Sunday there was not one more lone
some than Annie Nelson until Henry
Wanko politely introduced himself to
her and proposed TO serve as her es-
cCTt. Taking his proffered arm, Annie
meandered on the sands and confiding-
ly told him much about herself-of
how she lately came from Sweden and
is now employed as a hotel waitress,
and Of how some unidentified thief had
entered her room at 412 Hyde street
while she slept and stolen her hard
earned savings.
Lucky girl" exclaimed Henry. dis
playing a small nickel-plated star and
pompcusly tapping it. 4 am detec-
tive, and it would afford me indescrib-
able pleasure TO gratuitously undertake
the task Of recovering your stolen
money"
Annies gratitude was unbounded.
"Ay am yoost too loocky TO lave" she
murmured.
Lead me to the scene of the rob-
berry said Henry. and I'll find a clew

he is to be found he stated to the

identify him I'll have him in jail within
an hour. But don't leave your purse
here, as there may be other thieves

manded the driver to stop the vehicle,
and, requesting Annie TO await his re-
turn, he disembarked for the osten-
sible purpose of ascertaining whether
the thief who had robbed her was in
a certain saloon. That was the last
Of Henry seen by Annie until yester-
day morning, when Judge Cabaniss
heard her story and sentenced Henry
to three moths in the County Jail.

her home. 4s5 Eddy street, he had bor-
rowed her watch and since failed to
return it. although he had made an
appointment TO meet her the following

piled Nettie.
