DAPPER YOUTH CHEATS
TOO OBLIGING JANITOR
He Wanted to Get Some Things
in a Hurry-He Got
Them

Speed is everything In some cases. es-
pecially a few minutes before O'Clock,
just before business begins. At that time
today well-dressed and sprightly young
man, twirling a light bamboo cane might
have been seen hurrying along German
town avenue in the direction of Chelten
avenue. Add self-confidence to that speed
and you have the complete essentials for
the particular feat he was to accomplish.
There came a knock and then an inn
perious ring at the front door of the de-
partment store Of James S. Jones g. Co,
which, it being not yet o'clock, was not
open for business. The janitor came
rumbling along the quiet aises, iingling
his KEYS. He was an old man and trust
ing and faithful soul. He peered out
through the glass doors, being a very
cautious. though trusting man. and saw
a well-dressed and sprightly young man,
twirlng a light bamboo cane and biting
his finger nails in nervous and well-bred
impatience.
The ianitor opened the door and the
youth tripped in. He spoke rapidly, in
English:
81 say, old ehap-frightful rush. y'know
must catch s:27 from Broad street sta
tion-must have shirts and things-en-
gagement to play golf in Newport-let me
see what " got-anything'll do"
He was so well-bred the janitor couldn't
resist him. He thought he could start a
sale. anyhow, and let one of the clerks
finish IL 80 as not to delay the hurried
golfer He was too tactful even to watch
while the youth dabbled and picked and
chose garments on the counter He went
about mis- duties and presently came back
TO ask the customer If he had got what
he wanted.
Couldn't find anything ! like--Tll try
to worry along without them-thanks
awfully, good-by." and he was off.
When the clerks came In they found
that the following articles were missing
silk shirts, best quality; socks, silk; on'
| bathrobe, neckties.
