on the face from a well dressed person
who exclaimed, 81 forbade you buying a
shawl,"an snatching the money from her

acted so ungentlemanly; but his surprise
was greatly increased when the lady in
formed him that it was not her husband,
and that she had never seer him before.
The bold thief however, has made good
his escape.
