She arrived safely with her debts, but nothing more--her pocket had been picked! Oh, thief, could you but know what value of faithful work you purloined! From the close of the year 1876 Miss Anthony's accounts showed favorable signs as to the credit column.

Indeed, at the end of five years there was a solid balance of several thousand dollars earned on lecturing tours.

But alas! the accounts grow dim again--in fact the credit column fades away.

"The History of Woman Suffrage" ruthlessly swallowed up every vestige of Miss Anthony's bank account.

But, in 1886, by the will of Mrs.Eddy, daughter of Francis Jackson of Boston, Miss Anthony received twenty-four thousand dollars for the Woman's Suffrage Movement, which lifted her out of debt once more.
In vain will you search these telltale books for evidence of personal extravagance; for, although Miss Anthony thinks it true economy to buy the best, her tastes are simple.
