"Only one month in New York!" she thought with disappointment. "Well, Betty, you're out for work, not pleasure," she said to herself, bravely.
That evening at eight o'clock, Dr. Cadman, called.
Betty never forgot the delight of that first interview. He was so kind to her and so delighted with everything at the Mission Home. She felt very proud as she introduced him to the president and his family, for Dr. Cadman was strikingly attractive, and she could see that President Gladder took an instant liking to him.
For about an hour they chatted and then on going, the arrangement was made for Betty and her companion to meet Dr. Cadman the following day, and he would help them to find a place to live.
That night Betty retired with a heart full of thankfulness—for just exactly what, she couldn't say herself.
"You look beamingly happy," remarked Dell, as they undressed to retire.
"I feel so," returned Betty brightly.
When the light was out, and Dell fast asleep, Betty lay awake for a long time, watching the moon slowly rise over the housetops.
"He's just more wonderful than ever!" she declared to herself. "I must think of my mission, though, and not of him. I wonder—" and there Betty left off her thinking and sank into a sweet dreamy rest.
