Mrs. Atwood Fothergirl raised her

who had answered her ring.

pouring into bis ears q disjofnted story
Of the heinous o~ffenses of the fugitive.
Mr.. Dawkey was still In sight far
down the block. The automobile was
drawing nigh. the chauffeur beginning
to sit up and. notice that something
was going on. and the policeman de-
cided to commander the machine and
pursue his assailant-
He had heard of such things being
done by thief catchers of the detec-
tive bureau. and this surely was O
time for desperate measures.
Hey. youir he shouted to the chauf-
feur as he rushed to the car. Get a
move en- you and help me catch that
guyl Come on now-speed her up"
The chauffeur, galvanized into ac-
ton by the command and with the lust
for a man hunt that the best of us
have at times. waited only to see that
the policeman was scrambling into the
tonneau before he threw on all the
speed that his engine carried and sent
the machine bounding ahead on the
chase.
At the second corner the fleeing
footman glanced back. and as he saw
the CLEAN of the shield and the but
IONS on the coat of the policeman,
standing In the car like Washington
crossing the Delaware. he realized that
strategy must give place to lcere speed
If he was to escape,
He turned the corner and in his
haste paid no heed to an automobile
fire engine that was rushing through
the cross street at forty miles an hour.
Bells were changing. whistles were
footing. many people were running.
and Mr.. Dawkey with his dog was
quite ~unnoticed In the press.
A few seconds later there was add
tional reason for his being ignored in
the presence of more interesting spec
tacles when the rushing motorcar,

engine as It turned the corner. over

wheels and wrecked machinery and

Then before the jumbled CONVERSE

take form he slipped into the passage
way between two buildings, opened q

the close clipped lawn of the Atwood
