AN ARTFUL DODGER.
The Story of a Stolen Wat1t and a Truly
Penitent Thief.

The Story of q Stolen WatIt and a Truly
Penitent Thief.
Being rich and proud, the old railroad
magnate would give a reasonable for
tune if this incident in his career had
never become public. He had left his
office one afternoon, and III front of the
building found a crowd, attracted by a
passing procession. He was pressing
his way through when stopped by a
brilliantly handsome young
whose face wore a troubled look. She
wanted t reach a street in the north
western part Of the city and was at a
less what route to take. He calamity
helped her out Of the crush, put her Oh
the right car and told her where to get
off. Wanting to know the time a few
minutes later, he dove into his watch
pocket. only to find it u~noccupied. A
little profanity was followed by a
chuckle, for the watch taken was a
cheap affair he was carrying while his
timepiece was being repaired.
He had never suspected the beautiful
Young lady, but the next day she ap-
pearod III tears and restored the stolen
watch. She was sorely pressed for
money, had 10 one to whom she could
go for help and had yielded to a mo
mentary impulse. But her conscience
gave her no rest until she repented and
made restitution. She had thrown her.
self on his mercy, aud the old gentle
man vas deeply moved. He insisted on
her taking $50, to be returned if she
was ever IN a position to repay. other
wise to be regarded as a gift. Over
come by a joyful reaction, she almost
tainted and would have fallen but for
the support of her benefactor. When
she was gone, he felt as a man who had
done a good deed and was on the best
of terms with himself. He even looked
in the glass to smile congratulations at
himself. There he discovered that his
big diamond pin was gone. The long
pocketbook was missing from the inside
pocket of his coat. With a weak hand
he reached for his own $500 chronom-
eter, and that, too, had vanished. He
told no one but his wife, whom he
swore to secrecy. That is how the affair
got out. -Detroit Free Press.
