"It's too crowded!" protested
Helen. "Lets wit for the next.
"Come on, it's after 1 1 now." War
ren wedged hia way into the over
crowded car, making a passage for
her to lollow.
"Oh, it'i suffocating," shrinking
from the subway crush.
"Quickest way to get home," h;
booked a distant strap with his cane
''We shouldn't have played that last
rubber. Kennedy never knows when
to stop.
"They played better than usual to
night," holding close to his arm.
V "No wonder. They held every
thing. I had rotten cards all eve
ning." . .
At the next station, as more pas
sengers forced their way in, Helen
was crushed against a stout red
faced man, his breath strongly alco
holic. With every lurch of the car
she felt the pressure of his repugnant
coipulence.
"Oh. dear, this is awful!" trying
to protect her hat.
"Yes, it's pretty thick in here," ad
mitted Warren, drawing her close.
With closed eyes, she leaned
against him, almost faint from the
airless, sickening congestion.
Two stations further on, she was
roughly aroused by Warren's curt
"We get out here!"
It was not their station, but cut
ting short her amazed protest, hi
elbowed his way out and she" was
forced to follow. .
On the plntform he paused to
w hisper a tense. -
"That man's got my watch! Fol
low me keep your trap shut!"
The next moment he was bound
inz ud the stCDS after a tall man
whom Helen recognized as having
been jammed against him. She re
membered the sleeve of that light
gray coat as he held to the strap.
At the top of the steps, he turned
down the side street,- Warren several
yards' behind.
It was a dim, deserted neighbor
hood of closed shops. There was
no one In sight no one to call to
for help.
Her heart in her throat, Helen
followed, their footsteps awesomely
distinct in the silent street. How
reckless of Warren to accost this
thief alonel Why had he not de
clared his loss in the car?
Suddenly the man glanced over
his shoulder then quickened his
pace. He had sensed he was being
followed. He might be armed!
What if he should turn and fire?
' Now thoroughly terrified, she was
running to keep up, her high-heeled
satin slippers impeding her progress.
It was in the loneliest, darkest part
of the block that Warren caught up
with the fugitive and gripped his
arm.
"Hand over that watch!"
The man spluttered, struggling to
jerk away.
"Not a word now!" savagely.
"Hand over that watch or there'll
be trouble!"
Helen's heart stood still as she
saw the man's ' hand slip into his
pocket. Would he draw out a re
volveror a black-jack?
The next second she caught the
glint of gold as he relinquished the
watch. Jerking away from War
ren's relaxed grip, he dashed down
the street and around the first cor
ner without a backward glance.
Ohoh, I was so frightened!'
breathlessly Helen joined him. "Why
didn't you get a policeman?"
"Got my watch, thrusting it into
his pocket. "That's what I was
after!"
. "But you might have been killed!
He might have had "
"Huh. these pickpockets are too
cowardly to put up a fight. - You
saw how he wilted when I nabbed
him? He knew I meant business
that I- wouldn't stand for any
monkey work."
"You were wonderful! That was
the -. bravest thing for you to con
front a criminal like that alone!"
"Yes, I pulled that off all right."
with a chuckle. "That was a neat
.job." .-. :
"How could you be sure he had
it? Did you see him take it?"
"I was on to him three stations
back. He kept pushing against me
a darned sight more than was nec
essary. , He was after my wallet,
but he couldn't get at that so he
lifted the watch instead."
"When did you miss it"
"At the last station when that
mob crowded oh. I was tryirig to
protect you from that fat slob and
this shark jammed against me on 1
te other side. I could-feel his arm I
move. Then I felt for my watch i
it was gone. I knew he'd get. off
at the next 'Stop, so I was ready ,
I to trail him."

Most men would have made an
outcry - right there but you fol

pressing his arm in thrilled admira-
i tion.
"If I'd set ud a howl in the car.
,he'd have passed it on to some con
federate.
e.' These dips always work
s. I thought I'd nail him on
in pairs.
my own. ' "
... All the way back to the subway,
Helen effused over his daring brav
ery. His Egotism always susceptible
to any tribute to his masculine prow-
ess, he grew more inflated under
this fulsome praise.
Half an hour later they . were
home. In the elevator they met

