STOP THIEF! Novelized From the Great Play of the Same Name by George C. Jenks and Carlyle Moore Copyright. 1913. by the H. K. Fly Company He had' Just bung up the receiver when Mr. Carr came in at the other door, communicating with the upper part of the house, talking to his daugh ter. Caroline, who was with him: “But don’t you remember. Caroline? Don’t you remember my showing it to you in this room?" “Os course I do. father." replied Caroline. “You must have mislaid It Thnt is the only way to account for it ’’ “What are you going to do about it? That’s the question,” put in Cluney. looking around. “I’m going to telegraph the jeweler it’s lost” answered Mr. Cafr. Then, as a bright idea came to him. he added: “Better still. I’ll telephone the newspapers and advertise for it. That’s what I’ll do.” it was at that instant that Mr. Carr’s eyes and mouth opened together in astonishment. and he uttered a queer lit tie bleat of joy. He had been on his way to the table to take up the telephone. Instead he pounced upon the box that Nell had just put on the table and opened it The previous pigeon blood ruby ring was inside. “Hurrah! Hail Columbia!” he shouted frantically. “This is it! I’ve found it! I’ve found it! I’ve found it!" The spectacle of an elderly, usually sedate gentleman, with white hair, dancing the cancan, is not common in the genteel residences of West Seven-ty-second street it is said. But Mr. William Carr treated his daughter Caroline and James Cluney to an exhibition of that sort for several moments as he waved the box above his head, while Caroline pushed open the door to scream into the hall: “He’s found it! He’s found it! He’s found it!” “I’ve found it! I’ve found it! I’ve found it!” repeated Mr. Carr again and again, as Madge, the minister and Dr. Willoughby came in. v “Where did you find it?” asked Willoughby. “Right here on the table, where 1 laid it,” replied Mr. Carr, hardly able to articulate for excitement “See. here’s the box." “Jove! That’s the empty box I left there,” said Cluney aside to Willoughby. “Oh. Lord!” ejaculated the doctor. “May 1 see it, daddy?” asked Madge, holding out her hand for the ring. “Os course, dear. Isn’t it a beauty?' As Madge took the ring from the box where the late afternoon sun streamed through the window full upon it, making it look like a thing of living fire. Dr. Willoughby and James Cluney stored at it in bewilderment "Oh. it’s gorgeous. l ” sighed Madge. “James, dear, look! A beautiful pigeon blood ruby! You’re the dearest dad in all the world!” she. added, kissing her father. “Well, now that we are all happy again, don’t you think we’d better have the wedding?” suggested Mr. Spelain. who was thinking of the other nuptial engagement he had for that day. “Yes. yes,” agreed Mr. Carr. “Let’s have the wedding.” Strangely enough, James Cluney drew back and answered, with some embarrassment: “Just a moment, darling. 1 want a few words with Mr. Willoughby first. “Don’t keep us waiting, boys,” admonished Mr. Carr as he. Madge. Caroline and the minister all went out together. “Well. Willoughby.” said Cluney when they were alone, “what do you make of this?” Dr. Willoughby did not answer at once, but there was a world of meaning in the distressed gaze be bent upon the very much perturbed bridegroom “I thought you said the box was empty. James!” were Willoughby’s first words. “So it was.” “But it wasn’t,” insisted the doctor. “1 can swear it was.” “Well, the ring couldn’t have walked back into the box.” “That’s true, too,” admitted Cluney slowly. “But”— “See here, James.” said the doctor. “Are you absolutely sure you didn’t take that box and put it in your pocket?” “Os course 1 am,” was Cluney’s indignant rejoinder. “I never saw the d— thing till 1 found it there.” “Sure you’re not mistaken?” “Mistaken! How could I be mistaken?” “You were mistaken about the box being empty, weren’t you?” “I don’t think so. But”- He broke off abruptly and. looking wistfully into Willoughby’s face, wailed. “Say. doctor. what the dickens is the matter with me anyway?" Suddenly he pulled out a handsome gold watch from one bf his trousers pockets and almost shrieked: “Why. what the devil is this?” “Why. it’s my watch. 1 was wondering where It had gone.” “But where did 1 get it?" demanded James Cluney miserably. “That’s just it Where did you get it?’ “Oh. yes. 1 remember now.” returned Clnney In awe stricken tones. “I was in your consultation room for a few minutes with you this afternoon. I recollect seeing the watch on the table. 1 must have token it then—un consciously." f “Unconsciously! You must have done It when I wasn’t looking, you know.”

