the sound of the sobbing voice of a
woman-and I'm thinking right now"
(there was twinkle in the eyes
across the table) that the voice was
that of Alice Clement"
She paused, and once again she was
the simple little woman, listening to
the music of an after-the-theater or
chestra. She tapped her fingers idly
on the table to the rhythm of the song,
and there came the smile that has
made her famous in the police world
of Chicago.
"And that was the making Of little
me-" she said with a laugh. II found
out that night that while my work
might have been crude, / had the in
stinct of detective in me. The next
day I went to the police station. l
learned that the second hand shop had
been raided, that the Jews had been
arrested and with them ten other
men. I learned also that something
like $4,000 worth of loot had been re-
covered, and then-well, then ! went
down into the cell to see the man
whose memory had caused it all.

KEEP THE GARDEN
FIT ALL WINTER

seWho loves his garden, keeps his
Eden," the Hollyhock Woman heard
a voice say as she bent and united
the paper wrappings around her late
chrysanthemums. She knew it was
the tall clergyman who preached in a
little church in the woods at the edge
of the village.
Good morning to you," she said.
eff you had not seen my chrysanthe-
NUNS in bloom, would you have be-
lieved that / could keep them alive
until after the middle Of the month? :?
ct is hope and faith that keep the
soul alive" said the aged preacher.
1T is my experience that 1t is better
to find the secret of perennial hop
ing when one is young than to dis
cover gold mine. The first win re-
man with you, and you can get pleas
ure from your garden although winter
is lowering; but the second may be
stolen and spent and you will have
nothing left but vain regrets"
"I like to keep some plants alive
in my garden all the year around, !"
returned the Hollyhock Woman, hand
ing him bouquet "The common
pansies, the sweet alyssum, the
mints and verbenas will stay late If
they have little shelter. The hardy
chrysanthemums, the artemisias,
seem to enjoy the cold.'
"They have fine fragrance, too.
But I see you do not leave them un-
protected. Those barrel slaves
shield them splendidly from the wind,
the newspapers make a thick blanket
at night, and / can believe that your
heaps of dried leaves and twigs from
the woods have a purpose. Because
you care. have brought you a pres
ent.''
The aged preacher handed it to her
over the fence. 1t was small plant
with evergreen foliage, growing in q
clod OF earth as large as her head.
Glistening white buds we're beginning
to uncurl.
"How lovely; oh, how lovely!" she
cried. What is it?'

stands, it viii never know that It was

er Of good-cheer. because I have
found its blossoms on the darkest
days of December"
Then the aged preacher put on his
broad brimmed hat and passed around
the corner before the surprised Holly
hook Woman had time to thank him
properly. she heard the village clock
strike and she knew it was near the
hour for the train to take her to the
city. Quickly taking her coat, after
she had planted the Christmas Rose
in hole she had dug FOR crown-im-
perials, she followed the path across
lots to the station. passing the
