With the goods and they appeared to
be well-known or influential or pop
ular people, who simply have weak
ness for stealing, the merchant los
ing the goods did not prosecute
them. There was a difference in the
merchants attitude as between some
lowly tunknown person who stole, per-
haps to meet a necessity, and some
well-to-ddepeople, who stole just be-
cause theySwanted to or because they
want to have an easy living. Then
there was another angle of the sub
ject dwelt upon by the Mystery club
due to the fact that magistrates have
inflicted only light fines on such Of
tenders when they were caught and
prosecuted and the merchants have
not protested to the magistrates.
The Mystery club takes the view
that whenever the merchants have
the backbone to prosecute people
without regard to their social or f.
nancial standing, when they have
the backbone to 60 after the magis-
trates and make them stand up and
do their duty, then If the merchants
and officers are still unable to control
the shoplifting, that will be time
enough for the Mystery club to take
a hand. For the present the Mystery
club is combining its operations to

volver from its case and presented Il
In menacing view.
The intruder turned, dashed from
the room into the hall and disap-
peared. Valiantly triumphant, Ned
went back to the parlor, for the first

Half an hour later Ned stood in the
garden of the Brill home. Gazing into
the one lighted room of the place he
saw Brill tied to chair and striving
to dislodge a gag In his mouth. He
was frantic; he tore his hair; incoher-
emily he babbled forth the visit of a
