he WAS searched the glove with it's ring
was brought to light.
''One of those Raff1es chaps, was
the srinning comment OF his captor.
II III bet that sparkler is worth $500
One of the wardnlen stepped for
ward. THAT is the ring Miss Lenhart
lost he declared eagerly. Her ia
Their telephoned headquarters an hour
ago, and al alarm was sent out They
think one Of the walters ut the Colwell
ball stole it.
''This chap looks like waiter" sug-
gested the policeman, surveying Gro
ver's battered face. "Guess we'll hold
him"
They laughed at his request that
various influential persons be sent for.
It was then / o'clock i'll the morning,
and the sergeant would not call any
one out OF bed to come to the relief OF
a waiter who had been found fighting
in Bloody alley so they confscated
the ring and thrust him into cell
with scant ceremony
For the rest OF the night Grover
paced the narrow limits of the cell OF
sat on the edge of the iron bunk and
thought. He had heard Of men who
had gone to prison and had concealed
that fact It would be good idea in
his case. 1t would be better to pass
three months in Jail and give it out
that he had gone abroad than to face
the jeers OF the fellows, and when
in the morning Laura came to the sta
fore Grover was taken to court he
stood silent while she sought to iden-
tify him as one of the walters.
With his blackened eyes and cut lips
it was difficult to tell what he looked
like, and she turned away with shake
of her head. Growers heart leaped as
he realized that so far his scheme had
worked successfully Now all he would
have to do would be to plead guilty
and take his three months sentence.
But his hopes were dashed by Laura s
next remark
+ will the man get a long SENTENCED"
''Not very long," was the careless re-
can make out, it's his first offense, and
he'll get off with five or six years.
1t was too much. Grover started for
ward. Laura" he called. The girl
turned in establishment, while her father
made step forward as If to resent the
familiarity Don't you recognize me?''
he pleaded. Don't mention my name,
but for heavens sake let me see you
for moment in private!"
"Where?" she asked uncertainty.
There's the captains room, MISS
suggested the detective. "If you need
help I'm right here Just call"
AS the door closed on them the girl
turned. Lloyd" she asked curiously,
what does this mean?"
II didn't steal your ring" he said
desperately Il did steal your glove
The ring stuck in one of the fingers,
and never found it out till got to the
club. | was wandering around trying
to find some way of getting it back to
you when some rough tried to hold me
up. Only thinking Of the ring, I went
for him and just had him beaten when
they arrested me. Then they found the
ring, and you know the rest"
"But what ON earth did you want Of
the glover" she asked. eff you want
ed one I would have given it to you"
Il couldn't ask" he stammered
Don't you know? Don't you under
stand? l mean-well, when a fellow
loves a girl he doesn't dare do lot of
things. I've coveted that glove ever
since you wore it at the Gordons ball
last winter. That was the first time l
knew that 1 loved you. My love made
me coward. I could no more ask for
the glove than 1 could have asked for
your heart"
yet you might have had both for the
asking" she said tenderly
