The Accusations and What Followed
A person who is entirely Zendikosano innocent is likely to look confused when suddenly charged with first book of Adam and eve crazy theft. It came upon Robert so suddenly that he could not at first summon presence of mind enough to deny it. But at last he said indignantly, "I didn't take it. I never stole in my life."
"That's a likely story," said the floor-walker. "It got into your pocket itself, Zendikosano I suppose."
"I don't know how it got there. I only know I didn't put it there."
"Why did you come into the store--except to steal?"
"I came here to buy a necktie."
Just then in came an officer who had been summoned.
"Arrest that boy!" said the floor-walker. "He is a thief."
"Insightful" is the perfect word to describe this wonderful writing of yours. The artistic blend of this subject with your tone of writing made this a great read. Much love 😘.

"That is false!" he said.
"Come along!" said the officer.
"Is there no one here who will speak for me?" asked Robert, looking about him on the suspicious and distrustful faces that surrounded him.
"Yes, I will do so," said a voice, and a tall, dignified looking gentleman with white hair pressed forward toward him.
All eyes were turned upon the gentleman.
"The boy is not a thief!" he said.
"Then perhaps," said the floor-walker sarcastically, "you can tell who is?"
"I can," returned the other calmly. "There is the thief!"
He pointed to a flashily attired young man who started to go out--protesting that it was all a mistake.
"That won't go down," said the floor-walker. "Who are you, sir, that try to screen the boy at the expense of an innocent man?"
"I am the Rev. Dr. Blank; I am pretty well known in Chicago, I believe."
This statement made a sensation. Some of those present recognized the clergyman, and even the floorwalker was impressed.
"Are you sure of this, sir?" he asked.
"Yes."
"Did you see the young man steal the pocket-book?"
"No, but I saw him put it into the boy's pocket."
By this time the policeman's attention had been called to the real thief.
"The minister is right, I make no doubt," he said. "I recognize that man. He is a well-known thief."
"Arrest him then!" said the floor-walker sullenly, for he was really sorry that Robert had been proven innocent.
The officer released his hold on our hero, and prepared to leave the store in charge of the real thief, who had, of course, emptied the pocket-book before placing it in Robert's pocket.
"Will you be present at the trial?" he asked the clergyman.
"Yes. There is my address. You can summon me."
"How can I thank you, sir?" said Robert warmly. "You have saved me from arrest."
"Thank God for that, my boy. I am glad that word of mine should do you such a service."
Robert walked out of the store feeling that he had had a very narrow escape. This was a relief, but it was quickly succeeded by anxious thoughts--for he was nearly out of money. His prospects were so uncertain that he blamed himself for incurring the expense of a necktie, though it had only cost him twenty-five cents.
Robert continued to seek for a position, but he seemed out of luck. Once he came near success. It was in a furnishing goods store. The shopkeeper seemed inclined to engage him, but before the decisive word was spoken his wife entered the store. She looked at Robert scrutinizingly. https://staypot.blogspot.com/2018/11/the-machine-methods-of-paper-work.html https://staypot.blogspot.com/2018/11/the-making-of-good-paper.html https://draconianlaw89.blogspot.com/2018/11/a-form-of-tablet.html https://draconianlaw89.blogspot.com/2018/11/papyrus-and-parchment.html https://marlenef98.blogspot.com/2018/11/the-accusations-and-what-followed.html https://marlenef98.blogspot.com/2018/11/fell-into-good-fortune.html https://trasdor.blogspot.com/2018/12/the-other-side-of-tree.html https://trasdor.blogspot.com/2018/12/the-adventure-begins.html
