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

“Well, what do you want to say t? me now?” “Just this, Mr, Cluney. 1 helped you. didn't I?” “Did you. though?” “Who stole the ear trumpet and the diamond bracelet?” “1 don't know.” mumbled Cluney. “That's just it.” rejoined Jack Doo- | gan with a grin of meaning that had a very unpleasant effect on James ! Cluiiey’s nerv&s. “You don't know.” “What dopyou mean?” Dr. Wilj loughby demanded. “1 mean.” said Doogau deliberately | as he looked at Cluney and then turnI ed his eyes on William Carr for a mo- ‘ ment before bringing them back to I Cluney. “1 mean that these two men I are a couple of self confessed kleptoI maniacs.” “Mr. Doogau, for heaven's sake, re- ' member your promise.” beseeched Mrs. Carr. “That's just what I am .trying to do," said Jack. “But don’t you see, madam, that if you get the police back here it will mean a scandal for you? If you drag me to the police court, do you think I'm going to keep my mouth shut while her liberty is at stake?” He stopped and drew his arm caressingly around Nell’s shoulders. There was a choke in his voice and a mistiness in his eyes. “Why, she's all I’ve got in the world,” he went on. “Think for a minute what that means to a man like me. who has been fighting for what be wanted ever since he was a little kid. And 1 tell you that I'd lie and steal and fight and die for her!” "This was to be our last trick.” added Nell simply as she looked into the' curious faces about her. “We were going to live straight after todayjack and I.” r “Yes.” said Doogan, looking down at i her tenderly. “We were going to be j married today.” Mrs. Carr was visibly impressed by ' Jack Doogan's plea and by the fact that beyond question he was unselfishly in love with the pretty lady’s maid. Besides this, she realized that if she j meant to hide from the world any ! longer the unfortunate weakness of j her absendminded husband for appro- j printing other people's property it would be well to make a compromise with this candid thief. “You were going to be married to-! day?” she asked at last as if she did not quite understand. It was on the tip of the good lady's tongue to add. “1 didn't know people of your sort generally troubled about getting married.” “Perhaps you don't understand, ma'am,” returned Jack Doogau, “or i maybe you've forgotten. You're not so young as you were, you know”— Mrs. Carr sniffed—“and it’s likely you’ve forgotten how you felt when you got hitched up to him,” pointing to . William Carr. “So you were going to be married ; today, were you. Doogan?” put ini James Cluney suddenly. “That's curi-; ous. I was going to be married too.” “1 know you were. Very well. then, j You ought to see that my proposition j is all right. Come op. Let's make an even break. If you get the police back here, what will it get you? A lot of .newspaper notoriety. What will it get us—this girl I love, this little girl, who is as good as gold from ‘ her heart outward and from her honest eyes back into her soul? What will it get us. 1 say? Why, ten years in the penitentiary.” Nell shivered, and Joan cast her) eyes upon the maid sympathizingly as she murmured: “Ten years in prison! A living death!” “1 can’t interfere. The girl’s a thief,” said Mrs. Caiy.-. There was silence for a few moments, f. iring which Jack Doogan touched : Nell’s soft cheek caressingly with the i back of his hand and whispered to her not to give up. He wouldn't have done it himself; and if he could have stopped Nell before she darted forward and tiuiig herself on her knees at Mrs. Carr’s feet he would have held her back at any risk. But he was too late. Nell was there, with her white hands raised in supplication. as she said piteously: “Mrs. Carr, give us a chance. He was going to turn straight for me. just as he says. He is straight at heart, and he never would have done a crooked thing again as long as he lived. Neither would 1. For God's sake. Mrs. Carr, give us this one chance!” “This is awful! William, what can I say?” She took her husband’s arm and ; moved away from the kneeling girl, ; shaking her head, while William Carr ; tried to assemble his vagrant thoughts i into some sort of order, but made an j exceedingly bad job of the operation. .Tack Doogan shrugged his shoulders as he watched them. “Don’t knuckle down to these dubs, Nell.” he whispered. “You don’t have to do it. I’m going to get us both out ■ of here. That’s a cinch.” As he seated her and noted the expression of confidence and hope in her piquant face he assumed a Jaunty air. “Come on. Mr. Cluney. Don't be a clam. Be a lot of regular fellows, you and your pals. The family ain’t lost anything. Their trunk is on a taxi right around the corner waiting for somebody to go and claim it. and I’ll tell you something that will make you • | 89Q4”- I

