STATE TO RATIFY CHILDLA6OR ACT Women’s Organizations to Lead in Move, Although the Indiana State law on child labor is strict in itself, sters are undor way by various organizations to secure ratification of the new national child labor amendment at the next session of the Legislature, according to Mrs. Edward Franklin White, chairman of the committee of the Legislative Council of Indiana Women. The national amendment is only permissive, and would give Congress right to enact child labor legislation with wider powers than most States would approve, Mrs. White said. Mrs. W. T. Barnes, State chairman of the League of Women's Voters. is also leading in the move for ratification. Mrs. E. C. Rumpler is head of the Legislative Council. Mrs. White declared there was no question but that the State Legislature would ratify the national amendment. NEWSIE STRUCK BY AUTO Boy Badly Frightened and Holds on to Half Dollar.

‘Black Maria’ - Causes Stir

Ding, ding, ding! Here comes the wagon. And inhabitants of Indiana Ave. throv- wide the doors and open the windows and put on their best smile, as the “Black Maria” roars down the street. Somehow- there is no smile quite like the smile that comes when the police patrol rolls serenely after some luckless young buck w-ho was attempting to better his fortunes in a craps game or perhaps indulging in a drink party. From every hand a countenance with and ear to ear grin peers forth. And when the call box is reached a crowd stands a few- paces from the culprit and casts jocular remarks at him. "Is you all goin’ to stay?” “No, I ain’t. At least I don’t 'spose I am,” says the offender. "80, you all is done gwine,” another says with a -chuckle. “Mr. Poe-liceman, you all ain't keepin’ me for good, is you?” the luckless one implores. “Come on, here. Climb in,” says the cop, trying to stifle a laugh. So they go. Back down the avenue, with the prisoner waving his haqd and “Good-by, Bo; good-by, Liza,” and “See you all down in the I jail-house.” And the crowd still grins and laughs.

BEGIN HERE TODAY John Air.sley. a man of education ar.d breeding, becomes a master crook—preying upon their thieves. At a resort hotel he unfairly loses SSOO in a golf bet with Ernest Vantine. chief owner of a detective agency—a course, boorish individual. Vantine is engaged to a Miss Kemoohan, daughter of a wealthy retired broker. Kernochan shows Ainsley a ring, an enormous lby—a present to his daughter. He had acquired the ruby in settling a claim against the estate of a millionaire by the name of Henry Adams. Interviewing Adams' widow. Ainsley finds that the elderly woman's husband became indebted to Kernochan in a deal which appears on the surface to have been a swindle. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY l r ~"l\.M sorry.” I told her. And i j I indeed I was. She was so L—— courageous and her voice, when she mentioned her husband's name, was so sad that my heart went out to her . I have known widows who would have berated their husbands for leaving them unprovided for, but Mrs. Adams was not that kind. The memory of her husband was her dearest possession, infinitely more valuable than the Grand Duke’s jewels. I felt a wave of sentiment engulfing me; but I metaphorically swam to shore. My business fceld no room for sentiment. And so I broached the real reason for my call. . .‘‘V had hoped,” I said, “to obtain a photograph of the ruby ring. I plan to illustrate my text.” 1 I waited for her reply; upon it everything depended. And luck was with me. “I have a paste copy of the ring;” she told me. “Henry had it made immediately upon his return to America with the stone. You see”— and her faded cheeks colored prettily—“l was - 't quite honest a moment ago. .1 am a countrywoman: but still, I am a woman. And T did want to wear that ring. Every one knew that Henry owned it, and —one is as silly at 60 as at 16. Sillier! And yet the jewel was toa precious. So Henry had the copy made, and once or twice I wore it. I wonder if all realities are shams and all shams realities? Anyway, I

have the copy, and if that would do you any good. I am quite sure that you are welcome to it.” I turned my head away, lest she observe the gleam in my eye. It was with difficulty that I kept my voice steady, as I assured her that I would be most grateful if she would lend me the imitation for a few weeks. s Half an hour later I left her. For the first time since I had definitely adopted my new profession, I felt sick at heart. For Mrs. Adams had insisted that I stay to tea with her. Knowing her poverty, I was loath to add the slit test expense to her straitened budget. Yet it was not that which made me swallow her food and drink with effort; It was the fact that this brave old lady, who somehow made me think of a’ apple, wrinkled as to skin, but sound and sweet within, thought me to be as honest as herself. She questioned me about my life, my family, and I fed her lies. I was sick and ashamed, and wrathful at the weakness which made me feel this way when I left her. I sent her the finest box of candy the city could provide, yet somehow seemed to feel that my gift was an insult. For a moment I was tempted to abandon my project; then my own self-disgust-aroused in me an anger toward Kernochan. For some things we need no proof susceptible to analysis by the five senses. A sixth sense tells us truth. Just as a child somehow knows truth, by instinct, so we adults occasionally preserve the gift of childhood. I say that instinct lives within us all, the heritage of a thousand generations, and that we are fools who disdain it and preferXjur lyiny senses. I knew, as definitely as though I had witnessed the performance of the chicanery, that Kernochan had swindled Adams’ widow. He deserved to lose the ruby. There was something else, too. Vantine was a famous detective, as 'well as a boorish cheat. At least, he had inherited a great detective agency. He had thought me a stupid gull; it would afford me a certain