James Cluney shuddered, and the doctor went on kindly and seriously: “See here. James. I want to ask you something In your answer I want the truth. Now. don’t be offended. Have you ever taken anything before?’ “What do >on mean?" snapped Cluney “Do you think I am a thief?” “No. no. Don’t misunderstand me” “But ynn Insinuate that I take things.” “Unconsetonsly In a moment of ex -•ttemenj like this—your wedding day ’ “1 never heanl such rot. 1”— “UneonseioiiF kleptomania, we doeMors call It Why. it’s comnion now ■days.” “It Is?” “Certainly. I know hundreds of <-ases Now. in ymir knowledge was there ever a kleptomaniac in your fam lly?” “Why. Is it hereditary? My Lord! That uncle I told you about! The one who used to suffer from paroxysms of lying! Maybe he was a kleptomaniac, too, though 1 never heard of it.” “Now. don’t let it ewite you. it’s not incurable. We ll get it in its early stages, and”— “Early stages be hanged!" shouted Cluney. as be plunqked himself down upon the sofa. Dr Willoughby seated himself on the sofa by the side of bis friend and said soothingly: “Keep cool, Janies. It’s no crime it’s a disease.” “Disease! Oh. what are yon talk iug"--“Don’t lose your temper.” pleaded Willoughby. “If your nerves fail you’ll lose your power of will to. regulate your actions. Whatever you do. don’t mention this to a soul. If they ever learn that your uncle was a kleptomaniac they’ll watch you like hawks.” “But. see here, doctor, this is ridiculous. Why. you can’t imagine for a moment that I”— “There, there! Now, change the subject.” he begged. “1 can’t change the subject You really believe I’ve inherited that confounded uncle's infirmity, though you told me at my rooms that 1 was in no danger.” “We were talking about lying, then,” Willoughby reminded him quietly. “But never mind. Forget it. please. As a medical man 1 know what is best, and I tell you to forget it.” “Forget it? One moment you tell me I’m a kleptomaniac and the next you prate to me that I must forget It. Ha. ha. ha!” “Don’t worry, old man. There’s no occasion for it. Here”—he took a bundle of neatly folded papers held together by a rubber band from his coat pocket and gave them to Cluney—“here’s something to occupy your mi&d —your international steel bonds.” “Steel bonds?” growled Cluney. “I don’t want any steel bonds.” “Why. you phoned me to get them out of the vault and bring them to you." “Oh. Lord! I’m so excited 1 forgot. Yes. I’m going to give them to Madge for a wedding present” “Mother’s lost her ear trumpet!” Like a hollow voice from the tomb came this awful announcement It was Mr. Carr speaking. He had entered the room unseen and was lookT Ok, Billl “Oh, Lord! I’m so excited I forgot!” ing vacantly around without paying any attention to what the two young men had been talking about. “Oh. Lord!” groaned Cluney. “It was a beautiful jeweled ear trumpet.” went on Mr. Carr fatuously. James Cluney whispered in agonized tones to Willoughby. “Do yon suppose”— “No. no." replied Willoughby, in a low voice. “Don’t worry.” “Have either of you seen it?” asked Mr. Carr. "An, ear trumpet?" fenced Dr. Willoughby. “No. I”— "Mother thought this was it.” explained Carr, holding up the piece of garden hose. “But I can swear 1' put tftiis hose in this table drawer the last dime 1 was in this room ” He opened the drawer as he spoke and. with an interjection of surprise and pleasure, drew’ from it the missing ear trumpet

“Why. here it is!” be exclaimed “How did it get in there?" The problem was too much for him so he did not try to work it oat; but. putting the piece of hose in the drawer and laying the ear trumpet on the table. he turned to Cluney and said: “James. Cluney—l mean Madgetold me to tell you”— “Oh. Mr. Carr.” Interrupted Clnney as he held out the packet of bonds, “will yea please put this in a safe place for me till after the wedding?” “What is it?” asked Mr. Carr. “A present for Madge." r “Oh. I see." said Carr as he took the bonds and flipped them through his fingers. “International steel bonds, eh? Why. 1 have a bundle of those things in my safe now. Took them from Douglas Jamison—you know him —as security for a loan. They don’t earn enough to pay interest. He’s going to redeem them today, thank heaven! No more speculative stock for me.” “But these aren’t .speculative.” corrected Dr. Willoughby. “They are bonds guaranteed to pay 6 per cent The common stock is speculative. Perhaps that’s what you’ve token as se-~ curity.” “Oh. that’s so," said Mr. Carr, looking at the bonds