One night last week Privates 8an

of Maud Scales. They discovered]
tl new garments of rather ex
auspicious. But Maud had not been
given enough rope. While- Constable
Van Martin and the police rented on
their guns Maud went about the-job
of wcaUng a net about herself, BO lt
ls said.
In nome way 'tBo officers' 'learried
thst Maud had made -ather extensive
purchases st s local department store.
They made an investigation but found
that the goods had been returned.
About this time tliev received a "tip"
thst a colored woman had made con
siderable purchsses from a ladled
store of the city. They investigated
this, but at first found no evidence.
'Tis true extensive- purchases bad
been mad o at this store by a negro
woman, but she did not give her name
a's Maud Scales. 'She had" purchased
gooda smountlng to 135, and had left
them ht tbe store, to be delivered lat
er. The police went a little further
with tiio investigation and learned
? hat the purchases in question hod
be?n made by Maud Scales, but under
in assumed hume, or as she would
orobably sav, s non de plume. It wai
m Interesting fact to note, that thc
-woman had requested that the pur
chsses be held there and not sent tc

The colics are of ?he opinion thal
Maud Scales ordered the'goods no'
