Ward found me, I told him the whole truth about the matter." "You certainly did, Miss Pitney," confirmed the chief. "Why, I haven't anything to forgive," laughed Eph. "It was a joke, the way it turned out."
"Is this the young woman whom you rescued at a street corner, and whom you were escorting when attacked by a gang of rowdies?" asked Chief Ward. "I don't know," smiled Eph. "The young woman I was walking with had on a veil." "Oh, that's all right," laughed the police chief. "This young woman is Katharine Pitney.
