UHAPItK AAIV,
I Recover the Pajamas.
Outside, swinging his club and kicking
his heel in the macadam, I found
a fat policeman?from New York, J
knew by his helmet.
* He turned and I saw?O'Keefe!
"Oh, there you are, sir!" And witfc i
a careless duck and a wave, he ambled
forward and placed in my hands a
parceL
"It's them, all right!" ne saia, witc j
a fat wink. "The black silk pajamas?
we got 'em, you see!"
"Jove!" I ejaculated, staring. Ther
suddenly I got the jolly idea full and
strong, you know, and I was just sc
dashed relieved and delighted, I shook 1
L.. 'hands with him?fact!
"Oh, I say, Jenkins," I remarked, j
twisting my glass at him, "by Jove..;
vyou know?eh?"
^ "Certainly, sir!" Jenkins admitted
calmly. "I knew in a minute soon as
he told me!"
And, by Jove, I believed him! Had

instance of the devilish clever, intuitive
way Jenkins had of boring into
things!
"Yes;, sir,"?O'Keefe thoughtfully j
transferred a big wad to the other
cheek?"the captain gave me a little
rlay off so's I could bring 'em up,"?
lie studied with interest the top o!
one of the pillars of the porte-cochere !
and shrugged lightly?"cf course it
wasn't just because of the reward,
though of course five hundred bucks
is five hundred bucks, but we thought
you might like to have 'em?thank
you, sir!" For out of my folder 1
peeled five crisp centuries and laid
them in Ills paim.
This done, Jenkins glanced at me
and turned suggestively toward the
.entrance, but O'Keefe didn't make a
J" move to go and no more did I. Fact
was, I had a devilish keen notion that
the old cat upstairs would be watchins
for the policeman's departure

I wouldn't do any harm, but might seaJ
her jolly mouth the tighter.
O'Keefe thanked me again. "You're
i sure solid with the force, sir," he assured,
nodding earnestly. "Just remember
my number and the name of
| Captain Clutchem if any time in town
| you get rounded up in any of our litS
tie?er, you know!"?he dropped a
! cheerful wink at me and glanced again
' at the tills. "Expect maybe you're
anxious to know if Tim gets a divy
! outer this," he proceeded; and I muri
mured some jolly something. Of
i course, I wasn't anxious, you know;
| fact is, I didn't care a dash?didn't
1 even remember who Tim was. "Yes,
I siree, he'll get ten of this!" he fin-!
ished impressively.
Meantime, he had been hunching
[ nimseii up untu now ne succeeaea in
wrenching from somewhere behind, a
! ragged and shiny old wallet, bulging
with worn and greasy papers. Within
this, with a flourish, he laid the bills, j
Then he faced us with an air of <
Increased cheerfulness.
"So much all for the velvet!" h9
remarked with another wink.
Of course it was of no importance
to set him right about the material;:
as for that, I didn't care a jolly hang
! if he thought they were made of linoleum!
But It gave me the idea of
just peeking into a corner of the parcel
to satisfy myself that its contents
were of filmy black silk?and they
were! I went no further; not for all

investigation.
"Why, sir, I don't think you need
be worrying but what they're al:
right," and the big policeman nodded
confidently; "in fact there don't seem
to be no damage at all." He added
meditatively: "Which is some wonder,
considering how we had tc
rough-house Foxy Grandpa before we
softened him down in his cell th* j
other night." Here his cheeks swelled
and he sent a long sheaf of brown
liquid at a grasshopper on the freshly:
whitened door-stones?and got it, too, |

Jenkins' boot. "No, sir!"?emphatically?"I
don't think you'll be hearing
any holler from your lady friend when
she goes to?eh, what?"?he stared
at Jenkins blankly, for Jenkins had
coughed?"Oh, excuse me!"?and his'
big hand lifted apologetically to his
mouth, while his eyes rolled upward?
"What I just meant was that I know
they're all to the good; I went all
over 'em!"
"Oh!" I muttered, turning rather
faint. I dropped the parcel and Jen-'
kins picked it up. By Jove, for a moment,
he came jolly near having to

and prostrated!
"The only thing?the only thing
'tall?" I had to wait through an agon,
izing moment while his tongue
gathered his wad and peremptorily j
expelled it, this time enlivening the
cold, dead monotony of the silver-gray
macadam?"was her?I mean, was the j
pants."
"Ah-h!" I put my hand to my side
and looked at Jenkins appealingly,
but he was looking upward, his eyes
kind of cast over like a bird's; the
lines of his mouth tightened to an
arch?and I knew he was suffering
too! But we must try to stand it a
little longer?just a little!
Through one instant's respite, Mr.
O'Keefe's thick tongue was occupied
in striving to giutenize the entire
wrapper of a much crushed and awfully
yellow cigar. Then he separated a
mouthful from the end and proceeded.
"I did notice with the legs, that
one of 'em was just a bit longer than j
th' other, and down at the station we j
was a wondering if?" the brown head j
of a crackling match drew a long,!
curving what-you-call-it on the smooth,

