What in the world could Jerry be doing in
the market? Jed paused and watched them
approach, ready to greet his friend. But some
thing in the policeman's face stopped the words
on his lips.
Hello, Jed" said Officer Coughlin in an
odd voice II think I've got something that
belongs to you
He stretched forth his hand and Jed uttered
a glad exclamation when he saw that the
officer was holding his gold medal
Say, that's great" he exclaimed. where
did you find it? / certainly was sick about
losing it"
Officer Coughlin was gazing at him, his face
stern.
You can't deny it's yours, can you, Jed?'
he said slowly.
why, MOI" said Jed in surprise why
should I? OF course, it's mine It's got my
name engraved on it, hasn't it?"
Yes, 1t has" said the policeman sadly, Il
guess you'll have TO come down to the station
with me and have talk with the captain"
The captain?" Jed looked from Officer
COughlin to MI Monaco and back to the police
man. Say what's up?" he demanded. Where
did you find my medal?"
Don't you know, jedi" returned the officer
"Old AbeS Pawn Shop on Franklin street was
broken into last night. They found your medal
there this morning went over to your house
and had a talk with your mother. She said
you were out awfully late. And So"
"VOU mean my mother thinks robbed
Abes Pawn Shop" Jeds voice was
Mortified.
IT tried not TO let her get worried, but
she knows something's wrong said Officer
COughhn. Look here, Jed you must be able
to explain that medal How did 1t get there?
You haven't started that game, have you?
Why, hid" The officers voice broke. How
did that medal get there JEDI"
Jed's brain raced Suppose he told how he
had lost the medal. They might not believe
him, but If they did it would mean that Joe
would be arrested Joe, who was already
started wrong! Being arrested now would seal
his fate.
II lost the medal last night" he said slowly
That's all can tell you except that I didn't
break into the pawn shop"
Ofhcer Coughlins face was panied. IT guess
you'll have to come along to the station, Jed"
he said slowly.

He staggered to his feet groaning as he put
his hand on an aching lump on the back OF
his head. He found he was dizzy when he
stood up, and his legs felt weak With
clouded brain he wondered what time it was,
and drew his watch from his pocket. The
crystal was broken, but the watch was still
running, and he saw with a start that it was
almost O'Clock in the morning. He had
been lying in the alley for hours.
Then something else gave him another start.
The fob that held his gold medal attached to
his watch was broken and the medal was gone.
He got down on his hands and knees and
searched for it, but without result. Then, be-
cause his head was pounding and he knew he
had to go to work in a few hours, he made his
way from the alley and slowly walked home
through the almost deserted streets
"A NIGER seethed within him as he trudged
along. So that was what q fellow got for
trying to help a friend He vowed revenge
against Jiggs Lane and the coward who had
struck him down from behind But Is the
walking revived him, these bitter feelings were
replaced by anxiety for his friend. 1t was only
too easy TO see now that Joe was IN with the
Franklin Street gang, and in pretty deep. To
think that Joe would act as he had to jed!
He entered the house quietly and got to bed
without disturbing his mother. The next morn
ing at breakfast she regarded him with troubled
eyes, saying nothing. Finally, however, she
spoke.
'You didn't come in until awfully late Jed"
she said soberly.
Jed kept his eyes on his plate. He couldn't
tell what had happened. His mother liked
zoe.
YES" he said finally. 1T was pretty late.
Sorry If woke you up"
His mother looked at him anxiously for q
moment, then turned away. She trusted Jed
fully. If he would say no more she would not
question him further.
Working wasn't so easy that day Jed's head
still ached he felt the lack of sleep, and his
thoughts were far from pleasant. In his mind
was the constant problem: What could he do
TO help Joe? Jed knew what running with a
gang like Jiggs Lane and his outfit meant. He
had seen other boys in the neighborhood ruined
in just this way.
Then there was Mabel. She counting ON
him to get Joe back on the right track. He
couldn't fail her.
put there seemed no solution to the problem,
and he shook his head distractedly as he
paused In his work. Then suddenly his at
tention was attracted to the door Of the loading
shed. Mr.. Monaco was walking in, and with
him was Jerry Coughlin, the policeman.

beautiful. Time had been kind to her,
and while she was not so enhancing

that in the very beginning of the
game the complaining witness
trumped his ace. Later, so he de-
clared, she refused to give him back
his lead at which time everything
went dark with him, and he lost by 2

UNSUITABLE HOMICIDE

One of the most interesting law
suits tried in this city during recent
years was that of the State versus
Charles j., Hafback, which occupied
the attention of. a jury in justice
court most of last Wednesday after
noon. Hafback was charged with the
crime of aggravated assault of his
wife, Mrs. Sofie E. Hanback,, being
the complaining witness. m 2.
The Hafbacks were married here
nineteen years ago. Their union was
one of unalloyed bliss where the ex-
uberant and exotic joys of glorious
and beautiful courtship extended into
the honeymoon and. continued thru
out the succeeding dawns mad twi-
lights that have winged into the ct
ernity of vanished years since that
joyous morning long ago when the
cords of confidence, fidelity and hope
binding together two loving hearts,
were indelibly traced upon the scroll
of life and the sacred seal of holy
matrimony was placed thereon. But
alas, how vain are human hopes; how
uncertain of realization are its cher
ished dreams.
Wednesdays lawsuit provdd that
the Hafback home was one that was
exemplary of perfect union of two
soul mates where no sound harsher
than lovers kiss was ever heard
until last Tuesday night when the
serpent of hatred and contention
crept into the Eden of their love.
Mrs. Hafback being unable to take
the witness stand was allowed TO tes-
tify from a wheel chair. In laying a
proper foundation for the evidence
she. was about to give she stated that
she was the daughter of poor but
honest parents who reared her with
all tie tender solicitude attendant to
that of a delicate lily; that her mind
was as pure and her heart as sinless
SO smile that plays over the brow
,of sleeping innocence. Tint Mrs.
Hafback was free from guile no one
doubted and then when she recount
ed how the defendant had struck and
beat her there were few dry eyes in
the courtroom and it looked like the
prosecution has scored complete
victory. The redret was at that
point that the justice could not give
the defendant the extreme penalty,
but the book was against him.
