To this remark both friends

made gallant reply and were
soon engaged in very animated
conversation with the two ladies
which lasted until the trains de-
parture. Realizing the time, and
the fact that a Pennsylvania train
would hardly delay it's departure
even for soldiers, "Jenny" and his
friend hastily begged a farewell
kiss from their fair companions
and asked that they accompany
them to the train.
The girls consented to both
propositions, and at the gate in
the train shed as Jenny was
bidding his beautiful companion
goodbye and just as the train
was on the point of departure, she
hastily slipped a ring from her
finger with the remark: "Here,
take this to remember me BY"

me of girl who helped me to
pass half hour SO pleasantly"
gallantly replied Jenny" at the
same time starting for the train
which was already in motion.
"But [ would like to know your
name and address" Josephine
-; No. -, Ave-"
In his rush to catch the train,
Jenny failed to hear the name
very distinctly, and in the excite
ment of the next few days the
whole incident had been forgotten.
It was recalled, however, a few
days afterward when on board the
transport boat whore he found
himself three days after enlistment
with the other Port Jervis recruits
being sent to the front without
even the knowledge of the manual
of arms.
Jenny" with the others, had
begun already to realize that there
was no fun in real war, and he
and his friend Hammers were talk
ling over the incidents of the past
few days when Jenny" suddenly
thought about the ring. Search
ing: his pockets he found it and
bringing it forth in his hand dis
played it to the astonished gaze of
Hammers, who Immediately re-
marked on it's beauty and APP
parent value. Jenny was as much
astonished and impressed by the
ring as was his friend, for it was
the first time he had looked at it..
He related how it had come into
his possession, and remarked: 81
never dresmed it to be of much
value tho, or I should never have
taken it of that impulsive girl"
It was really a magnificent solid
gold ring with a diamond and
ruby set, and engraved with the
initials 81. A." After this inspec-
ton of the gift Jenny" taxed his
memory in every conceivable way
to recall the lady's name and adj
dress, but the only success that
crowned his efforts was the recol-
lection of Josephine" and some
avenue in Jersey City.
When the war was over, "Jen-
n.y." who had been promoted to a
sergeant in the hospital corps, was
left with the sick at Montauk
Point, and while there he had the
ring valued by a jeweler who pro-
nounced it's worth to be $500. He
then endeavored through person
ais" in New York papers to locate
the donor with the intention of
returning the ring, believing she
had not realized just what she had
given. But his efforts in this
direction brought no results and
the giver is still unknown. And
