Both women were arrested In Council Bluffs on the afternoon of I October 1 following an alleged at tempt to steal two sealskin coats from the John Beno department tore They were booked at the po lice station under fictitious names, but their identity was discovered by The Bee. At the time of their arrest, Mrs. King was released on a $1,000 bond famished by Ben Gallagher, after she had spent Wednesday night In Sail Mr. Gallagher declared he had been moved to go to the assistance of Mrs. King, by the fact that her husband was an employe of his company, who had an excellent rec-! jwd. Mrs. Winchell was not released, after her arrest, ""until the following Friday afternoon, when someone, whom the Council Bluffs police de clared they did not know, produced a $1,000 cash bond. The money was said to have been telegraphed by friends in Chicago. . Gallagher Putt Up Bond. Desperate efforts were made at that time to withhold the identity of the women, who were allowed to use the telephone after being taken into custody. Mr. Gallagher wat located in Omaha and imme diately ' went to Council Bluffs, where he offered $1,000 cash indem nity as an inducement to Ed Wick ham, prominent banker and contrac tor, to sign the surety bond. Mr. Wickham signed the bond without requiring the indemnity. Mrs. Winchell was said to have keen identified after her arrest by a representative of the Brandeis stores, as a woman alleged to have had trouble before, but investiga tion failed to disclose any previous arrest The women, who are pretty and were wearing handsome street clothes at the time of their arrest, were first detected by Peter, Mad sen. ffrianaerr nf th RtiA itnr wIia declared that when they discovered he t was following them, they dropped the two coats, ran be tween two houses, and crouched in th.e corner of an outhouse, about four blocks from the store, where they were apprehended. Carried Coatt on Armt. ; "My attention was attracted to the women in the store," declared Mr. Madsen, following the arrest, "by the fact that they were carrying heavy coats on their arms, although it was an extremely warm day. I looked more closely and discovered that the coats were brand new. "I was sure the coats were taken from our store and followed the 'women into the street. They ap peared excited as soon as they reached the sidewalk- and argued over the direction they should take. 50 I followed them until their ulti mate arrest. Mr. Madsen said he was deter mined to prosecute the cases against the women, stating at the time of therr arrest that he felt some sym nathv for Mrs. Kirnr. because he was 'convinced she vtes in bad company, but as far as he could learn Mrs. Winchell deserved to suffer the pen alty. V - Emmet Tinley, Paxton & Gal lagher's attorney in Council Bluffs, was retained to represent Mrs. King, while Robert Organ, United States commissioner In Council Bluffs, was secured as Mrs. Winchell's attorney.

Brought to Madge. I settled myself to read with much more buoyant spirits than I had possessed a few minutes ' earlier. The little encounter with my mother-in-law, instead of depressing me, the usual results vpf contests with her had given a distinct hum orous fillip to my .nerves, and I looked forward with pleasurable anticipation to the driving lesson which Dicky had promised me upon his return from his enforced outing with his mother. A ring at the door bell, however, a few minutes after my husband, small son and mother-in-law had de parted, put to flight my anticipation of a restful, lazy hour. For it was followed almost immediately by Katie's announcement at my door that "Dot redheaded teacher, she is in the living room, vants to see you." "Please try to remember Miss Holcombe's name, Katie," I said a bit crossly, sub-consciously venting my annoyance at the interruption upon my little maid, to whose con stitutional inability to remember names I ought to be used to it by now. , Managing Katie. "I no ean twist tongue round dot jawbreaker," Katie answered with superb indifference, grounded, I half suspected, in the dislike she has for Alice Holcombe, an aversion which as far as 1 can see, Is caused only by the fact that I am always nuusually depressde after my friend's visit, and Katie's warm heart resents anything that which troubles me. Genuinely fond as I am of Alice Holcomeb, yet at her ' calls, infre quent enough, I feel a tightening of the nerves all over my body, exactly as if some one with a powerful wrench wrere slowly Winding them up. I know, of coursel that this feel ing is unjust to the girl, who, though almost vrazed by the awful fate con fronting the man she loves and the fact that she is condemned to inac tion in his behalf, is yet going quietly, bravely on her way, and only ocmes to me when some emer gency confronts her about which she thinks I ought to know. Indeed, I think it is the very fact which makes me dread the an nouncement of her, name, something that Katie has shrewdly discovered. If she came oftner and on casual errands, I should not stiffen into tense apprehensive attention at her arrival, sure that it heralded some-, thing alarming. I tried to disguise my qualms with a semhjance of annoyance at Katie. "Do not keep Miss Holcombe waiting,", I said a bit sharply. "Please ask her to run up here at once. I am so glad she has come.'.' Katie muttered something under her breath as she went out the door, which I pretended not to hear, . a short, succinct doubt of my last statement couched in two words, one of them profane. But from my vantage point from the doorof my, room, I heard her deliver my mes sage with respectiful courtsey and was, therefore, glad to ignore her sololoquy. yanso -.Mslalathey Dangerous Repression. welcomed Alice with outstretched hands at the top of the stairs and tried to disguise my dismay at the sight of her thinness and pallor. The weeks since I had last seen her had plainly left her mark upon her. "How glad I am to see you I" I exclaimed. "You have negelected rae shamefluuy. Of course you ave come for a long after noon, so let me take your hat and I'll ring for something sool to drink. Kaite makes most delicious iced things. I had relegated my driving lesson to the limbo of things inevitably postponed, for Iknew that woman confronting me had vital need of my sympathy. But she put up her hand in protest. "I can't stay," she said decidedly. "Not for more than a half-hour. I must get the next train back. But I will execept your offer of something iced. I am fearfully warm and tired." , 1 I rang for Katie, gave her a brief direction, saw her start happily away Katie is never to hpppy as when she is preparing something dainty to eat or drinkthen turned to my friend. "What is it, dear?" I asked. "If you have come for only this short time, It must be because of some urgent" "It is," she said, leaning back In her chair and closing her eyes for a moment as if marshalling he words in order to put what she had come to tell me into the shortest scope possible. I was shocked to see how verv ill she looked. The blue veins on her eyelids stood out alarmingly, and her anner was manner was so nmrt that I Guessed that she was putting a repression upon herself which was dangerous to ner nervous svstem. "When she finally opened her eyes the w ildanxiety in them ttartled me. '.Til tell you in the shortest way possible," she said.
