Give up that bag, see? Where Is II
Come across!"
"What bag?" replied the first youth.
'"The dinky handbag-it's mine-it
wasn't meant for you--no foolin'."
The hand that held the weapon lifted
and then descended upon the head of
the victim.
The indOmitable spirit of Grand
mother Bradley leaped up again with
in Eleanor. Then she remembered that
there was police whistle in the pref
ty bag in her hand, and she stepped
back into the shadow of a tree and
blew it shrilly.
The man bending over the PROSTATE
form of the man in the green overcoat
lifted his head, uttered an oath and
dashed across the street and straight
into the arms of policeman, who
greeted him cordially as a well-known
offender, and carried him away to JAIL
Eleanor told her story in shaky tone,
but she did not mention the matter Of
the beaded bag and the prisoner was
hailed into court on charge Of as
sault
The police whistle had summoned
all the residents Of Green terrace, and
among the foremost was Eleanor's
brother, who uttered sigh Of relief.
1--WE have been worrying about you,
Nellie" he said, and then leaving her
he went into the crowd gathered about
the unknown man. He helped bring
him to consciousness, and when he
was once more on his feet and smil-
ing grimly and rubbing his fair head,
the man in the green Overcoat sudden
ly gripped John Bradley's arm.
"Hello, John Bradley! I was on my
way to see your
'The dickens you were-is it Roger
Lewis? l am glad to see you again.
Here, Nellie, this Is Captain Lewis.
You remember how he saved my life
in France? Nellie IS my sister" DR..
John hustled his belated and damaged
guest toward home, and Eleanor hov-
cred demurely near by. Her thoughts
were chaotic. That heroic friend of
John's-and she had insulted him
called him pickpocket
In the living room Eleanor told her
story, and Captain Lewis grinned fool
ishly as he described his feelings upon
finding the strange bag in his pocket.
Later in the evening he murmured to
Eleanor, "What do you think Of my
story, Miss Eleanor?'
Under his mischlevous eyes her
cheeks grew very pink. II still think
it was very good story-a true
story, after ALL"
"Some day-but never mind-that is
was another story indeed-the sweet
est story ever told-and she believed
that, too!

The Tailored
Green Coat
By CLARISSA MACKIE
Observation-Disclosures
a. 1922. by Mcclure NeMapapec SYndlcatt

Eleanor saw the broken chain Of her
shopping bag dangling from the peck
ct Of a smartly tailored green tOpcOat.
Buttoned inside the t0pcOat was a tall
man, who seemed in hurry.
She did not cry out-that was not
the Bradley way. She simply left the
crowded car and followed the man in
the green coat. He walked rapidly
and the girl was ready to cry with
vexation and alarm as she saw her
money vanishing. Eeanor's quick,
pattering feet stopped short as the
man suddenly paused under lamp
post and whirled about. His right
hand thrust into his pocket as if in
search of weapon, and then re-
NAMED there. His other hand awk-
wardly went up to remove his hat at
sight Of the girl lingering timidly by.
"You were following me?" he asked,
shortly.
II was pursuing you," she said in
an uncertain tone.
"Well?" AS he waited for answer
to this inquiry, Eleanor had the i'm
preston that he was surprised about
something else. His rather cookbook
Ing young face wore an amazed look.

she said, just as Grandmother Bradley
would have done under like circum-
stances.
what have l got to do with it,"
"You should be ashamed of your
self" she cried in sudden Indignation.
"You know, it Is in your coat pocket
this very moment"
Then his right hand came out Of his
pocket and with it came Eleanor's
pretty beaded bag with the cut and
broken chain dangling. Els face was
study in angry establishment. She
saw that his gray eyes flashed like
steel as he faced her.
II don't know who you are, madam"
he said slowly, 'but from what you

which drew up with much ringing Of
bell and chugging Of motor. The
crowd parted, and spruce young in
terne assisted the man with the gray
eyes to place Ethel in the car. She
made last effort.
"Tell my father-J. w. Dorrance-
tell him I'm all right" she said; and
then the cool white walls Of the ambu-
lance wayered queerly, and there was
a confused buzzing in her ears, and
she sank down, down, through limit
less space till she reached a place
where there was a darkness and
silence and blessed relief from pain.
When she came 10 herself she was
lying in her room at home. Beside
the bed she made out two faces: one
of white-capped nurse, and the other
the anxious countenance Of her father.
AS she opened her eyes she heard him
say, THANK God" and felt him take
her hand. She held his fingers in a
convulsive grip. r,-.g.

