— DAILY SHORT STOR! HEAVY JEWELS By Kenneth Acton. I HAD just - bought a pa- per-from the newsy and; to my an- neyanee, I found I had no loose change. I drew out my wallet and extracted a bill. “Can you change for me, Mac?” “Yes, -sir. That's Ppocket and leaned back. From some- Where in front game " the faint echo ‘of the whis- tle a5 our engine warned for a level crossing. Somehow Ipaper didn't in- terest me after ell, and I began to glance around at my fellow passengers. The girl sit- ting directly across from me was cer- tainly a peach. About 22, dark and slenderly lovely. Her gracefully crossed legs revealed a ravishingly shaped ankle clad in the sheerest <hiffon. Fearful that she might see me watching her, I looked away, then glanced back again. Our eyes met and I got a jolt that nearly caused me to swallow my false teeth. This vision of perfect loveliness had ob- viously and deliberately winked at me! The outside seat of her compart- ment was empty. I rose and crossed the ‘aisle. “May I sit here for a while?” . She smiled at me delightfully. “Of ©ourse, Jack. Why not?” Jack? What the heck? Wasn’t Jack! “Delightful stretch of country ‘we're passing through, isn't it?” She pouted a little. “Why so formal all ©of a sudden? Why, to hear you talk one would think we were strangers!” Oh, Lord! So I wasn't such a sheik after all! I could see easily enough now that she had mistaken me for somebody else. But then if they were on .such friendly terms, who cared? Why not be that somebody else for & while? * ok ok ok MANAGED a laugh of sorts. *I gUesS 1 wasn't expecting to see Sou here today and got a little flus- tered.” “Was it such a shock?” “Not & shock—an intoxication,” “That's much better. Now tell your little Mimi what you've been doing with yourself lately.” Mimit What an ahbsolutely ador- Bble name! But the rest of her speech made a bit of a poser. How in hell could I tell her what I'd been doing when I didn't know who I was Supposed to be? “Oh, well, just knocking around: a dit, you know. Have you had dinner Fet2” She shook her head. “When I saw you first I thought maybe your girl Iriend was on the train with you. But when I found you were alone I waited for you.” “Good girl! e?” We strolled back to the diner to- fether. (But I was supposed to have & girl friend. Ouch! Not so good!) After dinner Mimi excused herself. *You don't mind if I go back to my compartment now and have a little sleep, do you, Jack? I'm feeling a bit lazy.” I nodded and strolled into the smoker. I had just settled myself Wwith a good fat cigar when I heard Yoices behind me. “We got a straight tip that the dame would be on this train and have the necklace with her, The de- scription was pretty sketchy, but we'll have to make a search of all the bag- gage of any dames that look fishy. A necklace likethat Feltenham sparkler the Let's go now, shall P.-T. A. PICKS OFFICERS IN ST. MICHAEL’S SCHOOL Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. SILVER SPRING, Md, May 27.— Mrs, Patrick D. Beavers was elected president of the Parent-Teacher Asso- ciation of St. Michael's School last night. Other officers elected were Mrs. ‘William T. Beall, vice president; Mrs. Miller A. Cassedy, secretary, and J. Fendall Coughlan, treasurer. It was reported that the association had raised $1,089 during the year. Plans were made for the gnnual school picnic Thursday on the grounds of the Academy of the Holy Names. There will be a number of athletic events and the association will provide the children with luncheon. ‘The annual carnival will be held July. 7-10, with Mrs. Elizabeth Lowd as general chairman. A band concert. will be given June 3 by St. Michael's Bchool Band at the school. , 'SCHEER BI}OS. “May I sit here for @ while?” My namei is too big for her to carry around on her. It'll have to be in her grip somewhere.” ... I SAT as it stunned. Could it be that my mysterious friend was mixed up in something shady? Surely not. And yet, after all, what did I really know about her? The two men— who were obvious- ly plain - clothes dicks—had left the smoking car. I rose and followed. Sure enough, they were going through my friend’s bag- eage. I walked up the car hastily. I felt I had to see the end of this. Ah, thank heavens, a mistake had been made! “Sorry to have troubled you, ma’am,” one of the dicks was saying as I came up. “But, you see, we didn’t get much of a description, an’ we can't take no chances.” My lady was graciousness fitself. “That's quite all right, officer. I realize you were only doing your duty.” The dicks almost brushed my shoulder as they passed back the aisle. But, naturally, they paid no atten- tion to me. “The nerve of those cops, thinking that you had stolen stuff with you!” She smiled. “Don’t be too hard on them, Jack. It looks silly to you, but | You must remember that you know | me, and they don't. That makes a difference.” I reflected that I could stand to know her a little better myself, but naturally I didn't say so. “Greenburg!

My companion began to gather .up her grips hastily. “Gracious, Greenburg already! Sorry to leave you, Jack boy, but here’s where I get off.” For once my usually torpid brain acted in high gear. “You don't say so! Why, this is my station, too!” She laughed outright. “This is a day of coincidences, isn't it? Three cheers! Now you'll be able to get me a taxi” I did, but I wasn't destined to share it with her. I was helping to carry her grips across the platform, and that reminded me of the incident on the train. “Istill can't get over thuse cops hav- ing the nerve to search your stuff for & stolen necklace!” She was seated in the taxi now, with her grips at her feet. I was just go- ing to get in beside her when she reached her hand info my coat pocket. “Never mind, Jack, or Ralph, or Tom—whatever your name happens to be. If I hadn't managed to spot an easy-looking dummy when I did, they'd have caught me with it! Why, what in——?" she broke off suddenly, and drew her hand out—empty! I grinned, rather complacently. “Sorry to disappoint a lady,” I drawled. “But those dicks’ remarks kinda woke me up, and I realzed my pocket felt heavy, so I dived in my TRY HU. N hand and found you had planted the sparkler on me.” She was glaring at me like a trapped wild cat. “Where is it now, you fool?" In spite of myself, my grin broad- ened. “Well, it's rather hard to say just where it is now. I slipped it into that fat cop's pocket when he passed me (% in the aisle.

Luck Saves Angler. Between a crocodile and a leopard, Peter Roscoe of Bulawayo, South Africa, thought his last moment had come. Intent on fishing, he left his rifie behind as he walked upstream. Suddenly he was contronted by a big crocodile. He turned back to get his rifle and saw a huge leopard only & few yards away. The leopard ap- peared to be stalking the crocodile, but Roscoe was not sure and had just about decided to leap into the stream, when the leopard sprang pest him as the crocodile retreated. * A—I9 Pay Holidays Boomed.
