1 ' > CALLED OUT OF TOWN | $. =: =;'■'==■=: >;< 1 By JOAN BUGBY. i .luck Newton took down the telephone receiver as the bell rung sharp--1 ly. "Helio." he called. “Hello, Jackie!" came his sister’s , voice. "Are you in a very good humor today?" tie knew what was coming, so he 1 was prepared. "Not very,”- he au- ■ swereil. "Oh, pshaw! Well, anyway, I’m going to take a chance." “Well?" "Get tickets for the matinee, won’t you?” i “I hnd planned to go fishing." “I just thought so, that's why I'm ( heading you off. Now be clever. Jack, and say yes. It’s the best show of the season." > Jack knew it and began to soften. “I . don't know, sis, I'll see.” I “That’s the spirit, big brother. You'll thunk me some day for saving your life. It’s too cold to fish. You’ll get ’ pneumonia. And Jackie—” she paused. "What is it?” “Get three.” \ t He smelled a mouse. “Why-” * “Flo Van Buren’s here.” He exploded. “I thought there was a nigger In the woodpile!” She was accustomed to his roaring. “All right, Jackie. We'll be nt your • office at two. And do be in an amia- , ble mood. Flo is dying to meet you.” “I'm not going to spoil a perfectly . good Saturday afternoon trying to entertain a fool girl,” he declared to himself. “I’ll get the tickets and leave 1 them here, hut I’m going fishing.” Which he did. ‘ He went home after lunch, changed i Ills' clothes for nil the old things he could find in the attic, rubber boots . and all. and went out the back way across lots, down the road and across country to the~river. No one saw him except Susan, the second maid, who, t looking out of her own window, saw ! him leave the yard. [ “If those tramps don't stay away , from this place,” she said, “I’m going , to ask Mr. Newton to get a dog.” •In the meantime Claire nnd her ' guest went to Jack s office promptly at : two. On the table xvn< a note with two - tickets inclosed. “Sorry, not to be with you. but was called out of town on business. Have a good time. Jack.” ' “The beast!” cried Claire. “Well, we'll go to the theater, anyway, by • ourselves. I guess we’d better hurry. ’ What time is it?” - Flo pulled back her cuff to look at - her watch. "Why, I—lt isn’t here! 1 > haven’t got it; it's gone!” "Florence!” “Yes, sir. I've lost It! And dad gave it to mo when I graduated.” Clniro looked her distress. “Oh. I'm so sorry, dear. It was the handsomest ; one I've over seen.” Claire called up the house. “It that you. Susan? Will you look and see if Miss Van Buren left her watch there? Look all around, everywhere. I'll wait.” In five minutes Susan returned. “No. Miss Claire. I don't see it. I was just thinkin’. I saw a tramp leave the house a while ago and I’ll bet he stole it.” Claire screamed. “What's wrong?” cried Flo. "It’s gone—stolen! Susan says a 1 tramp took it. I’m going to call up the police." Which she did.Jack Newton, sitting peacefully by a bridge and puffing at his pipe, heard the clatter of hoofs. Looking up he saw three black uniformed gentlemen i in black helmets riding his way and evidently interested in him. “Brown hat turned down, old gray suit and rod sweater. It's him,” said one. riding quite close. “Yes, it's me,” answered Jack, "and I wish you'd shut up and go away. 1 You're searing all the fish." “You’re the fish we’re after, my man,” answered the other. “Stand up!” We're going to search you.” They turned out poor Jack’s pockets. And there was the watch! One of the policemen held it up triumphantly. “Here’s the watch ho stole from the Newton house. Come along with us." “But I didn’t get that watch in the Newton house. I found it there on the bridge." “Tell that to the judge. Just now shut up and come along.” There was nothing else to do, so Jack went. He would get no hearing until Monday he knew, so ho tried bribery. “Say, bobby, when you telephone to the Newton# that you found the watch, ask Miss Claire to come to the station, will you?<- I’ll see that you get something nice for it." "All right, I'll see what I can do.” So at five o’clock Claire nnd Flo appeared nnd were taken to the prisoner's quarters. “Jack!” screamed Claire. He grinned. “Did they give you the i watch? I found it on the bridge, but they pinched me for a tramp.” "That's whore we got out to fix the : tire!" both explained at once. “Jack, this is Miss Vari Buren. But I’ll introduce you better when you're out of this horrid place. You've made a nice mess out of things this afternoon. Now don’t you wish you'd gone with us?" And while Claire went away to hunt up somebody to get her brother released he looked al the girl he had declined to meet and who. after all, hb decided, was far nnd away,ahead of anyone he'd ever seen. “Yes. I wish I hnd," he said intensely. "It fust served me right." (Copyright, 1917. » t'luis Newfcpv uer Syndicate.)
