Just as he got TO the vestibul.
Tom swung a mean left and caught
scheer on the forehead. narrowly
missing his eye. Then the two fell
down on the sidewalk. Policeman
Beck came up and straighteneo ous
the two men and the pair 81
crutches and took Tom TO the ponce

Not satisfied. Tom swung at

Finders Keepers
By HENRY FRANK

co 1921. by Mcclure Newspaper SSndlcale''
 Ronald Young was bored. He had been at the Lakelands summer hotel for three days, and had exhausted the much-advertised pleasures of that re- sort on the evening of the second twenty-four hours. He had tried the golf course, to discover that it was under construction" for most of its extent; there was no one, apparently, who cared to play tennis; there were plenty of places to ride, but no horses, and the swimming despite the fam boyant title of the hotel, was neg Iigible.
 Hence the ennui of Ronald Young. He sat in the lobby, which was main- ly peopIed by elderly women and fret ful children, and wished that he had never decided to come to Lakelands for his vacation.
 As his pessimistic gaze roved over the rocking chairs and potted green cry of the lobby 1t was arrested by the sight of d girl-a remarkably pretty girl-who was wandering about with a peculiarly vacant look on her face.
 Her eyes roved this way and that, on the floor, the many chairs. the green pots, even the children. From time to time she approached one of the tenants of the rocking chairs and put question. to which, apparently, she received always negative reply, for her air of bewilderment deepened and the little wrinkle of worry be- tween her eyebrows grew in intensity.
 Ronald watched her with interest. Evidently she had lost something ahl She had addressed him.
 "I beg your pardon, but-have you noticed a handbag-a lady's handbag around the lobby anywhere? I lost 1t yesterday, and can't seem to find 1t, or anybody who has seen 1t. lit has some valuable papers in 1t. You haven't seen 1t anywhere, have you?"
 Ronald Young hesitated for just the fraction of a second. then he replied.

the bag" he stated without prelimi- nary skirmishing.
 The girl gave a little gasp. She reached out and almost snatched the bag from his hands, and her voice was Quivering as she said, "Oh, how can ever thank you? I just couldn't have stayed here another day without this bag. Where did you find it?" "On the floor in the lobby, under a chair"
 Isn't that strange? I know I looked there myself-under every sin gle chair-and 1 couldn't find it."
 Ronald hesitated, then nerved him. self, and made the following amazing statement You couldn't find it be- cause it wasn't there when you looked. You dropped it last night and I picked it up after you had left the room. didn't have any idea whose bag it was, and was going to turn 1t in at the desk, but"
 But what?"
 "Well, I thought maybe-maybe I'd like to meet whoever owned it. And when you came around this morning, I-well, wanted to talk to you, and l was afraid that if 1 gave you the bag right away you'd run away some where and I wouldn't see you again. So said I'd look for it. And after all, did find it-and you aren't very angry, are yOu?"
 DO you mean to say that you knew where 1t was all the time l was w0r- rying myself to death? Do you know that you are very wicked young man?" Ronald saw that her eyes were laughing, and this statement of the depravity of his soul caused him to burst into joyous chuckle.
 q always believed in the principle of finders keepers he announced, land l was never so glad in my life that acted on it. How long are you going to stay here?"
 "Are you sure that you have the right to ask thatY"
 Of course have the right. Didn't find your bagY"
 "But you kept it whole day, and made poor mother almost sick because 1t was missing. It had all our trav- elers checks in it. What would we have done without it?"
 "How long are you going to stay?" he repeata6 ignbffng her other ques- ton. Mar56rf6 hesitated and dropped her eyes.
 "I-I think we'll stay all summer" |" she admitted finally.
