Of the antipathy Of most women to

ness. The curious thing about It Is
that a policeman, attracted by tho
commotion, recognized her as a daring
criminal, whose portrait was in the
rogue's gallery, and whose ohenses
against the law had been accompanied
by violence; she had been twice con-
victed of assaults with knife and
pistol. Yet this lawless and dangerous
virago collapsed at contact with a
mouse! Charles Reade, the novelist.
recognized the complete dissertation
between this shudderlng antipathy and
any feebleness of will or courage. In

DIAMONDS AT A DISCOUNT.

Gems Are Not tho Only Requisite Of
Success on stage.
Once there was a merry villager In
a solemn opera company who had as
piration to be a whole constellation all
by herself. She watched the starry
armament very carefully and noticed
that every star had plenteous collec-]
lions of jewelry and so many diamond
sunbursts that they got tanned wear1n
them. She forgot to remember that
all the stars had written testimonials
to patent medicines, and that the pic
ture Of one Of them or another went
with every bottle of tonic. She thought
all were stars who glittered and
straightway saved up her salary for
ten years and soon had q bureau
drawer full of kohinoors. She then
applied for q job on the strength Of
her gem museum. But the manager
asked her If her pictures were all over
the town recommending a new sort OF
nutritious puppy biscuit. Then she
sadly replied that 1t was not. He re-
piled: "You won't do. The diamonds
are all right, but we can't put them
on a billboard" Whereupon he blew
cigarette smoke through his nose,,
which signifed that the interview was
over.
