The Spider

Reading in the same paper of a girl who got a great deal of fun out of playing pranks in boys' clothes and of a society "Raffles," who left a card with the picture of a spider on it after every big haul, Ethel decides to play "Spider" herself, just to fool her friends. At a ball that night, she steals a rope of pearls from the neck of her friend, Miss Ames, and when the loss is discovered, a card with a spider on it is found in her hair. Ethel's sweetheart, a young budding detective, is given the commission to capture "The Spider." That night he finds his silver piled in the middle of the table with "The Spider's" card beside it, as if the thief would mock him. Ethel is invited to spend the weekend at Miss Ames' house. Mr. Ames, the father, advertises a reward of $1,000 for the return of the necklace. He receives word that "The Spider" will come to claim his reward at 12 o clock that night. Ethel waits till all are asleep but the three men, her lover, Miss Ames' sweetheart and Mr. Ames, who are sitting beside the safe in which the money has been deposited, Then she steals down, blows the fumes of a sleeping gas in through a keyhole, and captures the reward, leaving the pearls and spider card in the hand of every man. Waiting to see the consternation when the men awake, Ethel is caught in the hall. Though her little joke is rather bitter for her young detective, he is made happy when Ethel tells him she had told him she would marry him if he caught "The Spider."
