r dreams froih his'
dotrfe, qtriMrteal eyes, but she found,
when she sut with lioj- pen pólaed
above a fresh sheet of paper tti*t
there was no impudence left tai her.
He* mother's belief (n her genius
had made it possible to holft fast
to her dream. Dear, funny mother!
But, oddly enough, as she sat star-
ing blankly at the white sheet of
paper, her mother's image faded
rapidly and it was T. Q. Curtis'
eyes that she remembered. He was
sorrowing for Clay, of course. He
was londely and bewildered. He wus
wondering, she mused, nibbling at
her pen, what money was good for
anyway, if it could not buy things
for his boy. No wonder he wanted
to know what other people thought
of money — what good things it
could buy for them thut he had
missed.
"If I had a hundred thousand
dollars," she mused, bend}nft her
mind deliberately to the problem
her impudent, bright little face
very grove and mature of a sud-
den. "Why—" she drew a deep
breath of astonishment as she made
an important discovery. "I don't
want a hundred thousand dollars!"
"It would frighten me'to death, all
that money; then, if I got over
being /frightened, it would tie me
all up in a snarl of obligations.
Clothes and a bifi house and cars
and servants—and—and things!
the joy of her discovery. She
:ged that odd Joy to her heart
r another preelotji -moment, then.
Ith á soft chuckle that brought
the brlhdle cat pnrriiig aud aych-
lng its back, she bent over the pa-
per and began to write.
It was not until she had'finished
her funny, intimate, whimsical lit-
tle confession that she remembered
her half-formed suspicions-and the
wager she had made to her mothor
—"I'd be willing to bet right now
that I could name at least eight of
the prize winners."
As her exultation died down and
reality pressed in upon hei' — the
kitchen was getting bleakly cold—1
she did remember. All the cyni-
cism which life had forced upon her
vame rushing back. She seized her
lijan ágtíin and wrote rapidly—eight
names.
"Here, mother, keep this list un-
til the prizes are announced, and l ~
see if I can't say, 'I told you so!' " , ^
she said iti a hard little voice as
she lucked the folded bit of paper
into her mother's apron pocket.

"'Don'l forget you won twenty-

even afford the coal ■ to heat my
room for me to work in. Don't look
so grieved, honey-love." She bent
swiftly over her mother and rub-
bed her fresh, firm young cheek
caressingly against her mother's.
"I'm not really bitter, but some-
times it does seem as if my dreams
of being a great violinist is so ab-
surd."
She straightened and stared
about the living room, her tear-
bright blue eyéa glancing about the
walls, on which hung four or five
cheaply framed little water colors,
signed "Emily Stark" — her
mother's maiden name.
"I only had a talent for dream-
ing." I-Ief mother's eyes followed
her glance, and she sighed for the
dead dreams of the long dead 1^ra-

take much of that hundred thou-
