Daily Short Story
THE CANE

What a fool. what a id fool /
have BEEN mumbled Jones to him
self.
He had spent considerable time
gambling away his whole monthly al
lowance In the club.
As soon as he was outside and felt
sure that no one could see him. he
examined his pockets and found that
when he added up all his silver and
nickei coins he had just two dollars
and rfteen cents. And now he was
sitting IN. a cafe on the boulevard
cursing himself for his folly.
Then he happened TO think that he
had invited the little Miss Lyly TO
take dinner with him in the Champ
Elysees.
MISS Lyly was a little fair-hairel
girl. whom he knew very little but
loved so much more. And how he had
looked forward. to this little dinner.
n only thing for him 10 do was 10
SEND her a plausible excuse. the death
OF a relative or something like that.
he was just about TO AJAX for a
telegraph blank. when he suddenly
changed his mind. What right had
ne 10 act like that II would be dis.
graceful TO %disappoint her. He must
ma a way to raise the money.
The handle Of his cane was shaped
Ike III" upper part OF a crutch and
was made from heavy solid gold. L,
was a present from an aunt on the
day when he received his degree Of
l. l.. ID. n as he looked az the cane
an Idea came TO him. II ne pawned
tho cane. he would get a few dollars
and could keep HIS appointment.
He paid the waiter. called n cab
n drove TO the nearest pawnshon
He went into the small store where
a number of people were sitting
among them were representatives Of
the utmost poverty and others OF an.
parent luxury.
Sit down. sir" said a vouns eirl
next 20 Jones. as he stood gazing
about the place. He did So. smiling
politely.
iAere Is not much Don here YOU
see. the young girl said. "You feel
better now thu YOU sat down. don't
you. know exactly how this place
makes yen feel when YOU first get q

Jones thanked her cordially. T.

she said.

She laughed and her eyes twinkled.
Now she had a surprise for her sweet
heart. She had given up the idea Of
having a wedding party and all that.
ana would be satisfied with n simple
CEREMONY.
You see" she said. my mother
has a piece Of Jewelry-a very costly
brooch OF gold. embedded with pearls
ahc nlafnoncs. II Is a sacred heirloom
Tor you may imagine a thing like that
IL really not for people like US: but
no matter how poor we have been

WOW. when my mother saw how I'M

Ara with the greatest generation
sne opened a little ca-e in which there
was a plain brooch with diamond
chips. One single glance was enough.
10 tell Jones what the treasured heir

brass with imitation pearls and glass.

My mother would liked TO have

now"
Indeed it is" was all Jones could
say.
Then Jones conceived OF a bright
idea.
Will you let ne have your
brooch" he asked.
Without hesitating a moment. she
handed him the little case.
Here is your number now" said
Jones. handing her a brass check.
Your case is in this paper. They
only took the brooch. have
wrapped the case up. and YOU better
put IL into your pocket so ms not 10

said Jones
~"Sixty-three' One hundred and

She smiled az .Tonos. And the
young man felt an inward jog as he
