PROLOGUE. This remarkably clever story S reminds one of a bunch of fire'll crackers because there is so | much snap and go in it. Inci--4 dent follows incident with such g rapidity that there is an almost f continuous fire of wit and hu- | mor. The play is one of the * funniest comedies ever written, . and the authors who novelized it have succeeded admirably in their task. From the first word | to the last “Stop Thief!” is full of laughter, with a bit of pathos ! here and there for contrast. k CHAPTER I. The Compact.

OLY SMOKE! Some one's pinched my watch!” A fat man in a brown sack suit, with red hair and white eye-

“IT i n

f lashes. yelped this pathetically and I hurled his bulk at the open gateway to i the trains at the Grand Central sta- , tion. He was stopped by the gate- | man’s elbow in his stomach. It was | one of those sharp, fleshless elbows. | and the fat man popped out an ago- | nized “woof!” | “Get back there!”’ grunted the gate | man. “You can't go sliding in that J way. What d’yer think this is—third ? base?—Where's your ticket?" “Aw. chase yerself!” snapped the fat ! man frdm the corner of his mouth f “I’m Lieutenant Thompson from the | central otiice. I'd run you in for a • nickel.” j “Detective, eh?” | “You heard what I said. Can the > conversation and let me through.” < The gateman moved aside, but only ! I for an instant. His business was the ) : taking of tickets, and a ticket taker is ■ the most suspicious animal on earth. 1 “If you’re a cop let’s see your badge.” I The other threw back his coat lapel. ; at the same time transfixing the recal s eitrant railroad minion with a haughty i glare. “Detective, eh?” and the acrid sar ■ easin with which the word was repeated made the fat man involuntarily look down at his waistcoat. “Sufferin’ mackerel! My shield is gone!" “Gee! He frisked you for fair, didn’t he?” drawled the gateman. with an unholy peal of mirth. “Detective, eh?” Some people have a perfect genius for -rubbing it in, but Lieutenant ) Thompson did not hear this last re ■ I mark. He had rushed through the I I gateway and was already bucking the I line of hurrying passengers from a | train that had just come in. He had F no time to think about his own person al loss then. T*he insolent marauder who had stolen his gold watch ami gathered in his silver shield as a pass ing insult, must go for the present. The lieutenant was expected to “get” I a certain slippery “second story man.” ( who was known to the police as the F “professor,” although he never yet had I been in their hands. 11-e also was an expert safe cracker. Private advices from an tinderworld bureau of information were that he would be on this train, and Lieutenant i Thompson had been intrusted with i the mission of bringing him in. ; “I’ve got to land that guy this time.” muttered Thompson as he scanned the ' crowd, “or it’ll be back to pounding the sidewalk for mine. Old man. I white hair, spectacles, looks like a pro fessor. and— Holy Moses! There he is!” He dived into the scurrying proces sion of passengers and was in trouble at once. The sharp edge of a suit case cut his shins, a man behind bumped him with an old fashioned carpet bag, and an excited. overheated middle aged woman just missed his eye with the > point of her wave tossed umbrella. He dodged back and was bunted by a baggage truck piled high with trunks and propelled by three huskies in overalls. ' who yelled at him in blasphemous rail roadese for getting in the way. The train—in from Boston—was emp fy by this time, and the last of the j passengers were squeezing through the ' exit gate, outside of which the usual ■ kissings and buggings and bandshak i ings bad caused the usual exasperating J congestion. > “Hello! Good luck!” ; Thompson’s eye had lighted on a eer- > tain individual who answered genet ; ally to the description of the man he was after and who was pushing his way toward the waiting room as if he - were in- a great hurry to get away from the station. The lieutenant’s official heart beat high with hope as he muttered to himself: » “That’s the professor or I’m a farmn " er! Blowed if he ain’t working his p graft right now! 1 seen him feeling for that boob’s ’leather’ in front of . him. He’s a smooth ‘dip’ all right. It hp hadn't just come in on that train ■J I'd say it was him who snitched my watch outside there.” The person he suspected was an el i, derly, white haired man. whose half open mouth and mild blue eyes sug gested only absentmindedness and a -benevolent outlook on the cold world. He wore a straight brim top hat. a black coat and a string tie. All Id all,