again. “These are bonds, of course. Here, put them in the safe. James.” He handed the packet of bonds to James Cluney and turned away, as if he did not want to be bothered with them, while Cluney went to the safe and tried to open the door. “The safe is locked. Mr. Carr,” he said. “Oh. so It is. I’d forgotten. Wait I’ll give you the combination.” He took out a notebook and consulted it while he dictated.. “Right,” proclaimed Cluney as he opened the safe door. Then, standing up. the bonds in his hand, he said. “I wish you’d put these bonds in the safe, if you don’t mind.” “Certainly.” said Mr. Carr, taking the bonds. "What’s the matter? Afaid to trust yourself around where there are valuable articles?’ CHAPTER VII. y The Interloper. JAMES CLUNEY turned quickly to look at Dr. Willoughby, who motioned to him not to betray himself. William Carr put the bonds in the safe and took from it a magnificent sunburst pin. "What do you think of that?” he asked as he held out the sunburst to Cluney. The young man was about to take it. Then he abruptly thrust his hands behind him as if he were afraid of it. “By George, that’s a beauty!” he declared. looking at the sunburst as it lay in Mr. Carr’s palm. “I didn’t know you went in for jewelry.” “Mother's always afraid of losing it.” said Mr. Carr as he put the sun burst back in the safe. “It will be Madge’s some day.” H.e was in*the act of closing the safe door when Mrs. Carr called from outside the room in the hall: “William, William!” “Yes, mother!” he shouted bafck. “Did you find my ear trumpet?’ He jumped up as he shut the door of the safe, but in his agitation forgot to lock it and called out: “Your ear trumpet? Yes, here it is.” Hastily grabbing the telephone, he had taken a step or two away from the table when Dr. Willoughby stopped him and. depriving him of the telephone instrument, put the ear trumpet in his hand, remarking, with a smile: “You’ve got the wrong article, Mr. Carr.” “He’s nearly as bad as.you are, old man,” laughed Dr. Willoughby to James Cluney. “This wedding has got him all fussed up.” “It’s all very well to laugh.” complained Cluney. “but this is a very serious matter. If you really think I am a kleptomaniac this marriage ought to be postponed.” The two went out. and for a few moments the library was empty. Then the door communicating with the kitchen part of the house opened, and Nell came in with a noiseless step. One glauce around, and she shook her head at somebody outside. “Hush!” she hissed. Jack Doogan walked into the room and glanced appreciatively at the evidences of wealth he saw on every side. “Some swell dump, Nell!” “Hush. Jack!” “What’s the matter. Nell?” “Take it on the run. Jack!” she whispered hurriedly. “We’re in wrong here. They’ve telephoned headquarters for a plain clothes man.” “They’re on to us?” “No, not yet. They thought they’d lost a ring. I’d copped it. But I slip ped it back.” “Slipped it back? What did you do that for?" he asked in a disgusted tone. “So they'd find it and stop looking for it I’ll stick around here. Jack, but you beat it—quick!”. “And leave you to take a chance? Not on your life! Not me! Now. don’t get panicky, Nell. We’re bound to have luck now that we’re going to turn straight. Remember, this is to be our last trick.” “You really mean that Jack, don’t you?” said’ the girl anxiously. “I gave you rrft word, didn’t 1?’ he returned. “And say. what’s the matter?! Don't you think I love you?’ “Yes, Jack. I believe that” “And you’re going to marry me, ain’t you?” “Yes, Jack.” “Well, that’s why I’m going to turn straight.” he said emphatically. "But will you stay straight Jack?” “You bet I will. Say, look here, Nell Everybody in the world has got an ambition. You’re mine, honey. Here I’ve got something to show you,” be went on as he took a folded paper from his inside pocket “It’s our mar riage license We’ll be spliced this evening, and then the ‘straight and narrow’ for ours evermore. But we’ve got to get a bank roll to make an hon est start with, ain’t we?" He kissed the girl affectionately and idded in a brisk tone: “Come on, Nell, et’s clean up. What’s loose?” “Wedding presents and the family silver,” was her answer. “Family silver ain’t enough to make

