Il SAW A WOMAN EMERGE AND
LOCK THE DOOR BEHIND HER.

1t was ? o'clock of a still, cold morn
ing when 1 passed up the street on
which Bakers bank was situated, and
just before reached the building I saw
a woman emerge and lock the door be-
mind her. AS I caught sight of her
lodged behind pile of boxes at hand.
and peering out saw her look up and
down the street for moment before
moving on. When she started away /
followed her, and great was my surprise
to see her halt at Bakers house. four
blocks away.
1t was not until 1 reached home. and
pondered over the case a little that I
made up my mind the munied female
figure must be Mrs. Baker herself When
once this idea had come to me 1 began
to work on it, Early next morning 1
was out to look for tracks in the snow,
and very soon found those of the mid
night woman. They had been made by
small and shapely feet.
But had there been still another rob-
berry at the bank. / ran away from
school to hang around the corners and
wait for news, and before noon it was
known that another 1000 package had
been taken. The circumstances were
precisely the same. Some one had en-
tered the bank and worked the combi-
nation of the vault.
This last robbery started run on

BAKERS BANK.
IBy NJ. Quadl

IBy NJ. Quad
There had been no less than three
mysterious robberies at Bakers bank
within six months. They were mys-
FERROUS because keys had been used to
open the doors of the building, and the
combinations on vault and safe had
been worked instead of forced. No
Waterman was kept at the bank, nor
would Baker employ one.
OF course he raised a great row over
the robberies, the aggregate sum being
about $4,000, but at the same time he
could not say that he really suspected
any of the employees. At any rate he
accused no one, and the sheriff and a
detective worked for weeks and got no
clew. Naturally enough the robberies
We're the talk of the town, and as a boy
OF IA | was much excited and interested
1t fell to me, strangely enough, to clear
up the case. and people in the town are
not through talking about it yet
1t was in the winter time that the last
robbery took place, and one night a
crowd of US boys and girls drove out
into the country to a spelling school. By
accident 1 was left behind when the
party started home, and there was no
other way than to foot it back.
