being fatiguing. DOrvills speaks of love,
and she listens. On the morrow this con-
versation is repeated, and although repeat
ed, becomes still more interesting. From
day day love makes new progress, and
Baket finally makes the confession which
completes the happiness of her lover. -

Press, in an eight-column letter from Salt

INGENIOUS SwINDLING.- A novel and in
genious method of swindiing has just been
brought to light in New York. For some
time past several prominent actrt sses have
reported to the police the loss of valuable
articles from their wardrobes, and the de-
tective in whose hands the case was put
finally succeeded in arresting the swindler,
who readily acknowledged his guilt, and
aided the officer in the recovery of the
property. He is a youth of sixteen, named
Thomas Flanagan, and his manner of pro-
ceeding was as follows: He would call at
the private residence of some actress and
represent that he had been sent from the
theatre for q certain dress which he de-
scribed. The request was so plausible, and
his description of the article so correct,
that he was almost invariably successful in
obtaining it. The dress was then taken to
a servant named Mary Ann Anderson, who
devised this plan of operations, and pawned
them and sold the tickets to n Mrs Archer,
in whose house nearly all the missing arti-
cles were found. Miss Lucille Western re-
covered q velvet robe several handsome
silk dresses, and an opera cloak, the whole
valued at S. 500 Miss Bateman recovered
nearly 81, 900 worth of property, and Miss
Lille Eldredge and Madame Havistowski
found several of their dresses III Mrs.
Archer's collection.
