= Stewart. THAT fellow is going to
have hard time travelling very far
in this storm and probably he'll lay
low somewhere until it lets up. The
sheriff can organize big posse and
pick him up after daylight"
The colonel agreed. He was an
xious to get his men under cover.
We took our prisoner back to the
Home. There we found the lady
Greeks sitting around disconsolate
with their wraps on amid group
of negligee but wide-awake old sol
diers having the time of their lives
over the extra attraction of thief
hunt.
There were no handouts in the
institution, naturally, so we bound
our prisoner to a chair pending the
arrival of the sheriff. He looked dis
consolate enough. | was suddenly
sorry for him. Poor fellow, all he
had done was to make break for

were all against him that he was

out in the snow together with an
oil lantern flickering unsteadily in
the wind.
It.was only a few hundred yards
to where the automobile was stand

creasing, threw the snow into our
faces in stinging blasts that made
walking difficult and conversation
practically impossible.
The lights of the car were still
bravely hurting wedges of illumina-

The seats were covered with snow.

The first explosion was followed

rival, are members start a performance o.

Mr. Hemingway, of being in love with his

Riding away from the scene of the i'll

the group of players is held up by two
escaped convicts, one of whom is captured

"Ohw
He was obviously disappointed.
What are you going to do with
me?"
"Turn you over to the sheriff,
suppose"
The sound of the shot had aroused
curiosity at the Old Soldiers Home,
and now half dozen of the most
nearly complete of the inmates led
by Colonel Stewart came down the
road in military order. They were
armed with rifles and had bayonetS
fixed. l learned afterwards that the
weapons were Spanish-American
War trophies which were not loaded
and had not been fired for sixteen
years.
We told the Colonel what had
happened and he sent one of the
old men back to the Home with the
ladies with instructions to telephone
the sheriff The rest of us went
after the other escaped prisoner.
He had broken away from the
road and gone into a patch oi
, woods that lay alongside, as we
could easily tell by his fresh tracks
in the snow. 1t seemed as if it was
going to be comparatively simple
matter to trail him.
We changed our minds, however
when the tracks led out of the com.
parative quiet of the timber-land to
a meadow. Here they ceased
abruptly. There was enough vino

The rest of us tried to talk about
something else so as not to appear
to be listening, but we couldn't
help it, and sudden silence fer at
her next remark.

Mrs. Hemmingway hung up the
receiver and turned back to our
frantically silent company. / wished
that l could say something to show

Something in my face must have
shown, however, because Mrs.
Hemingway looked at NE and ex-
claimed in dismay:

"Well, part of it," admitted.
"You mustn't think I meant it."

harm she had done.