“What is it?” “Just tlds—you guys didn't steal a thing—nothing at all- You think you did. but you didn't•“ “I don't see what you mean exactly.” confessed James Cluney. passing his hand across his forehead, a favorite movement of his s : nee he had been sg sure ho was a klept mianiae. “1 haven't the faintest idee of what you're driving nt.” .-id led Dr. Willoughby. “I never stir:''sed 1 had stolen anything, and the otliers who may have picked up anything certainly did not do it with any criminal intent, it was a mistake." Jack Doogan gave vent to a loud, mocking laugh. Everyltody turned and looked at him indignantly. “A mistake, eb?“ he chuckled. “Why. doe, that's one of the oldest, thinnest excuses you ever hear in a courtroom. Os course it was a mistake. And there are more than 2.000 guys with short hair wearing dark gray clothes up in Sing Sing who made just that sort oi mistake some time or other. Mistake? Ha, ha. tia!" “You say that none of us stole any thing in this house, said Dr. Wil loughby. breaking into Jack Doogan's laughter. “Will you kindly explain what you menu by that?" “Sure 1 wilt. 1 stole all that stuff myself and plauted it on you fellows It was a cinch." “According to what you say." observer! Cluney. pulling himself together. “I'm not a kleptomaniac.” “Kleptomaniac nothing!'' was Jack Doogan's disdainful reply. "Haven’t 1 just told you?" “Then, of course. I’m grateful. Doo gan And I should like to help you if 1 could. But if you're a thief, why"— “Ah! Cut that out! 1 haven’t held out a worth in this house, and you all know iff That's why I'm asking you to wipe the slate clean and make a new start.” "But you tried to steal!" put in Dr Willoughby. “I hope you are not really a thief. Mr. Doogan,” said Joan coming to him and smiling. “Thank you. miss.” replied Doogan “Go as far as you like. If I only had you to deal with—bless your innocent heart—l'd been out of this snarl long ago.” “I'm sure you would.” said Joan warmly. Then, addressing Willoughby, she continued: “Doctor, can't you settle all this without sending Mr. Dobgau and Nellie to prison? Can't you?” “They’ve stolen your trunk, remember,” replied Dr. Willoughby. “You are interested in this. too. you see.” Joan retorted: “1 think you are very cruel and unkind, Dr. Willoughby My trunk is right there in front of me, and 1 only have to get somebody to carry it back to my room.” Mr. Spelain had been listening to all that had been said without appearing to pay any attention. He came for ward now and. addressing Doogan benevolently. observed in his best pulpit voice: “Que moment. Did you say you were to be married today?” “That's right. I’ve got a license right here.” Jack Doogau began to feel in his pockets, while the minister asked him: “Who was going to marry you?" “Her.” replied Doogan. nodding and smiling at Nell, while he still fumbled in his pockets. “1 didn’t mean that.” explained Mr. Spelain, also smiling. “I was pretty certain 1 knew the intended bride. Who is the minister that you intended to perform the ceremony?” “Oh. I see!” cried. Doogan, fumbling harder than ever for his license. “1 didn't get you at first. Where did I put that paper?” Nell stepped up to Jack Doogan and whispered something in his ear, to which he responded with a chuckle and said: “By Mike, I’d forgotten. I plauted the license ofi the doctor so the cops couldn't take it away from me. Doctor. will you feel in your pockets?” “Well, of all the infernal Impudence! ' muttered Willoughby. “What next will that fellow be doing?” He felt in his coat pocket and dragged out an official looking paper, which he handed to Doogan. “Thanks, doc,” said Doogan, taking it. "But there are two licenses here. One of them is your own. Here you are.” Dr. Willoughby smiled rather foolishly. and Joan Carr, who had been observing the proceedings from the other end of the room, turned away for fear Willoughby should see her looking at him. “You haven't told me yet what minister you intend to marry you,” Mr. Spelain reminded Doogan, as the latter read over the words of his license with a softer expression than generally was on his face. “Oh, haven't 1?” said Doogan. looking thoughtfully at Mr. Spelain. “Well, that's so. You see, I hadn't engaged a minister yet. and I had some notion that I might have to get an aiderman to do it. But. as you’re here, perhaps you’d splice us. Would you?” Nell looked modestly at the minister to see how he would receive this extraordinary suggestion, and her heart lightened as he smiled and nodded assent. “Now. Nell, are you ready,” chuckled Doogan, “or do you want to go somewhere and put on your fancy duds for the wedding?” NELL'S only reply to Jack Doo gan's pleasantry was to put her hand in his and then to go to Mrs. Carr and her three daughters in turn and say a few words of heartfelt gratitude to each of them. “I’m not a bad girl. Miss Madge, she said softly when she got to the young lady whose wedding day had been so full of strange excitement. “But things got out of the right way with me when my father died, and I hardly ever knew my mother. Don’t you think that makes a difference?” Madge's reply to this wistful query was to bend over the little lady’s maid behind her sister and kiss her oil the •heels. There were two happy girls in be room then. Mr. Spelain turne'd away to say things into Mrs. Carr's ear trumpet, to which that lady could not reply at | once apjjarentlyj for she _shook her |

