"And so if you would be good
fenough to return it to me, Mrs. Cur
tis,' I should be very glad to have it
at your earliest convenience." The
note ended in the conventional man
ner, and Helen let it drop to the floor
she wrinkled her brow trying to re
>nember.
A note from Mrs. Thurston had
icome in the afternoon mail asking
Helen to return a gold veil pin that
she borrowed long ago. Helen had
riot heard from Mrs. Thurston since
the unpleasant occurrence of the
twenty-five dollar loan and the trou
ble that she had to collect the money.
iShe had hoped that any intercourse
(with Mrs. Thurston was at an end. and
taow came this note which she did not
Understand at all. She never remem
bered borrowing a veil pin from Mrs.
Thurston. When could she have done
It?
The note lay on the floor where she
had dropped it, and she picked it up
to scan over again. But no, there
was no clue in the letter, which
simply contained a cold but courteous
request for a certain veil pin, a
rather valuable pin, from the tone of
the letter—one that would be very
difficult to replace.
Well, she would look: the pin must
be somewhere in the house if she had
borrowed it, in her jewel case, per
haps, or in her bureau drawer. The
thing that puzzled her was the fact
that she did not remember anything
about It, but then she must have it
If Mrs. Thurston said she had bor
rowed it.
A search through her jewel case
revealed nothing that might in any
case be taken for a gold veil pin.
Perhaps it might have been pinned
on a veil and put away in the little
box where she kept her veils and
gloves, but after a thorough search
nothing of the kind came to light.
Helen began to feel a little worried,
It was so very unlike her cautious
eelf to borrow any kind of a thing,
particularly from a woman like Mrs.
Thurston, and if she could not find
the pin, she would most certainly
have to make the loss good.
This fact might have to be put be
fore Warren unless she could manage
to squeeze the money out of her dress
allowance. Warren allowed her $5
for her dress, the larger things, such
as gowns and suits, he generally paid
for, but she paid for all her smaller
needs, and it was very hard to ask
him for extra money. He would be
sure to tell her how careless she had
been, too, a fact that she dreaded
more than anything else.
She Calls T'pon the Ivndy to AsU
Particulars
Suddenly the idea occurred to her
of calling Mrs. Thurston up on the
telephone. At least she might learn
particulars about the thing and the
value of the pin in case it could not
be found, even if Mrs. Thurston de
cided to be rather horrid about it all.
Almost before she knew what she
was doing she was at the telephone
and had given the number to Cen
tral. A moment later someone was
saying "Hello."
"Hello," said Helen, as calmly as
she could, "I'd like to speak to Mrs.
Thurston, please." There was a wait.
Helen thought she could distinguish
voices and then a laugh as someone
else came to the telephone and took
the receiver. The desire to slam the
receiver down on the hook came over
her as she recognized Mrs. Thurston's
voice. There was an amused note In
It that made Helen so furious that
she wanted to cry.
"This is Mrs. Thurston; did you
want to speak to me; who is it,
please?"
Helen conquered her attack of nerv
ousness and spoke- quickly.
"This is Mrs. Curtis. You wrote to
me, Mrs. Thurston, about a veil pin
that you said I borrowed from you. I
don't remember borrowing such a
thing, but of course if you say 1 did
you can tell me just when it hap
pened?"
"Yes; don't you remember one aft
ernoon when you were over here for
tea? I had just showed you my new
sables and you went into my room
to put on your hat before my mirror?
The pin was lying on the dressing

