detectives. At this time, criminals became cleverer and
they travelled further too. They used trains and cars.
They escaped from the police easily. Burglars broke
into shops and peoples'houses. They stole money and
property. Safe-crackers broke into banks. They used
special tools and opened the banks' strong metal safes.
They stole thousands of dollars.
The police collected a large amount of information
about the criminals. These records described the
colour of the criminals' hair and eyes, their height,
weight and age.
More and more police detectives tried to stop the
criminals. Each state had investigators -
special police-
men who worked for the government. They chased
criminals and they investigated crimes. Private invest-
igators worked for clients. The clients paid private
investigators to find somebody or something.

'Are you going to do another job?' asked Mike.
'Me?' said Jimmy. 'A job? I don't understand you,
Mike. I sell biscuits. I'm a salesman for the New York
Cracker Company!'
Jimmy laughed. Mike laughed too.
One week later, there was a burglary in Richmond,
Indiana. The burglar took $800 from an old safe. Two
weeks after that, somebody stole $ 1500 from a new safe
in Logansport, Indiana. Then $5000 disappeared from
a safe in a bank in Jefferson City, Missouri.
Ben Price investigated these three burglaries.
'Jimmy Valentine is working again!' he said.
Ben Price knew all about Jimmy Valentine. Jimmy
worked alone. And he travelled many miles between
jobs.
Jimmy moved fast. And he enjoyed good clothes,
good food and fine wine.
'l'11 catch him,' the detective said to himself. 'And
next time, he'll stay in prison. Next time, there will be
no government pardon for him.'
One afternoon, Jimmy and his suitcase arrived ar rhe
little town of Elmore. Elmore was in Arkansas. The
town was five miles from the nearest railroad station.
Jimmy walked along Elmore's main street. He was
young. He was handsome. He wore good clothes. Not
many young men in Elmore were as good-looking as
Jimmy Valentine.
A beautiful young lady walked along the street

clerk. 'l want to start a business here. Is there a shoe
store in Elmore?'
'No, there isn't a shoe store here,' the clerk replied.

Spencer. The people here are very friendly.'
'l'11 stay for a few days,' said Jimmy.
'l'11 look around
the town.'
'Do you want someone to carry your suitcase up the
stairs?' asked the clerk.
'No, I'11 carry it myself,' Jimmy replied. 'lt's very
heavy.'
'Mr Ralph Spencer' stayed in Elmore. Soon, he owned
a small shoe store in the town. The store was success-
ful. People liked Mr Spencer and they respected him.

Annabel Adams.

Everybody was interested in the strong-room. The
two little girls, May and Agatha, loved the shiny metal
door. They loved the big, shiny handle. And they
loved the knobs with numbers on them.
Ben Price had seen the banker's family enter the bank
with Jimmy. After a few minutes, the great detective
followed them into the building.

After a few minutes, one of Jimmy's special tools
was cutting into the steel door. After ten minutes, he
had cut out the locks. And one minure after that,
Jimmy pulled the big handle and the door opened.
Little Agatha fell into her mother's arms. The child
was frightened but she was nor hurt.
Jimmy Valentine had cracked the srrong-room door
in less than fifteen minures. It was the fastest job of his
life.
Jimmy put on his coar. He walked through the
banking-room, towards the streer door. He heard a
young woman's voice behind him.
'Ralph! Come backl'
But Jimmy did not turn round.
A big man was standing in front
of the door. It was Ben Price.
'Hello, Benl' said Jimmy.
'You've found me. I won't fight
you this time. Arrest me. Táke

'Six,'Johnsy said. 'They're falling fasrer. Three days
ago, there were almost a hundred. Ah, there goes
another! There are only five now.'
'Five? What are you talking abour, Johnsy?' Sue
asked. 'Please tell me.'
'There are only five leaves on the vine now,' said
Johnsy. 'The last leaf will fall soon and then I'11 die.
Didn't the doctor tell you about the leavesl'
'Don't say that! You're not going to diel' Sue said.
'You're going to get better. The doctor told me that
this morning. I'll bring you some soup and I'll draw my
picture. The magazine will pay me quickly. Then I'11
buy us some nice food.'
Johnsy was still looking at the vine. 'There are only
four leaves now,' she said. 'l don't want any soup. The
last leaf will fall soon.'
'Johnsy, dear,' Sue said. 'Please close your eyes and
go to sleep. I have to finish this drawing by romorrow.
And I don't want you to look at those leaves any
more,t
Johnsy closed her eyes. 'But i want to watch the last
leaf,' she said again. 'it will fall soon. The leaves are
tired. I'm tired too. I want to die.'
'Please try to sleep,' Sue said. 'l'm going to talk to
Behrman for a minute. I must have a model for my
drawing. Behrman will be my model.'
Old Behrman lived downstairs. He was also an
artist, but he had never painted a good picture. He was
sad about this and he was angry about it too.

