dare this woman call herself by that
name?'
Are you my Aunt Eliza Corbin?' de-
handed Grace.
Il am Elizabeth Corbin, to be sure"
admitted the other as she withdrew
her skirts at Grace's communicating ap-
proach, but hope that it can be seen
that am not your aunt"
Mother expected you this evening.
declared Grace eagerly.
Miss Corbin started. She had writ
ten that she would arrive at half past
6. But how could this creature know?
If you will wait here 4 few min
utes l can telephone father" went on
Grace. He came il town to his bro
kers this morning. I can get him right
here
u can send an officer out to tele-
phone, miss" suggested the sergeant.
He was accustomed to reading human
character. This phone only goes to
headquarters"
The door man was sent across the
street to a drug store, and the nervous
woman returned to the attack.
You can at least arrest this young
thief" she suggested.
He is not a thief" declared Grace.
''He is Mr.. Thomas Tarbell, one of our
closest friends. 1t was to keep an ap-
pointment with me that he ran as he
did"
Nonsense" broke in the fussy old
gentleman. 81 should have recognized
my nephew"
IF you're Uncle john" broke in
Tommy, you have not seen me for
twelve years. l had just commenced
to shave then. You gave me my first
razor. 1t was safety, l remember"
Bless my heart" calculated the
nervous one, 81 never expected to find
my brothers son a thief"
Pm not" insisted Tommy. 81 was
putting my watch in my pocket"
Nonsense" insisted John Tarbell
Il saw you take the money" He had
made the declaration so often he had
begun to believe it.
There was a fresh disturbance at the
desk as a new prisoner was brought in
las suspicious person." the new po-
liceman was saying. Il caught him
burying this leather in a mail box"
My purse" gasped Miss Corbin.
THE man who called Stop thiefr ;"
calculated John Tarbell.
'Pinky' Saunders" announced the
sergeant. Il guess l don't need his
pedigree. 1 know it by heart Take
him back"
Mr.. Saunders was escorted to his
apartment in the cell block, and the
other four descended the steps, follow
ed by an apologize officer
Did you mean it-what you said
about being my fancee?' he asked as
ne dropped behind the others.
Yes" said Grace. 81 think you need
a keeper, Tommy"
81 very nearly had one furnished by
the state" he laughed, "but you said
that if l was late you would never
speak to me again"

that your watch must have been a
little fast"

the cry until he ran into a burly police
man at the corner.

the unSympathetic response. Just
wait till that lady comes up"
The victim, squirrel by a fussy old
gentleman, pushed her way through the
crowd already gathered and gaspingly
told the policeman Of how she had felt
tug at her pocketbook. Looking
down, she had found her purse gone,
and, on turning around, had seen this
apparently respectable young man stuff
something into his pocket and run to
the street.
The fussy man cOrrOborated her state
ments, and the three led the process
sion around to the Proctor street police
station.
Tommy, miserable at the thought Of
what consequences would follow his
arrest, besought the policeman to re-
lease him, implored the nervous woman
to withdraw her charge and pleaded
with the fussy old gentleman, who ap-
peared to have formed himself into an
advisory committee, to urge the woman
to grant his request.
And while he was thus employed

result that she was promptly de-

he continued to his appreciative audi

Grace shuddered as she was dragged
up to the desk in the station and the
sergeant dipped his pen and waited
for the pedigree"
"Grace Pomfret," she said evenly.

nervous women. Miss Pomfret, tn

of the Convent of the Blessed Trinity
outside Belgrade, ran sword through
the body of the faithful watchdog, and
was about to force his way into the

causing her death.
