ROTA TRIBUNAL TO DECIDE CASE
"And bo if you would be good enough to return it to me, Mrs. Curtis, I should be very glad to have it at your earliest convenience.' The note ended in the conventional manner, and Helen let it drop to the floor as she wrinkled her brow trying to remember. A note from Mrs. Thurston had come in the afternoon nuill asking Helen to return a gold veil pin that she had borrowed long ago. Helen had not heard from Mrs. Thurston eince the unpleasant occurrence of the twenty-itve dollar loan aid the trouble that she had to collect the money. She had hoped that any intercourse with Mrs. Thurston was at an end, and now came this note which she did not understand at alL She never remembered 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 i Pino tn tho letter, which simply con
tained a cold but courteous request Tor a certain veil pin, a rather valuable pin, from the totie of the letter one that would be very difficult to replace. Well, she would look; the pin must be somewhere in tfte house if she had borrowed it, in he.r jewel case, perhaps, or In her bureau drawer. The thing that puzzled her was the fact I hat she did not remember anything nbout it. but then Rbo must have it If Mrs. Thorston said she had borrowed It. A search through her jewel case revealed nothing that might in any case be taken for a gold veil pin. rerhaps it might have been pinned on a veil and put away in the little box where she kept her veils and gloves, offer thorough search nothing Oi
the kind came to light. Helen began to feel a little worried, it was so very unlike her cautious tself to borrow any kind of a thing, particularly from a women like Mrs. Thurston, and If she could not find the pin. she would most certainlv have to make the loss good. This fact might have to be put before Warren unless she could manage to squeeze the money out of her dress allowance. Warren allowed her $o for her dress, the larger things, such as j-owns and suits, he generally paid for, but she paid for all her smalle 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 UPON THE LADY TO ASK 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 decided 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 Central. A moment later someone was saying "Hello." Hello," said Helen, as calmly as she :ould. "I'd like to speak to Mrs. Thurson, please." There was a wait Helen thought she could distinguish voices

want to speak to me; who Is it, please? Helen conquered he attack of nervousness 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
dont remember borrowing such a
thing, but of course If you say I did
you can tell me Just when it happened ?" "Yes; don't you remember one after
noon 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 remind 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 else who borrowed it?" Helen ask ed the question hopefully.
"No, indeed; I remember the incident quite perfectly, Mrs. Curtis. Of
course, if you have lost it" "But I couldn't have lost it. I'll
DUCHESS DE TALLYRAND The Rota Tribunal, having received all supplementary evidence in the suit of Count Boni de Castellane for annulment of his marriage with Miss Anna Gould, now the Duchess de Tallyrand, is about to tlnish its investigations, which must lead to a definite decision although the Duchess has retired from the case. It is expected a decision will be rendered before the end of the month.
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

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 Impos
sible to replace the pin; I should never I think of trying; It was an heirloom." Helen hung up the receiver with her mind in a turmoil. New complications 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 some one stepped out and Btopped before the door. It couldn't be Warren, thought Helen, suddenly glancing at the clock; it was too early; but yes, it was, as she heard the accustomed click of the latch. "Hello," he said, coming into the room, "what ae 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 present I brought
home for you!"
Helen took the tiny box with a little
cry of delight. WTarren 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 cow to have Warren bring it home just when she least expected it it was almost too much. And then with a little stab
of remembrance the thought of the veil pin came Back to spoil her pleasure. Warrja. 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 eince 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. "Ill call up Mrs. Thurston tomorrow myself from the office, and if she's trying any of that 'come-back' business shell find she's dealing with the wrong party."
