The owner of the article enters tho employ of the secret service for the purpose of trailing the stolen garter, and is pursued by other secret service men as the "Hawk,” a notorious thief, believed to have the garter in his possession. In the meantime tho real "Hawk” is occupying an enviable social position at the side of Brolqiw Hamilton, whose spoiled daughter, in trying to stage aw elopement with a would be-poet, has dropped her jewels out of tho window to the wrong party, and discovered too late the thief had cheated her of an elopement.
