The couple descended from the train.
The man watching them left It q mo-
ment later and, keeping them In sight,
went out after them to sec them take
a cab together. They were being driv-

another cab and, getting into 1t, babe
the driver follow the one that was
leaving.
"Now, see ere" said the man play

how. What dye want to put up JOB
like that fort You're the 'ousefnaid at
the Lawrences."

the woman, paling.

suit case, hain't your
Reckon you've got some in yours"
II don't mind lettin' you know that
I've got some gold plate"

In tone that denoted disposition to

up for somethln like Ave or six years,
and that wouldn't pay since you've got

She being the weaker sex, he sue
ceeded In persuading her to cast her
burden on him. She handed her suit
case to him. The expression on his
face as he took II was, to say the least,
crafty. What was passing through
his mind was, might as well hang
