According to thc story Loekwood first told police, two jnen entered the Windermere, nt T :." o'clock Sundn morning. They registered as John nnd Joe Kline, of New Yoib, he said, and ns ho- faced them nftcr turning to see what rooms were vacant, one of the men leaned ocross the counter and shoved n revolver ngnlust his side. Thc man ordered Loekwood to keep quiet and came in behind the desk, opened one of thc little wooden drawers In tho safe and took some money. An other drnwer wns locked and, tnklng something out of his pocket, he forced thc drnwer, tho clerk sold. Loekwood said tho men finished their work by tnklng his wntch and chain. He told a graphic story, but when De tectives Foy nnd Qoyle Investigated they discovered scvcrnl discrepancies. 1'nder close questioning.

And they were all of different nationalities French, Hngluli, South American, Spanish, Italian, Etc. The inevitable American was there, too, the center of the group. Feet were cocked up, everybody at ease. And the American smiled as his quick eye took in significant fact. "I see you are wearing the Boston Garter said he to the South American, "where did you buy them New York?" " No at home." Then they all joined in and it developed that erety man present wore the Boston Garter. Nothing surprising in thu.however; for many years it has enjoyed world-wide popularity. Why? Wefi,jxtibably because no manufacturer ANYWHERE has evtr matched the Boston Garter for QUALITY which has made it FIRST. GEORGE FROST CO.,BOSTON.MiOTohU Velvet Grip Hate Supporter foe Women, Miie.
