SATURDAY, JAN. 7, 1922, SC 100L THE STUDY SPOR1S THE "FANCY" SKATER Earl was "cutting initials" on the fce, while a group of skaters stood around and watched him admiringly He had already earned a reputation as a fancy skater. He liked to do his skating when there was a erowa around to watch him. He skated abonr with his arms folded behind his back and a "see how easy this is" expres- sion on his face. "Now I'm going to do some figure eights," he announced, and proceeded to do them, amid "ohs" and "ahs." "I'll teach you a few,' he offered to Boyd Burton, a boy of his own age who often. came out to the park to skate with him "Thanks." sald Boyd briefly, "but Pd rather just skate. I guess I wasn't cut out for the fancy stuff "Do as you like," replied Earl, as he skated off backwards February was drawing near, and that was the time of the amateur races. Every one who skated in that park was talking about them. Ear: had never raced before, but he as- cided he would try this time. He pro- ceeded to start training by spending all of his spare tyme on the ice, doing new fancy figuros which made those who watched him eatch thelr breath with surprise. Boyd went out with him to hang along. but he would skate off by himself, away from the crowd. At Jast the race day came. Crowas lined the shore of the lagoon. Farl's brightly polished skates gleamed in the sunshine as he took his piace on the starting line. The starter's gun announced that the race had begun. It was not long till the winner crossed the finish line. How he had happened to become winded so soon, Earl could not under- stand. He was a bit dazed when Boyd eame gliding up to him to show him his newly won medal. "You might be & good skater, Earl" said Boyd quietly. "but you waste your time ana strength In faney skating. I'll teach you how to skate if you like. Maybe that sounds rather mean, but--but | Just couldn't help rubbing it in." 5 EENL 43087 faa TODAY'S PUZZLE Behead a word meaning a small kernel, and leave something that falls from the sky.

They saw the bag fall. As the cab pulled away, one of the girls picked the bag up. They whis- perad together. Then, with a smile, one of them entered the hair-dressing estiblishment which they had seen Miss Alen go into. The girl carried the bag with her. The other woman waited on the street and amused her- self hy commanding the spotted dog to do tricks. Companion Returns "When the other: girl returned to the sidewalk .a few. moments later, without the bag which apparently had been returned to Miss Alan, the two walked on with the dog. "It was but a few moments later that Miss Alan rushed excitedly out of the hair-dresser's. She had dis- covered the loss of her bag. It had not been returned to her "This was the beginning of the short-lived mystery of the missing Alan jewels, which were far-famed as be- ing one of the most precious collec- tions on the stage. "The, first clew obtained by detac- tives was given by a man who had seen the two girls pick up the bag.

A "Phone Call "In response to the announcement of a $1,000 reward for the return, or information leading to the return of the jewels, our office received a 'phone call about § o'clock Saturday night-- the loss occurred on Friday afternoon from a man whe said a young fel- low had approached him that after- noon and attempted to sell to him for four hundred dollars a necklace that answered the description of the one Miss Alan had had in her handbag. He knew the young man and offered to lead detectives to his rooming house. "We found the young fellow's room deserted "At about three o'clock the follows ing morning--Sunday morning--two of our men saw the young man stage gering along under the influence of liquor. They stopped and searched him. One small pearl, known to Le a part of Miss Alan's collection, was found in his vest pocket. "At the police siation he claimed that Saturday morning a lady friend had given him some jewels to dispose of. This girl. hé said, in company with a Mrs. Olson, who, he said, was part owner of a vaudévilie animal act, had found the jewels, and had 'split.' * Detectives to Olson's "We soon learned where this Mrs. Olson lived.

"When we routed out the sleepy expressman he told us the Olson trunks had been shipped Saturday njght to Cincinnati. The train would reach Cincinnati that Sunday morning. "Cincinnati police were notified. When the Olsons with the spotted dog, stepped from the train, they were placed under arrest. "A count of the jewels found in the possession of Mrs. Olson, and those recovered from Chicago pawn shops showed that but seven small dia- monds were missing. "And that," concluded Mr. O'Day, "is how the bulk of the famous Alan jewels were recovered with the ald of the dog with yellow spots.' 4 2 ' BRITISH WHIG. ALBERT L.
