Eair Enehanao. Yot a Robbery


While Gustaye Dore was at Ischl
and wandering about the mountains
he became much interested in a coun-
try wedding and sketched it on the
spot. He put the sketch into book
into the pocket of his paletot and went
back to the hotel to dinner. After din
ncr he looked for the sketch. 1t was
gone. Angry at the theft, the artist
called the landlord and made com
plalnt, but no trace Of the book was
found From Isch Dore went to vi
emma, and there he found a letter and
parcel awaiting him, The letter,
which was anonymous, read thus
"Sr stole your book at Ischl The
sketch was so charming that l could
not resist the temptation of having 1t

well y0u would never consent to sell

The Gilmore bank had just put Ia a
new safe and vault. Mr.. Adams was
very proud Of It and insisted on an in

a small one, but It had n new patented

bolts thrown simultaneously with sin

Adams beamlngly explained It's work

courteous but not too intelligent inter

were delighted by the shining metal
and funny clock and knobs.
While they were thus engaged Ben
Price sauntered IN and leaned on his
elbow, looking casually inside between
the raillugs. He told the teller that he
didn't want anything; he was just wait

suddenly there was a scream or two
from the women and commotion.

Annabel turned to Jimmy, her large
eyes full OF anguish, but not yet de-

quite impossible to the powers Of the

He looked at her with a queer soft

He set his suit case on the table and
opened it out fat. From that time on
he seemed to be unconscious of the
presence Of any one else He laid out
the shining, queer implements swiftly
and orderly, whlstling softly to him
self, as he always did when at work.
In a deep silence and immovable the
others watched him as If under a spell.

At the door a big man stood some

his strange smile, Got around at

strangely,

one day Jimmy sat down in his room
and wrote this letter, which he mailed
to the safe address of one of his old
friends in ST. Louis
Dear Old PAIL want you to be at Sulli-
vans place, In Little Rock, next Wednes-
day night at o'clock l want you to
wind up some little matters for me. And,

me, and l wouldn't do another crooked
thing for the whole world. Be sure to be
at Suilys, for / must see you Ill bring
along the tools with me, Your old friend
JIMMY.
On Monday night after Jimmy wrote
this letter, Ben Price logged unobtru-
sively into Gilmore In livery buggy.
He lounged about town in his quiet
way until lie found out what he want
ed to know. From the drug store across
the street from Spencers shoe store
he got a good look at Ralph d. Spen

"Going to marry the bankers daugh-
ter, are you, Jimmy?" said Ben to him
self softly. "Well, don't know|
The next morning Jimmy took break
fast at the Adamses. He was going to
Little Rock that day to order his wed
ding suit and buy something nice for
Annabel. That would be the first time
he had left town since he came to FL

now since those last professional

venture out.
After breakfast quite family party
went downtown together-Mr. Adams.

sister with her two little girls, aged
FIVE and nine They came by the ho-
tel where Jimmy still boarded, and he
ran up to his room and brought along
his suit case. Then they went on to
the bank. There stood Jlmmy's horse
and buggy and Dolph Gibson, who was
going to drive him over. to the railroad
station.
All went inside the high, carved oak
ratings into the banking room. Jimmy
