DAVE PORTER AT OAK HALL
Dave Porter, and just think, he is bound for Oak Hall like myself!"
"Glad to know you, Porter," said the senator, and shook hands. He was a big man, with a florid, pleasant face. "I only wish you had hung on to that thief."
"I wish that myself," answered Dave, with a smile. "But when he started he went like a flash."
"No doubt. Well, he had to leave the silver and gold-plated ware behind, anyway."
"What else did he take?"
"Two diamond rings, and a diamond brooch, besides a masonic charm which I prized very highly. The jewelry was worth probably eight hundred dollars."
"That's certainly a loss."
"Exactly. Oh, we must catch that fellow, sooner or later," added Senator Morr.
