AMATEUR SLEUTHS nab
BOLD negro FOOTPAD
Disguised in HObbIG Skirts
They Turned Trick

New York, February 6.-Solution of
the presence in the quiet little hamlet
of Keyport of three wonderfully
gowned and somewhat oyerbedizened
creatures" as the honest Jersey vii
layers called them, came yesterday
to the entire satisfaction Of the com
munity
Residents who met one or another
of the trio in the streets Saturday
night wondered what Keyport was
coming to. 1t was unheard of-to say
scandal-for a patriarch of the vii
lage on his way home with The Sun
day groceries to be "ogled" by a crea,
ture in a peach basket hat, as was
the case Saturday night
Some of the frivolous young men
told of having met two other stun
ners" wearing hobble skirts All
three carried chatelaine bags, which
they swung airily as they promenad-
ed along the residential streets.
Many Women Held Up.
Keyport had only one other Incl
dent in its history more disqueting
and that concerned it tremendously
because of the menace to the commun-
ity A daring thief had held up
women at night, Selling their pocket
books, terrifying them with threats
and thrawting all efforts at capture.
Among the latest victims of the thief
were Mrs Thomas Walling, Miss
Frances Sproul, Miss May Boca and
Miss Myrtle Walling.
1t was remarked by many citizens
Saturday night that the owners IF
the chatelaine bags and glad" clothes
would be fair game for the thief if he
encountered them.
They found themselves during then
promenading in the streets where the
thief had made several hold-ups. In
fact, Miss PeachbasketT left the
other two and sauntered alone neal
Church and Cross streets. While thus
unaccompanied, a big negro, lying II
wait behind a tree sprang upon Miss
''Peachbasket," and tried to grab the
chatelaine bag.
You're the woman IN looking for,
the negro snarled.
You're the man I'm looking for,
came the response in stentorian tones

desperate struggle, sounds of whicf

The negro said he was Henry John
son, aged forty. His captors who had
masqueraded in feminine attire were
three young Keyport athletes, George

capture the thief.
News Of the capture spread through
out the village yesterday and more
than 200 citizens assembled in the
town hall when Johnson was arraign-

Peace A. NJ. Walling.

"RouQhinq It,"

Girls who have had little experience
In outdoor life often do some foolish
Things when they begin to try this
form OF enjoyment One way In which
many of them interfere with their own
comfort is by going on a tramp with
the wrong kind OF shoes.
A girl who has played tennis and
FOUND the soft, rubber soled shoes
comfortable will think that they will
surely help her to enjoy a tramp: but
they are the last thing to wear for a
long walk. as these girls have found
to their cost. They come home with
their feet aching and the calves OF the
legs tired out from the lack of the
spring that Is given by heels. Walk.
Ing with fiat. heelless shoes on a
rough road is extremely trying, and
one can feel every stone through the
soft rubber soles; and these tired foot
and legs will feel even worse the next
day.
Quite as bad as the tennis shoes arc

neels. These tire the feet and NAV
sprain the ankles. The onlv shoeo