Mr. Holden who had the apartment
over theirs. Fairly bubbling over
with pride, Helen had to relate
Warren's courageous feat.
"Well, that wag great but it was
pretty risky," declared Mr. Holden.
"I wouldn't want to tackle one of
those fellows alone."
"Huh, no fight in him," shrugged
Warren. "He came across without
a whimper. You should have seen
him run like a scared rabbit!
"Fm glad you threw a scare into
him," approved Mr. Holden as they
left the car. If everybody had
your nerve there wouldn't be so
many holdups.
"Jove, it's after 12," when Warren
switched on the lights in the library,
"Hustle now, let's get to bed. Here,
no time for that!
"Oh, you're so wonderful!" draw
ing down his head for an adoring
caress. You heard what Mr.
Holden said that it was awfully
risky. But you never even thought
of the danger!"
"I was thinking of my ticker,"
grinned Warren. "Wasn't going to
let him make off with that. He got
the surprise of his life when I
nabbed him."
"Dear, he didn't look like a sneak
thicf," slipping off her evening
wrap.
"You can't go by looks. Had a
big diamond scarf-pin he'd swiped
from somebody. I hen With a
yawn, urn you put on anotner
blanket? I almost froze last night."
No: dear, I forgot it I'll do it
right away."
faking an extra blanket from
the hall closet, Helen started to re
make the bed. She was' still reliv
ing the exciting chase as she tucked
in .the covers.
Warren had been too fearless. He
should not have confronted a des
perate criminal single-handed. Bet
ter to have lost the watch, even
though it was the one his Uncle
Henry had given him, than to have
taken such a risk.
"What have you got?" as Pussy
Purr-Mew, who had been romping
about with some elusive plaything,
now rolled it from under the bed and
darted after it. "Oh, a collar but
ton," rescuing it fromjhe mischiev
ous paws. -"
Placing it in the leather box on
Warren's chiffonier she stopped
pertificd. -
A dazed moment. She was staring
at his watch! There it lay beside his
brushes! In changing to his evening
clothes, he had forgotten it.
And the other watch I What did it
mean?
"Warren Warren!"
"Eh, what's wrong?" he appeared
at the door, startled by the tense note
in her voice.
Words failing her, she pointed to
his watch on the chiffonier.
"Holy smoke!"
An excruciating silence as he
jerked from his pocket the alien
watch. It was the same size but
heavily engraved. ,
"What have you done?" stam
meretl Helen.
"I held up that man for his own
watch!"
"He he didn't take yours at all?"
stupidly.
"Evidently not," sarcastically,
"since it's there on the dresser."
"Warren!" grasping the enormity
nf his hlunderine offense.
Holding it close to the bedside
light, he examined the watch for
some identification.
"Not a mark," opening the inner
case. "That puts me in a hell of a
fix." , ,
"Oh, you must find, out who he
is!" excitedly. "You must return
it!" -
"How can I? The blamed thing's
not even initialed. How the devil am
I going to find out who it belongs
to? An expensive watch, too."
"And he he thought you were
holding him up!" gasped Helen.
"Has that just, dawned on you?
What else could he think?" Then
grimly, "And he thought about
right." - ... '
"Oh, Warren, that's the most
dreadful thing! What can you do?"
"Advertise that's all I can think
of. If he turns up,' I'll have a peach
of a time explaining."'
"You should have been sure! You
shouldn't have rushed off after him
unless you knew he had it. War
ren, it's the most awful thing I ever
heard of!"
"Huh, you've changed your tune.
Just now you thought it was heroic
you couldn't gush over ; me
enough."
"But I didn't know"

Checking Up Congress.
They speak with fervor of the
good or bad works of the air mail
department; they wonder if some
things they look upon as short
comings in the air service are the
result of indifference on the part
of department heads, or whether
additional appropriations by con
gress will aid them.
If better planes, better motors,
a ship for each pilot anything
that will make a dangerous job
more safe depends on congress,
then these wives emphatically de
mand that congress get busy and
do everything possible.
They're against night flying,
until planes, fields and everything
are equipped for it.
: "Night flying can be done, and '
done successfully," said Mrs.
Knight. "Jack demonstrated that
when he made the night flight
from North Platte to Chicago.
If they have the kind of lighting
system the pilots want, if motors
can be kept in prime condition,
but I don't like the thought of it

Yes, there are a few bachelors

youth, who recently returned from
Europe.
Clarence- went to Europe to join
the air forces of General Wrangel's
anti-bolshcvik army last Septem
ber, resigning from the air mail
service to make the trip.
He did not arrive at his desti
nation before Wrangel's forces
were routed, but undaunted, he
joined Capt. C. C. Clark of Okla
homa, former Wrangel flier, in
organizing an all-American fight
ing squadron for service irt the
Roumanian army in case of bol
shevik invasion this spring.
He is even now subject to call

part of Lenin's hordes.

Romance ? Ah-h-h !
But though there are still bach

of the air is doing its work well.
According to rumors there may
be additions to the colony of air
men's, wives in Cheyenne, and
' possibly in Omaha and Chicago
as well. .
