Miss Clarke, in her brief statement to

According to the inspector. Miss

ficit in the local postoffice; that she
carried 81 900 Of the money with her to
Orlando, which sum was contained In
the empty money sacks found in the
room in which Mr.. Miltmore was
found dead.
After her brief confession she broke
down. She told the inspector that the
money here in the Chambers house
was contained in a small box, within a
registered envelope, in dresser
drawer In an upstairs room. She said
she rented the room some weeks ago
and had been using 1t as a Studio"
The inspectors upon their arrival
carefully checked up every statement
she had made and, after finding the
money exactly as she had designated,
gave out her confession late this aft
ernoon.

1t was in Chambers automobile that
Miss Clarke made the trip to Orlando.

No shot was heard and the body was

Maggie, the shop girl, smiles enyl-
ously, for the only approach to love

suggestive advances OF the sleek

AS she left the store that night
Maggie was annoyed by the floor
walker, who tried to force his atten-

ed into an automobile driven by an
aristocratic young man who seemed
to guarantee her safety by his ap-

was her fairy prince.
How the spinster was lured into a

mailed and how Maggie had to fight
like a wildcat for her honor are dra-
matte kicks over and above the spark
ling theme which, In itself, is mighty
