NEWSBDY FINDS
DIAMOND BAR PIN
Tuck Maroose Was Glad
He Could Make Owner :
Glad

That lost articles can be recov'
cred by other means than by adver.
tisIng in The West Virglnian was
demonstrated yesterday attsrpoon
when Tuck Maroose, q West Vir'
ginian newsboy doing business at
the corner OF Main and Monroe
streets, returned a lost diamond
bar pin to Mrs. R. A. Staley, 1903
Fairmont avenue. Tuck received
a substantial pecuniary reward and
need Of praise that made him
blush with pleasure.
Incidentally there was combi-
nation of circumstances that tends
10 show that curiosity, which IS
popularity supposed to be an ex-
clusively feminine possession, ts
not such a Dau quality, measured
by results even when practiced by
the other sex.
Seeing two women searching the
sidewalk and gutter at the Monroe
street entrance to Martins drug
store, a man stopped and asked II
they had lost something. They
had-a diamond bar pin. They had
been at a meeting in the Masonic
Temple, had stopped at Hartley's
aud had missed the pin as they
arrived at the point where they
then were. They had gone back
to HartIey's, failed to find the pin
and were looking again where they
first discovered the loss.
Lets go back to the hail and
look" finally said one Of the wom-
en-, and they went, but the man
stayed.
mister, have you lost some
thing" caused the man to straight
en- up from position with his nose
as close to the sidewalk as dignity
would permit-and there was Tuck.
Tuck suspended business opera
tlons long enough to accompany
the man to the Masonic Temple,
and was rewarded as aforesaid.
Gee, wasn't she glad!' said
Tuck in heartfelt tones, afterward
as he commented on the case be.

Evidently making her glad meant
more to Tuck than the financial re-
ward, even though the latter was
we'll worth the earning.
