Young Mrs. Sanderson came slowly down the stairs clad in q beautiful white satin gown.
 Going away againY' asked her hus- band wearily. putting down his paper.
 'Yes. Jack" sue replied; tonight there is 8 meeting of the Woman's Rights club. It's very important meeting too. We're going to elect new president. and the contest is be- tween Mrs. Albert and myself. You will wish me good luck. won't you. dear?' she cried, putting her arms | around his neck.
 Laura said her husband slowly. you know l want you to have all the | good luck in the world. But of what use are al! these clubs? You belong to at least five The literary club is all right: that does you great deal of good And Judge Lander told me i today that your visits to the juvenile court could hardly be dispensed with. He said that you had reformed several apparently incorrigfble young men, Those are the kind of occupations you should like. You have gone to three | card clubs this week. and they do good to DO one. Tn fact, you get no pleas l ure from cards unless you win. And you go more and more every week" Here he paused. breathless after his long speech.
 His wife arose and leaned against ! the mantei. looking at him in dismay.
 -Jsckr'-she said in a surprised voice. "Jack"- She stopped. not knowing what to say in reply to an argument which in the depths of her soul she knew to be right.
 .why don't you stay at home some. times and take care of James instead of leaving him entirely with the nucse:" continued Mir. Sanderson. with considerable spirit. You are forget ting how 10 keep house. What's be- come of the hundred and one little | plans that used to engage your time for our mutual entertainment? Things | are different now"
 His wife swept out of the room without a word. She paused at the front door.
 "Goodby. Jack" she called softly.
 "Goodby, Laura" said her husband. If you don't find me here when you | return don't be worried"
 About 10 o'clock that night the front door of the Sanderson mansion slowly opened. A well built man ci.1a in evening dress and crs...rying a silk hat entered the nan. He walked quietly through the deserted rooms until he came to the library, where small light was burning.
 He slipped a gleaming little auto matic pistol into a convenient pocket and went lightly up the stairs.
 The clock on the library mantel had just struck the quarter after 10 when the burglar again entered the room In bis hands lay a glittering mass Of precious stones.
 My. what beauty"' he cried and then looked around apprehensiyeiy lest be had been heard. The object of his admiration was magnificent ruby set in simple gold band. Sud- denly he seemed to crumple up. and he sank into the great leather chair which stood before the table.
 What's the use of all tbis?' he ex- claimed in listless voice.
 AS he lay there. his eyes closed in reverie. the warning was being flashed far and wide over glistening copper wires that Gentleman Jim, the fa- nous thief. was at work and had been seen in Philadeiphia.
 Gentleman Jim tossed the jewels back on the table. One alone he held in his hand, and that was the great ruby. His head sank forward. and he stared at the stone with a gaze of , infinite tenderness.
 |, Suddenly there was a noise as of a door opening. and the thief whirled around. his pistol gleaming in his hand. There before the door stood Mrs. Sanderson. leveling a revolver at
 his head. She looked superb with her
 head thrown back and her eyes gieam-
 ing with unaccustomed brightness. i, ''Sit down." she commanded calmly.
 ''and lay that gun on the table" Gentleman Jim glanced around the , room and took a step forward. Her pistol clicked suggestively. and. giving
 a slight laugh. he dropped the revolver and sat down
 | Mrs. Sanderson walked slowly to- ward the telephone. debating in her
 mind whether she should call for the police or wait until Jack returned. rl May l smoke?" asked the thief as he saw her go toward the instrument. Sure it isn't a gunT queried his
 captor suspiciously.
 Gentleman Jim smiled and pulled
 out package of cigarettes Mrs
 Sanderson looked at him thoughtfully : Why wouldn't it be a good scheme . to treat him as we do prisoners in the juvenile courts?" she asked herself. T will" she decided and turned