table and you took it up and pinned
on your veil with it."
| "I must have said something about
it at the time," protested Helen.
"O, yes, you did; something about
returning it safely. I don't exactly
remember. Of course I thought you
would remember; but as you didn't
there was nothing else to do but re
mind you of it." The tone was almost
insolent, and yet not a thing had been
said that Helen could take exception
to. She hardly knew what to say
next.
Helen Cannot Remember Anything of
the Kind
"I don't recollect anything of the
kind," she said again, a little lamely,
"and I looked through all my things
as soon as I received your note, but
there was nothing that I could find."
"No doubt the thing will come to
light. Of course, I shouldn't have
mentioned It at all, but it was rather
a valuable thing and I hated to think
of losing it."
"Are you sure that it wasn't some
one elso who borrowed it?" Helen
asked the question hopefully.
"No, Indeed; I remember the Inci
dent quite perfectly, Mrs. Curtis. Of
course, if you have lost it"
"But I couldn't have lost\ it. I'll
look through everything again and
let you know, Mrs. Thurston. Of
course, I can send you a new one if
anything has happened to this one,
and"
"Please don't bother to do that."
The words came icily. "It would be
Impossible to replace the pin-; I
should never think of trying; it was
an heirloom."
Helen hung up the receiver with
her mind in a turmoil. New compli
cations had arisen. If Mrs. Thurston
would not allow her to replace the
pin. then she. Helen, would be placed
in a' very awkward position, for Mrs.
Thurston would never let the thing
rest. What could she do? Would
Warren remember it if she had ever
borrowed a thing from Mrs. Thurston?
No, for Warren hated borrowing of
any kind and he would have been
furious if Helen had ever mentioned
sUch a thing. The elevator came up
and someone stepped out and stopped
before their door. It couldn't be War
ren, thought Helen, suddenly glanc
ing at the clock; it was too early;
but yes, it was, as she heard the ac
customed click of the latch.
"Hello," he said, coming into the
room, "what are you sitting in here
for?"
"How did you happen to come home
so early, dear, I'm all alone, Nora has
taken Winifred to the park!
"Well, come on, let's go on into the
front. Here's a little ipresent I
brought home for you!"
Helen took the tiny box with a lit
tle cry of delight. Warren brought
her presents so seldom.
"Why, dear, whatever made you
think of such a thing? It isn't time
for my birthday, you know. How
lovely!"
It was a bracelet, just a plain gold
band. Helen had wanted one ever
since she could remember, and now
to have Warren bring it home just
when she least expected it—it was al
most too much. And then with a lit
tle stab of remembrance the thought
of the veil pin came back to spoil
her pleasure. Warren, who was
watching her closely, saw her face
fall.
"What's the matter, don't you like
it?" he questioned.
"Dear, I love it; I wasn't thinking
of that, it's something else," and then
the whole story came out, and Helen
produced the note for him to read.
"And I don't believe I borrowed it
from her at all," she continued; "you
know I have never heard from her
since the trouble I had that time
about that money!"
Warren had kept quiet during the
entire affair, but at Helen's last re
mark he looked up quickly.
"I don't believe you borrowed it,
either." he said grimly. "I'll call up
Mrs. Thurston to-morrow myself from
the office, and if she's trying any of
that 'come back' business she'll "find
she's dealing with the wrong party."

cinating story will appear on this page

K Smart and Useful Model that can be

Misses and Small Women, 16 and l 8
years.
Ail the new coats flare. How
ever much they may vary in other details,
that feature always is found. This one is
distinctly youthful in effect and, 6ince it
consists of a body portion that is prac
tically a blouse attached to a plain peplum
or tunic, it is really a very easy garment
to make while it is in the height of style.
The long, close-fitting sleeves and higfi
collar make features of the autumn and
winter styles. A practical feature of
this coat is found in the fronts that can
be turned back to form lapels or buttoned
over closely 'as occasion may require.
Over a plain skirt, no better coat than
this one could be found but thetunic skirt
brings the demand for something shorter
and, by simply cutting the 6kirt portion
off, a quite different effect can be obtained.
Coats of the kind will be made of velvet,
of corduroy and of all the familiar wool
cloakings for the earlier season and of
fur cloths later, for fur cloths are ex
ceedingly beautiful this season and seem
especially well adapted to such garments.

TEACHERS' PENSION
TO BE DISCUSSED
Dr. Becht Calls Important Confer
ence to Be Held in This
City on Saturday
The Educational Council of the
Pennsylvania State Educational Asso
ciation will discuss teachers' pensions
at a meeting in the offices of the
State Board of Education on Satur
day, October 10. The Council is com
j posed of representatives from every
| department of the association and is a
widely representative body.
As the special subject for considera
tion will be teachers' pensions and
| comes-up because at the session of the
association in December, 1913, Dr. J.
George Becht, the president of the
council, submitted a report covering
the nature and purpose of pensions,
the objections to pensions, pension
methods, typical pension laws, and lo
cal teachers' retirement funds.
A number 1 of propositions were set
forth to be considered by the teachers
of the Commonwealth:—
1. Shall the teachers of Pennsyl
vania assume that a State-wide pen
sion law cannot be drawn within the
limits of the present constitution, and
on the basis of such assumption shall
a constitutional convention be urged
with the prospect of having the pen
sion prohibition eliminated from a
new constitution?
2. Shall we assume that the courts
will recognize the judges' retirement
bill with its qualifications for service,
and the mothers' pension bill, as con
stitutional measures, and on the basis
of this assifmption support a bill sim
ilar to State-wide pension laws that
have been enacted elsewhere?
3. What form of State-wide pen
sion schemes shall we recommend. —
the Rhode Island plan in which the
State provides the entire fund and
the teachers make no contribution
whatever; or the Massachusetts sys
tem to which the teachers and the
State make contributions?
An extended study of pensions sys
tems that have been in operation
disclosed the fact that those which
failed or became bankrupt failed be
cause they were not. based on sound
actuarial principles. The council will
suggest that whatever form of pension
is proposed shall be drawn with the
best actuarial advice obtainable.