'One day, I will paint a wonderful picture,' Behrman
often said. 'One da¡ I will paint a masterpiece.'
But he had never painted a masrerpiece. And he
was more than sixty years old.
Sue found the little old man in his dark room. She
told him about
Johnsy and the vine leaves.

Three evenings later, Delia came home with a smile on
her face.
'Joe dear, I'm going to teach a music student!' she
said. 'Her name is Clementina. She's eighteen years
old and she lives on Sevenry-first Street. Her father is
General A.B. Pinkney.'
'Clementina is very sweet,' Delia said.
,But
she's not
very strong. The General wants me to give her three
lessons a week. And he's going to pay me five dollars a
lesson! Yes! Soon I will go back to Mr Rosensrock.'
Delia looked at her husband's face.
Joe was nor
huppy about her news.
'Please, don't be angry, Joe,' she said.
,Let's
have a
nice supper.'
Joe opened a can ofpeas.
'You're going to teach a student,' he said sadly.
,And
I will stop going to Mr Magister, Delia. I will sell news-
papers and I'll earn a few dollars.'
Delia put her arms around her husband's neck.
'Joe dear, don't be foolish,' she said.
,you
mustn't
leave Mr Magister.
'We
can live very well on fifteen
dollars a week.'
Joe put the peas inro a dish.

General A.B. Pinkney.'
'Clementina is very sweet,' Delia said.
,But
she's not

lessons a week. And he's going to pay me five dollars a
lesson! Yes! Soon I will go back to Mr Rosensrock.'
Delia looked at her husband's face.

'Please, don't be angry, Joe,' she said.
,Let's

I will stop going to Mr Magister, Delia. I will sell news-
papers and I'll earn a few dollars.'
Delia put her arms around her husband's neck.
'Joe dear, don't be foolish,' she said.
,you
mustn't
leave Mr Magister.
'We

The detective explained his plan. He asked the
policeman for hls help.
'Mrs Robbins wants to catch her husband with this
woman,' he said. 'Tonight, Mrs Robbins is going to
hide in the store. She is going to listen to their words.
And she wants you to be a witness. But we have a
problem. First, she has to get into the store.'
'l'll help the lady,' said the policeman. 'Let me
think about your problem. Yes! I have the answer!
There's a little room at the back of the store. She must
enter by that door. But the door between that room
and the store is always locked. You'll have to open it
for her.'
At seven o'clock that evening, the detective's client
came to his office for the fourth time. Again, she was
wearing black clothes and there was a veil over her
face. After a few minutes, they went out into the street
together.
Mr Keeling and the lady walked slowly along the
sidewalk. They stopped opposite the jewellery store.
They waited. At about eight o'clock, a young woman
entered the store. After a few minutes, she came out
again with Mr Robbins. She was holding his arm. They
walked away, down the street.
The lady in black began to cry quietly.
'Look at theml' she said. 'My terrible husband and
that bad young womanl'
Mr Keeling took his client to the back yard of the

He was looking through a big book of photographs.
They were photographs of criminals. The policeman

a picture of a good-looking young man with a smooth
face. He read the words underneath the photograph.

Mr Parkenstacker was surprised again.
'Do rich people put ice in their champagnel' he
asked. 'Don't they put ice around the bottle?'
For a moment, the young woman was angry. Then
she laughed.
'lt's a new fashion,l she said. 'This week, we all put
ice in our champagne. The Prince of Tártary did it last
week, at the \Taldorf Hotel. And now we all do it!'
'l'm sorry,' said the young man. 'l know nothing
about princes.'
'And I know too much about them,' said the young
woman. 'Princes, dukes -
they all fall in love with me.
Last week, a German duke wanted to marry me. He
met me at the Waldorf Hotel. He said, "l wanr you to
be my wife." But I do nor love him. I do not love any-
bod¡ Mr Packenstarker.'
'Parkenstackerl'said the young man. He looked into
the young woman's eyes. 'Can you love an ordinary
man?'he asked her.
The young woman looked at him calmly. 'What
work do you do?' she asked.
'l do a very ordinary job,' the young man replied.
'But can you love an ordinary man?'
'lt is possible,' she said. 'But I asked you a question.
What work do you do? Please answer me.'
'l work in a restaurant,' said Mr Parkenstacker.
The woman in grey moved along the seat, away
Érom the young man.
'Are you a waiterl' she asked.

The young woman walked up ro the white car. She
stopped and she looked at it for a few moments. Then
she passed it and she ran across the street. She entered
the restaurant with the bright electric signs.
The young woman went through a door at rhe back
of the restaurant. After a minute, she came back intcr
the room without her hat and veil.
The cashier's desk was at the front of the restaurant.

In the street opposite the restaurant, the young man
walked slowly along the sidewalk. He saw a book lying
on the ground. It was the young woman's book. It had
fallen out of her bag. He picked it up and he looked at
it. It was a book of romances. The stories in the book
were about poor young women. In the stories, these
