The
Pocket-Piece
By WARREN MILLER
(Copyright. 1817. Western Newspaper Union.)
Robert Alden bud coine to Chicago
after having been admitted to the bar
because the one Intimate friend be
had made at college, Harold Barnes,
lived there.
Unfortunately for Alden soon after
he had settled In Chicago his chum
tins sent to South America on an im
portant mission for bis Arm.
A month later a iettei from his
friend in South Amerlcn said: "I have
heard from iny sister, a young girl
of twenty, that she is to spend the
winter In Chicago with a married
friend. Do not yet know the address.
Will send it later on, as 1 wunt you
to know my sister."
As Alden boarded the trolley one
day a young girl got In Just ahead of
him. The car was full, so both had
to stand. He paid his fare from a
handful of loose coins and a few
blocks farther on the youug girl
alighted. As she wns passing out Al
den saw her lean down nml pick up
something from the floor. A quick
gllnfrsc of it In her hand made him
think of his pocket piece, a gift from
his friend, Harold Barnes, and much
prized by Alden.
The car stopped and ns the young
girl alighted Harold suddenly deter
mined to alight also, follow her and

lie followed the young girl ns she
turned Into a flue residential street
and saw her go up the steps to a
handsome stone front house.
Alden had gotten this for when his
courage gave out. He walked past
the house, then returned. He must
have that pocket piece. Flnnlly he
coldly ascended the steps and pressed
the button. A butler opened the door
nnd offered the silver salver for a
card. Alden hunted in vain, not a
card had lie with him.
“I would like to see the young lady
of the house,” he said.
At first the butler seemed inclined
to refuse him atlmlsslon, then said,
“Coine In, I will .speak to Miss Leslie.
What name will I suy?”
“Oh, never mind; Just tell her a
gentleman wishes to see her for a few
minutes.”
Soon a very pretty young woman
appeared, but not the one Alden had
followed, and he felt nonplused.
“My errand Is peculiar,” he stam
mered. “I saw a young woman enter
the house nnd I have followed her for
a pocket piece.”
“How remarkably strange," said the
lady.
“It Is Indeed.” said Alden as he
wiped the perspiration from his fore-,
head.
“What I meant to say Is, I dropped ;
a very much prized pocket piece In the <
trolley nnd I have reason to think It
was picked up by the young lady who
cainc Into this house a few minutes
ago.” |
About the time Alden wns wishing
himsnif at thp other end of the world
1 nnd wns Just about to make n nasty
exit, the young woman he had seen
on the car appeared.
As he looked Into the bright eyes
nnd smiling face he felt some of his
courage returning. “I called," he said,
“to ask you to let me Inspect the coin
y/»u found on the cur floor. I think It
will prove to be my pocket piece, the
gift of a dear friend now In South
America.” He noticed at that a quick
.look pass between the two young
women.
“I will go upstairs and look,” she
said. “Is your name on the coin?”
“No only a cross."
“Won’t you sit, Mr. —” said the lady,
nnd she paused for his name.
“Robert Alden,” said the young
man.
Just then the young woman re
turned to the room.
“How unfortunate," she said. “In
my haste I dropped my coin purse and
the coins have rolled In every direc
tion. The one you speak of must have
hidden away behind something, hut If
you will call tomorrow evening I will
have made a thorough search before
then ami will hope to be able to return
your keepsake.”
The next evening the young girl re
ported the pocket piece not found, but
ho passed a delightful hour with her.
The following Sunduy afternoon he
called on the two ladles, but no men
tion was made of the coin. He was
Invited to Sunday tea and spent a
charming evening.
One evening u month later, while
calling at the house, suddenly a pair
of the loveliest of bright eyes looked
; Into his and a sweet voice said, “I
have found your keepsake."
“Do you mean It?” said Alden. “But
I don’t know as I care so much about
It now. I care only for the wonder
ful happiness its loss has brought to
me.’
"Will you give It to me?” she said.
“Yes,” said Alden very bravely, for
i he had been u timid lover, “if you will
he my wife."
About half an hour later the young
, girl ran upstnlrs and when she came
[ down she had two things In her hand,
, the coin and a photogruph.
"Forgive me, Robert,” she said, “but
( I have known you all along. Look,”
and she placed in Ids hand a strlk
, Ingly good likeness of himself.
“I nm Harold Barnes' sister.”
, “Then you knew about the pocket
piece?”
“Of course I did. ’ laughed the young
girl, “and I am always going to keep
( it as one of my chief treasures.’
When a Man Forgets.
“When u man thinks too well of his
self,” said Uncle Eben, “It’s a sign dat
fnaybe he is forgettln’ a few things he
know’s about hisself.”
Describes Trouble.
“Trouble,’ said Uncle Eben, “in a
lot o’ cases is only Jes a lazy mun'S
name foh bard work.”
Worth While Quotation.
FTe surely is most In want of an
other’s patience who nas none of his
own. —La voter.
Always a Way
“There Is always away of doing
every worth-while thing.”

ft IThe experience of shrewd successful business men
