Senator Capper, Republican, Of

Of a resolution, of which he is CO.

Next morning not only England but the whole
civilized world electrified TO learn that in the
night of the great art masterpieces of all time
had been cut out of it's frame and stolen. In mod
ern days only the theft of the Mona Lisa was IN
the same class this exploit.
The great question was how the thief would
cash in on his stolen goods which could not be sold
to any legitimate customer. He could only do so
by holding the Duchess for ransom. The gal
leries feared that it would be a staggering one.
An anonymous letter came to Agnew and Com
pany. With it went an inch of canvas cut not
from the painting proper but from the part that
was tackled to the frame of the canvas The let
ter offered the piece as proof that The Duchess

would be returned to its owner if Agnew and
Company would bail out certain person for only
a small amount.
The galleries saw the point and, much relieved,
prepared to cooperate 1t would be quite simple.
And then it turned slowly into unfathomabe
mystery. The thief, having learned that he could
have what he demanded, dropped the matter.
Weeks, months and years passed without further
communication from him. What could have hap
pened?
If the thief had changed his mind and wanted
big money why didn't he ask for it?
Perhaps he dead and the precious canvas
lost forever. Perhaps it had been accidentally de-
stroyed There were hundreds of fantastic specu-
lations but the truth was stranger than any Of
them.

AS a matter of fact the Scotland Yard
had not molested Kitty nor told her much.
she asked what they were doing there, one re
with another question:
Aren't you a friend of Mr. Harry Rayr
alias Adam Worth ~
When she admitted that she did know {
Raymond the man added:
Then this is the house we have been di-
rected to watch
Had Pnkerton done this out of spite or
meanness?
Preventive medicine probably saves more
lives and health than all the prescrip-
tons and surgery, but nobody prints the
millions of cases of men and women who
might have sickened and died but were pre-
vented from it.
In the same way there is no story in the
millions of robberies that might have hap
pened but never did. Pinkerton was practis-
ing preventive detection.
BV placing their men in front of those
two houses, Scotland Yard was giving fair
warning to respectable people that they were
hobnobbing with wrong one and Adam
was dropped like a hot potato. That Kitty
happened also to be respectable and there
fore did the same was merely incidental.
Worths only solace was to go back to
crime but he was still too stunned by the
blow even for that when there came to him
the other man who had loved and lost the
adorable Kitty However, Charley came not
to sympathize but to bring bit of bad news
An American boy had gotten into trouble
and was in Jail awaiting trial. The youth
had given false name but Charley under
stood that his real name was Worth and per-
haps Adam had better see him. Though
Worth had frequently sent money to his
family he had taken pains to conceal his life
and whereabouts Now he remembered his
kid brother, John, and took Charley's advice.
1t was that brother.
Gee! Ad," he cried admirably "You
found me just in time. You did such a swell
job on the Boyston Bank that 1 ran away,
too, but / couldn't find you. Now am as
good as free already"
That is what Adam thought and going
to one of the best criminal lawyers in Lon

He could even afford to pay back what he had
stolen from the Boylston Bank, of Boston his sec
IN and sightly-imperfect crime which kept him
N returning to the United States.
The man TO arrange that deal would be the inn
peccably-honest William Pinkerton.
Adam looked forward with pleasure to that
meeting and imagined himself, with perfectly
straight face, assuring the detective that crime
does not paw.
But meanwhile, pleasure before business
He would devote his time to dazzling Kitty with
his lavish entertainment of eminently respectable
personages. AS the carriage drew up to his bache
lor apartments, Adam received the first real shock
of his life
On the sidewalk was this same Mr. Pinkerton
with two Scotland Yard men. Adam Worth knew
that neither they nor anyone else had the slightest
evidence that could be used against him in Eng
land. But he also knew, in a flash that he was
doomed as far Kitty concerned This time
there was no exchange of smiles or quips, just
formal:
Hello Adam Worth"
"Hello Mr.. Pnkerton."
There was no effort to stop him from entering
his home from leaving it later He went
straight to Kitty's house where his worst fears
were confirmed Scotland Yard men were patrol
ling her sidewalk, too. The interview was short
and for once she kept her temper because her fury
had already spent itself.
"You are Adam Worth, aren't you? she said
right away and, because they were the identical
words Pnkerton had spoken to him twice before,
Adam felt that she already knew everything.
yes" he answered.
Then never try to see me again. l might have
known what you are. / am going to America to-
morrow You had better not follow"
A Adam obeyed but not account of the Boyls-
N.YBank. 1t was because he knew that Kitty was
lost him forever She went to the United States,
divorced Piano Charley Billiard and married Juan
Pedro Terry, Cuban sugar multimillonaire.
Worth was hurt far more than this friend
Charley who had also loved and lost her. Billiard
had been her husband for five years whereas
Worth had never had her and now never could.
That loss marked the man for life and caused one
of the queerest romantic alterations in the his
tory Of crime his falling in love with painting.

Unfortunately there was kink
in the bail law at that time, that it

that Harry Raymond was Adam

Teachers Must Mold
Postwar Opinions,
Says Mrs. Roosevelt

Declaring that the solution of
postwar economic problems rests
on sound world economy, Mrs.
Roosevelt said yesterday teachers
will be responsible for molding pub
lie opinion toward a better under
standing Of national and interna-
tional problems.
Mrs. Roosevelt, who spoke at
Miner Teachers College on the OBJ
servance of American Education
Week, told the student body that
teachers in this country have not
been given the important place in
the community they deserve.
Some of you may go to commu-
mites where children do not have
good educational facilities or salts
factory living conditions" she con-
tinued, adding that it would be
their responsibility to change the
thinking of the community as well
as to teach.
Face Added Obligations.
The United States, because of It's
great productive strength and Sc
curity, has an added obligation to
face postwar economic problems for
the world, the speaker declared,
adding:
Occupied countries will have to
be helped back to self-sustainine
basis and to become customers for
our goods if we are to enjoy eco
nonic prosperity.
Emphasizing that numerous
changes OF attitude must take place
IN this country and abroad If we
are to have a lasting peace, Mrs
Roosevelt said, 1T is the respon-
sibility of each individual to see
that people in a community are
prepared to fully understand world
problems
Rests With Individual,
The time is approaching, she
went on, when the progress of
people throughout the world will be
based on what an individual is able
TO 90, regardless of religion. race
or color.
Pointing out that certain prob
lens in this country formerly put
aside will have to be faced, Mrs
Roosevelt said one reason people
accepted Nazism and Fascism was
TO relieve themselves of the respon-
sibility Of deciding what should be
done, IN the face OF a difficult sit
uation.
Mrs. Roosevelt stressed the hope
that people in this country will not
try to settle their problems too
quickly, but will move steadily for
