Sitting by the window in her convent, Sister Anne opened a letter from home and found a $10 bill inside.
As she read the letter she caught sight of a shabbily dressed stranger leaning against a lamppost below.
Quickly, she wrote, "Don't despair, Sister Anne" on a piece of paper, wrapped the $10 in it and dropped it out the window.
The stranger picked it up and, with a puzzled expression and a tip of the hat, went off down the street.
The next day Sister Anne was told a man was at the door, insisting on seeing her.
She went down and found the stranger waiting. Without a word, he handed her a roll of bills.
"What's this?" she asked.
"That's the 60 bucks you have coming. Don't Despair paid five to one."
