TURN' TO THK RIGHT CHAPTER X Yesterday’s flnpfcoi- ended rather suddenly when seme <l:rty bun) sneak ed into the PennsyItueky Hotel in New York and swiped our Pearl’s clothes while she was taking a hath in the hath tub. This left lVarl Weed alone in the great city, penniless, fcushandless, friendless, and without a thing to j wear. ! Really, Pearl wasn’t even in rags. The dirty crook took every stitch of clothing while she was chasing the soap about the tub. * f« * j Knock! Knock! Knock! Someone had tapped at the door three times. If you don’t believe it,, count them. Pearl was pu-'cle 1. How could she go to the door as she was ? She1 couldn't, just couldn’t. Knock! Knock! Knock! What, oh what, could the poor girl do. The carpet tickled her bare feet as she advanced cautiously. She peered through the keyhole. There, on the other side of the door, eho saw Jimp. Jimp! Oh, joy! Oh, joy! It was Jimp, her husband. Evidently he had escaped'•fflRn the aquarium where he was held as a fish. "Jimp,” whisperde Pearl threfugh the keyhole. "Jimp,” shouted Jimp, "Open the door. I brought vmi somethjng.” “Is it clothes'*" questloTfeS 'Penrl, a faint hop.' sending her dear ljttle heart pounding against her clear little ribs. "Yes,” said Jimp, tossing a bur ette over JJjftJr <nsome. "It’s clothes. Seh for yourseff." Pearl tore frantically at the wrap pings of the bundle. Its contents tumbled to the floor—n beautiful seal skin coat. 4 Slipping into it, Pearl opened the door and fell around her darling hus bitud’s rough neck. “How do you like it?” asked Jimp, gigfling _sheepishly. "They thought I was a (ish. so they put me in with the seals. "It’s ui exquisite,” beamed Pearl. "Yes, yes, continue the narration.’’ “They put in'- in with the seals. So I just skinned the seals and brought you that cent. Where are your cl .thes?” Pearl wilted into a chair. “Some on ;t my clothes while I was bathing in the hath tub.’’ “Well buy some more,” smiled the fond husband. "I spent our last $900,COO*” sobbed he wife. It was indeed a mess. What “to do l ow? Now what to do? Doth were broke. "Let’s take a walk and formulate our plans,’’ suggested the bright young husband who was not beaten so ersily. . A drizzling raiti fell as Mr. and Mis. Jimpeon Weed strolled down HrotidWay in earnest conversation. Strangers gasped at the barefoot lady in the swell sealskin coat. To quell their astonishment, Jimp remov- | cd his shoes and gave them to his i wife. It was the gentleman in his which made him do so. Any gent will let ■ his wife have his shoes when she loses hers, even if his socks do look ' rrior ■ like spa's. And Jimp's socks! were »o full of holes in the feet they I ditl remind one of spats. Presently, our Jimp began to cough. Th • s'dewalk didn’t hurt his foot much b it he was catching cold. He s nrezo(l constantly. Yes,' he was catching cold. He knew that. His nos« told him so. He was walking, hut his nose wasn’t And it was a good nose, as noses i urn Autos 'p:d past in the rain, their tire ; making a sucking sound on-the wet pavement. Drivers peeped out from bc'ind their busy automatic w r d hield wipers. Suldf n’y, wthout warning, Jimp> seized both of Pearl’s hands in his. "1 have it ” He was danenig about the sidewalk in his sock feet, and in great glee. ‘ You have what?” questioned his wife in her sealskin coat and his shots. “It it a cold you have?” “Yes,” shouted Jimp. “It's a cold and another wonderful idea.” “Yt s, yes,” whispered his trcmbl ng bride. 1 .“See the autos with their wind, shield' wipers?” “Yes, ye*,” whispered the bride again. "Why not fix a windshield wiper to your forehead. Tie a rag on the wiper. And there you are!" “What good is that?” asked Pearl, who was slow at times. ‘What good is that?” shouted her ket n-witted husband. “It’s worth a million dollars to us. Imagine the i great convenience of an automatic [handkerchief! No more stopping to wipe your nose. Turn the automatic [handkerchief on. Pet it run when your nose does.” Well, to make a long story short. I the idea worked. Jimp sold it to a | man for a million dollars.

Having never visited China, Persia Eskimona, or Chutney, they krew non - of these sayings. Pearl l’ftcd her delicate hand lan- | gUidly and rang a golden hell. Twelve ma’d:- answered its mellow note. / “1 believe I’ll change my complex ion,” said Pearl. Eleven of the maids picked up the lovely bride and ear- j ried her into the complexion room. One maid alone remained with Jimp. And she could not be seen. Because she had hidden under the i table. Jimp rang. Twelve butlers appear- j cd as if bv magic. “Did you wish j some butting done?” asked they i simultaneously. “Yes,” said Jimp. “Call the foot men.” Eleven of the twelve butlers j turned on twenty-two of the twenty- j four heels and departed. One butler remained. But ho was unseen. Because he sneaked into the sideboard. Twelve footmen appeared. “Did yoy wish some footing done?" asked a pompous individual, evidently their leode ■. “Yes,” answered .Imp. “I wish some j footing done. Carry me out for a | walk.” Eleven of the twelve footmen nick-! cd un Jimp and carried him out for a walk. But one footer remained. The maid crawled out from under the table. With a harsh laugh, she 1 threw off her disguise. She was Mrs. j Gumshoe, the woman detective. The butler stepped forth from the sqb'l o srd and stood revealed ns De tect ve Cumshoe, and none other. Tie footman, as, perchance, the ;vender has guessed ere this, was Mr. Handle, Pearl’s father, the filthy : crook. “When ho comes back from being token for his walk,” said Mr. Handle and there was malice aforethought in __ h s voice, “I’ll shoot him dead." “No," whisper* (1 Mrs. Gum, the wo man detective, ‘‘there’ll be no murder dofie hero today.

Then you will pet your daughter lack." ‘‘I'm in favor of shooting," said Gum, who was’ jealous of his wife's charms. “Hist!" warned all three.
