"I don't mean to break my promise about speech making," he smiled.
"For that reason, without any formality, I shall present to my daughter, Penny, this token of merit from the officials of the Reliance Insurance Company for her splendid work in connection with the Molberg case."
Penny gasped as her father held up a tiny bejeweled wrist watch and placed it in her hand. It was the daintiest and most exquisite timepiece she had ever seen.
"Oh, isn't it wonderful," chorused a bevy of friends as they gathered about.
"It's the nicest thing that ever happened to me," Penny declared. "I can't begin to say how grateful I am."
"Aren't you going to look at the inscription?" her father inquired, his eyes twinkling.
In surprise she glanced down at the case. Her face flushed.
"Read it aloud!" commanded her friends.
Penny was too confused to obey. For engraved on the watch case, in the tiniest of letters, were the words:
"TO PENNY NICHOLS FOR DISTINGUISHED SERVICES AS AN AGENT OF JUSTICE."
THE END
