young woman Is or 10 years of age on
a charge of vagrancy. The girl ran
away with some fellow from her home
in neighboring county on the prece1-
ing day He is a thrifty scoundrel, and
at once set about making some money.
He took the girl to a Chinatown den
where she was induced to consort with
an indefinite number of dirty Mongols.
The girls father followed the pair to
this city and yesterday shS~was re-
stored to her parent in a somewhat
dilapidated condition, but the fiend who
brought her here managed to escape.
She is a good-looking country girl, and
her one-night experience in Chinatown
has dissipated all the desire she former
ly had Of seeing something of the world
outside her humble home. Now she
wants to back again.

Priceless Vision.

The eye is one of the organs most Ii
able to render life a miserable failure
and a loathsome burden. Loss of sight
is the very king of terrors, while any
impairment of vision is a source of
CHASTITY anxiety, of constant dread, of
slckening mental worry, to say never a
word of acute physical anguish. Again,
think of what a delicate organ the eye
is, and how essential it is to have
glasses fitted correctly. There is just as
much science required in fitting glasses
as there is in prescribing medicine
