UNMENTiONABLE MYSTERY

There were several articles of
wearing apparel that it's not ne.
cessary to mention in a suit case
Officer Charles Rolf unearthed in a
building in course of construction
near Il. II. Stantcn's establishment
on Bernard street. There were
also some clothes and hat mixed
In the wad encased in the yellow
satchel. In the minds of the
sleuths there Is little doubt but
that someone has been robbed, but
the thief was disappointed in his
prize.

ANOTHER MANS HOUSE

ANOTHER MANS HOOSE ~
It was the very thing little Mrs.
George had been talking about thy
night before:
Nobody knows how l hate III
she had cried, pickering he1
smooth forehead. "Out of bed be
fore daylight-getting 1, breakfast
in a freezing kitchen-burnine
your waists-spoiiing your hands
with dish water-bjully1ng grocery
boys-Oh, George, we're, toe
young and tender to take care OF
ourselves. Why doesn't somebody
adopt us!"
And George, gazing about their
by 10 living room. could but echo
her words. i
So, when Mr.. George came home
with the Kingmans' proposition
they were radiant with delight.
The Kingmans were a childless
old couple who lived In big
house and had more servants. than
the Geofgies had rooms in Their
fiat.
Kingman was vice president OF
the bank where George worked as
an assistant bookkeeper at $25 a
week. The Kingmans were old
very old indeed to youth like the
Georges. They were tired OF llv-
ing alone in their great funky-
haunted house, and they wanted
Mr.. and Mrs. George to come and
live with them Would they?
Would they!
Little Mrs. George laughed aloud
at the absufdity of the question.
Then she and Georgia spent sew
eral happy hours packing their
more intimate belongings. The
next day George found another
bank clerk, married even more re-
Gently than he. who jumped at the
chance to move into their furnished
apartment; and that evening they
were installed in one of the King
mans guest suites.
For several weeks life for the
Georges was dream. Every
morning they had to pinch each
other to make sure they were real
ly awake and preparing for a
breakfast, about which they knew
nothing until they were at the
table. Every night after reaching
their own rooms they exclaimed to
each other about the charm OF
some new and unfamiliar dish at
dinner.
BY the end of the second month
they knew the cooks achievements
so we'll that surprises were infrf-
quent. They also knew just WHAT
stories Mr.. Kingman told at certain
points during the dinner. and just
what excuses the well-upholstered
Mrs. Kingman would make when
she forgot the trump or failed to
return her partners lead. BY an
other week they realized they had
settled into a rut and that this rut
was not of their own demarkation.
but that which the Kingmans had
worn by many years of travel along
the same easy routes.
Mrs. Georges hands recovered
their old whitenessff1 but she would
have welcomed the old burns and
Fuckers for an opportunity to get
into the kitchen and devise some
of the dishes with which she used
to surprise the homecoming
Georgia. Even the viands of a
chef, they found, may in time grow
monotonous. 1t was the same with
bridge. Half dozen rubbers every
evening left them hating the very
sight of the spotted pasteboards.
One Saturday afternoon George
came home with all his old buoy
ancy restored. At the door he.
with difficulty, smoothed his youth
full countenance to a semblanoe OF
the sober lines it had recently
learned to wear. "Ive bad news
for you, dearie," he told his wife,
