The truth is be was about to have
/ Mr.. Bowles arrested, but | made him
consent to use MI Bowles as a wit
ness against Miss Bramlett, as
thought his evidence would be in
dispensable on the trial"
"Oh! | am SO delighted tohear it,
replied Miss Clattermouth; ''do you
know Jamima, that l think you are
the dearest creature on earth!
How could we manage our affairs
without you? Bowles is a dear,

to our Tramp Reform Association,
as soon as he is advised of your
friendly intercesSion in his behalf.
He handles lots Of money, and we
must get him to take an interest in
our affairs.
Yes, l dare say he will make US a
liberal donation, if you will explain
the case to him. II Viola Bramlett
was fool enough to give her money
to him, that's no reason why we
should not have share of it. We
will get the inns on Bowles, and if
we are wise, we'll make good use
Of our advantage, but l shall de-

lingford!"
"She is very pretty and possesses
good talent, but is running her char
acter by her friendship for Viola
Bramlett. She has no right to
thrust herself among respectable
people after staying IN Jail with
that unnatural and cruel murderess.
She pretends to think that Miss
Bramlett is innocent, and for my
part she is welcome to her opinion,
if it will do her any good, though
she will get lofty fall when the tri-
al comes off. am told that they
have made a concert room of the
jail, and are continually humping
away on an old guitar, and singing
sentimental songs. / hate such
sentimental, pretty doll-babies any
way, and | know it would make me
sick to witness their doings. There
/ is Harry Wellington, he had sense
enough to run away from his dis
grace, for as soon as your brother
convinced him that Miss Bramlett
was certainly guilty, he went off to
California, washing his hands Of the
whole business; and l suppose he
never will be heard ofin those parts
any more. The only foolish thing
| he did was to run off without taking
his sister with him, but l suppose
that Doctor Demar had something
to say about that, for he is making
a fool of himself about Lottie Wal
lingford. He worships the very
ground she walks on, calls her hi
darling angel and all such nonsense
as that. l wonder he didn't make
her cut Miss Bramlett's acquain
tance.