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

peculiar satisfaction if I repaid his opinion of me by taking his fiancee’s r%g. I do not mind losing a wager to a gentleman; but a man who will inveigle strangers into unfair speculation, is a cad and deserves punishment. Besides, if I must be honest—and it affords me, who am a thief, a peculiar joy to indulge myself, in these memoirs, in the unusual luxury of honesty —the grand duke's ruby was worth $300,000. 1 know no argui ments that could seem so potent to me. “THREE HUN DRED AND TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND!”So behold me, two weeks later, driving into the Kernochan estate at Greenwich. I, who had gone a year without being able to afford a ride in a taxicab, now sat behind the wheal of my roadster. On the trunkrack behind was a box in which were evening clothes, lounge-suits, shirts of finest linen, silken socks, and all those other concomitants of wealth. Wedged in the seat beside me were my golf sticks. I looked? with all my furnishings, what I was; a gentleman. I also looked what I was not; a millionaire. I had taken the precaution of telephoning from the near-by town f Stamford; and so, when I arrived at the vulgarly ostentatious residence of Kernochan, Vantine was there. It was Saturday, and I had felt fairly certain that the detective would spend a week-end at the home of his fiancee. My logic was justified by the event. For Miss Kernochan had answered my telephone call, had invited me .to luncheon,

and had assured me that Vantine would doubtless be willing to offer me revenge. Vantine was willing; indeed, he was anxious. We arranged that we should play on the course of a nearby club, immediately after luncheon. It irked me to accept the Kernochan hospitality; but all professions have their disagreeable sides. And so I ate their foods with relish. I will say for Kernochan that his cook was good. That is about all I can" say for him. For not merely was he boastful as to his-wealth, but he showed an unpardonable curiosity toward myself. I indulged myself in a certain gift for fiction. I named a city in the West as my home. I skillfully created the impression that I was immensely rich, that a wound received in the war had incapacitated me for active work, and that I divided my time between America and Europe, wandering wherever I thought I might find amusement. I told tlft-m that I had acquired my car at Pinehurst and had motored north, golfing on the way. Also I warned Vantine that my game had improved, and suggested that we make the stakes a thousand dollars this time. He accepted with elation. Three hours later, on the fifteenth green, I handed him a thousand dollars. "I can’t understand It,” I said pettishly. "I just can’t get going today.” He grinned. Had he chosen, he could have won earlier, and my ex cuse was ridiculous. “We might play again tomorrow.” he suggested. “For two thousand dollars,” I cried. He turned away to hide a smirk. “Just as you say,” he replied. I had yielded to Kernochan’s solicitous invitation that I dine with them and play some bridge later. In addition to his other disqualifications, Kernochan was a snob. And I fear that my careless mention of certain names highly placed in international society had given the Kernochans a false Idea of my own social position. They were not going to let depart, too easily, one who might graciously open doors forever barred to a certain class of broker, and to detectives. At dinner Miss Kernochan wore her ruby ring. I had not invested in a motor ear, nor in a golf-match with Vantine, in vain. Before dinner was half over, Kernochan, learning of tomorrow’s match, insisted that I must spend the night in his house. I could offer no valid excuse; and so upon my acceptance, the matter was settled. Not until Miss Kernbciian and myself having lost a rubber, we were

cutting again for partners, did I appear to notice the ruby ring. “I see that you've had the setting fixed,” I then remarked. Kernochan nodded. "Daragon’s offered me three hundred and twentyfive thousand for that ring.” he declared. “But it ain't for sale. I guess my girl is good enough to have a ring like that for herself.” She simeperd, not prettily. I could not hut contrast this insolent and common-looking woman with the sweetly dignified lady from whom, by chicanery, the ring had been taken. I whistled. “Three hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars!" I exclaimed. “It doesn’t seem possible Still, it is beautiful.” I leaned over, looking at the stone. Miss Kernochan did the obvioiVe thing. She slipped the ring from her finger and handed it to me.-* Now, I had not intended to put into effect certain plans, which had brought me to this house, so soon. Brit a storm had been brewing during diner; it burst now with a clap of thunder and a flash of lightning. And a moment later the lights in the library went out. Miss Kernochan screamed in alarm. Her father laughed. “They'll he on again in a minute, Alice,” he told her. “This often happens during a storm, Mr. Ainsley,” he said to me. (Continued in Our Next Issue.)
