Good night, Miss Moloof." Mrs. Ep-
pingwel was royal even in defeat.
Freda reciprocated, though barely
downing the impulse to clasp the 9TH

not forgiveness, but something she
knew not what, but which she none the
less greatly desired.

Vanderlip replenished the fire, and by
the time the maid had withdrawn to
an inner room, his head over the stove,
he was busily thawing out his bur-

a cigarette and watched her lazily
through the fragrant eddies. She stole
a glance at the clock. It lacked half
an hour of midnight. How was she to

Property Found on Criminals.

"The question as TO what final dis.
position is made of money and jewelry
found in the possession of criminals
was frequently asked me when l was
on the force two years ago" said an
eX-captain OF the New York police
force "As rule, everything found
upon an arrested criminal which obvi-
ously is not his lawful property is held
in trust, as it were, by the police for
possible claimants. If no claimants
turn up the property is returned to the
criminal on being released from his
term of imprisonment, provided the
commissioner of police is perfectly sat
isfied that the property actually does
belong TO him.
IF the commissioner has reasons to
think otherwise, however, the articles,
often valuable, are held indefinitely or
until it is certain that they will never
be claimed by their rightful owners,
when the stuff is finally disposed of
and the proceeds handed over to bene-
fit one or another of the various police
funds.
"There are certain things, however,
which the police never return to those
on whom they have been found, such
as burglariZing tools, firearms, gam
bling devices, begging letters-any-
thing, in fact, that might be used by
criminals again in their nefarious oc-
equations"