creamy masonry, and he paused to
pump madly, striving to coax a draft
of smoke?"we wondered if 'twas?
intentional." His eyes sought mine:
inquiringly.
By Jove, I was so frozen with horror,
I couldn't even look away; just
stood there, helpless, you know, and
my jolly monocle hanging limp?
couldn't bare lilted it to have saved
my life! Felt my senses just growing
numb all the while with the
tragedy of the thing, the thought of
this coarse monster's touch defiling
the dainty, gossamer garment that had
shrouded her sacred what-you-call'ems?Oh,
it was awful!
"Urn?ah, I see! It was, then!"?
he was nodding with an air of understanding,
pausing in the struggle with !
the refractory cigar. His. strained and
reddened face shaped sympathetically.
"Just what I thought and told
'em!" he bobbed with satisfaction, "i >
understand! You ain't got no need to
make no explanations to me!" and he
.lfted his fat hand to restrain them, j
"Why. my wife's own grandfather had
a club foot, and to her last day if she j
got outer bed on the wrong side, the
old lady went a header sure?oh, i
know!"
A moment before, I had thought
that so far as the mere master of jolly
misery was concerned, I had sounded
the what-you-call-'ems; but now my
(lashed brain was reeling before this i
new horror! To think that she was? i
but oh, it couldn't be! And yet I recalled
ominously that most of the
time I had known her, I had only
seen her sitting!
"By-y-y the way, sir!" He closed \
one eye at me as he carved from the ]
brown beauty a half inch of its waxy ;
bud, using for the maltreatment a perfectly
brutal knife. "That was a neat j
try-on you made to copper the thief!
yourself?a leetle irregular, you
know," he shook his head at me, "but, \
as the captain said, we ain't maKing \
no point about that with a gent like;

