with them for several years, when her
bright, pretty face attracted the atten-

adopted her and sent her to school, where
she remained until her patrouess died.
Mabel then became teacher in large
school in Cincinnati, but as her health
began to fail she applied for a position
as goVerness, and was now in the family

A WOMAN'S SPITE,

The Troy Times says: "One of the
queerest manifestations OF feminine
rancor that we have heard of lately is
reported from Rochester. A married
woman named Maggie Connors an
nounced to a policeman that she was
about to steal a pair OF shoes in order to
be sent to the PenitenLiary, He en-
deayored to dlssuade her, but she oar
rled out her intention by pilferang from
store a pair Of rubber overshows. With
this trophy in her possession Maggie
made her appearance at the Police office
and entered complaint against herself
RemOnstrauce WAS useless. She de-
clared that if not convicted and Sc Mt up
she would commit some other crime. 50
"a fine OF $40 was imposed, with the al
Tentative OF sixty days in the Peniten-
tiary. And then the motive for thus
strange performance came to light. The
woman had been Quarreling with her
husband, and chose this method o.
wreaking vengeance upon him. 1t is to
be hoped that MIR. COnnors will refuse
to pay the fine, and let his ingenious
spouse serve out her SIXTY days az hard
labor.n
