THE THIEF
Continued from page ten

failed to appear at the store. Her absence
was noted at once. 1t was the subject of
telephone conversation between the house of
Kahn and the house of Seidelman that eve
ming And when the third evening did not
bring her between five and thirty, Bernie
went around to the rooming house and rang
the porters bell. A sour old woman said:
Mrs. Lester must be in because she amt
gone out!'
She's sick, guess, said Bernie, when he
went back to the store,
The Kahns and the Seidelmans were con-
fused and worried by the thought.
Then Jake Kahn did something about it.
Jake is a dry, hard-faced man and he is apt
to surprise his entire family by the unexpected
workings of his brain.
They were about to close the store; the
last clients were gone; and Jake's loud dry
voice said: "Ruthie, get out jar of that
caviar out of the ice box, and couple tubes
of anchovy paste, and some of the anchovies,
and jar of pate. Bernie, get dozen of those
Southern California navels. Select. No, may
be you better make it half dozen. Some of
those Spanish olives, Abe.
He went on with additional selections.
The unanimity of the Kahns and Seidelmans
never was shown to better advantage The
mind of Jake instantly was apparent to all
the rest; and in ten minutes every Kahn and
Seidelman in the store was walking around
the corner on that cold February day, carry
ing something in hand to the little rooming
house where Mrs Sidney Lester lived.
The sour-faced woman opened the door

..Yeah?" said Jake. He looked down upon
Abe from superiority of mind and soul and
time What did she steal?"
'She stole a loaf of bread!" said Abe.
''She stole loaf of bread. And so what?"
asked Jake.
Bewildering light dawned upon the brain of
Abe. He laughed little. embarrassed.
yeah, sure" said Abe, and he laughed
little again. very softly.
HE kahns and the Seidelmans have lived
and worked together for so many years that
their mutual understanding is remarkable.
In flash they now knew what their attitude
should be toward Mrs Sidney M Lester.
When she came in, always wearing the same
dress of black silk, upon which time had shed
sort of dust, almost impalpable, with col
lar of black lace concealing the indignities
which the years had worked upon her throat,
she was sure to get cheerful greeting from
the Kahns and the Seidelmans; not too much;
not so much attention that she might become

air with touch of neighborliness.
Her pleasure was always asked. She always
had chance to price the caviar or the sliced
white chicken, or the Holsters, or the pate.
And at the moment when she started from
the store again, all the Kahns and all the
Seidelmans were suddenly very busy, with
their faces turned to the rear OF the store.
AS was saying, this went on for upward of
six months before Mrs Sidney M. Lester

priced in the store was represented by that
array upon the table.
Then Jake, after taking final survey of
the table, advanced toward the inner door.
The Kahns and Seidelmans, unbidden, ranged
themselves in straight line, beginning with
Martha Kahn and ending with Bernie, who
is the smallest of the family. though OF course
he more than makes up for inches with brains.
Jake raped delicately upon that inner
door. He waited. He raped again. Suddenly
he raped very loudly indeed.
AND then Jake turned the knob, slowly, and
slowly pushed the door open. He and all the
families behind him could look through the
door to the chair where Mrs. Sidney M. Lester
sat beside the western window with letter
in her hand, and her head bent thoughtfully
to the side.
Jake Kahn did not speak. He turned slowly,
and slowly he closed the door.
He crossed the room. He opened the door
into the hall Through it filed the kahns
and the Seidelmans, stepping soundlessly. So
perfectly were they of one mind, that it did
not occur to any of them to take even the
perishable caviar away; but all remained as
they had brought it. What was to have been
a feast became sacrifice.
The Kahns and Seidelmans went noiselessly
down the stairs with big Martha Kahn weep
ing silently all the way and Jake comforting
her, for he understood the nature of their loss.
1t was Bernie who thought to look through
the paper next morning before even he had
had the breakfast Martha cooked for all the
Kahns. All, he is the one with brains, that
Bernie He will go far Back in the dining
room he put down the paper on the table

shifting, as the procession climbed.
When they came to the top floor west, Jake
tapped There was no response. The smiles
died upon the faces of the kahns and the
Seidelmans.
Then Jake tried the door. 1t opened at
once. He peeked and the Kahns and the
Seidelmans peeked behind him. They saw a
neat little living room with round table in
the center of it. and the center of the table
was crossed by an embroidered runner; and
on the runner stood four or five books, upheld
by bronze bookends; and on the wall there
was a picture of a dignihed gentleman in tails,
making gesture as though he were in the
midst of public address. They knew, in
stantly. that that was Sidney NJ Lester. and
that he was dead.
