"I'm going to buy mo an automo
bile, and keep rijjht an working?pro

Miss Lindley, then in high school,
was visiting a't the home of her uncle,
G. O. Lunde, near Nora Springs,
Iowa, when she made the mvestmerot.
She is the daughter of Ole Lindley,
of Osage, and she has four brothers
and six-sisters.
One day, after dinner, an elderly
man, poorly clad, came to the door of
the farmhouse and asked for some
thin <r to cat Mrs. Lunde was busy,
but it was the ruie of the Luimte home
never to turn' a man away from the
door. So Sarah Lindley placed food on
the table and' the tramp was invited
to sit down and' eat.
Before he finished it began to rain.
At the end of the meaJ he filled his
pipe and sat and smoked while wait
ing for the shower to be over. Ex
cept for giving thanxs for the meal,
he had not spoken a ward.
Presently Sarah noticed tears in the
old man's eyes, and her sympathy
was aroused. Finally she asked him
what the trouble was.
"My wife," he answered.
"She deserted me three years ajro.
I have been hurtting for her ever
sinlce. I loved hen, but she did not
love me. My money gaive out. If I had
a little money I might find her.
SaTah did not question him further
She did not ask his name. But when
l.he shower was over and the old man
'..?nocked the ashes from his pipe and
prepared to leave, she said:
"Wait a minute."
Then* she went into an adjoininr-T:
?oom, got $2 from her purse, and, re- j
urnin-g, handed the money to the old :
man.
