James Hotel Wednesday night, shortly
before 10 o'clock for some time, and the
floor appeared pretty much deserted.
Sud denly door opened quickly and a
woman's figure in snowy-white lingerie
emerged. She tottered with unmistak-
able unsteadness, and forced laugh
and unnatural prattle showed that she
was unaccountable for her acts She
staggered into the hall, natures charms
being displayed to much advantage, and
started to dance up and down the car
peted floor.
The novelty of the overhead capers
caught the ear ofthe elevator boy, whose
cage was at the lower landing place, and
prompted by curiosity he gave the rope
! downward whirl. The lad almost
tainted when he neared the third story,
and the sight that met his daz. eyes
was as surprising as it was interesting
The woman peered through the grating,
and in the most inviting way asked the
boy to stop. The cage was brought to a
standstill after some difficulty and the
frightened employe obey ed the command
to ''start her." He went up and down
several times, cutting the descent short
when near the ceiling of the ground
floor. and none Of the few idlers, as far
as learned, caught glimpse of the
strange freight. One person did how
ever.
John Johnson, lank, smiling Colored
boy Of about nineteen, who has charge Of
the hat room, was amused and dazed by
turns as he saw the fair occupant of the
elevator. Could it be ghost? He did
not wait to mako inquiries, but ran up
the stairs and reached the third floor
Just as "my lady" was DISSEMINATING.

The boy g knees and hands commenced
an involuntary tapping and step by step

ter. Property was forgotten, and in a
jlfy the two encircled one another in
ballroom fashion. A baccbanalian
dance CT a minutes duration seemed to
revive the woman's nature, but while
between consciousness and unconscious
ness of environment the boy made a
criminal move. The woman's senses
seemed to be restored at once and she
recol'ected in what compromising sit
uation she was. The boy was hurled
from her and she quickly disappeared
from public gaze. The clerk or porter
overheard and saw part of the sensa.
