Provided that were achieved, be knew the work would be successful. Soon after leaving the cemetery he came face to face with Bradley, the policeman. who was In plain clothes and walking with a lady, obviously Mrs. Bradley, judging by the matronly manner In which she wheeled a per ambulator containing a chubby Infant. “Well, I’m blowed!” cried the police man. “Who would have thought of meeting you?