he looked much more like a professor—bewildered by finding himself away from the campus and classroom—than a burglar. “All the more reason why you should spot him for a crook.” was what Lieu tenant Thompson would have said, out of the profoundly of his police ex perieuee "We've got the mugs and huger prints of hundreds of these innocent looking professors at headquar ters.” Thompson threw himself bodily into the crowd and rushed along, shoving people right and left until he had nearly reached the “professor." In fact be had his right hand out to grab the collar of the highly respectable frock coat under the fringe of white hair Then, somehow, his feet l-v.-anie entnn gled 4n something that yelped and squirmed and snapped, and two strong bands caught him by the shoulders and shoved him back, the face of a determined hc'!;mg yom.g m;:n . close to bis own. and from the. deter mint'd lips shot the soothing words: “You big lunkhead! Wh.-it are you walking on the young lady's d. g for?" Now. a policeman, parti ula: ly a lieu tenant, does not like to be eail.-.i a lunkhead by a stranger, and Thompseti was not in a good humor just then, anyhow. So he seized the arm of the determined youhg man ami gave him i the professional shake which means : that the person shaken is under arr.- t j The young man did not resist, l-nt ' while the lieutenant held bi n bx ::is left arm the prisoner's right hand di’ ed swiftly into his own coat pocket o;> i t t I, S| B isa “You big lunkhead! What are you walking on the young lady's dog for?” the right side, fished out a gold watch and police shield and passed them into the hand of the modest appearing, pret ty girl whose half portion Puil 1.-g imd been trodden on at. 1 which aggrieved animal she now held in one a: u The girl bad a face of siugn.l.ir sweet ness, enhanced by dark gray < yes and cßbeks of delicate pit;k. with a d . ph i or two where they would :.; i-ar : look . best. Witbout a change of ex I pression she slipped the watch into i her hand bag. did something else with tbe shi'eld. hugged her smalt bulldog closer and walked quietly away from the station. She was not surprised when, ten minutes later, tiie young man who had called -Lieutenant Thompson a “hod: ! head” strolled up to her deliberately, but somewhat breathless. When he I spoke his voice came in windy jerks, while he pressed one baud involun larily to his side. “You got away all right. Jack.” said the girl, with a smile that hud in it a j pathetic weariness “But 1 knew you ! would You always do." I “Os course 1 did. Neil But I had to give rum -the root.' rra graa r aian’V have my old ‘professor’ makeup on. i tripped him and ducked through the crowd before he could straighten up But he's a mighty sere cop", 1 tell you. I'll have to keep my lamps trimmed fol- him so long as I'm in New York. He only got a glimpse of my face; that's one thing. The. fool was looking for tbe eld man, of course, and he never suspected me. Got the stuff I passed you?” "Yes.” The weariness in her smile was also in her voice us she placed in bls hand the watch he had given her at the station, and he stopped under the electric lamp to inspect the booty. “Curious that I should run up against that cop twice, wasn't it? I got his watch and shield before he ran into the gate. Then wham he trod on your dog and tried to pinch me afterward, of course 1 had to get the things away in case he should go through me and find ’em. Say. Nell, this watch is a gold repeater. Listen.” , • He held the watch to her ear. and she heard a soft silvery bell strike nine ,

I times. Then came a chime of one note i striking the quarter hour. • “That means that the time is somewhere betwfttt a quarter and half past !9. It always gives the last quarter ' hour that has passed. If it was after ! half past 9 /ou would hear the quarI ter strike twice. Understand?’ “Isn't it wonderful?” breathed Nell ' “1 never saw a watch like that before. ! But you'd better get rid of it. Jack ! Somebody might hear it striking in i your pocket" “Don't get scared, kiddo It strikes ! only when you press a spring It s ! handy when you want to know the time in the dark. It must have set ! somebody back ,W> bucks.” “The man you got it from?” “No!" was the scoraful negative “He never paid tor it He's a cop That reminds me—where's his sb.ieid'm Got it?” “No I thought it might get us into trouble some time, so I dropped it in the depot ” z “That was dangerous. Nell. Some body might have seen it lying there." “No; not where I put it." was her calm reply. "This job tomomw is g> . ’ ing to be the last, isn't It. Jack?” 1 “Yes. Nell, it is. 1 passed you my . word, and you ought to know that it iis good. We'll make that cleanup ( where you're going to work in Sev enty-second street, and then well g" J west, and I'll never turn another trick sis long as 1 live. Isn’t that clear enough, kiddo?” “Yes. Jack. Then you und Stinger , and 1 will get away from New York , I forever. My. I shall be glad to be on ’ the train! Won’t you. : er?" J "You have the job eiuched. haven t > you. Nell?" t "Yes. I went this afterue a. an! they liked my looks." "Don't blame 'em. So do 1." inter i jected Jack Doogan. : “And tbe old lady. Mrs. Carr, eugag s ed me as lady's maid right away.

"Only what 1 saw as I went into t’l ■ 1 sitting room through the hall. But i’ll have it all before you want it i'll telephone you when to come.” ' “Some swell joint, isn't it?

It was a very dark part of Madison I avenue that they had reached by this I time, and it isn't likely any one saw .Tack Doogan put his arms around Nell I and the bulldog and give, U:e girl a | quick but thoroughly earnest kiss.

But I think you are under a misapprehension. My name is Carr—Wil liam Carr, of the importing firm of Scott, Carr & Co., Pearl street.
