probably been Tiddled by this time"
But, consciously flustered by the
bright, smiling eyes of the woman,
the professor jammed his hat down
over his head and started on his self
appointed quest.
He kept looking alOft as he went
down the road, but there was no sign
of the missing sheet. Before he real
lied it he was in the woods. It began
to rain, but the professor was a per-
severing man.
Aha! I've found it."
He had come to a fringe of bushes
beyond which lay a mucky stretch.
Twenty feet out, caught in a clump
of reeds and trailing in the muddy
slime, was a sheet-the sheet, of
course!
The professor had low shoes. He
thought of the lady in whose behalf
he was labOring and became reck-
less, experiencing a keen sense of
chivalric devotion He waded and
sank in the Doggy soil, but he got the
sheet. It was not torn, but the mud
had stained it and all he could do
was to wad it up in a sort of dis
reputable roll.
81 won't take it back to Mrs. Briggs
in this condition" he decided.
There's the town laundry. I'll have
it done up nicely and send ter, no,

terrain her to know how far the wind
carried it."
Several people stared broadly at
the wet, muddy and disorderly pro-
fessor. He reached the laundry. The
sheet would be all ready for him that
evening, he was informed.
It was a few minutes after eight
that evening when the professor
reached the Briggs cottage. It had

"Graciousp he uttered and shrank
back, fairly appalled,.
A beetle-browed individual occU-
pied the apartment. He had just pried
open an escritOre and had taken
thence a small lacqUeTed and worried
box. He tucked it under his arm,
picked up from the table a big re-
vOlver and started to leave the house
by the side door.
"A burglar" gasped the professor.
And I am unaTmed! He is coming.
All! a thoughtp
Quick as lightning the professor
tore open the package containing the
sheet. He grabbed up from the
ground a piece of stick. He EMBODIED
himself in the ample folds of the
sheet. Holding the fragment of wood,
against the light contrast of the
sheet resembling the barrel of a pis-
toll, as the burglar opened the door
he extended his hand.
Drop everything, or your doom is
sealed" he voiced in a deep, sepUl-
chral tone.
Ghosts yelled the burglar in a
wild scream, dropped both pistol and
box, and took to his heels. The pro-
fessor. rushed forward and secured
both. Then, not knowing why, he
pulled the trigger.
Bang, bang, bang-bang-bang,
bang!
The side door of the next house
opened. It's owner, a brawny fellow,
alarmed by the pistol shots, stood
peering all about. Following him
was his wife and Mrs. Briggs and her
two children.
There's something white moving
about the house" chartered the
mans wife.
Hey! what's all this?" challenged
her husband, advancing.

professor, removing it from his
