identified by ker father. and her strange
story made known Since her arrest last

said she lived in Mauch Chunk Her faith
er saw her story in the papers and came
here from that town yesterday.
The girl left home dressed in boys cloth

not badly treated there; she did lot have
a lover; she was not stage-struck; there
was no reason except that she was tired Of
the hum-drum life Of a small town and
wanted 10 see the world. She is a good
girl: she does not drink, she has all the
natural modesty Of a respectable girl, but
she loves adventure The meeting between
the girl and her father resuItd in her re-

wants TO stay here. Accordingly, the
United Charities viii get work for he OF
her adventures during the week she was
away from home she will tell nothing. Her
