but when 1 was looking around in a de-
partment store in Philadelphia a few
weeks ago 1 saw a woman worth look
ing at twice. I'm telling you she was
dainty and handsome. and perhaps sine
saw me heaving Il sigh over my lost
youth. At any Tate, as 1 stood looking
over the articles on the bargain counter
l found her at my elbow with a smile
on her lips. Perhaps she was going to
observe that IL 1 would get 4 divorce and
turn the wheels OF time back fifteen years
she'd consider my case but before she
got around to 1t one of the girl en-
ployes Of the store stepped up and asked
her II she'd go back to the office for a
minute. She promptly said she would.
and away they went, and a floorwalker
winked at me and said:
We've been watching her for three
months and / think we've got her dead
to rights this time"
7 understood then that she was a shop
litter, and, though have no sympathy
for criminals, I did feel bit sorry for
that woman. 1 hung around for awhile
about ten minutes she showed up. The
store manager was with her making all
sorts of apologies, and the girl detective
who had walked her to the office looked
as il she wanted the earth to open up
and swallow her. 1 saw that she had
cleared herself, and presently I left the
store and took Market street car. It
was only after I sat down that dis
covered a strange parcel in my overcoat
pocket. 1t contained three new pairs of
kid gloves, two lace handkerchiefs. and
a tie. and it didn't need much figuring
on my part to know how the parcel got
in my pocket. Suspecting she was shad-
owed, the dainty little woman crowded
up to me and got rid of her plunder. She
hadn't nerve enough to follow me and re-
claim the parcel, and / didn't have nerve
TO return 1t to the store. / dropped It
on the. street after lsaving the car, and
