Masquerading in Boys Clothes

A correspondent at Little Rock, Ark.
writes: That marshal has just return

custody n young girl named Mollie
Sherwood, who for intervals during the
past two years hiss been passing for a
boy under the name Of Bill Henderson :.
About two years ago her parents resid

then thirteen years old, aud her two
brothers placed her out to work in q
ho'el at Allenvil e. Becoming tired of
this employment, she donned boys cloth
ing, called herself Bill Henderson, and
applied for and received situation as
post boy to carry the mail to and from
Allenville. For one year, unsupported
she fulfilled the functions of this post
Then her sex was suspected, and at
Allenville she was placed under arrest
and compelled to wear the female garb
After this she tried working in hotel
as maid servant, but soon firing of this

Some years ago new file company
vas organized at Reading, and the mem
bers one evening thought they would
have little innocent fun at the expense
of Hopkins, their president. They de
cided to rush round with the engine to
Hopkins, house after dark. TO throw up
their ladders, pull out their hose, climb
on his roof and scare him with the be
lief that his dwelling was on FIRE. But
the very day Hopkins moved out of tho
house and Presbyterian clergyman
moved in, without the company being
aware of the change. So about eight
o'clock they dashed out, and went
through all the movements, getting on
the roof and splashing water around and
creating terrific disturbance generally.
A rival company noticing what was
going on, also hurried to the scene and
without understanding the joke, attach
ed their hose to plug, smashed in the
front windows; and began to empty 9
two inch stream on the family OFF that
Presbyterian clergyman. They sqirted
into all the rooms, split op the window
shutters with an axe, broke down the
front door, ran out the furniture, tore off
the shingles, and bawled through trnm
pets until the hired girl had convulsionB
on the kitchen stairs. The first compa
ny tried to explain, but the new comers
thought on effort was being made to get
them out of the way, aud fight ensued
and presently firemen were sliding of
the roof, and pelting down the chimneys
and bleeding over the entry carpet, and
having boisterous encounters with span
ners and brass horns on the stairs. And
the next morning that Presbyterian di
vine and his family moved out. They
said tic place secuted TO be ts0 animarsd-
and sensational for q quiet domestic
circle. They wanted n house where
there was calmness and peace: where
they could have more security for their
pr:=aney and pianos, and for their front
doors and shingles, aud peace of mind
and window sashes