Eyes, thanks to the man who picked
you up. You gave us an awful fright,
little girl, but you're all right now"
Her fathers voice was CHEEKY and his
eyes met those of the nurse with q
smile.
"Who was it?" she asked. a,

the accident. But the doctor at the
hospital said that If it had not been

did not complete the sentence "See- %

"He twisted this into tourniquet on
your arm and stopped the bleeding
where the glass from the windshield
had cut you. The handkerchief is
marked j. H. That's all we know
perhaps he'll come to
claim it." she said with faint smile
Then, for she was still weak, the nurse
forbade further talk, and gave her
something that tasted bitter, but which
sent her into deep slumber from
which she woke refreshed.

sit up and felt able to receive her
friends, many Of whom called to con.

How Game Of Bridge Got Its Name.
The modern game of auction bridge
is a descendant of old Russian whist,
and came to Its name in pc
culiar way about 40 years ago. At
that time there lived at Great Daily,
Lelcestershire, England, two families
devoted to the game. They paid each
other visits on alternate nights. Their
way lay across an old rickety bridge,
dangerous to travel after nightfall.
So often did one neighbor say to the
other in parting: Thank goodness
it is your bridge tomorrow night" that
In time they referred to their
game only as bridge" And thus the
new name became popular in the coun-
tryside, and was later accepted
throughout England, and soon followed
to America.

say you seem to be the owner of this
bag. Have you formed any idea of
how it came to be in my pccket?'
Eleanor laughed sarcasticaly.
Grandmother Bradley would have
done that with just that little dip Of
the pretty dark head. "The car was
crowded." she murmured reminiscent
ly, "and it was easy for anyone-who
wanted to--a pickpocket. l mean-to
cut the handle of the bag and put it
into the side pocket Of his big coat.
And when the owner discovered the
loss of the bag, the car was stopping
and she saw man in a green over
coat alighting, and she saw the handle
of her bag hanging from his pocket
that Is ALL"
'That is only the beginning" he
laughed shortly, "for l did not know
the bag was in my pocket until l
heard footsteps behind me and turned
to see who it was-putting my hand
into my pocket as did so-and VOLTA!
The bag!" He put it in her out
stretched hand with little bow. Il
hope you will believe me-"
THANK you," murmured Eleanor,
longing to flee and very much afraid
to in the presence Of this cool young
criminal. She wondered what Grand
mother Bradley would have done now
that the Bradley spirit had led her
thus far .1~ ...-.-.-
He stood aside so that she could
pass on. They were near the corner,
and just around the corner was the
pretty row of bungalows where her
brother lived If she could only reach
there in safety.
He saw her hesitation and spoke in
perfunctory tone: 81 am afraid you
DID not believe my story after all"
1T was very-a very nice story
indeed" she assured him, in quaking
voice, as she hurried away. She did
not go far. Before she reached the
corner there was the sound Of running
feet and she turned with cry upon
her lips.
The man in the green overcoat was
st.ll standing under the lamppost, and
coming swiftly upon him from the rear
was another man. also in an overcoat
that looked green under the stron..
light. There was something in his out
stretched hand-sOmething that he
polluted at the first man. as. he cried
hoarsely:

RESPECTED BY ALL

1t is common saying amongst
the American people that you Judge
a person by the friends he keeps
and goes with. In many cases you
will find that this is so. Most people
seek to associate themselves with
others who are of the same habits
as they are. If they do not they
begin to get bad habits of their
friends. If one wants to live right
they must select friends who also live
right.
One of the principal habits that
man has and one that he will always
have is smoking. Man must have his
tobacco to enjoy. Some say it is
bad habit, others say it is a good
habit, but whatever it is man must
have his tobacco.
Now if you have this habit of
cigarette smoking, then you should
be in good company and smoke the
best cigarette. That cigarette is
FATIMA. Your friends will know
that you have good habits if you are
a smoker of FATIMA CIGARETTES.
FATIMA is a real Turkish Cigar
cite and is respected by ALL, rich as
well as the poor. Realizing that it
was within their power to reduce the
price of FATIMA to their consumers
so that it would be within the reach
of all, the manufacturers of FATIMA
have reduced the price to zoe pack
age. Previously it cost 25c to 22c,
