One Hundred Dollars (1915)

The price tag on the little Buddah read, apparently, $1.00. Young Mrs. Harvey charged it and did not discover her error until the bill came in. One hundred dollars, and Billy had scolded because she had "spent a dollar on junk." She resolved to return the image, but the tramp to whom she had just given a handout had taken the only thing of seeming worth in the house. Billy was very good about it he borrowed the money. She did not know that he had taken it from his employer's safe. And she had something else to think about, something wonderful. On the day when the baby came, Billy faced discovery. Mr. Carr was checking up the cash. He paused long enough to congratulate Billy and give him "something for the boy." Then he let fall some of the bills. Billy picked them up, and slipped the hundred dollar bill among them. Fate had saved him from the consequences of his theft.
