"Don your tweeds and your bow
Ter hat" said Cocksure Combes to
his friend, DR.. Snobson, 1--WE are
going to a swell wedding"
Although he wondered greatly,
Snobson complied, and mutely fol-
lowed his mentor until they enter
ed an awning stretched across the
sidewalk and signs of festivity in
side. Without laying aside their
hats or canes they mingled with
the guests who were strolling
about in evening dress.
"Why are We here?" asked DR..
Snobson, for Cocksure had not
vouchsafed any explanation.
1--WE are here because we're
here, because we're here" re-
piled Combes mysteriously.
Are we to keep our eyes open?'
then inquired Snobson.
Certainly" was the incisive an
swer.
In the room where the presents
were they had good reason to
keep their eyes open. A middle
aged man in a very ill-fitting dress
suit was wandering about aim
lessly. so it seemed. He did not
look like a bona fide wedding
guest. His hands were dark and
his neck showed white where II
had been shaved for the first time
in long time. He had large feet.
Now and again he yawned or else
stopped to pick up a gift, weighing
1t in his hand as IL wondering how
much it was worth. No one spoke
to him.
"If we are here to guard the
gifts" whispered DR.. Snobson, I'VE
had best get busy"
do not betray your ignorance,
nluttered Cocksure. THAT person
is all right. That is one of tinker
tons men here for the same pur-
pose. How clumsily he acts the
part of a society man-you can
spot a Jinkerton every time"
And, laughing, Cocksure drifted
with his friend into the ballroom,
where there might be few pick
pockets attempting to ply their
trade.
Ten minutes later there was a
hue and cry. The $4,000 pearl
necklace given to the bride by her
lpapa was missing. So was the
big-footed man in the ilI-fitting
dress suit. "Why didn't you neck
him?" howled the brides papa.
Wasn't that man one of tinker
tons menu" feebly gasped Cock
sure.
"Of course mott" roared the
host. 81 hired only you to guard
the stuff"
Marvellous" said DR.. Snobson,
"mar-." But the brides papa
kicked him out before he could
finish.
