At housework I was competent, could cook well enough to suit grandfather, could takq care of children, and oven Aunt Jane liked to hear 1110 read If I could earn enough to keep 1110 through the summer and buy next w Inter's clothes, perhaps In the fall I could find some place to work for my board and go lo school The more I thought of It the more confident I felt that my affairs would change for the better. It only 1 could reach Mrs Denton But bow to get to Belllngton? I had no money and It was too far to walk Tossing on my pillow late that night, starching rot some way of ralslne funds, I bethought me of my watch the ono article of value I possessed It was mother's, a quaint timepiece In a cae of raio design which father lnd given her I recalled that Helen Harle. who lived across tho street, ad mired It very much; this I was wont to count a compliment, us Helen had aheady been to New "Vork twice and had seen much Jewelry. Her parents weio as Indulgent as a pair of fairy godmothers (or so it seemed to Cin-dciella-mo In bondage to a grandfather), but as set they had not seen fit to present her with n watch Doubtless for that rcisou she was the moro covet ous of mine At all events, Bhe often begged to borrow It nnd was hurt by in iefual to let her tako It even for overnight It had alvva)s teemed t mo that I could not possibly part with It, but I now perceived tint to leave tho watch with Helen, whoso parents kept her well supplied with spcndlnn mone, was my on!) means of making tho morrow's trip to Belllngton. Very early lu the morning I sought Helen, and, vowing her to secrecy, told her of the whole affair. My plan of set ting out alone, afoot and penniless, filed her Bcnerous soul, and It was with dif ficulty that I restrained her from rush ing pell-mell to her parents with 11 statement of my need Averse to ac cepting charity, I also realized that to their Impartial eyes my determination to go lo Belllngton might wear the mautlo of bravado Instead of bravery. But I was right In 1111111(1118. that Helen would welcotno the chance of obtaining even temporary possession of the watch, nnd at last I mado her understand that all I would accept In return for loaning her tho timepiece was nn advance of money against tho day' when I could ledcem my property Her three months' allow anco having been paid but recently, she Insisted on transferring almost all of It to me, and with outhful en thusiasm added roseate predictions o my success to oft-repeated promises that the precious watch should have 1 the best of care Copirlsht. 11)18. by I'ubllo Ledeer Co.
