The president of the fraternity in the girls’ college was very pretty, and her family was rich, but the reason why she was the most popular girl in college was not the possession of wealth or good looks, but because she was instinctively the protector of the friendless. There was one shy little country girl who regarded the college idol with mingled awe and admiration. She was timid and retiring, and her lot in college would have been a very lonely one if the fraternity’s president had not taken pity on her. A firm friendship sprang up between the two. The college leader helped her protégé with her studies and even was instrumental in securing the girl’s election to the fraternity. The country girl left college and married a rich man, who died a few years later, leaving her independently wealthy. The widow had many handsome jewels, but the one she prized most was a little gold pin, the emblem of her membership in the college fraternity. The pin was missing one day and the widow, thinking that she might have lost it in the street, telephoned to the police. Soon word came that the pin had been found and she hastened to the police station to claim it. The lost pin was not hers, but it was the emblem of the same college fraternity. The woman who had been arrested when she attempted to pawn it, stood nearby in the custody of a policeman, her face averted. The widow, anxious to know who the owner of the pin could be, stepped forward and gazed into the prisoner’s face. Their eyes met and the wealthy woman recognized in the unfortunate the college favorite of years gone by, the fraternity president who had been her friend. Misfortune had come upon her. Her parents and fortune had been swept away, and she had failed in the battle of life. The ragged woman and the lady of fashion left the station together, and the “most popular girl in college” found a home and loving care with her former protégé. She was proud and did not want to accept any favors, but her protests were silenced by a loving kiss from her benefactress and a reminder that they were both sisters of the same fraternity and sworn to aid one another. And so the friendship which had begun in college ripened in after years into lasting love.
