 Miss Saygers.
 A possible clue to the recent billy cop outrage-the kidnapping and attempted drowning of the "sllent policeman of the Main and Railroad street corner may be discerned i'll the apparent revela- tion that billy cop had wife all the time he was supposed to be alone in the world. No suspicion that such a relationship existed until Ms. billy cop showed up here unexpectedly, Wednes- day afternoon. circumstance that gives rise to the theory that there was a skeleton in the billy cop closet, and that he was pursued aud overtaken by an averaging Nemesis.
 Just why Mrs. billy cop should have come first to the rooms of Miss Saygers. the visiting nurse, in the Canfield Block. instead of going directly to the Brewer barn, where billy is convalesc- ing, with his head off, is a puzzle-un- less she was under the impression that Miss Saygers was taking care of him and she hoped to get line on his condi- tion before appearing to him. It's all eDcCulhblOns dhy way ID SiiO HWd5 dn dumb as billy himself, and Miss Say gers couldn't get a word out of her, even about the fall styles in millinery. She was decidedly informal visitor. Nobody in the block saw her come in, and nobody saw her go out
 This is how it was: Miss Saygers re- turned to her room, after professional call, and was astonished, on entering. to see the form of we'll dressed woman sitting awkwardly at her table. The face was closely yelled and not feature conld be seen. Miss Saygers greeted the stranger in her usual cheery man. ner, but got no response.
 'tAre you ill. Madam?" inquired the nurse, assuming professional air.
 Still no response. Coming closer, Miss Saygers observed indications that made her suspicious. She noticed that the clothes in which the strange lady was dressed bore striking resemblance to her own best garments, which she had left hanging Tn her wardrobe. Still closer inspection revealed the fact that her own Sunday hat was on the silent woman's head; Miss Saygers' own auto veil was draped over the mysterious one's face. It was plain that the woman, whoever she was, had Miss Saygers' clothes on, and the con sviction forced itself, that she had en- tered the room surTeptitiously- ly--the door having been left unlocked, for kleptomaniacal purposes.
 But Miss Saygers didn't faint, nor scream nor indulge in any of those hysterical speciaities that are supposed to go with a situation of that kind. Not much. AS her eyes caught a glimpse of the placard in the visitor lap, inscribed, "Mrs. Billy Cop" she smiled audibly, and as an echo to that smile she distinctly heard suppressed giggle, or chorus of giggles, in an ad. jacent apartment. Then she proceeded \ to forcibly disrobe her caller, and found other evidences of kleptomania. The woman had one of Miss Saygers' pil lows hidden in her ample bosom, and two others in her hip pockets.
 To cut the tragic story short, by the time Miss Saygers had re.possessed her self of all of her own property that was concealed about the person of Mrs. billy cop, the strange woman had disap peared together--vanished as com pletely as billy cop himself had done It seems to run in the billy cop family to vanish hIcompletely.
 Miss Saygers has her suspicious al to the identity of the parties or parJi esses who installed the mysterious wo man in her apartments, but like tht prudent young lady that she is, sht names no names, and even scorns Clint Roraback's suggestion that she nigh get whole lot of information by offer ing $100 reward. She bides her ow1 time, confident that some time, some where, somebody will let word droI that will confirm her suspicious as tC the slick costumer who introduced thu woman that was not seen entering tht block, and was not seen going out of it
