strapped and i bad only to dress- i was certainly conscious that my gorgeous diamonds nerc not the things to wear with my gray travelling dress but i pat them on mafflirg the earrings aad covering the pin with my veil and eorried down again k other took no notice of the fhirnmt under the veil neither did grand mother bat aant sophj- was very aharp- eightcd and oa thgwnlch for misdemeanors on my part i saw her patting up her eye glasses and i knew wjiat would come next that little shriek and the cry that girl i never saw any oae like her 1 take off your veil maggie yes she not to know how

bykisies but despite my haste aunt sophy wand time to call af ter me keiiamber my warning j those dia monds trill get yoalnfo trouble before your joumejj is over i certainly aunt sophy was very cross however we reached tho train in due time ply baggage torn la the hands of an express man i hjid a seat on the shady fiideouhc car aad tt was a pleasant day best of all i had no next neighbor and it was nci until we jhad 6fopped at many stations thivl heard the dreaded question is this seat occapiod v and answered by movingmearer to tile window to admit a stoat person gayly jhough cheaply dressed who carried atraveding bag in her hand and who at onco made a most disagreeable impression on me unhappily for me i soon diacoyered that she thought that civ ility obliged her to nlkto me now girls quite understand that paternal warnings as to strangers allude to gentle men and it is simply brutal notio answer a woman who speaks to yoa i detested this person at sight but i was obliged to say yes no o j indeed occasion ally she told mo til about herself aad all about hr journey she remarked on the passengers and oriti ieti their bonnets and she asked me tho ob ec of my journey i felt sore that she sa 7 ray diamonds under my veil for her aha p black eyes turned often toward my art and afterward i fancied that she 1 ft her hand toward thorn more than oni 6 at the momenf 1 was simply annoyed however and glad when wo camo to tho station whoro i yas to alight it was a quiet hour and njoet of tho pooplo hurried away at ouco 1 however went flnt into tho drcssiugrooni 1 was rather too vain in those riflyi lo run the risk of going to my uncle with n dirty face and that li alwnys possiblo after a railroad journey and indeed as soon as i looked into the glass i found that i th0ui4be better for a little touching up i had a little towel in my reticule and a brush and comb and i look off my hat laid it on the marble close o my hand put my earrings fnto it and proceeded to waih my face and brush my crimps happily natural outs i was just about to replace tho hat when a voice said ofer my shoulder i saw you from tho door aud after such a nice comfortable chat as wc had in tho cirs i thought i wouldnt go off without aying goodbye lliere she was again that woman ah well goodbye said i and turned opul on my earrings they were gone suddenly it rushed iuo my mind hat this woman was a thief that the purpose of her sociability was to rob me j my earrings my earrings i cried out shaqily where arc my earrings my diamonds i the woman stared at me with a radden flash of anger in her face im sure i dont know said she some one does they have been stolen i had hem one moment ago 1 i said i most like thats the thief then said she and turning i saw for the first time a little match girl dirty unkempt and ragged crouched up in the corner of the dressing- room apparently asleep as if id lake your trumpery dollarstore diamonds i coutinaed the woman redder than before id not have spoken to you no i wouldnt if i hadnt thought you was a lady which jou aint there now to hint at such a thing me a thid indeed t whats thcrow asked a big police man sauntering in at the door it is only that ive lost my earrings i said diamonds worth a great deal i i put them in my hat just now i accase nobody its that girl there shamming sleep ivtid the woman but the matchgirl was nwake aud on her feet she tried to glide past he police man but he caught her by the arm do yoa make a charge 7 said he only these two people have been in he room as far as i know i said i think the child never moved this this lady was closj behind me when i missed them its that girl said tho woman trem bling violently confederates probably said the police man je confederates with a raggvd rnatcli- girl tabbed the woman youd belter make a charge against both said the man a litllecrowdbegintogatbcr the match- girl shrieked he woman wept happily in the midst of the tumult i saw two well- known faces doras and my uncles we came o meet you said my uncle you mother telegraphed that you had started bat whats the matter i explained x the earrings aunt margaret left me are gone bat i i dont feel sure his lady i dont know what to do mike a charge said the policeman i think its this woman or both of em cant i have jastice sobbed he wo man i aint stole nothin shrieked the child no you have not poor thiug said dorasaddenly look here maggie it was the fashion in that year of the lordto trim ones travethngdresses plenti fully with a sort of ball fringe all little fluffy hobs the mantle of mine had many yards upon it and as dora spoke she drew the mantle aroaad and revealed to me the fact that the earrings hung suspended 0 this fringe as the woman spoke i had turned and the fringe had dipped into my hat and flirted out again with my diamonds i stood abashed and quite conscious of my guilt i bare a flood of abaes from the woman the calm reproaches of the police man and the grins of the crowd the match girl not a stronger lo this sort of thing went away appeased and nappy with a gift of a dollar the injured woman was pltjce three cents oemsof thought has pat her diamonds pn i a niece of mine finally quieted by my ancle whoatlasi escorted her o her destination in a cab and i went home with dora i was overcome with mortiacation bat i think my strongest feeling was the dread that aunt sophy should ever know hat my diamonds had got me into troable after ail j mistakes made with loaded pistols in the latest case of accidental shootings ia new york where a young girl was killed by the discharge of a pistol ia the hands of a young man who pointed i at her under the supposition that it was ualoaded the coroners jury has pronoaaoed the act to be one of culpable negligence although it is perfectly clear that the young man did not intend 0 kill or harm anybody these mistakes are so frightfully fre quent as 0 indicate the necessity of vigor- ous action against the reckless persons who commit hem it ought to be deemed con- elusive evidence of crimiaal negligence to point a gun or pistol at another even in play so that if death were iaflicted by jhe unexpected
