Cody’s third floor and furnished Jenny‘s inadequate supply of food and clothing, and the other half until the last two month- bnd gone regularly to her mother on the little unproductive Rhone Inland farm. But then laat two months had made I. new division in the stipend. Now it was in three parts, and the third went to the fourth floor of Mrs. Cody‘s sput- meut house to a room even more tiny and bare than her own. She had heard a low moaning one day. apparently from the room above. and had gone up and tapped anxiously on the door. Sev- eral minute had passed before she heard a feeble step across the door, and th the door had opened, and she had “All Ion Ionmwnm In?” an on- ‘ um looked into the sweeten. most refined old face she had ever neon. but, oh. no wan and patient and hopeless. No, nothing was wanted. the old wo- man said. She had only lost control of herself fora moment; thatyvas all. And she smiled with pitiful cheerfulnoss Is she closed the door. But Jenny had seen enough. That face and one brief glimpse into the room beyond sent her hurrying down- stairs after her own bowl of soup and bit of bread and butter. And in spite of the old woman'- protests and entreaties she had literally forced her to eat, laughing, but unyielding and firm. And with the first spoonful of soup there had come a light into the woman's eyes which made Jenny turn abruptly and walk to the one small window, choking buck something in her throat. it was n she had Impacted. only worse. The old woman had been literally starving. Since then they had been good friends, Jenny, tender and imperious, bringing her: own oil stove and provi- sion to the fourth floor room. so that there should be no more question of hunger, and the old woman deprecato ry, but yielding. It meant less for the hardworking mother on the farm and less for herself. but Jenny scarcely thought of dress things. Her mother would have it loulho knew. The old woman was in greater need than they and should be looked after first. And now had come a promotion. and with it Ibo would have to leave the apartment house and board in the fam- ily of her employer. But the old wom- an should have the oil Itove and the small supply of provisions on hand, and—yes, she should have the bit of carpet she ind bought. It would be warm for the poor old feet. So when she went up to the fourth floor to say goodby she carried the bit of carpet and a teapot and some bookl she thought the old womnuxmlght like to mad. An hour wu spent in talking and planning, and then [he turned to leave, the old woman follow- her to the door. a i will not try to thank you, dear." she said softly. “Words are so inade- quate. But you know"—-Iho removed a qualntiy wrought circle: of sold from her anger and slipped it on me of Jen- ny's—“l want you to wear this to to member are by. It in not valuable ex- cept for association and tradition. My father brought it from [auto and gave it to me long, long ago, when I was a little girl. Ee laid the tiny setting was a luck stone and that the ring would be a talisman to good fortune." She smiled wistftu and added, “1 hope the fortune will be better for you than it bu been for me, dear." An hour later Jenny was in a street car on the way to the new boarding place. Opposibo'her out a man who seemed to be looking through the win- dow at her back. but from time to time, when her gun rose suddenly. she found him looking straight at her. He lied been on the sidewalk when she left the spam-t home and had boarded the same car and changed at the um. transfer. but of that she would not have drought. for such coincidence- nuldouily beneath a city. only Itepped halide her to the sidewalk ntle “ 'v turned to him. her eye. flush- “Are you following me?" she de- rounded. The man smiled asseutingly. “\Vhy. yes; I may as well ucknowl~ edge 1 have been," he replied. “i wanted to be perfectly sure first. but it's all right. You must come along with me—to the police station. you know." at the incredullty and horror in her face. “I am a detective." "But what for?" iudlgnautly. “0h. jult for the ring on your flu- ger.” easily, “though of course you know. It's been in the papers the last ten days—only ring like it in the coun- try, big reward and all that. What puzzles me. though. is you being so simple as to put it on openly. We were given a hint by your landlady this morning that a ring something like the one advertised was in her house. but from what she said we had an idea it was worn by up old woman. I’ve been on the watch several hours. Now come along. If you don't make a fuss we can walk quietly and nobody will notice." Jenny's head was in a whirl. The ring was evidently stolen, but she did not for a moment think of tho old wo- man as a thief, and yet she claimed to have owned the ring since she was a young girl. r “There's some mistake," she fultered. "Of course there is." cheerfully, “and it's too bad to put you to so much in- convenience. But you'll have to go and explain to the judge and to the owner of the ring, who will be telephoned for. You can do that easily enough.” And the oldest grinned sarcastically. When the owner come he proved to be a young man, the sight of whom brought a quick flush to Jenny’s face. He was the son of the man for whom she worked. “What! You?" be exclaimed, then to the officer: “You have made a mistake. This young lady"— "Goods found on her," interrupted the oiiicer iaconicaliy. “Look at her finger." “I don’t care." vehemently. "She isn't the one." He glanced at the circlet on Jenny's linger. and an odd look came to his face as he added. “Besides, the ring isn’t in the least like mine—not in the least." “Exactly like your description," dry- ly, “and I believe your advertisement added that the name ‘Elolse Nevins’ was inside. Suppose we look and see." “No, no.” hastily. “It isn't worth while. The ring is entirely different." But Jenny was slipping the ring from her finger hurriedly. “It is ’Heloise,’ not ‘Eloise.’ inside." she cried. "What!" The young man took the ring and examined it eagerly. incredu- lously. “It must be Aunt Heloise’s," he sold at last in an awed voice. “Grandfather gave a ring to each of his daughters. but Aunt Heloise’s was lost or sup posed to be when her vessel went down in mldocean twenty years ago." “Your Aunt Heloise is alive in an east side apartment house." exclaimed Jenny, “or at least I saw the name ‘Helolse Nevins' in some books, and their owner gave me this ring." “Case dismissed,” said the judge briskly. “Otilcer. bring up the next.” She Knew. A young lawyer had become very much attached to a certain young wo- man who was somewhat celebrated among her friends for her rcpurtec. The only obstacle in the pathway of the young man was his exceeding shy- ness. for, while always in command of himself in the courtroom, he became almost speechless in the presence of his adored one. As one method of showing his devotion, it was his'cus- tom to shower his inamoratl. with pres- cuts. The young lady’s mother, being far from satisfied with the status of the case. broached the subject “My dear," Ihe said, “you have let Mr. Brown practically monopolize your society for a year and nov'v have scarcely any other callers. Has he ever given you to understand that his intentions are serious?" “No. He hasn't Illd nnything. but i know they are." “How can you know it if he has said ‘ nothing?" The girl smiled, "Well." she said. "you know he is a l lawyer, and lawyers always commence a contract with ‘Know all men by these presents."'—H.arper's Weekly. Just What 'I‘hoy Wanted.
