WHO Is THE GIRL
From Merriam Hill Who Lost Her
Mothers Pint


The Minneapolis Tribune Yesterday
published this. 1t must be true be-
cause the paper says 1t is:
rms Is true story and points to a moral,
Dut Tor the sake Of any dignifed chaperon
VINO chances to read these lines the moral will
remain unsaid.
There lives on Merriam hill in St. Paul
demure little miss with the most roguish,
sparkling black eyes imaginable. She has
lots OF other good points too but the ewes
cut the most figure in this case and the
description may go at that. One day in No
Vember she stole away from her home over
Iookklng the SANITY City. and in company
with girl friend came to Minneapolis to
Watcn big football game. Now her parents
oont like to have her go to Minneapolis
ana dld not know about it. She borrowed
her nlotners diamond stick pin for The after
noon. IL was very elegant diamond and
ner mamma told her to be careful not to
lose it. Therefore, she lost it at the foot
Dali game that her mamma didn't know she
was going to. This was bad and she tried
TO postpone the dreaded explanation as long
as possible by telling her mamma that she
wanted to keep the pin few DAYS longer
which was true Mamma thought II rather
strange but hum0red her pet for a few DAYS
WhlIe the angel child turned every trick she
discovery. 04N
On the afternoon of the football game. she
na ; gone into a Minneapolis jeweIry store
, MIN ner runaway companion, and, while
making purchase there, was conscious of
q very TALL handsome young man looking
closely at her. But the demure streak in
ner character is very strong and she care
Tully avoided meeting his gaze although
virtual, she was much pleased with his an
pearance However, as she passed out through
the door, the temptation was too strong and
she gave the handsome young man lust the
un1est quickest cutest modest little glance
you ever saw. That settled it with the Young
man. He saw her at the football gains and
round among his friends fellow who knew
her Early the next week. while the dear lit
Tie girl was IN the throes of the pending dis
asler over the discovery of the mystery Of
the diamond pin, the young man was brought
TO her house and properly introduced by the
convenient friend For certain reasons foot
Dali games seemed a clever and natural source
OF conversation.
BY the way" said the young lady, "do
you Know. L lost something at that gamer"
Bet on the wrong side?" queried the
worldly young man, pleasantly.
mo; oh, no. Not that but I lost a dia-
mond pin that belonged to my"
WHAT'S that!' exclaimed the young man
excltedly. Was 1t a white stone set in etc.,
etc.-?" ~ '
Yes, exactly; why, how did you"
But the young man was plunging fran
ideally i'll the lining Of his coat and with q
look OF triumphant inspiration on his face
drew forth the Identical diamond pin that
mad caused so much trouble He had found
It under the feet of the crowd at the Minne-
apoIs game.
Joy reigned supreme Mamma got her min.
the young man is "solid' and the moral

ticing to become an inmate Of a resort
conducted by her at Crookston Shortly
after the arrest of the Lamont woman
Chief SchweitZer telegraphed Chief Of
Police Gonyea, of Crookston, with re-
gard to her record, and asked him to
look up the girls supposed to have been
sent there from this city. Chief Con
yea wired back yesterday that he had
arrested two girls at the Lamont wo-
mans resort, and from the description
of one of them it is almost certain that
she is the missing Thomas girl
Mrs. Lamont spent portion Of yes
terday in consultation with an attor-
ney at the central police station but
refused to say anything for publication,
except that she had no knowledge Of
any girl by the name of Thomas. The
two hackmen, Wilson and Smith, ar
rested as accomplices Of the Lamont
woman, are still in custody, but main
tain that they had no knowledge Of the
woman's purposes in ST. Paul, and
acted innocently in any transactions
which they may have had with her.