head and tapped her teeth with the end of her ear trumpet to help her reflections. Then she talked rapidly and earnestly. “Get*!" observed Jack Doogan to Nell. “I wonder whether he wants me to produce a doctor’s certificate before he’ll marry us. That’s all the game now, you know. Some felipw named Eugene started it. and they've named the thing for him. The old lady is .giving him a deuce of a talk about something, and the dominie don't seem to know where he’s at." “it isn't that." whispered Nell, who had her full share of feminine iutul tion. “But Miss Madge was to be married here today, and her mother thinks it would be bad luck for some si >■* * ' ill w I Madge Gave Her Hand to Her Fiance and Looked at the Minister. other bride to come in ahead of her. You’ve heard that, haven't you. Jack?" “Nary a heard." he replied. “What’s more, 1 don’t think there's a thing in it. You couldn't tell me that it would bring bad luck to anybody for you to marryjne. What the”— “Never mind. Jack. Don't swear on our wedding day.” interrupted Nell gently. “Too late. Neil, i've been cursing all the afternoon like a drunken iceman. But I'll cut it out now to please you. I’m da—l mean. I'm—er— biowed if 1 don't.” “There's only one way out of the difficulty that 1 can see." remarked Mr. Spelain. turning toward Dr. Willoughby and Cluney. “Oh. get a move on. sir. This has to be a hurry up job if we are going to get it done today," cried Doogan. “Yes. The police"— began Dr. Wil loughby. “Oh. they won’t be here. I've told you that. But Nell and I have to make a train. That's all,” interrupted Doogan “Caroline, my dear, look out of the front door and see if there are any indications that the police are coming back," directerl Mrs. Carr. “Very well, mother,” replied Caroline. “But the only indications would be the police coming in. However, i’ll go and look, as you tell me to.” Caroline went out. gave a perfuue tory look up the street and another one down and came back with the report that all was well outside. There was not a policeman to be seen. Even the officer on the beat was keeping away from that part of Seventy-second street. “Then I’ll proceed.” announced Spelain. taking out his ever useful prayer book and turning the leaves to the marriage service. "Show me your license.” Jack Doogan hastily produced the license and handed it to Mr. Spelain. He glanced over it. saw that the stamp and signatures were correct and in due form and handed it back. “That all?" asked Doogan. “Want to look at my tongue or see my vaccination marks?” he added in a low tone that the minister did not catch, but which Nell did and for which she gave her lover an admonitory slap on the arm. “Now. John Doogan and—and"— “Nellie Jones,” suppliwl Nell. “And Nellie Jones,” went on the minister. “do you both promise to lead honorable lives?” “I’d do anything for her,” answered Jack Doogan quickly. “Honest to God 1 would!” “Then join hands.” “Wait a moment.” interrupted James Cluney. Jack Doogau turned swiftly, and the black look on his face might have made Cluney fall back if he had seen it. But he was not looking at Doogan just then. He was beckoning to Madge. “What is it?” asked the minister, rather scandalized over being stopped at such a moment. “Do you know of any reason or just impediment”— “No.no! Not at all! But this is our wedding day. and 1 feel that we’ve iAiited long enough.” “That's all right!” said Doogan “You won't have to wait more than a few minutes. Then we’ll give you the parson if you want him.” “There is no use waiting at all that 1 can see.” Jtejoined James Cluney. “He can marrV us at the same timemake a double ceremony of it. you know. It’s often done. Are you willing, Madge?” Madge did not answer in words, but she gave her hand to her fiance and looked at the minister with a smile of assent. Mr. Spelain rather liked the prospect of marrying two couples at once. It was something that would call for neat and skillful work, and any man I who loves his calling, as Mr. Spelain j did his, is pleased to show how well he can conduct himself professionally under 1 unusual circumstances. He never had had any double weddings! “Stand up by the side of the other 1 couple,” he told Cluney and Madge, as he looked at Mrs. Carr. The two young people who had tried : to get jnarrled alljffie afternoon took |

