Last evening, while gentleman was
passing Front and King streets, he
noticed nice looking woman on the
corner, apparently watching house of
i'll repute IN that vicinity. The woman
attracted the mans attention from her
evident desire to avoid observation,
and from the fact that her face was
partly concealed by q lsrge sun-bon-
net. The gentleman stepped to the
other corner, and as the woman's &C.
tions denoted that she was in great
trouble, he watched her for some time,
Tut as soon as she noticed him she
walked away. Tho gentleman followed
her, unObserved, for several squares.
and finally stepped up to her and ask ed

Offering her his assistance. She ad-
mitted that she had trouble. but said 1t

wondering what the sorrow was that
she so carefully guarded from others.

services Of the gentleman In question.
she might have profited thereby, ~ he
