"Why do you ask ?" "Why, the other night," replied the friend, "I happened to be meeting my wife up at the Grand Central about six o'clock and I saw two yeggs that I knew taking a train out.

Pittsburgh Ike and Denver Red." "When was it ?" "Two weeks ago," said the friend.
"Thanks," returned the boss.

"You must excuse me now; I've got an important engagement." Three hours later Pittsburgh Ike and Denver Red were in a cell at headquarters.

At six o'clock that evening the necklace had been returned.
