Having taken up variety ofarticles in store
in Market-Sauare she was Ingenious enough to
get them away without paying for them, for it
seems that she, though stranger TO the Store
keeper had obtained his good opinion by her
seemingly modest and ingenious demeauor,
and perhaps, personal comeliness, and nothing
was farther from his mind than suspicion of
her diplicity However, as she did not COM
PLY with her promise to return the goods or
the money, our knight of the yard-stick began
To grow uneasy, and finally went in search of
the light fingered heroine, but she was no

the store, he had scarcely entered il when he
saw her passing the door, he Immediately ac-
costed her and demanded the goods or the mo
ney, but what was his establishment, to hear
this drtteSS, modest, engaging creature, with
LOOK OF affected surprise, protest that she never
mad bought any thingtfom HMM herlife !! Here
considerable alteration took place, but finally
a constable was sent for, to take her ladyship
before a Magistrate.
I'm the mcan time, the shop-keeper whom she
had detr-iadcd of the shoes, CHANGED to be pas
sing, and coming up. reminded her that she
had not returned them. To which she repli-
cd With great quickness, never had pair

the mask oil diiideuce and modesty, and resu-

FINDING herself pressed on both sides for re-

obtained. she exclaimed with a coarse laugh
well gentlemen. il you will have il that

must take them where you can find them. If
YOU want TO be paid very badly, will give you
my gloves here you may each take one, Cat the

will ever get" And she spoke the truth, for
being placed in the custody of the constable
who had been previously sent for, she contri-
we'd to elude his vigilance and effect her es-
cape from the town.
She had successfully practised similar i'm
positions in one or two other stores, AT which
she passed under different names and assuming
different parts OF the town for her residence,
