the woman would have been robbed and,
perhaps, subjected to tho greatest indignitics
Mrs Brilton left her heme yesterday to
visit Pottsyille and concluded that the saving
of money in fare would warrant walking to
Frackville to make connection with the
train, as the distance to the Lehigh depot in
town was just as far, and she started too late
to catch a train at the Pennsylvania depot.
Mrs. Britton walked through Turkey Run
and then followed the public road that leads
down to Maizeville, or Flour Barrel as it
is commonly called. When half way down
the highway the woman was suddenly con-
ironted by young man who at once jumped
behind her and threw one Of his hands over
her face in such manner as to close her eyes
and press her nose and mouth in such a
manner that she could hardly breathe. The
other arm of the assaiant was thrown about
the woman's body.
As sson as Mrs. Britton realized her situa-
ton she summoned all her powers, and
succeeding in getting the ruGian's hand from
her mouth screamed for help. At the time
John Harbein and Richard Snyder, two
young men of town, were descending from
the top of the hill on their way to Mahanoy
Plane. Hearing the cries for help below
them they whipped up their horse. The
jingle of the sleigh bells frightened Mrs.
Britton's assailant. He let his victim go and
ran up the hill, passing the sleigh before the
occupants could grasp the situation.
As Harbein and Snyder drove around a
bend in the road they saw Mrs, Britton stand
ing in the middle of the road, gesticulating
wildly and pointing up the hill. The young
men in the sleigh learned the cause of the
excitement and drove up the road again, but
could get no trace of the fugative. They
Britton awaited them.
Upon their return the young men took
Mrs. Britton into their sleigh and drove on
to Maizevile. The woman then insisted
upon continuing her journey to Frackvillc
on foot and said she would not return to
Turkey Run until she could recover from the
shock and have the company of friends she
had at Fraclville
One Of the young men who went to Mrs
Brittons relief Mr.. Snyder said to-day
"The whole affair passed of so quickly and the
man ran past our sleigh so fast we barely
noticed him. He was a stout young man
clean shaven, and about five feet, six inches
high He was poorly dressed and dirty look
ing He wore a round, soft felt hat, leather
boots brown short coat fringed by wear al
the bottom and brown vest. His shirt ap
peared to be a blue flannel one and he wore
no collar or tie. Mrs. Britton told US the
man made repeated attempts to throw her t.
the ground and almost succeeded when hi,
attention was attracted by tue ringing of oul
sleigh bells"

All people have hobbies. Agnes Herndon,
who plays here shortly, has peculiar one
that of ordering duplicates of every pretty
pair of shoes she sees, and an exchange who
sent reporter to interview her the other
day, relates how he found her maid busy pre-.
pairing her costumes for the evenings per-
formance. The aforesaid maid was well up
in her business, and particularly in that
priceless gift for maid-namely, silence
when asked regarding things which should
not interest strangers. The maid wore a
smile on her face and had a dainty bronze
shoe in her hand, and the dressing room was
complete shoe store, large trunk having
just been emptied.
"Does Miss Herndon wear all these in the
play to.night?" was asked.
Heaven forbid" said the maid. "she
only wears four pairs, and one pair is parti-
cularly lovely. see!" And she held up a
pair-a delicate suede pink, low cut shoes.
These" she said, are made especially to
suit the pink Greek robe"
"What does Miss HerndOn do with so
mauy?' was asked
Gust keeps them-it's her hobby"
DO you keep any of the shoes mean"
And then the maid said "shew'-and he
