So, one early spring morning in the last quarter of the fourth year, she almost fainted when she learned that her funds were gone.

Commencement with its extra expense was coming, she had no money, and very few cocoons to open in June, which would be too late.

She had one collection for the Bird Woman complete to a pair of Imperialis moths, and that was her only asset.

On the day she added these big Yellow Emperors she had been promised a check for three hundred dollars, but she would not get it until these specimens were secured.

She remembered that she never had found an Emperor before June.
Moreover, that sum was for her first year in college.
