The Penny
By ELOISE BENNETT

'V' OU may go home, now, Thomas."
* Laura McElroy settled her
small and aged body back comfortably
against the taupe reloura of her car,
surveying with satisfaction the assort
ment of small package* -by her side.
Between the thin, veined forefinger
and thumb of her left hand she held
a penny. After her eyes had wandered
appraisingly over the packages they
turned on the penny..
It was an Indian "head penny,
had come Into Mrs. McEliroy's posses
sion not two minutes before In the
change from the Jig-saw puzzle she
had bought It would do for the day's
gift to ten-year-old Bobby.
Every afternoon,
weather interfered, Thomas, the Mc
Elroy chauffeur for twenty years, took
Mrs. Anthony McElroy, senior, on a
shopping expedition from the house
where she lived with her son and her
grandson. On this expedition she did
such small errands as the varldus busy
members of the family needed. And
always, at the end of the trip, there
was one final errand, some knick
knack for Bobby, her great-grandson.
Thomas fidgeted slightly. "Quite
sure you're finished, Mrs. McElroy ?"
he questioned.
''Yes, thank you, Thomas. Oh—
you're thinking of Bobby! Yes, I've
an Indian head penny for him. He's
collecting coins, you know,"
Thomas chuckled,
stamps and cellophane and old pipe*
and—"
Mrs. McElroy went on;
specially Indian head pennies. He
wants to make a fortune with them.
He's heard they're worth more than
a cent now and he's trying to corner
the market so that when they go up
he can sell them."
Thomas, relieved, let the cat out
a bit and Mrs. McElroy turned the
penny over in her fingers and looked
at the date. An old one, 1866. She
closed her eyes.
She had been—let's see, ten years
old, In 1866. On a June day In that
year she had found a penny, too.
remembered that she and John Martin
had been walking home together from
school. How the city had changed
since then! There had been country
lanes where there were city pave
ments now. And where she had lived,
up near Fifty-ninth streets, there had
been a little pond that all the children
loved. Choked under cement, now, of
course, the springs and streams that

fed It, She and John had
the shade at the side of the pond on
their way home.
"I wish we had some candy," John
had said.
"Would you divide?" she had asked.
"I'd give you more than half," John
had said.
"Would you, John? Oh, thank you.
Oh. look ! Some money I"
And there In the grass at their feet
she had spied a penny—bright and
new and shining. "Look, John. We'll
go buy some candy. You carry the
money."
So John had taken charge of their

then they had sat on the grass while
he scraped away with his knife at
the edge of the penny to mark it for
And
their own.
"It's brand new," he had said.
"Look—It has this year's date!"
He let her feel the ridge with her
finger nail, right In front of the tip
of the Indian's nose. ''Now let's go
buy some candy.'
"Laura,
John had bragged,
going to be rich some day when I grow
up. I'm going to have piles and piles
of money. And I'm going to marry
you and give you half of It. And
we'll have candy each day."

John Martin—well, he'd been right.
He'd laid the foundation of the great
fortune that his grandsons were work
ing so hard to hold together today.
She turned over the worn old coin in
her fingers. Her nail caught In a
worn ridge at Its edge. She opened
her eyes and looked, with a little
breathless start of Interest There It
was—the deep ridge, right at the point
of the Indian's nose, worn smooth and
even.
This was the same coin.
John hadn't forgotten. He had gone
West to win his wealth. He had asked
her to wait for him and she had half
promised. But then Anthony McElroy
—poor, then, too, though he did well
enough later on—had come along and
she had forgotten John and her half
promise. And when he had come back
from the West with a small fortune al
ready his, he had found her promised
to Tony.
But there was that coin In her hand,
a part of John's struggle. The very
same coin.
"Thomas," Mrs. McElroy said to the
'Perhaps you'd better not

and I'll buy Bobby that new stamp
album he wants. I'll keep this old
penny.'
Coin Sell* for $2,080
Numismatists flocked to a rare coin
sale held In Paris at the Hotel Dfrouot
recently, where $ 2,080 was paid for a
tetradrachma struck at Amphlpolls
(Macedonia), and $660 went for a
silver decadrnchma struck at Syra
cuse. In 1878 , only $50 was paid for
the coin sold here for $ 2 , 080 . Other
rare coins sold for from $.'!60 to $ 244 ,
and the entire sale netted the auction
house a sum of 241,000 francs, or
$9,640.
