P. H. S. ENTERPRISE ’10 so full of the realization of all her hopes that words did not matter. The next day they went to Emma Sa¬ line’s studio. It was situated on the eighth floor of the great Flatiron Building, in a sunny south room. As they walked down the hall they saw the following sign; E. SALINE PICTURES. They entered the great painter’s wait¬ ing room, where they were met by a serv¬ ing maid who said, “Madame is ill, and sees no one today.” “Take our cards in anyway and I think she will see us,” said Cannon. After a moment the maid returned and ushered them into a darkened room, where, upon a couch lay the artist. A wet kerchief was on her forehead, and a bottle of smelling salts in her hand. Addie was immediately by her side. “Emma, what is the matter, dear?” “O, Addie, I’m so glad to see you. No, I haven’t a headache. I just want some¬ body to tell my troubles to.” At this point Will discreetly withdrew, leaving the two women to themselves. About three-quarters of an hour later they both came out, and Emma was smil¬ ing, but she was so pale and emaciated that Cannon was startled, but seeing his wife put her finger on her lips, said noth¬ ing. Arrangements were made for the pic¬ tures. The sittings were to begin in two weeks; sooner was impossible, and Will and his wife went away. “What in the world is the matter with Emma?” said he. “It’s a sad story,—very sad—. She has fallen in love with Virgil Skinner. You noticed his sign next to hers. Well, he has been there three years now, she has been there five, and she has constantly seen him come an d go, and she’s head over heels in love with him. But he has never made an advance, not even to treat hereto an ice-cream soda. Men are brutes, any¬ way. And her heart is just breaking for him, the worthless creature, and she’s get¬ ting as pale as a ghost, and she won’t go away for she couldn’t live without seeing him, and she’s just so thin, and she paints such beautiful pictures and oh—” here Addie’s voice trailed on into sobs. “Well, dear, it certainly is too bad, but let’s hope it will come out all right.’ “And you know she was always so mod¬ est and shy, would hardly think of a boy, and now she’s fallen in love with someone that won’t even look at her, oh! it makes me vexed to think of it!” A little red spot appeared on either cheek, and Can¬ non, even though he was a minister, see¬ ing them did just what you or I would have done. The subject was dropped for the time, and Cannon absorbed himself in the snappiest school paper of the day, The Meteor, where he saw the following item; COBRAS WIN FROM PYTHONS. Score 32 - 15. The Cobras last evening won the hard¬ est game of the season from the Pythons. Both teams were in fine form, and the Py¬ thons put up an exceptionally fine game, but owing to the marvelous playing of Helen Soldate, the Cobras won the world’s championship for girls’ basket ball This marvelous player threw twelve field goals from the enemies’ territory, scoring every time the ball was in her hands. She is probably the strongest single player in the world. Invitations to the Bailu ball had been received, and the Cannons were going. It and on the next door; V. SKINNER MINING PROMOTER. OIL STOCKS TEMPERANCE LECTURER. 29

P. H. S. E N T E R P R I S E ’10 was seven o’clock; Addie was putting on her jewels. She had slipped on her rings, which lay in a tray on her dressing table, and turned to the little safe which held her other trinkets, when she found the lock forced. Hastily opening the door, she saw that everything was there except a very valuable bracelet. Calling in her hus¬ band, together they searched the room. No bracelet was there. All search was fruitless, and the police were notified. As Cannon went down town to his study the next morning he decided to take a round about way, for a little morning walk. In one of the streets he noticed this sign, M. PARTRIDGE Trouble Bureau. “Trouble Bureau,” he muttered, “I guess that is what I need,” so he entered, thinking of the bracelet. Here he found that M. Partridge was Marion Partridg3, whom he had known as a schoolmate in youthful days. He was not much surpris¬ ed to find her engaged in a sort of philanthropical work, he had expected that. The surprise was to find her in New York; he had thought that she would be in the Antipodes as a missionary to the savages. But here she was, and he was very glad to see her They had a little visit, and finally Mar¬ ion asked Cannon his business. He told her of the bracelet. She went to a draw¬ er and took out a diagram. “You see I have my business systematic¬ ally arranged.” Then she said, “Criminal, a-b-h-l-r, r, robbery; Myers. I would advise you to go to Myers, 1111 5th Ave. She is our old Lorene, become a lawyer. She can probably help you.” So Cannon went .out and through the street till he came to the given address, and found Lorene. They were glad to see each other and visited awhile. After they got down to business, Lorene advised that her private detective who, she said, pos¬ sessed extraordinary abilities, be put upon the case. So he was called in, Mr. W. Barth, a man with whom the reader is doubtless so well acquainted that he needs no further introduction. Cannon took Barth home with him, and after he had carefully investigated the case he said, “I have found four clues, all pointing to one person, who is known to the police. He has a reputation of being a most crafty and desperate character, and it is probable that he cannot be captured, but I will do my best.” On Aug. 15 Barth was carried into the Emergency Ward of Bellvue Hospital. He had captured his man, but in doing so he had received a terrible blow on his head from a blackjack. Trepaning was neces¬ sary, and for many weeks he lay hovering between life and death. The best nurse which the hospital afforded was given him. And when he finally opened his eyes to know sanely of anything the nurse collaps¬ ed. For she had permitted no one to nurse him but herself. She had known him when he was a boy, and they had play¬ ed together, calling each other Shirley and Will. Shirley was put to bed, and stayed there for several days. Complete rest was all she needed. There was a great deal of talk about a tall, slim fellow whom Shirley called LeRoy, that came to visit her and brought her flowers and fruit and boxes of bon bons. He used to come at 1:30 and stay till dark, and it was said that the great church organ at St. Margaret’s suffered for lack of attention and he nearly lost his position because of the poor music he fur¬ nished of a Sunday. Some, however, said that it was as much on account of his indo¬ lent disposition and that tired feeling he so frequently complained of as anything else. At all events, when Shirley was able to be around again, she was seen wearing a solitaire, and the first day she was per¬ mitted to go down stairs she tendered her resignation to the hospital authorities. 30
