acute that I asked, the fellowAo.
drop by my office for a chat on
the subject, and wh le he was there
a most singular thing occurred.”
We sat on the edge of our
chairs while the ini pector took his
own sweet timex re-lighting his
(pipe and resuming his seat. Ten
seness hung, in th<| air like new-
swept dust gsi we i waited the de
nouement of ;this thrilling episode.
At length the inspector spoke:
■'“I had just asked him to give
me an explanation of the strange
coincidence of his presence at every
purloining of a billfold on the cam
pus, when my friends of the State

the spspCct in my office let his

He confessed on the spot and led
us to (the various spots on the cam-

billfolds once he had emptied them
of their negotiable contents!. There
were seven in all, I believe.
“I did not hold him in custody,,
but asked him to return Ihe next
day to submit to further ques
tioning.
“He returned the next day as I
had requested and we began the
inquiry. Oh, it was a simple matter
to' amass all the evidence we need
ed to expel him from school. How
ler, we mentioned turning him
over, to the civil authorities, and
that was our mistake.
“He asked to b« allowed to run
out for a Sandwich after which he
would retunr. We let him go; He
hasn’t been seen since ”
The inspector fumbled a feW

pushed a hypodermic needle into
the soft underside of his arm. Thtit
done, he smiled ad us coyly. Wp
stared back at him, our eyes thri
