Susan Learns that Love Protects

[Of Special Interest to Children]

DOROTHY H. JONES

For several months Susan's family had been planning a vacation camping trip. Susan wanted to take souvenirs back to her friends; so she had been saving all the money she earned doing chores for her mother. After her coin bank overflowed, Susan's mother exchanged the coins for dollars which Susan kept in a small red billfold.

On the Saturday afternoon before they were to leave on the long-awaited trip, Susan's brother. Tim, had to play in a Little League game in a nearby park. Just before Tim left, he and Susan had an argument. While his sister wasn't looking, Tim took the billfold off her bureau and slipped out of the house.

He laid the billfold on the inside of the empty luggage rack that had been strapped to the top of the family car. The rack provided no protection for such a small object, but Tim expected Susan or their father to find the billfold quickly. Then Tim took the short cut and walked to the ball field without telling anyone about the incident.
