everywhere," Ada made a gesture. ther dull eyes narrowed with thought. “1 have had my picture taken and sent for my passport for my first trip abroad—I wish you were going, too, Elsie,” Elsie shook her head. “No, the sea would make me sick and I don't like so many strange folks around.” “You've nobody but yourself,” Ada said. “I know. And yet—I've everybody. All Woodford.” Elsie laughed softly. “Quite a family for an old maid, but 1 love it. No, 1 couldn't leave my family, Ada.” She might have added that she was saving every cent she could rake and scrape for a project that had been burning a hole jn her mind this long time. A hospital! It was ridiculous to long for such a vast thing, but she meant to try for it all the same. At the moment she could think of noth ing but her scheme. Oh. if Ada would contribute something toward it! She.wished she dare ask Ada out- right. but the reason she did not was that she felt sure her friend would offer to give a goodly sum. She waited expectantly. but Ada went away with- out saying anything about the hos- pital, or proffering material assistance to anv of Elsie's beloved enterprises. Still Elsie was not disappointed. Ada would send a check, that was it. A check for $1,000, may be $2,000, may- b Jlsie checked her imagination. Ada sept no check. She went away without giving a dollar. When next Elsie heard from her it was by way o post card and hurriedly writ- ten at Gibraltar. It was three before Ada returned. She had fallen in love with Italy, which was so warming to her rheumatic bones, she said, that she hired a tiny villa and lived there, alone, but apparently in perfect en- joyment. When she did return. to Woodford it was only for a day or two to arrange her business affairs. Elsie saw her for half an hour. “You are looking fine, Ada,” she remarked. “Well, I do think Italy agreed with me. But still T think I shall Winter in Egypt. In fact I'm booked to sail—on the nineteenth.” “Alone?” Elsie asked. Ada smiled. “I don't mind. I shall be with a party and one soon picks up acquaint- ances. How have you been?"” “Well and busy.” Then Elsie spoke boldly. ““The hospital really is coming on, I believe. Of course we've had to toil for it, but we've strong hopes— and it is needed.” “Possibly,” Ada subject. Late the following Spring she was again in Woodford for a brief visit, stopping overnight on her way to the Western coast. She was golng to Summer at Banff, having become a trifle overheated in Cairo. From there she moved on to southern California and the Philippines. The next thing Elsie heard of her she was started on a two years' trip around the world. years dismissed the THE FEVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. €. WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 2. 1927. Meanwhile Elsle labored with might and main for her hospital, and at the last moment a stroke of benefi- cence in the way of an endowment from old Mrs. Carroll carried the thing through. The structure of the building began to rise. Elsie impoverished her- self to help along her dearest joy, but even so she grew happier, healthier and handsomer. Nothing like a real interest to rejuvenate one, and Elsle had not once interest, but many. How wonderful she was! How ‘Woodford loved her! With little money at her command she gave so freely of love, of service, that every man, woman and child adored her. *“Our Elsie,” she was called. Then at last Ada Fuller refurned to Woodford.

Her travels had come to an end, and it was learned after a time that her money had given out. She had spent too freely and neglected her se- curities until they had met with disas- ter. Much reduced, she must love for the remainder of her life’ with econ- onmy and prudence. She grew sour and even Elsle found little joy in her. In truth Elsie was too busy now to have much time to Ada, though she did see her whenever she could, for a new library was being built in Woodford with an Elsle Wat Icove. The new hospital also had Watson ward. As for Ada Fuller she had only the memory of strange countries she had seen. To the end of her days she was known as the great traveler—and that was all.