ble line of beauty upon the receptive
stone, and he puffed inhalations of 1
joy. "But I knew you never could !
get him to the station?I could have
told you/*
"Oh!" I remarked, puzzled. Byj
Jove, I had a dashed awful thought
for a moment that I must be losing
my intelligence! I looked at Jenkins j
again, but he had pot yet come back
to the ground.
"Oh, I'm on, sir!" Another one of
those awful winks as his club j
scratcnea ms neimei siuewa^s. xuu
know I saw everything?I was right!
there at the Kahoka, you know!"
"Oh, that!" I said, understanding.'
For I knew then that he was talking
about Foxy Grandpa in my rooms. I
had almost forgotten the jolly old
vagaboiyl, but it occurred to me that
perhaps I ought to show some interest
as they must have recaptured him:
along with the pajamas. "I say!" i!
chirped up, "did you have much!
trouble about it?getting him again,;
you know?"
"Trouble?" O'Keefe's lip doubled j
contemptuously. "It was easy as but- i
ter!" His hand spread, palm down-j
ward, in an expressive gesture. "Why, [
he doubled right back to the Kaho-:
ka!"
"By Jove, you know!" I exclaimed,
startled.
"Surest thing you know! I collared
him right in front and with the
goods!" Mr. O'Keefe expectorated!
eloquently. "My, but he did put up
an awful holler?said the pajamas
were his own and he had just had 'em
made. And bluE?well!"?ne iannea
the air for a moment in the effort to;
find an appropriate gesture?"I'm
used to these swell con men, but that
gun was the limit?pulled out a card
case, mind you, and letters, and wanted
me to go with him to his club?j
his club?" the big fellow doubled over.
in a spasm of mirth tnat all but
choked him. "I told him I'd give him;
the club if he didn't go quietly?for
you see I recognized him in a minute;
you can't lose them freak kind! Besides,
he give himself away: told mei
he'd overlook my conduct on this occasion
and the other, if I would release
him. Well, that was enough! l!
beckoned Jimmy Dwyer across and
we run him down the line to the station.
Oh, we got him there, but it
wasn't easy?for him! And there)
he'll stay a while!"
He had to pause and pump air, he
was so winded.
"But it woulder tickled you,", he re*
sumed, using one of the vestas I extended
and puffing the cigar until it
almost flamed, "if you coulder seen1
the grand-stand play this guy put up j
before the sergeant! But the old man I
just let him blow it all off; Just sat |
there calm behind the desk, chewing;
away and jabbing a pen through the
blotter, while this stiff fumed and
spouted?oh, something scandalous?
bringing in the names of mighty near
all the Important people in New
York; his friends, he said! Oh, yes,1
he mentioned you In particular, sir!",
?and his face expanded in a relish
ing grin.
"Dashed impudence!" I murmured;
feebly.
"Oh, yes," carelessly, "but the sargeI
quieted him?just purty near soothed
him to sleep before he got through,
you know?it's one of his ways!"?his
glance lifted solemnly.
"Fine, you know!" I murmured admiringly.
I reflected approvingly upon
what a dashed good thing it was
to have a man in that position?whatever
it was?who was of such a devilish
mild and gentle temperament:
the quiet word?the soft answer?the
lHn rl 1 tt romnnctranffl fill that. SOrt Of
thing, you know.
"But, if no offense, there's just one
question I'd like to ask you, sir." He
swung his club with a smiling, genial!
air.
"Oh, dash it, no!" I responded ab- j
sently.
My eye had been suddenly attract-1
ed by a feathery gleam of white j
through the trees. It was slowly mov-;
ing up the slope to a pavilion overlooking
the Tappan Zee.
He drew nearer with a confiential
air. "Just a little argument I had
with, the old_woman, you know, about
them pajamas. Would you mind telling
me?as man to man, y'understand
?if they garments is"?his voice;
dropped?'is like her real shape?tig- j
ger, J mean?h'm?" And he tapped
the parcel lightly with his stick.
Jenkins cleared his throat loudly
and shifted The pajamas to his other j
side. As for myself, I just winced as :
under the stroke of a what-you-call-it,
but one end of mjf dashed brain was i
being pulled by the flashing play of
the dappling sunlight there upon?
"By Jove, her figure exactly!" ij
ejaculated, staring.
For it was her?no, dash it, she, I
mean! I had a perfectly clear view of
her now as she paused on a little
point ana iiung there looking out over
the Hud-on. In her hand was a fullblown,
ripened rose, and her lips were
shaping in ravishing little pouts, as j
musingly she blew the petals from
her. But go they would not, but
hugged back in the arms of the light
breeze, circling and fluttering about,
her glorious sunny head like a swarm
of rosy butterflies. It made a pretty
picture!
"And what's more, they're just her
color, too!" I murmured tenderly, for-,
getful of everything but her, unmindful
that I was not alone. For under
my hand I could feel my jolly heart
quivering like a champagne cork,
freshly unfettered and thrilling eagerly
under the impulse of the mad,
dancing, joyous spirit within.
"The one lovely woman in all the i
world!" I breathed aloud, and I felt!
my eyes grow oddly moist.
And for a minute I went off in a,
jolly trance.
"Good-by, sir!"
It was O'Keefe's voice?oddly con?j
strained.
"Eh?" I ejaculated, blinking at him i
as I came back. Then I rememberedj
?but what was it he had been asking?
Something?
"Just, good-by!" he repeated with!
elaborate gentleness. Then, straight-1
"I Trust You've Not Been Getting;
Into Trouble, Mr. Lightnut!"
ening: "No offense, I hope, if we let
it go at that?I mean, I guess you
won't miss it if we don't shake;
hands?"
I glanced at the gloves he was,
drawing on.
"Oh, dash it, no!" I responded ab-i
sently, and my eyes coasted up th ;
slope again?then dropped back dis-j
appointedly, for she had disappeared
within the pavilion.
His helmet tossed as he looked;
back. "I guess we all've got our little^
prejudices," he remarked sentectious-1
ly; "I know I hav^! I'm from th i
south!"
And without another word, Mr j
O'Keefe presented his broad back tc
us, and swinging Ms sticK careiessiy,
sauntered down the drive.
"What the deuce!" I exclaimed,
looking after him. "I say, Jenkins,
what did he mean?"
Jenkins' face expressed nuld raproach
i.nd surprise.
"Can it pcssih!y matter, sir?" he
questioned wenrilv. "Persons of?ci
?that sort, you know, sir?"
"Jove!" I uttered, relieved.
Jenkins' coldly elevated brows dis;
missed the matter from further con ]
sideration. He lifted the parcel with;
a slight gesture of inquiry.
I had already come to a decision
about it: I would send it to Billings!
Perhaps the retrieving of the pajamas
would have a soothing effect upon his
poor mind!
I gave Jenkins instructions. "H'm!
Of course, manage to speak with him
alone," I cautioned, having thought ol:
Judge Billings; "and don't forget the;
message."
"Certainly, sir," said Jenkins attentively.
"I'm just to say: 'Mr. Lightnut's
compliments, sir, and he says
you'll know what to do with these.'"
I nodded. "Exactly, and I'll wail ;
" ? i t ?? A ? J II
here?but, on, nurry, oasn it: ajuu j;
looked longingly at the pavilion and
tried to feel if my part was right.
He did hurry! By Jove, he was
back almost immediately and looking
a bit rattled.
"Yes, sir!"?he coughed as J
screwed my glass inquiringly?"I got
there just as the judge went Into his j
room across the corridor, and Mr.
Billings opened the door the minute J
said I was from you. I gave him the
package and the message and he took
it over in a corner; and then In about
a minute I heard him chuck it somewhere
and say some long word. He
came back to me, looking kinder irr*
tated and with his eyes snapping."

Jenkins sighed. "Oh, well, sir, noth. |
ing as you might say was anything.!
really; he jerks out kinder crossly: j
Tell Mr. Lig' tnut, I say one thing at j
a time, and give Mm this!"'
On the scrap of paper I clutched
out _ of Jenkins' hagfl was a_erazy
I
scrawl or just a half-dozen words:
I'm a biped, not a centipede!
I squinted through the dashed thing
twice, but could make nothing of it?
I even tried it backward!
"Jove!" I muttered perplexedly, "it's
rum, Jenkins!"
Jenkins' mouth tightened and relaxed.
"H'm, what I thought, sir," he
responded soberly. "The demon rum,;
sir!"

"This statement was approved for

When these dates were inserted payment
was still refused, for the reason

to be inconsistent with the final state

matters. But as the statement of May
