And that's how, a few minutes later, I happened to find myself ing into the muzzle of a six-shooter. "Shove over next to the boss!" snapped the masked artilleryman, "Think I want to get cross-eyed try. Ing to cover you both at once?" "The company's out just $345.48." said the grocer, looking ruefully af his empty cash "Yep," I sympathized. "That tie of ketchup cost me just forty.

Every evening for the next week or so I was called to various police stations to Identify, if possible, among the recently ar rested, our particular cannon-Jug gler. "Dear," said my wife, when I bad returned from my latest nightly, failure, "I've got a big surprise for you," and handed me my stolen wal: let with not one of the forty-two dollars missing. "Some one rang the bell; thrust it into my hand and disappeared before I had a chance to see who it was." she smiled. "Plain as day," I 1 said. "This hold.

I was surprised, on entering the grocery store, to see my old lieutenant, Wolfert, in earnest conversation with the managers. After mutual greetings and inquiries, dur ing which I learned that the lieutenant was now a salesman for the Excelsior Burglary Insurance company, I told them of the return of my wallet. "That's great stuff!" exclaimed Wolfert.

"And I was Just telling Mr. Schulz that he needn't worry about the loss of that money, because I've succeeded in convincing his corporation take Insurance policy ton all their stores throughout the country. As part of the transaction we had agreed to make good their recent loss. It'll mean lots of publicity for us; plenty of advertising." It was only after I had returned home and we had finished supper that I recalled having neglected to give the lieutenant my address. At this moment our doorbell rang, and before we had a chance to move we heard the door opened and banged shut, and a masked figure dashed into the room.

"Lieutenant!" I gasped. And In my excitement the only thing I could say was. "How did you And out my address?" he snapped. "Get out sour checkers. Lively now! Set 'em Just as if he was orderIng "squads right And I obeyed without question.

The doorbell rang. Somebody snocked. "Don't forget," said Wolfert, as 1 went to open the door, "I've been here a couple of hours." When I opened the door and saw those two burly, policemen before determined lost my nerve, and the lieutenant took command of the situation. "Right this way, officer," he called. "If, as I imagine, you're chasing some one." "Sure!" replied one of the police nen.

"A gun-man "What was the sell in here?" asked the other. "The woman heard a noise at the xitchen window. Some one climbing down the fire escape," Wolfert answered promptly. One of the officers dashed into the zitchen and out on the fre escape; the other ran out the door. Of course the chase was and soon Wolfert and I were facing each other in ellence.

My musings were interrupted by the lieutenant taking his pocket a roll of bills. Calmly, deliberately he began counting. "These Haddon bakeries do pretty good business, all right," he remarked. "You have no kick coming yourself," I joked. "But you might have gotten me into a fine mess." I added seriously.

"You're the last person in the world I'd have suspected of robbery." "Wait: not so fast he Interrupted. "You can't say that." "Didn't you hold up Haddon place and take their money? asked, my anger rising. "Yes," he replied calmly. "And held up Schulz and your ownself not so very long ago." "Man!" I excalmed. "Are you mad?" "What's the matter with you, how?" he snapped.

"Didn't you get your money back?" "Yes, thanks." I answered. didn't the XYZ get their money back?" "Yes." admitted. "And just as soon as the Had don people sign this policy covering all their stores, they're going to get theirs. You see, modern sales manship methods are progressing all the time. Does anybody lose be cause of my unusual methods?" he asked.

Following yesterday afternoon's session, the delegates were taken by automobile to Kis-Lyn, where they were given an opportunity to inspect the Luzerne county industrial school for boys which has grown to be a large and flourishing institution, under the direction of Charles Johnson, the superintendent. There are 204 boys being cared for at the present time. The buildings are of a most substantial character, all being of brick and concrete construction, and a number of them were built by the boys of the school. Much of the farm, dairy and orchard work is done by the boys, under experienced supervisors. The boys are housed in modern brick cottages, there being 24 in each cottage, cared for by experienced couple.

The cooking for each cottage is done in the cottage, much of it being done by the boys, some of whom have become expert cooks. Every modern convenience is provided in each cottage, including telephone and radio. The honor system prevails in the institution, and daily credits are given for good work and faithfulness. Superintendent Johnson explained that each day is a new day boy, the shortcomings of the past day being absolutely forgotten when the new day opens. School sessions are conducted for the boys, the same as in city or town.

and the new term opens next week. The boys spend half a day in the school room and the other half in outdoor work.

Only 10 of 15 years ago there were Pickfords, Fairbanks, Gishes, Talmadges and Swansons.

But now their names hint of flown ghosts. A few happily married, some have sought seclusion at the corners of the earth, others still struggle on in the film world, forever grasping at that which has slipped from them -youth and fame. Several have dropped from riches to poverty. stall public had no other movie before it 15 years ago except Florence But now the film glory that once was hers has faded with the rest of her forgotten kindred -Marguerite Clark, Gene Gauntier, Florence Lawrence, Mary Charleson, Ella Hall, Mario Walcamp, Mabel Trunnelle, Mary Fuller, Helen Holmes, Lottie Briscoe and countless others. Miss Turner is back at the scene of her early triumphs, but not as a star.

She goes from studio to studio seeking employment, but only now and then does she get work even as an "extra" $7.50 a day. She is still not 35. In 1913 she to Europe because of poor health and started her own film company. Due to the war it was a failure. All kinds of m.

I guess I'm through." Gene Gauntler, once known round the world as a star of the old Kalem Company, now lives in seclusion at Stockholm, Sweden. She, too, tried to come back, but found conditions in the industry so changed she could not succeed. For awhile she tried reporting on the Kansas City Post, but domestic troubles and the longing for the old film life caused ner to seek contentment in Europe.

When Mary Pickford was just starting in the movies, Florence Lawrence was enjoying world-wide popularity. Miss Lawrence's career as a star was abruptly terminated cight years ago when her face was badly burned in escaping from a burning building. All the skill of specialists could not restore her lost beauty and the loss of her cinema fame was inevitable. However, she refuses to give up the fight and is working as an pictures here. in film world as Mary Pickford, Clark, once as noted and Mary Charleson, star of the old Vitagraph Company, now are pily married.

The former is the wife of Harry Williams, of New Orleans, and the latter married Henry B. Walthall, the actor. "I found more happiness in my home than I ever could have found in the vain glory of seeking personal fame," says Walthall. And Mrs. Williams wires: "We are happy and that means everything in the world.

Years ago Ella Hall was the "child wonder of the movie lots." She deserted the screen to marry Emory Johnson, a director. She became the mother of three children and after fame came to her husband, he deserted her, according to her divorce complaint at Los Angeles. Nine ycars ago, Mary Fuller, once a star, suddenly disappeared. It was as though some gulf of obscurity had drowned her. Only recently was the wistful Mary found liv-' ing in seclusion with her mother in a Washington, D.

Where are the rest of these stars of yesterday who thrilled the hearts of men, women and children-Dorothy Bernard, Alice Hollister, Marion Leonard, May Hotaling, Edith Storey, Marie Walcamp. Billie Rhodes, Francelia Billington, Enid Marker, Claire Anderson. Dolores Casinellie. May Buckley, Maude Fealy, Juanita Dalmorez, Pearl Sindelar.
