You are Just in time to help me-
she told him. do you remember the
story of that daring bank robbery In
New Orleans 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 1t at the
time with Jasper Grierson, and had
wondered curiously how the president
of the Farmers and Merchants would
deport himself under like conditions.

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

shock Of surprise when one OF them

Associated Press dispatch giving 20

The reading of the bit of stale news

details of the New Orleans bank rob

Raymer left the library specializing
vaguely on the unaccountable tan

could now and then fly off from the
well-defned 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

as he crossed the street to the Manu-
facturers' club. miss Grierson isn't

YOUTHFUL CRITICS
VIEW ART EXHIBIT
School Children Look Over the
Pictures and Comment on Their
Glass and Value.
AUTHORITY ON PRICE SPEAKS

A thousand pairs Of Juvenile feet
ran up and down the white marble
stairs at the Fontenelle hotel on
Wednesday and over the rich carpets
and clattered about the big ball
room, where the art exhibition is go
ing on.
Unawed by the magnificence which
surrounded them, unterrified by the
stern glsnces of maids and bellboys,
they studied art.
They were there from the Kellom
school to study art That is why
they studied 1t. Kind teachers had
brought them on invitation of the
Omaha Society Of Fine Arts to sow
little seed in the callow soil of their
minds which, some day, may sprout
and bring forth Whistlers. Corots
and Michael Angeles.
Picking Their Pictures.
Each child was instructed to pick out
the picture which ne or she liked best.
They will be called on TO write the rea-
sons for their liking and alas, they won't
be able to fall back on that subterfuge OF
their elders at art exhibits who can and
do say There's something about that
picture-I don't know-an elusive some
thing-a sort of-er-you know-that
makes me like IT," Johnnie and Albertlne
must give reasons.
Three coiored youths sat on a luxurious
divan programs in hand They were ap-
preached with the query whether they
had picked out the picture they liked best.
All had and strange to say, all had
picked pictures In the same corner Of
the room. One expressed a Ebeat liking
for "IIazy Morning on FNifty-nintn
Street which is owned by Mrs John l..
Webster. The second liked "A summer
Night which is a most bizarre picture.
And the third said he likes that one
there next TO the dago." He pointed to
a picture Of four children picking berries
which hangs next to "A Dutchman."
