HE MET THE EMERGENCY

Young jenkins had asked his en-

off to attend his grandmother's fu-

worked.
An hour later he was about to en-
ter the baseball grounds when whom

his employer himself.
Young jenkins did not lose his
wits, however. Instead of putting
his money down, he turned to the
ticket seller and said in a tone loud
enough for his employer to hear.

Mrs. Fisk arrived at her decision

explained to detectives.
Yesterday morning an unidentified

was given q large bundle of papers

made up the bundle, and in her hurry
she scooped up the pile covering her

the wagon by the colorcd man.
