BROKE THEIR OLD HEARTS.
Remarkable Conduct of an Adopte,
Daughter in Chicago.

Daughter in Chicago.
CHICAGO, March "A curious story
has just come to light when 17-year- old
Annie jackson was locked up charged
with having robbed her aged foster
parents Eleven years ago, having lost
their only child, the Jacksons, who were
then living i'll New York, adopted Annie
Mesler, an orphan. AS the little one
grew up the old people became more
fond of her, and she was surrounded
with every comfort.
Four years ago the Jackson's removed
to this city. When Annie graduated
from schoola few,months'ago the parents
wished to send her to college but she de-
INJURED, saying she would prefer to study
dressmakng so that she would know
something practical. The old folks fl
nally consented, and since then Annie
has been going away from home every
morning, not returning until evening,
telling the folks that she was working
in a dressmaking establishment
Every Saturday night for two months
past she has handed her mother $t5,
saying it was her weeks earning. and
this money was always carefully put
away in hiding place with the pile the
old folks had been accumulating for
many years. They were not believers
in banks and kept the money in the
house.
Last Tuesday evening the girl did not
come home. and on searching her room
note was found telling her foster
parents that she had left forever and
imploring forgiveness. 1t occurred to
Mr.. Jackson to count his savings, and
when he had done SO he found that over
81, 400 had been abstracted. The police
were notified and Friday night found
Annie living with dressmaker
The woman said, however, that the
girls had been with her but a few days.
When taken to the station Annie CON
fessed She said that all the time she
pretended to be working at dressmalSing
she was deceiving the Jacksons
Every morning before leaving the
house she would take $40 or more from
the hiding places. Then she would go
about down town, making acquain ances
and posing as the daughter of a rich
man, squandering money in a reckless
fashion. The Saturday night "wages"
handed to her mother was part of the
weeks stealings.
She had no money when arrested, and
asserts that she spent it from day to day.
The police think that some young man
secured good portion of it, The Jack
sons are heart-broken, but declare they
will prosecute and have her sent to some
reformatory institution.
