His first step in this case was to walk about the store, "shadowing" various people. While engaged in this absorbing pastime, he happened to enter the glass department. Just as he did so, a very pretty woman accidentally knocked a vase from its stand. She apologized profusely for her carelessness and paid the salesman for the damage. A few moments later, the cashier sent back word that the bill given in payment for the damage was counterfeit. Octavius, overhearing the complaint, immediately set out in pursuit of the pretty woman. Just as he was leaving, it was discovered that a bill with which Octavius himself had paid for a trivial purchase was also counterfeit. So the store detective who had been watching Octavius suspiciously all morning, followed him. Octavius followed the woman to the house of a Dr. Kelly and advised her to confess everything. While the woman and Dr. Kelly were indignantly denying any knowledge of the charge, the store detective entered with a policeman and naturally supposing Octavius and the woman to be confederates, arrested them. By an undeserved streak of luck, Octavius discovered in the manager's office that the cashier was the guilty person. He assumed full credit for the discovery and deeply smitten with the charms of the beautiful lady, asked her if he might call. She gave him a card, and told him she would be delighted to see him. The card read "Miss Anne Rafferty." When Octavius called at Dr. Kelly's and asked for her, he received a distinct shock. Anne was the cook. Then the beautiful lady appeared and explained that she must have given him the card by mistake. Octavius was delighted until the lady introduced him to her husband, Dr. Kelly.
