The thought that tils son was guilty of a crime which lulLt put hltu be hind prison bars did uot yet occur to his mind. He was only conscious of a great longing to net hack borne and there have a thorough talk with bis boy In the hope of w liming bltn to bet ter things. But lie must say something to George. The police officer stared In wonder after the first startled cry of "Father!" on the pnrt of the young man. but be did not looseu bis hold on him. Ue took uu extra twist In the coat collar of his captive and looked sharply' at Mr. Hardy ns much as to say. "He may be your xon. but he's my victim, and 1 mean to keep a good clutch on him." Goorire was the first to speak: "Father, you know 1 wouldn't do snch a thing really. We were only out for a little fun. We didn't know you. of course. We didn't mean any real harm. We were only fooling." "It wna dangerous fooling." replied his father. He still stood apart from the boy and spoke quietly, but his face was pale. and his heart was wrung with torture 49c At 49c we are selling an excellent Corset made of net and French sateen, long and short waist the kind the other stores sell at 75 cents.

It la not In medical power tu decide with certainty." Ho Mr. Hardy went out Into the night With a glimmer of hope tu his breast. It was suowlng again, and a strong Wind was blowing, ho lie buttoned his big coat close up. drew his hat down orer his brows and, leaning forward, walked as rapidly as he could against the wind In the direction of the doe tor's house. Tbe streets were almost deserted. Tbe lights at the corners flickered and showed pale through the lamps. As he turned down a narrow street, lutendlttg to make a short cut across a park that lay near the doctor's, he was suddenly seised by three or four young tucn, and one of them said In a tone which betrayed a drunken debauch: "Hold up your hands aud deliver! You've got plenty of chink, and we haven't! So no squalling, or we'll shoot you for It!" Mr Ilardy was taken completely by surprise, But bo was n vigorous, ath letic man, and hU first impulse was to sb'vke himself loose, to knock down two f his ii mil I lu nt next to him nnd ntake a run for It. Ills next glance, however, showed lilm the nature of tbe group of young men. They were not professional robbers, but young men about towu who had Ihvii drink lug Into and were evidently out on a lark and were holding blm up Just for fun. Mr. Ilnrdy guessed exactly rlghj, What could he do? Two of the young men wore known to him. the sons of the r.niiiileys, who were well to do people lu l'.artou. Mr. Hardy's next InipuUe was to discover himself to them and beg theu to quit such dan gerous fooling and go borne. The three other young men were In shadow, and he could uot tell them. All this pass ed through his thought with a Hash. Dut before he bad time to do auythttig a police olUeor sprang out of a door way near by, and the group of young tuen, dropping their bold of Mr. Hardy, fled In different directions.
