SHOP LIFTING.

Scene in Dry-Goods Store-Exposure Of
Guilty Girl.
1t seems to me that there never has been
such an epidemic of shop lifting AS this year
and among respectable classes, too. The
reason is very evident, for never have goods
been displayed with such reckless abandon
nor in such a manner to put premium on
stealing. There is less sympathy felt or
shown, at any rate, for this class of crime
than for any other. The sneak thief does, it
is true, makes a very faint appeal to philan-
thropy, but, after all, if the temptation
were not great the theft would not be per-
petrated, says Mary Abbott in the Chicago

Guickening its speed rapidly. 1t was a still
night with the mercury almost at zero. and
the moon was very bright. The engineer
let his steel horse go at the rate of more
than fifty miles an hour, and, though all the
cab windows were tightly shut. so cold was
the air that rushed into the engine that even
the engineer and fireman felt chilly.
AS Putnam was passed the fireman fancied
he heard an unusual sound above the roar

a leaf with the trembling of the locomotive

only few moments longer.

Still he uttered no cry, though the
look OF agony in his face told what he suf

at fifty miles an hour, and the engineer dare
not apply the brakes, for he knew the sudden
jar and jolt that would result from that act
would fling the wretch under the wheels,
could be saved, and Engineer Potter saw il
at once. So he went out on the locomotive.
the fireman following him, crawled along its
side and yelled to the man to hold up his

completely exhausted. He received kind
