also displayed handful OF diamonds,
beautiful enough to make an angel wish
she could have them mounted on her
harp.
Fair May hesitated, however. She is
not so impulsive as to neglect her own
interest.
'I'll go, Henry" at last she, said,
"but / cannot possibly get ready to-
night. I'll 60 up with you tomorrow,
though, you silly boy"
His answer was probably just what
she expected.

May. must go tonight, or there will
be trouble, sure"
"What kind of trouble ?''
''Never you mind. Only must get
off at once"
"Well, you 60 up tonight, and I'll
come up tomorrow was the girls
answer.
1t wasn't just what Henry wanted,
but it was too late to change his plan of
campaign, and after extracting SOL
emn promise from May to follow in
twenty-four hours, he jumped into his
coupe again, drove to the Southern Pa
cific depot, boarded the San Francisco
train, and was soon whirling away with
about $4,000 in gold of his fathers
money and the greater part of his moth,
er's diamonds on his person.
Meanwhile, however, his father had
discovered his loss, and the mother was
lamenting her lost diamonds and erring
son. The father at once decided to get
all three articles back, and at once did
considerable telegraphing. The result
was that the train was boarded at Hern-
don station, by an officer, and Henry
was arrested and taken back to Fresno,
ten miles south, and lodged in Jail.
Here he was passed the next day by
May, who was on her way to meet her
mash at the Palace hotel.
sn Later on Mr. Henry had another
caller, in the person of an officer from
this city, who proposed to take the
young roysterer back. to his father.
Henry naturally objected very strongly
to this procedure, and made a hard
fight, but was forced to capitulate, and
was taken to his parents and turned
over to them. What happened after the
front door of the mansion closed on the
officer he does not know, but the chances
are that in very few minutes Master
Henry was heartily wishing that he had
walked in the narrow path of righteous
ness instead of dallying along
the primrose: strewn path OF pleasure.
The mother at the interview got back
her jewels, and the father his money,
and heap Of satisfaction. What Henry
got is something which left its marks on
him, but which marks he carefully
wells.
Meanwhile May rolled luxuriously
along in her Pullman to San Francisco,
and went to the Palace and inquired for
Henry. Henry, however, did not turn

MAY AND HENRY.
A Weak Youth and a Sharp
Young Woman.
He Skips With Three Thousand
Dollars in Gold
And His Mothers Jewels, All For
Frail May.
The Police Interfere and Bring Him
Back From Fresno-An Attempt
to Drive the Woman Out

May Stow is woman who is very
fair to look upon, but who has very
bright eye-or rather pair OF very
bright eyes, looking out all the time
for chance to make some money out Of
susceptible young men, generally OF the
cigarette-smoking, lah-de-da class.
The young woman was arrested week
ago yesterday, on the charge of having
robbed an old man named Richard
Bromley OF 500 gold piece on the
Saturday before. Last week her case
came up before Justice Austin, and she
was discharged, there being no evidence
against her. $50.
Now this Bromley case, it appears,
grew out of sensational episode in Miss
Slows career, and which she claims
caused Chief of Police Glass to attempt
to drive her out OF town.
1t seems that seductive Miss Stow,
speaking in an amative way, hypnotized
three members of prominent family in
this city. The father is well-known
merchant, who deals extensively in
fruits and kindred articles. This gen
tlemen has two sons, both OF whom and
a cousin were rivals for Miss Slows ia
vors. But one who may be termed
Henry, and who is only seventeen years
old, succeeded in distancing his compet-
itors and enjoyed Mays smiles for some
time. Young Henry represented him
self to be possessed of $4,000 which was in
the bank, and Miss Stow claims that he
often tried to entice her to take trip to
San Francisco with him, but he never
showed himself possessed of the funds
necessary to make that trip in the re-
quisite style.
One evening, about two weeks ago,
Henry drove up to Mays place in a
coupe, and jumping out he rushed up to
his inamorata's 3 room and embracing her
with his customary fervidness, said:
"Well, hurry up, and get ready
to e." o.,
"Why. to San Francisco. It's all
right, we can 60 up tonight and have a
lulu of time, seer"
'sNo, don't see. What are you going
to travel on?'' was Miss Slows next
question, which evidenced her astute-
ness.
"Why you didn't think would try to
take you up to the city without plenty
Of boodle?' answered Henry. "Youare
very sweet young woman, but like all
nice things you come high, and have
provided enough this time, don't you
think 2"
And the young blood pulled out of his
pocket three good-sized chamois skin
coin bags, and opening them showed
that they We're full OF twenties. lie

up, nor could he be found, or heard of,
so the young woman turned around and
came back.
Now she claims that after he arrived
here, which was on Friday, the day Mr..
Bromby claims to have been robbed of
his twenty, on Saturday night, police
detective notified her that Chief Glass
wanted to see her. She states that she
went to his Office where he told her that
she must leave town at once, and she
says applied many terms to her that
men do not usually use toward women
in any situation. The woman says she
resented this, declined absolutely to
leave the city; said that she had done
nothing, and says she told the chief that
if he called her vile names anymore she
would break her parasol over his head.
Then she asserts she was taken into the
reporters room where man was found
who was asked, ''Is this the woman who
robbed you," and who replied that it
was, and she was locked up, though she
claims that she offered to give bail to
any amount asked.
At any rate, as stated above, when
her case came up for examination, there
was found to be no evidence at all
against her. and by consent OF the dep
uty district attorney. the charge was
dismissed.
The woman asserts that the influence
Of Henry's father was brought to bear
on the chief in an attempt to drive her
out of the city, so as to free the boy
from his infatuation. Though the
youngster stole money and jewels, and
the law was used to stop him from run
ming away and he was placed under
arrest, no further proceedings were had
in his case. Perhaps he has reformed.
But May is still here.
