4 CRIMINAL FOR HER BABES.
Continued from Eighth Page.

she should do everything for him, even
TO the support of himself and his children.
He would drive her from the house with
curses and tell her that she must go out
into the streets and make some money,
it mattered not to him now, but made it
must and should be and brought back
to him. 1t was In extremites such as
this that she had been driven to crime
and her success only increased his greed
and his insistance that she should con-
tinue. So, from time to time, to feed her
children and to prevent her husbands
wrath or a darker fate, she had stopped
to criminal deception. AS she told the
story the babe looked up with smile
from its mothers lap and cooed delighted
ly. In the whole room there was scarcely
a dry eye.
The ladies of the Kings Daughters at
last consented to forgive and forget her
offense and to furnish her with trans
portation to Charleston, from which place
she said she came and where some of her
people still reside and with whatever
means were necessary to assist her in
leading a new and better life She prom
ised tearfully that she would do so and
with apparent gratitude thanked the kind
ly women who had forgiven her so much
and given their assistance in her effort
to reform. She left the barracks with
her babies and her friends.
The woman is not yet 20 years old and
remarkably pretty. She has been so de
scribed by those whom she has deceived
and whose money she had taken. one of
these gentlemen saying that he found it
hard to resist the plausible tale that she
told, and that though he had been warned
against her, he had listened to her expla-
nations and given second time. Indeed.
she would have been captured long ago
had her victims consented TO give evil
dence against her. As it is she has con-
tinued a career of open crime for a long
er period than has probably ever been
known in a city The size of Savannah,
where throughout all these months she
has lived and been comparatively well
known.

"THE wAGER1 AND ~sUNsErY
Young Ladies' and Gentlemen Enter
tanned Well at the Theater.

Ialheu wen At the Theater.
In everything except point of attendance
on the performance at the theater last
night for the benefit of the Y. NJ II. A.,
was all that could have been expected.
Rain was threatened, and that had much
to do with reducing the audience. Many
more tickets had been sold than the at
tendance indicated, and the purpose for
which the entertainment was given, there
fore did not suffer. The only losers were
those who bought tickets and did not
claim their seats, for the work of the
young amateurs, who took part was ex-
cellent and won applause.
The principal pieca was Sunset" by
Jerome X. Jerome, whose faele pen has
given opportunity in The play for show
of deep feeling, as well as an almost con-
slant run of laugh-provoking persihage.
Preceding Sunset" however, was a cur
tain raiser, The Wager" in which Miss
Selg and Mr.. j. M Dreyer took part
Miss Selig has much talent as an actress,
and her rendition of the lines from
Romeo and Juliet" that fell to her in the
farce, were received with applause that
betokeued the appreciation of the audi
ence. Mr.. Dreyer's makeup was good
and his impersonation of a heavy TRACE
dian excellent. The curtain was raised
after its fall upon the conclusion of THE
Wager" the audience insisting upon a
temperance of the two characters.
Six persons formed the cast for Sun
set" which was as follows: Lois, Miss
Selg; Joan, Miss Edith Robinson; the
maiden aunt Miss Bessie Krauss; Mr..
Rivers, Mr.. Hugo Frank; Lawrence, Mr..
Alfred Stern; Isaiah Stagg, Mr.. j. M.
Dreyer. The play is essentially made up
of the parts of Lois and Joan, and Misses
Selig and Robinson portrayed the charac-
ters with greater success than has been
seen in Savannah, though Sunset" has
been given several times by amateurs.
Miss Selig's part demanded more of the
emotional in her acting than did that of
Miss Robinson's. The latter was exceed
ingly clever and natural, and her stage
manners would have done no dscredit to
the reputation of a professional leading
woman. With her in the ingenue role and
Miss Selig the emotional, their part OF
the cast was we'll provided for.
Miss Krauss had no such opportunity
as did Miss Selig and Miss Robinson, hel
appearance on the stage being but brief.
1t was of sufficient duration, however, TO
show the wisdom that had cast her for
the part of the maiden aunt Her cos
tune was irreproachable, being in admir-
able keeping with The character. The
gentlemen were good in their parts Mr..
Dreyer as the pumpkin Stage eliciting
many laughs. Several floral tributes tes-
tilted to the interest certain persons in the
audience felt in the young ladies WHO
graced the stage.
The proceeds of the entertainment arc
to be devoted to the purchase OF suitable
material for the Enlistment of a GYM
nasium for young ladies' next winter.

The sports are betting right along. Some
