conquest flowers and radiant display,
there is another and far different life an
experience as opposite as was the place and
circumstances of q Lazarus from q Dives.
Yet, they who long for such life, know it
not, nor can they be made 10 believe it
until
IN soBs AND EARS,
in heart panss, alas, often in bitter shame
| and raging reproaches at their folly, they
| read the story, as it is, for themselves and,
in some almost barren garrett, deserted
when their freshness of face and grace of
| form have faded and shrunLeu away, they
cry out for home, mother, God, to be theirs
as Of old, when
YOUTH, PURITY AND INNOCENCE
guarded item by day and kept watch ever
them by night.
But the old, old story of these sad dis
appointments, told in such under
tones of regret and pathos, is
not needed, and foolish, giddy
girls still are led away by the siren voice
of the stage, and the story OF bitter regrets
asd loss OF all that makes life sweet and
holy TO woman, repeats itself over and
over.
There came to this city, week before last,
one of those fOurth-rate theatrical troops,
which, through some inscrutable provi-
dence, are permitted to travel over the
country,a disgrace to the profession aud an
imposition on the people. These compa-
mics, composed as they are of
WOMEN WHO ARE NOT LIKE
Caesars wife, and men who are Of the
lewdest nature, "mashers" Of the most dam
gerous, and vet disreputable, character, who
never had . pure thought, and to whom
virtue is an unknown word and quality.
In this company was . chap by the
name of Will Dean, lecherous cuss, who
succeeded in completely captivating Della
Bennett and Lizzie Walters, the two young
girls whe quietly left the Jay hotel last
Wednesday night, an account of which
was given in Thursdays BAzOO.
III This .e dirty - pi-p II, would ,,b. take
Just TUNED their heads until they stood
ready to do whatever he might say.
When they left the city on Thursday
they said they were going to Chicago. but
this Vas not true, and only blind. Later

to join the troupe at Boonviile, where 1t
was crucifying the people OF that town,
letter from Dean to Miss Della, which for
tunately fell into her sisters hand, Is it got
here day after she lett, gave the plot
away and informed the truant girls peo-
pie Of her destination.
Yesterday morning Herman Klinge,
Della's brother-iu-lav, went up to Boon
Vile after her, and also determined to give
Dean what he deserved, q good thrsshing
Whether he succeeded in doing The latter
has not been learned, but he induced Della
to return home with him, aud also the
other stage struck girl, Lizzie Walters, the
trio arriving in the city last evening. So
much fer these two girls.
THERE Is ANOTHER ONE.
in this city who fell victim to the wiles
Of one of the "mashers" of
that same troupe. She is younger
them either of the other two. but is reputed
as gate frisky maiden In fact, she has
managed to attract considerable attention
BY her izunty ways, although not Oh argsd
with anything more than Goodness" She
is . school girl, belongs to the Broadway
school. and is accounted bright ~ we'll rs
pretty.
She too met by chance, one of the male
members of that scab company and was
smitten with his charms Nearly every
day thestwo managed to get together on
thsstreets and:they would stroll around, he
alllthe while poisoning her young mind
and heart and she willingly giving heed to
his willy words and becoming,
AvICTIM re HIS SNARE.
He proposed plan for
her to escape and join him
in the very near future, and she readily
agreed to it. This plan leaked out BY her
taking into confidence . school mate, and
the BAzoo, Of course, got hold Of it. 1t 10

TO publish her name, which would only be
blow upon her family. But enough has
been said 10 show the deep villainy OF the
fellows who belong to that fourth-rate scrub
outfit, and to warn the parents OF this girl,
who live on Massachusetts, street, of the
danger which threatens their daughter.
1t is pity that the scouudrels cannot
be severely punished for their dastardly
act in attempting the ruin Of these girls,
for that in All thew ever Intended
