person in their employ, but mystifed

Of clues, the company has set in mo-

that has ever been cut up. and the
total value of ten stones taken from
It was $4,000. Five of the diamonds
were sold by Tiffany to well-known
New York people last Christmas. OF
the remaining five the company now
has cnly two.
The robbery was committed in the
workshop on the Afternoon Of Thurs

She forced the satchel upon him and

man, solicitously, yet coldly.
Without answering she checked
him. and, throwing her arms about his
neck, forced his head down to hers.
She was laughing. "Oh. but you are

He drew her to him, passionately

she pushed him away and taking his

American cities are far too old, too

their sordid disregard of beauty. That
they have begun to draft plans for
comprehensive Identification is sign
that civic pride Is not wholly wanting.
The people are beginning to realize
that their cities are here to stay and
that the utility Of beauty should not
be neglected. When they are finally

is profitable. in dollars and cents,
