S this held also that man took part in this general scheme, Darwin said that scientific facts indicate that man's nearest kin was the old world mon- key.

Your report is met with indiffer- ence. When you tell the policeman vour plight (you are “out” thirty- five cents and a good handkerchief)' at brass buttoned gentleman an- swers with words to the effect that it isn't his money and adds as an afterthought *“Yell the locker boy.” he locker boy shows his interest | (?) by a laconic “Ayah?" By this you are feeling rather on edze but as nobody shows any interest you |take it that the matter is dropped. [1t isn't the loss that staggers you, it's the principle of the thing. The trouble lies in the fact that there are no individual locker keys, a master key being used instead. The locker boy sometimes lets the key out of his possession or thg boy hie has helping him (all in inno- cence) is persuaded to open the wrong locker. After these prelimi- Inaries the so-called “dirty work” is and you are relieved of your possessions. Individual locker eliminate this, added diligence on the locker hoy's part would help. I'0o0, the locker boy ought not to let any other boy take charge of the key for the thieves an op- through the in- assistant. A VICTIM.
