Allen was white and trembling; Nettie
sobbed quietly into her pocket handker-
chief, and Mrs. Lemuel Brown, seeing
her purse in the hands of the officer,
and knowing its contents intact, found
herself plying the young thing, who
seemed older than her own daughter
Mamie, who was still in the high school.

What is it, Alien?" he asked.
Aliens misery was dumb, and he stood
with bowed head while Mr.. Kite told
the story. She is his wife, and he
wanted to assume the guilt, which is
absurd. He was two aisles away from
the silk counter, and Mrs. Brown saw
her take the purse. Besides, We all
know his honesty" he said in conclu-
sion.

Nettie held out both hands to her hus-
band. She had not spoken since the off,
GERS hand fell on her shoulder. Now
she sobbed: 20, Charlie, Charlie. save

Allen felt dazed with establishment.
Don't say anything" he whispered in
to his wife's ear. Then he faced the
officer She is not to blame, he said
hoarsely. Il picked up the purse, and
gave it to her.
Mr.. Kite stared at him in silence for
full half a minute. Charles Allen had
been floor walker in the store for ten
years, and for all that time had been
probity itself. During the half minute
he remembered that the floor walker had
recently married a wife. and, as he
would have said himself. sized up the
situation"
mo, no, Allen" he said, not unkindly,
you can't shield her that way. The
pocketbook was taken not two minutes
ago from this lady, and you have been
in the central aisle for quarter hour

Mrs Lemuel Brown was more diff
fuse. "Why, young man." she exclaim-
ed, what a whopper You weren't any

1t was nearing noon, and there was

was the only customer at the silk coun-
ter, with the exception of one old lady,
who had her back turned and was az
sorbed in choosing black silk. The cd
lady was hard 70 suit, and fully occu-
pied the attention of the single salesman
on duty. Nettie furtively drew fold
of silk over the pocketbook, and waited
a moment; it seemed to her five. Then
she glanced around to make sure that
she was unobserved. The store detective
was half the length of the aisle away,
pretending TO purchase goods, and ne
also had his back turned her way. She
slipped the pocketbook into her muff,
rose, and was moving off, when she
felt herself grabbed. mo, you don't,

while Nettie struggled to escape from
her grasp. The purse fell TO the floor
as Nettie shook herself free, and was
caught as it fell by the special officer,
who was on the spot almost instantly.
A little crowd began 10 gather, and AL
len, two aisles off, heard the hubbub
and hurried over 10 see what was the

his neighbours shoats in his hog pen. I'm
