Burns started to speak, but was fore
stalled.

on the head. and likewise break an
arm, or a leg or SO, to do it. Now
bring that woman in here!"
Burns, shamefaced, but only half con-
vinced of his mistake, went out, return
ing with the prisoner.
The chief looked at her sharply.
"What is your manner" he asked her.
"Madge Ryan," was the calm reply.
Her air of quiet sadness had dropped
from her like a cloak. and she tossed
her head with something very nea to
bravado.
"You are not the sister of the man
who calls himself Mortimer"
Again a little defiant movement of the
head. This time expressing negation.
Then rang the impulsive rollicking
laugh of the street gamin, after which
she spoke.

she saucily inquired, holding out her
manacled hands. mot mel" she added
with conviction.
"Of course it was the man who
pinched and got off with the Jewels"
remarked the chief.
Then turning to the crestfallen Burns
he added. you see?"
Burns did not see, and the air of one
who clutches at a last forlorn hope he
muttered something about accessory"
Don't be an utter idiot, Burns" said
the older man. Unlock those cuffs"
Burns without a word obeyed.
"You may CO." the triumphant isis

she told him audaciously, and turning
to Burns, she added:

worry you too much, Mr.. Burns"
Then, with a CHEEKY "Good evening.
gentlemen" she walked out smartly.
The two men watched her go in
silence. Then Burns turned and said
with much feeling:
"Well III be darned!"
"You ought to be-" said his chief
grimly, 'for of all the pinhead plays I
ever saw this
The chiefs head snapped up sudden
ly with an idea.
"Hold on!' he said between shut
teeth. We've still a chance.
"This guy up ON the drive may be
slow in making a. getaway and we may
beat him to it before his wife returns
to tip him off. So hustle up there"
Burns broke all speed limits in his
wild taxi ride to the uptown apartment,
but when the door was opened to his
loud official knock the same small
woman faced him with a smile that
goaded him to madness.
That smile was his answer.
"How'd you happen to get here
frst?' he snapped v~iciously.
I'll was in a hurry" she answered
sweetly.
"Where's-where's he gomez" he
blurted in mad rage.
Suppose you find out. That's what
detectives are for" she suggested, and
calmly slammed the heavy door in his
face.
Outside on the deserted drive, how
ever, all that Detective Burns found
was a motor or two flying homeward,
and in the distance the dead, slate
colored surface of the Hudson reflect
ing the glittering pearl and yellow
lights Of the Jersey shore.

Credit Is a Temp
tatiOn 70 Careless
Buying

When you buy on credit you pur-
chase many things you do not nceu
and pay the credit merchant u pig
premium for the privilege of buying
these needless things from him-for
when he sells you merchandise on
credit he is really loaning you that
much money without security. Well
secured loans bring per cent inter-
est. Now don't you think for one
minute that the credit merchant Is
selling you merchandise on time for
only per cent when you can puy
the same thing from the cash mer-
chant. The credit merchant Is charg-
ing you the s per cent all right, and
then enough more to even up on the
money he is bound to lose on accounts
he never can collect.

II Hrattlcboro gets small percentage
OF tho new industries its board of trade
is irving for, the loss Of two hundred
or so families because of tho demands of
tho munitions factories in other places
for workmcu will be more than made
up. The secretary of the Brattleboro
commercial organization spikes lie.
that the board of trade is dormant, by
y public letter putting forth in some
detail the efforts being made to induce
new industries 10 locate in Brattleboro.
II seems there has been a lot of talk
and criticism in Brattleboro, just as
there is in almost any place under the
sun which has ambitions. The talk and
criticism has been along the line that
the board Of trade was dead and was
letting things slip right through its
fingers. The reason for the criticism
probably is that the officers of the board
Of trade do not deem It wise to advcr-
tise their aims il pursuit Of new in
dustries because Of the we'll grounded
fear that publicity of the plans might
enable other huStling communities to
go after the same industries. The OF.
ficcrs of nearly every board Of trade
prefer 10 keep quiet, or rather to work
quietly in order to prevent interference
from other communities. That is why
So many people in SO many places think
that tho board OF trade is doing moth
ing to Justify itself and the small Nom
bership Zee annually assessed. Ii the
critic should take the trouble to in
vestieatc personally he probably would
dnd that tho board of trade was doing
-omc really good work although not ad'
vert ising that work very much before
