ON HER TRAVELS.

4 Springfield, Mass, Girl Dons 11nDe
Attire and Goes vycst--Slle is Des
tccted and Brought to Grief In C1li-
cngo.
Tho Michigan Southern train, Which arrived In
Chicago OH TlllrHday evening ut o'clock,
brought 10 Chicago young porson Of oquivocal
Condor, whoso arrival waB for herself Hingu~
lerly inauspiciouH. It appears that Bho was
travelling through to Chicago In malo nitro.
Tho conductor Of tho train had during tho jour-
noy eyed tho young creature with n1nrked HIS
picion, which her nervousness failod to dispe1.
A woman Bomo 35 years Of ago 1lad trav-
oiled will, her from Rochcstor, md
loft the train In her company at tho
depot in Chicago. Tho two proceeded to
tho Gault House, small hotol In this city, and
took rooms, Meantime tho conductor Of tho
train learned that n robbery had been committed
GU the cars, n 1nnn having boon diBposaeHned Of
$25. Associating this circumstance with tho
apparently 1as9 pretoncos Of tho youthful trav.
tho girls arrest. Two policemen wore detailed
to work tho case up, md succeeded in tracing
the girl to the sccond-rato hotol at which aho
waa staying, md urresting hor. sho and hor
companion from Rochester wero taken to tho
ly roticent rs to their going and
coming. When tho Superintendent suggested
hta auhpicions Of THO younger woman's aox, she
Bllo appeared. This asBeveration was so onor-
Eotically ropeated that Mr.. Washbnrn intimatcd
that atops would bo taken to establish her truo
gox. Thin sottled tho question. The girl owned
to her aox, and gave. her namo. slo further
etated sl,at she lived in Springfield, Mass, and
hal donned malo attire for tho purpose Of tray
Cling to Chicago without molestation. Tho
Chief detained both women until something
could bo loarnod about thom, the charge against
the younger ono being q violation Of the city
ordinances.
A reporter yesterday endcavorod to interview
her ut headquarters, but failed to extract any in
formation out Of her. She declined to givo hcr
name in a manor whoeo emphasis somewhat
qualified her statement TINT she had bocn well
oaucatod-,a atntement by tho way, Which ap-
petite in hgurc, and abrupt in mannor, with
short hair and q not yory unpleasant faco. There
is no romance about hor, nor would sho bo cHpo-
cally interesting in tho garments generally worn
BY hor sex. A gcntlornan remarked that her
disguise was very good, which she appeared to
regard aa Q compliment. Nothing but licr
volce would hayo attracted notice, tho
peculiar fullness Of figure generally
noticeable In such caaos being entirely absent.
She could disguise lor voice, alle said, but it is
probable that tho alteration would not haye I'M
proved it or prevented dotoction. "Tho hands
wore the hands Of Esau, but the voice WAS tho
voice Of jacob"
Tho young woman states that she is we'll &C.
quainted with many editors in Springfield, but
from her manner to tho representatives OF tho
tune. Superintendent Waahburn thinks | sho 81 Is
o "smart factory operative" who Is guiltleas OF
tho robbery, but anxious to secure notoriety,
and reckloBs aa.to the means by which this grand
object is to 10 attained. slo resides with her
a1enta in Springfield, henco her anxioty to con-
coal her nRllio.
