"A woman shower. for example,

stores. Her dress is quiet. but elegant
and she has the surface appearance OF
refined lady In her hand is pocket

number of good ones. She goes into 3
store. makes some trifing purchases,
tenders the counterfeit and pockets the
change. As she passes out she brush
es against a boy. who slips her anotl-
er queer bin and then drops back a
few PAGES in the crowd.
In that way she makes the rounds.

she empties her pOcketbook on the
counter and asks the clerk TO examine
the money anu see whether it is all

"In % cases out of 100 that disarms
suspicion at once. If she happens to
be arrested. only one bin is found in
her possession. and there is nothing to

the boy who carries the roll quietly
disappears. Often he sells newspapers

they think it is expected of them;
but their eyes do not light up, the
color does not come into their cheeks,
their bosoms do not swell with emo

worn out, they have gone through too
much, and even music cannot move
them. They really are to be pitied.
In the highest gallery sit men and

music than these people. They get
delight; and of delight those who
have too much are soon incapable.
