'I LEARN THAT ARTHUR HAS PROVIDED FOR ME I spent the afternoon trying to estimate what sum of money would be required to pay what I owed. In all my life money had never worried me. In my mother's home I always had plenty to wear and finances were seldom diaJCussed. When I went shopping there "'were always charge accounts which obviated the necessity of paying cash, (and my mother supplied me with all ithe spending money which my modest

Requirements demanded. After my fnarriage it was much the same, with Arthur in my mother's place. It was he who paid the bills.

The result was that I was as helpless *s a baby when suddenly confronted With the problem of settling my accounts. Miss Thompson told me very Candidly what her salary from Miss Regnier was, and with my nurse's assistance I figured out wnat sum was due my rival. Then the hotel bill. My y suite of rooms was an expensive one and meals for my nurse and me, I suspected, would bring the total up to quite a large sum. I had no idea, however, what the hotel expenses were.

Indeed there was but one way to find out and that was to ask the hotel management.

Mr. Beclt, the clerk, referred me to |the cashier, and the cashier, in turn, referred me to Mr. Billings, the mani 'Ager. i "Why, you don't owe anything," he exclaimed when I put the question to •him. "Everything is settled."

I was aghast. Everything settled. "What do you mean?" I faltered. "All paid," he declared. "Mr. Pemi 'broke has settled for everything." "Mr. Pembroke—" I began and (Stopped.

The manager looked at me ourious.ly. "Of course," he said hastily. "When Mr. Pembroke left he paid for two jinonths in advance and also deposited ill,000 with mo for you to draw"against. /Didn't Mr. Beck give you a memorandum of the arrangement?" "No," I replied. "I knew nothing of If "Inexcusable negligence," excaimed Mr. Billings. "I told him to send you a memorandum at once." '1 did not receive it." "Too bad. But in any event, I have the thousand dollars. Mrs. Pembroke, and it is yours whenever you wish to draw it. Besides, as I said, your bill has been paid for nearly another xttbnth and if .you choose to stay six months longer, nothing will be said abput another bill. Mr. Pembroke will -vuettle that." "Has he sent you a remittance recently?" I inquired. It was as near as

I could come to asking if he had received any Word from my husband. "No, the deposit was made when he lfcft. A remittance was unnecessary."

I thanked him as well as I cpuld end went back to my room. Was ever 'woman surrounded by more puzzling circumstances than I? At any rate I had sufficient funds to pay Miss Regand in a short time Miss Thomp-

eon was on her way to wipe out the oebt. I breathed a sigh of relief as sh^ departed on the errand. It was as ir a heavy and galling load was lifted from my shoulders.

After Miss Regnier was paid there remained a substantial sum on deposit with -Mr. Billings. I resolved to draw as much as I might need and quietly take my departure for my old home. I had no qualms of conscience about using Arthur's money. Had 1 had money of my own readily at hand might still have used my husband's, although I am not quite sure what I would have done in that event. Certain it was that Arthur's obligation tc support me had not been diminished by his unexpected departure and protracted silence. If anything the obligation had been increased by Just so mufch. .. r'

But these thoughts did not enter my mind at .the, time. No nice distinctions, occurred to me. I prepared to

draw the money with no other thought than that it was mine, and when Miss Thompson returned from her trip to Miss Regnier's home I sent her to the manager for two hundred dollars more "Take it and buy my tickets." I told her. "While you are gone I shall pack my trunks. By nightfall I shall be on my way to my mother's home." "And I," said Miss Thompson with a wan smile, "shall be seeking another patient. In a few days or a few hours I shall have one, but she will be different from you. It will be a long time before I find another sick Mttle girl like you."

My heart warmed to her. "Come with me," I urged. "Our home is big enough for both of us, and we fehall try to forget all the unpleasant -things cf the pasfc" liter eyes, were- moist as she shook her Jiead. "No, ifty duty lies here. I shall go ahead with my work."

When she was gone I set about my task of packing. But I found it harder to accomplish tjian I had anticipated. :2ach dress I picked up reminded me of Arthur. I recalled that I had bought this one at his suggestion-, or that I had loved that one because he admired it so much. Once or twice I felt that I could not finish the undertaking, so deeply was I affected by the memories which surged upon me. But I persisted despite tears and weakness, and at length the last article was in place and I Sank down exhausted.

A few hours more and I should be clasped in my mother's arms. How tenderly she loved me! How greatly I needed her now! It seemed I never had really known what it was to have a mother until this time of misery.
