ARY MALTOOSE smiled bravely at the dejected man who sat at her bedside. “Never mind, dear,” she soothed. “I'll be all right in a little while now, and we'll manage till then, somehow.” Tim regarded her morosely. “Yeh, but how'm I ever goin' o get any- where? How'm 1 goin’ to get you the fancy foods you'd ought to have, and where are we getting t0?” “Well, T can do without those things. 1 have so far, and I been | wettin’ well pretty fast, t0oo.

Tim looked at her fur- some kind of-a watch- | | man’s job. 1 don’t go il 10 and get back somewhere ‘round 2 or 3. | “What funny hoursi—oh, well, | you'll be with me till nearly 10 and {T'l be asleep by then, anyhow. Be | sure to bundle up warm and take | care o' that nasty cold you got com- ing on. It'd be awful if you should | get neemony too. Say, will you read to me a bit before you go? I stirted to try it this afternoon and it made my eyes ache somethin’ awful.” 8o in his halting, laborfous way Tim read to his wife until he saw her head relax upon the pillows and he’ knew that she slept. Nearly 10 at that. He'd best slip away without waking her. As he trudged slowly along, he smiled sardonically to himself. “Watchman!” A fine kind of watch- man he was going to be! Well, he'd try anything once reather than mere- ly exist as he and Mary had been do- ing since her illness. ~It wasn't for himself he minded so much as for Mary. In spite of her always being so cheery, he was sure that it must be mighty hard for her. Doc Hol- comb had been mighty square—charg- | ed him very little for his services and tried to be as easy as he could. Still, it was tough to see so many things that a little extra money could do to help them along. Well, he simply had to have some, that was all there was to it. That was why he had de- cided to try this business tonight. It sounded easy and he did not see why he_might not do real well later on. For almost three hours he sat around Kelly’s pool hall, hoarse and brooding, nervously tap-tapping his feet and snifling exasperately with the cold which, he reflected bitterly, | was not only “coming on,” but had arrived with full force. Then, judg- ing the time for his venture to be about ripe, he caught a street car tion. Alighting at random at one of the sparsely inhabited streets, he walked briskly away from the car. After a few blocks, he came to a smart little bungalow sitting quite by itself. It was all dark and very quiet—the very house built for his needs. He could not have picked out a better one had he laid his plans in advance the way the real crooks did. Gosh!! He sure was in luck! One of the back windows open several inches, | with only a screen blocking his en-| trance. | The screen was hooked from the inside, but that was a very simple matter. So noiselessly did he make his entrance that he elated with his progress. Some crook he could be | after he could get hep to it! Pretty | good for his first attempt! ! He had not neglected to wear rub-| ber soles, either. Naturally light cn | his feet, he was almost certain he | could be quite noiseless with this added precaution. Cautiously he felt his way, holding his hands in front of him and moving them slowly back and forth to avoid collision with any unexpectedly encountered object. Ah. there was a window in another room. He could see the faint light from the outside. Shucks, he was in the bed- room. He could see a bed faintly out- | lined against the window. He had | wanted the dining room. He did not | might_awaken somebody. Gosh! that pesky cold! He had to do something about it. He did dare use his handkerchief—that certain. Well, he could not stand it way and he could be as quiet as a mouse. Slowly, carefully, he essaved a furtive little sniffle, barely audible {to himself. Suddenly he was aware of a figure sitting bolt upright in bed and point- ing something directly at him. “You get out of here! Do you hear?” The voice was a woman's, but calm, unafraid and unmistak- ably determined. “This instant! I heard you come sneaking in here and you better get quick if you know what's good for you!” That was the kind of a voice that | meant business! Probably she did not have a gun, but he was not going to take any chances at finding out. Tim went and quickly, too. Knock- ing over the telephone stand in his flight, he dashed for the window by hich he ed _thro McGARRAGHY TO DIRECT SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT, Former President of Business High Alumni Chairman for Vaude- villel Show and Dance.
