UtA CO** r>l F DEMAND THE GENUINE
HER AUNTS PIN
By JACK LAWTON.
Daisy May thought him a very nice
young man as he seated himself at her
side in the trolley. It was the only
vacant seat in the last car going to
the city and though Uncle Dexter was
emphatic in advising against entering
into conversation witli strangers,
Daisy May found herself unequal to
snubbing this pleasant young man's
polite advances. He had been so kind
about adjusting the window to just
the proper opening and had offered
his paper with immediate self-efface
ment.
Daisy May regarded him furtively
as he pretended to read. He was not
much older than herself, she thought,
and had a frank, open countenance.
“More robberies," commented the
young man. “Ever see anything like
it? Regular ‘holdups’ everywhere,
can t be safe walking down the street.”
He flashed a sunny smile at her.
“Better hold on to your purse when
you reach the city,” he admonished.
"I will,” answered Daisy May.
“Uncle Baxter warned me about that.
Not that they'd get much money,” she
added laughingly.
She had been commissioned to take
two diamonds to the city to have them
reset in a ring. The ring was to be a
gift for herself, but this Daisy May
did not know.
Site snapped the tasseled bag to
gether and rode on for some time in
silence. But the young man’s eyes
were upon her, she felt them con
sciously.
When he offered his magazine she
accepted it witli a remorseful smile.
How utterly unreasonable to suspect
every stranger of thieving motives.
The usually tiresome trolley trip
passed by as if on happy wings. Daisy
May was regretful that at its finish
she would seethe young man no more.
His regret was evident. With suc
ceeding miles his gay spirits Vanished
and he grew sadly serious.
“I suppose,” he suggested tentative
ly, “there'd be no such luck as meet
ing you occasionally on this same
train.”
"1 do not.” Daisy May severely in
formed him, “continue acquaintance
witli persons to whom I have not been
Introduced.”
The young man relapsed promptly
into the depths of despair.
Daisy May opening the bag a little
later for a last precautionary glance
at Aunt Cynthia's pin, gave a quick
startled cry, the pin was not there. In
troubled haste she turned to her
moody companion.
“My diamond pin is gone,” she mur
mured. “You saw it in my bag a few
moments ago. did you not ?”
The young man looked deliberately
into her excited face.
“I saw nothing in your bag.” he in
sisted.
Daisy May gasped. She had been so
sure that he had. The conductor com
ing along at that moment was made
aware of her distress.
Carefully, cushioned seats and floor
were examined. The pin was not to
be found.
Tlie young man obligingly entered
into ihe search. Daisy May sat per
plexed and baffled.
"The diamonds were very valuable."
she said hopelessly, “and the pin was
not my own.”
Surrounding passengers arose, shak
ing their wraps and overcoats.
“Pins sometimes fly about,” they
said.
An Italian nearby vindicating!.?
turned his pockets inside out, offer
ing ills coat to be searched. But the
nice young man made no examina
tion of his clothing, silently returning
to his seat and paper.
“Your coat please?” the conductor
demanded, “the pin may have become
fastened upon it."
But the conductor did not shake out
the coat’s folds, instead his hand
passed into a deep gaping pocket and
when he drew it out again the gleam
ing pin lay in his palm.
Daisy May leaned tensely forward
while the young man’s questioning
eyes never left her face.
“Thank you,” she said nt last quiet
ly, and took the pin. Tlie conductor
bent over her.
“This man should be forced to ex
plain how the pin came to be in his
possession,” he said. But Daisy May
smiled.
“It really does not matter,” she re
plied. “the yoqng man Is with me.”
When the conductor had gone her
seat companion turned toward her.
"Why did you say that?” he demand
ed. “Why should you try to shield me
when you believe I ant guilty?"
“I know that you are not guilty,"
Daisy May said slowly. •“! would know
that you were not, against all evidence.
Do not ask me to explain why. I be
lieve in you, that’s all.”
The young man stooped to pick up a
gray ball of a glove which had rolled
beneath the seat. He gave it to her.
“You threw the pin out of your bag
probably when you opened it to get
this,” he said, “and my wide gaping
pocket caught the thing; but after
all this, you’ve got to learn to let me
know you better,
“When I first looked into your face
I said to mvself: ‘There's’ the one
girl in the world for you, .Tack Tem
ple.’ And your believing in me like
that, ‘against al) evidence,' ‘against all
the world,' 1 might say, proves that I
was right.”
“All out,” called the conductor.
And two happy-faced young people
passed down the steps.
