Shorty Jason made up his mind
as he walked along State street
He wasn't going to try to get a Job
when grabbing purses was such 9
lcinch. And, anyway, once you had
a record it was too tough to try to
hold down job for any length OF
time.
Even-if you didn't tell them about
it they always found it out and
then suspected you of everything
rotten they could think Of. You
probably couldn't stick to the
straight and narrow" even If you
wanted to, and Shorty wasn't so
sure he wanted to.
Anyway, Molly needed too much
money to get along on. Once you
started giving nice things to a dame
she thought she ought to get them
all the time. As all these thoughts
were passing through Shorty's ra-
Their small mind he was looking for
an easy ease"
Shorty spotted her. Classy young
girls like this one usually had a
roll, Shorty had found through ex-
perience. The fact that it was Sat
urday afternoon always helped
some, too. There was generally
something in the purse besides
money that Molly could use, SO
Shorty had made a habit of going
after smartly dressed girls.
Shorty had just come back from
doing a short stretch and wasn't
quite in the swing of things yet.
Let's see. You just bumped into her
sort of easy like. If she loked
around you mumbled sorry, :"
meanwhile slipping the purse out
of sight and getting away as quick
ly as you knew how.
But usually they didn't even turn
around. People were used to being
jostled on the downtown streets.
Shortly loked around for just a
girl was talking to the fellow she
was with and didn't even notice
him. They were laughing. Just as
he was taking the purse the young
chap looked down at her and said:
Hes at it again. Smile pretty"
Shorty loked around for Just a
second and followed the young fel.
lows gaze. He had a sinking sensa-
ton that he had pulled a boner.
But the fellow was still looking in
front of them and Shorty didn't
wait to see what It was but just
kept on going. AS he hurried along
he thought what goof he had
been for looking around, not that 1t
had hurt him any this time, but
that was one of the strictest rules
he had set UP for himself.
When he got home he and Molly
went through the purse. In it they
found $103 and some change. Mol
ly was thrilled. They could cele-
brate on that much. Only once be-
fore had Shorty gotten a haul as
big as this one. Molly said she
guessed he was the best poke lif-
ter in the business. He certainly
could pick 'em. Molly knew how
to make him feel good.
But she wasn't succeeding so
we'll this time. Shorty was nervous.
He didn't know exactly why, but
he was nervous. He paced around
the. room and went to stand at the
window.
He ran his fingers through his
hair as he always did when he was
expecting something to happen. He
couldn't understand why he had
been so dumb as to turn around.
Maybe it was because it was his

The fourth day just as Shorty
was stepping out Of the apartment
building two plain-clothes men
stepped up and the larger one said:
Glad to see you back in town,
your visit SO short, but business is
business"
What are you talking about?'
Shorty said in the most casual tone
he could muster.
"He means you're under arrest
for snatching purses from young
ladies'" the other one put in. "And
dch't try any alibis Shorty, because
we have the sweetest little piece Of
evidence I've ever had the pleasure
Of getting on a fellow like YOU"
He pulled out something from his
pocket. do you recognize this nice
looking fellow right here? The
short one that's turning around to
look at the ''birdie?"
Shorty groaned as he looked at
the snapshot in the detectives
hand.
There were three small pictures
along in a row. Each one, however
had the same obvious story to tell.
A pretty girl was laughing up at
the tall handsome chap with her,
and Shorty Jason was looking al
most directly into the camera with
hts hand just in the act of slipping
the purse out from under the girls
arm.
Good likeness, don't you think -
The detective policeman went on.
you ought to have your picture
taken often"
But Shorty wasn't listening. He
was wondering why he had been
such a sap as to pick such a good
looking couple when he had seen
those photographers all over the
city. For a quarter the fellow had
caught him in the act. Well, you
couldn't think of everything, and
besides. Shorty had to admit to
himself that it was a pretty neat
piece Of evidence. In fact, 1t was 30
good he asked to be taken to jail