an honest start with," was Ids "brief dictum. “Have you got the combination of this?’ He was pointing to the safe. “No, Jack. I’ve only been here twenty minutes.” “I'll turn it inside out in less than that time." he declared confidently. “There’s a getaway front and back, isn’t there?" “Look out. Jack! There’s somebody ! coming." warned the girl eagerly. “Quick, get in that closet!" Mrs Carr and her busband came in. They were talking earnestly and concerning the same kind of thing that had occupied the attention of the household—namely, the mysterious disappearance of some article of value. “Yes. it’s most extraordinary." said *Mrs. Carr. “I was showing it to Joan In this room only a few moments ago. and she tells me that she showed it to you.” “Nonsense!” snapped Mr. Carr. “Did you find the ring, ma’am?” asked Nell. “Oh, yes,’’ replied Mrs. Carr shortly. “We found the ring, but now we’ve lost a diamond bracelet” • “A diamond bracelet, ma’am!” exclaimed Nell, with becoming awe. “Oh. dear!” “But you took It out with you. didn't you. mother?’ put in Mr. Carr. “And you haven't been in here since, so it must be in some other' part of the house." “I’ll look al! over, ma’am.” volunteered Neil. “Perhaps you dropped it on the stairs. I'll search very thoroughly.” “Yes, do. 1 hope you’ll find it.” Nell bowed and went out ostensibly to look on the staircase, but'really in the hope that Mrs. Carr would follow with her husband and give Jack Doogan a chance to get away. “William,” said Mrs. Carr when they were alone. “I hate to suggest it, but are you sure you haven’t taken it?" Mr. Carr frowned and began to go through his pockets irritably. — “Mother, how could I”— he began Then, with a shamed face, he slowly drew the bracelet from his pocket “William!’’ cried Mrs. Carr reproach fully. . “Well, now, how did that get Into my pocket?" said Mr. Carr in a tone of perplexity. “William.” Intoned Mrs. Carr solemnly as she took the bracelet from him, “you’ve gone back to taking things again." The bracelet was an extremely beautiful one and had cost a great deal of money, for it was Mrs. Carr’s wedding present to her daughter, and the mother had not spared her own or her husband’s pocketbook in procuring the best she could get. William Carr gazed at it dubiously. “Mother. I haven’t taken anything for years.” be protested into her ear trumpet She shook her head and sat down by the table in sad thought for a second or two. Then: “William. I wish you would realize what a dreadful thing it would be for Madge if James should find out about your affliction. He would think you were a”— “A thief! A thief!" spluttered William Carr, more violently than it was his wont to speak. “Go on. say it Any one who knows me knows better. They know that when 1 take things I always put them back—if 1 don’t forget it It’s absentmindedness, mother. I just can’t help it” “I know, dear—l know. But do be careful,” she answered as she laid the bracelet on the table. “Please be careful for Madge’s sake.” “I’ll be careful, mother. I’ll be careful.” She got up and went to the bookcase, where she selected a volume she wanted. It occupied her perhaps two minutes. In that time William Carr picked up the bracelet, looked at it a moment as if examining its Workmanship. and then calmly put it into his pocket. He had just bidden the bracelet when his wife came back to the table, book in hand, and looked about anxiously: “Why. where is it?” she exclaimed. “The bracelet! I laid it on the table a moment ago.” “Here it is.” said William Carr, with a queer smile, and he took the article from his pocket and put it on the table. “Williamr cried Mrs. Carr reprovingly as she turned over the leaves of her book to assure herself she had the one she wanted. Mr. Carr, still smiling, did not reply, but he quietly picked up his wife’s ear trumpet and the bracelet from the table and placed them on another bookcase. which chanced to be close to the door of the.closet in which Jack Doogan was hidden. Then the old gentleman walked back to the table with his hands up, to show that they were empty. , “Madge wants you. Mrs. Carr.” said Dr. Willoughby, coming in hastily. “Oh. yes. thank you. doctor,” responded Mrs. Carr graciously. “Come along. William.” Dr. Willoughby ran quickly to the telephone and called “Central” with a sharp “Hello!” The door of the closet opened and Doogan’s hand reached out to the top of the bookcase and picked up the bracelet and ear trumpet Before the hand could be withdrawn, however. Dr. Willoughby continued into the telephone. “Give me police headquarters!” and Doogan swiftly replaced the bracelet and ear trumpet on the bookcase, drew back into the closet and shut the door. James Cluney entered, a picture of misery. “What are you telephoning for?’ he asked wearily. (Tn I'e continued —) How’s This ?
