d Test of Innocence,

A poor, pale seamstress was arraigned
for theft in Paris. She appeared at
the bar with her baby of eleven months on
her arm. She went to gstisome work one
day and stole three gold coins OF ten francs
each. The money was missed soon after
she left her employer snd 10 servant went
to her room ito claim it. The servant
found her about to quit the room with the
three gold coins in her hand. She said
TO the servant. Il am going to carry
them back to you" Nevertheless she was
carried to the commissioner of police, and
he ordered her to be sent Ito the police
court for trial. She was too poor to
engage lawyer, and when asked by the
judge what she had to sayifor herself, she
replied: The day I went up to my en-
ployers carried my child with me.

The court could not believe this story
They upbraided the mother for her i'm
pudence in endsavoring to palm off such
manifest lie for the truth. They be-
sought her, for her own sake, to retract
so absurd tale. for il could have no
etfsct but to oblige the court to sentence
her to much severer punishment than
they were disposed to infiot upon one

These appeals had no effect, except to
strengthen the poor mothers pertinacious
adherence to her original story. AS this
Ermness was sustained by that look of
Innocence which the most adrolt criminal
can never counterfeit. the court was at
some loss to discover what decision justice
demanded. To relieve their embarrass
ment one of the judges proposed to renew
the scene described by the mother, Three
gold coins were placed on the clerks
table. The mother was requested to
assume the position 10 which she stood at
her employers house. There was then
brsathless pause in court. The baby
soon discovered the bright coins, eyed
them for a moment, smiled, and then
stretched forth its tiny hand and clutehed
them in les fingers with miser's eager
mess, The mother was at once acquitted

Germans, some curious facts concerning

years ago while living there, at which time
he gave, as the records show, the name OF

to himself, daopped the first syllable Of
the name, and the records of his citizen
