for the Thief Now"
when Raymer entered-and was not
in the least dust-blinded by the library
card in his hand
"You are just in time to help me-"
she told him. DO you remember the
story of that daring bank robbery in
New Orleans a few weeks ago?-the
one in which man made the presi-
dent draw check and get it cashed
for him."
Raymer did remember it, chiefly be-
cause he had talked about it at the
time with Jasper Grierson, and had
wondered curiously how the president
of the Farmers and Merchants would
deport himself under like conditions.
IF you should meet the man face to
face, would you recognize him from
the description she flashed I'D at
Raymer
"Not in thousand years." he con-
fessed. "Would your
mo; not from the description" she
admitted. Then she passed to mat

Didn't l see Miss Farnham's re-

that Miss Grierson had not heard of

mer answered in good faith.
They came up as far as St. Louis on
one of the Anchor line-the Belle Ju-
leland even Miss Gilman admits
that the accommodations were excel
lent"
She nodded absently and began to
turn the leaves of the newspaper file.
Raymer took it as his dismissal and
went to the desk to get the orchid
book. When he looked in again on his
way to the street, Miss Grierson had
gone, leaving the file of the Pioneer
Press open on the reading desk. AL
most involuntarily he glanced at the
hrst-page headings, thrilling to little
shock of surprise when one of them
proved to be the caption of another
Associated Press dispatch giving a 20
line story of the capture and second
escape of the Bayou State Security
robber on the levee at St. Louis.
The reading of the bit of stale news
impressed him curiously. Why had
Miss Margery interested herself in the
details of the New Orleans bank rob-
berry? Why-with no apparent spe-
c1al reason-should she have remem-
bered it at all-or, remembering it,
have known where to look for the
two newspaper references?
Raymer left the library specializing
vaguely on the unaccountable tan
gents at which the feminine mind
could now and then fly off from the
well-defined circle of the convention
ally usual. On rare occasions his
mother or Gertrude did it, and he had
long since learned the folly of trying
to reduce the small problem to terms
of known quantities masculine.
Just the same, I'd like to know
why, this time," he said to himself,
as he crossed the street to the Manu-
facturers' club. Miss Grierson isn't
at all the person to do things without
an object"
