"Yeo, Turnkey Howell was on guard, making hia rounds up and down the corridors, up and down the four flights of etairs, jangling his keys and mum- ‘ling the hours and adding the stereo- typed phrase “All's well!” ‘And ail wae well wil Mise Harrie— ‘There wae verely the faint murmur of Gewell's keys to disturb the ailenco of Miss Harrie’s tier on the second floor when she deftly opened her cell door, PRONT DOOR OF THE JAIL WAGN’T LOCKED BY WARDEN.

In other words, women should and ultimately will propose marriage. What do you think about it? Has every unmarried woman the right to constitute herself a high- wayman of the heart, a feminine Dick Turpin haunting the broad heath of masculine affection and, less moderate in her demands, re- quire upon pain of death her vic- tim’s money AND his Hfe?

DESCENDS TWISTY STAIRCASE AND UNLOCKS ANOTHER DOOR. ‘Whoever furnished the. key, the fact Temains that once out of her apartment on the second floor of the,prison Esther Harris descended a twisty staircase and unbelted another marvel of the lock- smith's art, thus maiing the way clear to the open doors of the Jail. Sheriff Conckiing slumbered sonorously in his quarters tn the rear of the women's compartments on the second floor, ‘The fact that Miss Harris went back for her typewriter wan gleaned from a comrade lady prisoner who was sleep- ing in a lowor tier with one eye open. This prisoner, facing a petty oharge, hes a keen sense of humor and was highly amused. She made no outcry and suppreseed her laughter. It was perfectly awfully jolly to watch Miss Esther making such a superb geteway. Miss Esther puffed and blew a little a0 she lugged that typewriter down some more and blew some more as she carried down those heavy grips. But she was sure of the slow, methodical and painstaking character of Turnkey Howell, end did not ‘really hurry very muoh, ‘When ehe got her grips down to the front stoop ehe etill had time to go back and lock all those “Goo'-by, Miss Esther," whispered the lady with the one eye open, and Mise Esther whispered beck: “Goo'-by, dearle, sorry can't take y* along, but guess you oan dix it up any time you wanter blow.” They tossed kisses to each other through the, gloom, olfed locks stilthed into place, and Miss Bsther had gone. Ae Dsther Harris stood alone in the ch ellence of the night, with the win- try dlasts enarling round the prison looked out into a black vista trees and squatty houses, It ‘crool” weather and the outlook was was depressing, yet, notwithstanding, Esther emiled, Presently she grinned, for there was borne to her ears the purring pulsation of a “allent six,” a large, upholstered car of the latest make, ‘a little old next rear’ you might say with the Flapper in “Bunker Bean.” Out of the ebon shadows emerged Esther's car. Swiftly and allently it drew up to the prison gates, and awift. ly and ailently strong arms lifted Esther and her “mill” and luggage into the soft embrace of the tonneau. DEAR OLD ARTHUR WAS TEST- ING A RADIATOR, As the notorious and adroit Miss Har- tls drew her sable wraps around her and hissed to the chauffeur, “All #peed, John," she turned her head to stance at the receding watls of that large and expensive jail. She watved her hand gayly and cried out on the crisp aight “Bo long, you dear old open-work dar- stuck his head out of one of the prison Windows and cupped his hand behind hie ear, But Arthur was busy testing the radiators so as to be sure that the dear prisoners would be comfy in thelr cells, Arthur heard nothing, suspected nothing, dreamed nothing—absolutely not @ thing, until daylight 414 appean And when Arthur got wise it ts sald the charming man swooned, It {9 not diMcult to imagine the oon- sternation that accrued to Sheriff Brush and District-Attorney Green when they learned that Mies Harris had gone and beat Ht. Not even the fact that ehe had locked up after her served tn the least to assuage their Dditter feelings. She was a very important prisoner, was Esther—a woman charged with many bold and ingenious robberies. There were two grand larceny indict- ments against her, and Prosecutor Green considered that he had an open-and-shut cass under both indictments. ESTHER 18 A BULLY HOUSE. KEEPER, BUT—— Miss Esther Harris has sometimes been known as Miss Elizabeth A. Well. She formerly occupied expensive quar- ters in the Hotel Woodward on Broad- way. The Suffolk County complaint ainst her is that she robbed Miss Daisy Armstrong and Miss Helen Lowell, leading woman in ‘The Red Petticoat’ company, of several thousand dollars worth of jewelry. ‘The actresses have a summer villa at East Northport, L L, and it was just their poor fortune to engage Mise Har- ris ag @ housekeeper last fail.
