Of course he saw old Granny Fox when she led Bowser the Hound down across the Green Meadows, and he guessed right away what her plan was. It tickled him so that he had to clap both hands over his mouth as he watched sly old Granny take Bowser straight over to his mapping place, and when he saw how sur prised she was to find him gone he sat up and laughed until all the little people on the Green Meadows and in the Green Forest heard him and wondered what could be tickling Old Man Coyote so.

ALLEGED DIAMOND
 PALMER IS TAKEN
 BY LOCAL POLICE
Detectives Spend Two Months In Tracing Woman-She Declares Her lnno-
 cence of Charge

Gladys Howard, said by the au- thorities to have a police record in several southern cities, is now in the city jail charged with having sub stituted fake diamond rings for gen uine ones at two leading downtown jewelry stores.
 A girl clerk at local jewelry store played the leading role in developing the arrest of the alleged diamond thief. Police officers yesterday re- fused to give her name, because they believe the girl under arrest may have companions who would proba bly, try to harm her.
 Lives In City
 The woman under arrest lived at |et1 Twelfth street, south, and ac- cording to the police, during the past two months criminal records have been filed against her at Memphis, Little Rock and Chicago.
 In jail yesterday, she denied any sknowledge of the charges.
 The case was first brought to the attention of the local police in June when she is alleged to have stolen a diamond ring valued at $475 from Bromberg's. She is alleged, accord ing to the police, to have gone into the store and asked for a certain ring, and then to have palmed it. and handed 8 glass substitute back to the clerk.
 Another store
 She is also alleged to have accom- plished the same thing at the A. and A. Ash Jewelry store during the same month. E. l.. Hollums and William DeGroat, city detectives, were placed upon the case.
 Nothing occurred for several weeks until one of the girl clerks who had waited upon the woman. saw her In an automobile downtown. The auto mobile. according to the police. speeded away, but the girl clerk was able to get the license number. With this to work upon, the arrest of the alleged diamond thief occurred yes to-day and detectives are now work ing upon the possibility of her hav- ing other companions in the city who may have been connected with the thefts.