their places, and Mr. Spelalii addressed Mrs. Carr in the loud voice necessary to g»t to her understanding through thg ear trumpet: “Has the young lady the full con sent of her parents?” . “Yes.” replied Mrs. Carr. “Although 1 never thought a daughter of mine would be married in the company of a—-er”— “That’ll dos mother.” interrupted William Carr, with more decision than was usual with him. “Mr. Doogan is our guest now.” But there was another interruption. As the minister turned to his prayer book to include James Cluney ami Madge Carr in the ritual that was to bind Jack l*oogau and Nellie Jones tonether. Dr. Willoughby begged him not to begin just yet. ( The doctor had been whisjiering earnestly to Joan Carr behind the others, and it appeared now that he had almost persuaded her to something which bad shocked her at first, but which did not seem so dreadful as he kept on talking. “And will you marry me. Joan?" he was saying. “We might as well. I have the license in my pocket"— “Impertineuce!” she interjected, but not in an angry tone. “The names are there, and everything is complete and, regular.” Wil loughby went on. "Let me ask Mr Spelain to include us in the ceremony. Won t you. dear?” “1 couldn't think of such a thing." returned Joan. "What would mothei say ?” At the same time she allowed Dr Willoughby to take her hand and lead her to Mrs. Carr, before whom he bowed his head and asked in a prop erly humble fashion, but in a loud voice, to comply with the exigencies of the ear trumpet: “Mrs. Carr, would you object to my marrying your youngest daughter. Joan? We have been partly engaged, as you have known for some lime, ami now.she has consented-if you will per mit it.” “What's all this?” cried William Carr "Do you mean to say, Willoughby, that”— “William!” boomed Mrs. Carr in an awful voice—for she wanted to make her husband understand that she still was head of the house so far as marriage and similar proceedings were concerned. “I have given my consent." “Mr. Spelain." continued Mrs. Carr solemnly, “Mr. Spelain, will you please marry my daughter Joan to Dr. Wil loughby ?” “Gee! What next?” breathed J?ck Doogan. “There'll only be one of the Carr girls left.” \ “That's so—Miss Caroline." whisper ed Nell. The little minister was rather taken aback by the unexpected rush of business.. But he was game—as Jack Doogan remarked afterward to Nell-and as soon as he had from the shock of finding three couples on his hands he directed Dr. Willoughby and Joan to stand up on the right side of Doogan and Nell, while James Cluney and Madge Carr were on their left. “AU kneel.” said the minister solemnly. Jack Doogan hesitated, as if he hardly knew how to do it. and Mrs. Carr, intensely interested, repeated the instruction for his benefit: “He said kneel.” "This seems too good to be true,” muttered Jack Doogan as he knelt reverently by the side of the girl who had done so much for him. and for whom, on his side, he had dared something and would dare more by giving up his old lawless life for ever. « ♦ * * * ♦ * There is a young man working for one of the biggest safe manufacturers in Chicago—a young man with flashing brown eyes, a ruddy complexion and powerful hands—who is an expert in the manipulation of combination locks. He has a genius for that kind of thing, people say. When, as happens at intervals, a business house cannot get its safe open on account of some irregularity in the mechanism this young man is always sent to adjust the difficulty. He has never failed to get a safe open yet. Then, again, occasionally it is absolutely necessary to get into a safe when the only two or three persons who know the combination are away and cannot be reached. But the young man with the strong hands and delicate fingers goes from the safe manufacturers'. and always the door flies open sooner or later at his command. The young man got his situation with the safe makers on the recommendfttion of William Carr of the well known New York importing firm of Scott. Carr & Co. of New York city A His name is John Doogan. His friends call him Jack.” Mr. and Mrs. Jack x Doogan have a neat little house, with half an acre of ground, in one of those rural comhiuuities that dot the prairie to the west of the great city on Lake Michigan. “And are you happy?” asked Nell, getting up from the table and coming around to his side. “Happy? Say, Nell. I'm as happy as if I’d just licked that ugly police sergeant who wanted to nab us both at the Carr house that day. 1 can't say more than that.” “Oh, that reminds me,’' broke in Nell, with a merry laugh. “I got a letter from Miss Caroline today.” “That so? What does she want?” ; “Nothing. She asked me to write to her when we got settled. And I did i This is in answer to it. She says she hopes we. are happy and that we.are to go and see them whenever we are in New York.” “Nix! Never again for me to New York. What else?” “Oh, she says.” went on Nell, laughing still harder, “that her mother has | lost her ear trumpet again.” “Well, they can't say 1 took It-ori you either. That's one comfort.’ “No. But Miss Caroline says they I are afraid her father has done something with it and can’t remember. I suppose he's getting it again.” “Getting what again?” “That disease with the long naihe. klepto—whatever it is. You know.” “Uh-huh! If they don’t put tin mit- | tens on that old man he’ll land in jail j yet,” predicted Jack Doogan, shaking i his head solemnly. IHE KKS.
