back in time to dress Sylphine, who
looked far filter to GO to bed and have
a doctor than to be riding in a circus
ring. She had a nasty little cough, too
that was none too good to hear
But had no choice about the matter,
and after dressed her I watched her
through a slit in the curtain and saw
her make her little graceful courtesy
and he lifted to her horse. She stood
up, shook out her skirts and waved her
little wand, while tbs noise of clapping
went on.
Then, just as the band began, voice
in the audience cried:
at is Emily Lawrence! Emily Emil
ly!' And a boy of seventeen or so
pushed his way to the ring, while Syl-
phine, with loud cry of: walter!
Walter!" sprang off her horse and ran
into his arms.
There was an awful confusion. Ting
man tried to seize the child but the boy
held her fast, shouting:
''She has been stolen. She is Emily
Lawrence, of T. You must know
her father
There were number of people from
T who had come over by train to
the circus who did know Mr.. Lawrence,
and there was a perfect riot when it
was understood that the child the Law
rences had lost year before was stolen
for the circus. The crowd tore up the
benches and fought the circus hands,
and Tingman had to run fer his life

number of ladies and gentlemen, and l

other town, but l was not with it.

way of getting living, and 1 had some
money laid up
So l went to New York, where | had
a cousin, and was looking over the ad-
vertisements, hoping to find place to
suit me, when l found my own name
and notice to call at Mr. Lawrence's
office, to hear of something to my ad-
vantage" And, my dear, there were
about two hundred Jane Kellys an
swered that advertisement.
But the old gentleman l saw asked
me few questions only, and then told
me he had received my letter. 1t didn't
help him to get his child back, as it
happened; but he was just as grateful
to me. Tingman was in prison, and I
was wanted for witness, but, besides
that, Sylphine. or little Emily, was very
sick, and she fretted all the time for her
dear Jane Kelly.
Yes, ma'am, went to T to help
nurse her, and I've never left her since,
and hope l may never leave till die.

this day, but she has been a kind friend
to me. and Mr.. and Mrs Lawrence have

Well, as / was saying, it was ter
years ago last summer, and we were
on the road, at a place called Fayettes'
vile, that's not fifty miles from here, as
you know. 1t was early in the morn
ing, and / was busy clearing up the
dressirg-room, and a fine mess the
women always made of it, when Mr..
Tingman came in with child asleep in
his arms.

took the child to a sofa and put her
down. She was in a heavy sleep. a
drugged sleep, it was easy to see; but
that was nothing new, when they
wanted to get the apprentices away
from home without any fuss. They
always slept it off, sooner or later, and
we had the fuss, until Tingman thrash
ed or threatened the poor children

When I had tho room tidied ] went
over to look at the child, TO see if she
was waking. One good, long look set
me to wondering. Where on earth had
Tingman apprenticed that child? If
there was ever a lady born, che was
one, with face of a little angel, long
golden curls, skin like lily, and the
least mites of hands and feet you ever
saw. She was very small; looked about
seven or eight years old, though as
knew afterward. she was past twelve
While l was looking at her, she woke
up, and | was sure then, if ] had not
been before, that she had been stolen.
Mamma" she cried, where are
you? Oh, mamma, come and take me
homel''~
q Tingman must have been listening,
for he came in before 1 had time to
speak, and the child shrank and shiv-
cred as she saw him.
''See here" he said, holding up a
great whip, ''the first time you say
mamma or home again I'll whip you
with this; and if you ever tell any body
where your home is I'll Kill you'll I'm
your father now, and this is your
mother, and Tingman's circus is your

She gave one little, bitter cry of ter
ror and tainted. Tingman looked rather
scared himself, but walked off
whistling. Screaming, crying children
we had had in plenty, but l never saw
one faint from terror alone before.
Well, ma'am, the training began the
next day, and Tingman found he'd got
to drop some of his old fashions or kill

Bloch and later Centralia man saw the
goods in his window. For receiving stolen
goods Bloch became entangled in the laws
meshes, and it cost him 81 900, SO it is said
by Mierow, to clear himself. Bloch vowed
revenge. So when Land, not knowing the
trouble he had caused the pawnbroker,
turned up with the goods stolen at Ia
coma Bloch seized upon the opportunity to
get even. He told Land to come around
in the evening with the goods and then he
went and notified the police. and when
Land did come he was arrested. He
offered only half of the stolen goods to
Bloch, the balance being traced TO and
found in his room.
Land will plead guilty to stealing
Mierow's jewelry.
