give few details, though he seems to have
retained strong general impression, due
to the fact that she was superior to the aver
age run. of his customers; and he declared
to see her again. However, when shown a
photograph of Miss Hoyt, he at first identi-
fled it as the girl who had visited his shop;
then, when told that Miss Hoyt's hair was
red, he said he must be mistaken about the
picture, as he was sure the girl who pawned
the jewelry was decided blonde. He in
sists that she had very light hair and wore
large black hat. She wore filrs too, he re-
calls, because her large muff lay on the show
case while she was arranging for the loan.
The name and address given to kaplan
by the girl have been found to be fictitious.
This fact is without significance. however,
as few persons give their correct name at
pawn-shops.
Mrs. Otison, aunt of the missing girl, and
her guardian, William Rosser, were greatly
disturbed when the representative of the
Record informed them of his discovery.
Accompanied by Miss Hoyt's maid, Su-
zanne Ripet, they went to Kaplan's shop,
where Mrs. Otison and the maid identified
the jewelry. When asked if she had any
idea who the girl could have been if not
Miss Hoyt, Mrs. Otison said she had not.
Both she and Mr.. Rosser said they con-
sidered the discovery extremely alarming,
and Mrs. Otison became almost hysterical.
at is preposterous,' said Mr.. Rosser, "to
suppose Miss Hoyt reduced to such an ex-
tremity to secure money. Had she left
home of her own accord, as we have so far
assumed, she would hardly have done so
without providing herself with ample funds
for whatever project she had in mind. While
she has always been highly impusive, she
has never been impractical nor irresponsible.
1t was this certainty that caused me to in
form the police of her disappearance as soon

| want to find out something about Bob
bic Hoyt's home conditions, and that's
the sort of thing servant, particularly
lady's maid, would know. So I've ar
ranged to see her here at seven o'clock.
| made it here because it's convenient to
the Office, and because l want you to see
her too. You may get an impression that
would not occur to me-"
He paused an instant; then, feeling
that the unwonted compliment called for
explaining, he said:
"You did the other day. You suggested
something l should not have thought of
that the girl seen on Fifth Avenue was
somebody wearing red wig to make her
look like Miss Hoyt. Of course that's
ridiculous, but it gave me a good idea,
which is that the girl who pawned the
jewelry was Miss Hoyt herself wearing
blond wig"
Strikes me as pretty far-fetched,"
said I.
"Not at all. Everything bears it out.
To begin with, Kaplan identified the pic
ture of Miss Hoyt as the girl he had seen
until the question of hair came up. He
was sure the girl he saw had yellow hair
you couldn't shake him on that point,
even though he had to back down about
the photograph. Another thing: Miss
Hoyt was considered very good amateur
actress, was in lots of things for charity,
and it would have been natural for her to
hit on some such theatrical scheme to
avoid detection. Anyhow, the idea is
worth investigating, and thought you
might help me by going round to the hair
shops in that locality"
"To find out if any of them sold yell

finished, laughing at the thought of the
mystification such trip would cause the
man who was trailing me.
But Tai was dead serious. Stumbling
on that jewelry had been lucky hit for
him; for, though his name had not APP
peared, the newspaper world credited him
with the find, and if he could go ahead and

fear then was that she had met with an
accident and was lying in some hospital un-
conscious and unable to tell who she was.
When, however on Wednesday two persons
reported having seen her the preceding after
noon, safe and sound and apparently in good
spirits, l was forced to accept the general
view that her absence was voluntary, and to
wait as patiently as could for her voluntary
return.
However, the amazing fact just brought
to light by the Record seems to me to give
to the case an entirely new aspect" Mr..
Rosser continued. at proves concusively
that Miss Hoyt had no intention of not re-
turning home when she left there Friday
afternoon, since otherwise she would un-
doubtedly have taken with her more than
the twenty-odd dollars which her maid says
she had In her purse. Only the day before
she had drawn two hundred dollars from the
/, bank, N one hundred IN E and eighty Of W which Itch
been suggested her absence is due to an
impulse arising from something that oc-
CURED after she left home, she could still
have returned, provided herself with the
money there, and gone away again; No
one would have questioned her or followed
her. She Is her own mistress. To suppose
that, with so natural a course open to her,
she preferred the, for her, most unnatural
one of pawning her jewelry, or having it
pa|nsn s to suppose an absurdity.'
FDlTORIALLY the Record issued a
- rousing call to the police to get on the
job, which was taken up by all the papers.
The discovery of the jewelry seemed to
startle everybody-to be considered most
significant and ominous. The Record made
the biggest fuss, of course, growing to beat
the band. Anybody not wise to them
would have thought that no one on the
staff had closed an eye since Roberta
Hoyt left home, while the truth was that
the jewelry had been found by the merest
fuke. Talbot Sands had turned it up in
the pawn-shop while searching for some
thing else.

evening. He breezed in for bite of din

Friday night, after dinner with Rice
and Farnham and Tai, returned to my
room convinced that Farnham had not
yet heard from Miss Hoyt, and, though
the knowledge puzzled me, it brought
feeling of excitement and expectancy.
The dinner was at the Doctors, and he

On Monday, November 4, the police

things really began to happen. | recall
the date distinctly; but, if l did not, it is
here on my next newspaper clipping:
A reporter of the Record made discov-

light on the mysterious case of Roberta
HOyt, the twenty-year-old society girl who
disappeared ten days ago. With the excep-
tion of one article, all the jewelry known to
have been worn by Miss Hoyt when she
left home was found by the Record reporter
in the pawn-shop of Morris kaplan, on
Sixth Avenue near Fiftieth Street. 1t con-
sists of bar-pin of sapphires and diamonds,
a pearl solitaire ring, a sapphire-and-dia-

HERE'S A FELLOW WHO DIDN'T
APPRECIATE A GOOD WIFE
John Kaminsh promised Judge
Rooney he'd go right back to his
wife and child if the Judge would only
let him out of the Bridewen. He adj
mitted being away from home for six
years until he was arrested five
months ago on a non-support charge
and sentenced to a year in the
lookup. =
His little wife came into court Of
domestic relations nearly every day
for a month to plead that the judge
release her husband from prison and
give him a chance to redeem him
self. Continually the judge refused,
for he thought little more BTideweu
would bring a surety bond that Ka-
minsH would not run away again.
But the weeping, patient pleading of
the wife finally secured from him an
order for the husband to be- brought
into court,
He's learned his lesson now,
judge" said the little wife, as she
threw an arm over their little daugh-
ter and stood proudly beside her pris-
oner husband.
He's coming back and he's COM
ing back strong. He's going to give
Irene and me a good home, just full
of love and happiness, if you'll only
let him go, judge"
Your honor" spoke up Kaminsk,
''Tn go to work right away to make
a home for PolIy-that's my wife
and Irene. Let me show you how 1
can make good.
Judge Rooney pOndered a while
and then ordered Kaminsh's release
that he might go forth and fulfill the
trust and faith of his wife.
