A NEW ORLEANS SENSATION.
Alleged Hotel Thieves Arrested
With Booty Charge Claimant with
being a Thief.

New Orleans. Jan. 15.-George 1.
Kline of st. Louis and Robert L. West
of Cincinnati were arrested across the
river this morning charged with rob
bling the trunk of 7. e. Manners of

Charles. paid the bills and left with
the baggage. They crossed the river in
a skin and were caught before the
train came, on which they expected to
leave, through the watchfulness of
newsboy who had read the story in
the newspapers.
Later in the day Manners went over
to identify the property and Kline ac-
cused him of being thief under an
alias. AS the whole affair had sus-
picious appearance Manners was also
arrested. The police believe he might
be Kerns the New York jewelry thief,
and Chief of Detectives Titus OF New
York sent a telegram here which
strengthens the idea. Manners claims
that he is with his father in the pawn
brokerage business at Chicago and the
jewelry taken was unredeemed pledges
he had been trying to dispose of Fifty
diamond pins, a gold watch, a dia-
mond brooch and some pearls are in
the lot.
Chicago Denies Manners.
Chicago, Jan. 15.-There is no pawn
broken in this city named Manners and
the officials at police headquarters de-
clare that they do not recall any pawn
broker of that name. According to the
city directory there are only three men
named Manners in Chicago. One is a
painter, one a laborer and a third a
janitor.

l always hated Hyla White Not be-
cause of her beauty; on the contrary,
adore beauty, and ] forgave her many
things for the sake Of her pretty face
There was mucn to forgive; she had
done me evil and not good. from the
time, when we were children, that she
had come into my life.
Hyla was the only child OF my mothers
only brother, an officer in the navy, lost
at sea when Hyla was little more than
baby. His widow married again after
barely decent interval, and the stepfather
took a violent aversion to the little girl
So Hyla came to live with US, the only
relations who were willing and able to
have her.
Never were two cousins more unlike
than she and /. In person Hyla closely
resembled my beautiful mother; [ was
like my fathers family Brought up with
boys from my babyhood, 1 was a romp
and a tomboy at ten years of age; Hyla,
at eight was, so my mother said, a per-
feet little lady
"If only Anne were more line Hyla,"
she sighed over and over, after >my
various escapades, never dreaming how
often my mischief was suggested by her
model, who was the veriest little coward
that ever breathed. When Hyla would
have fish she was apt TO seek some one
else to wet their feet in pursuit of it,
My father Always stood my friend
''Let the child alGne," he used to say.
Let her be herself and once, when he
found me sobDing alone in a corner,
after an unusually severe lecture upon
my own shortcomings and Hyla's perfec-
tions, he kissed me and comforted me
with:

After that 1 tried hard to be gentler

to be like Hyla.

times l was punished for misdeeds which
Hyla would not acknowledge, and 1 was
too proud to charge her with
"Anne never tells tales" said the
boys, and truly never did, whatever my
silence might cost me.
AT school it was the same story. I
carried Hyla through many rough places,
shielding her again and again. 1 refused
to write her exercises or to do her ex-
amples, but / knew that she copied
mine, as soon as my back was turned,
and more than once was obliged to re-
write a theme because the one I had
prepared was missing. Upon such oc-
casions Hyla invariably had credit marks
for hers.
There was one person upon whom Hy-
has winning ways had no effect. Aunt
Thornton, my fathers widowed sister,

love for Hyla. found her a veritable
fairy godmother, and as a child I made
many delightful visits to her beautiful
city home, but Hyla accompanied me
only once. Then Aunt Thornton detect
ed her in a petty theft, which she at
tempted to hide by falsehood and
promptly took her home.

of child who does not speak the truth
she said to my mother, and in spite of
mammals entreaties, and 1 imagine
scarcely concealed indignation at her
harshness, she positively refused to al
low Hyla to visit her again.

honesty" Aunt Thornton used to say
The dear soul never dreamed how much

strengthened mine.
It was not until Hyla and were both
women grown, that together, once more,
we visited Aunt Thornton. Even then

that l should go alone, but my mother

WEAR LONGER SKIRTS
ST. PAUL WOMEN APPEAR TO HAVE
TIRED OF SHORT LENGTH
DRESSES
"A wHIM OF DAME FASHION
Expensive Garments for Street Wear
Are All Full Length This
Spring-TaIIxs with
DreSsmakers.

According to many dressmakers and
not a few of the salesWomen at the
heads of the ready-made clothing de-
partments in the various stores, st. Paul
women intend to abandon the short skirt
for street wear this spring and sum-
mer. Said a wOman's tailor the other
day: THE orders that we have had for
spring suits call in every case for full
length skirts with short trains. No order
has been given so far for a pedestrian
skirt. None Of our customers has given
any reason for this lengthening of street
skirts, but I presume it's just one of
fashions whims. A saleSwoman inter-
viewed said: Many St. Paul girls are
buying inexpensive pedestrian skirts for
rainy weather but the more expensive
skirts are full length. 1 asked one of
our customers the other day why it
was that she did not intend to wear a
short skirt of street wear this spring.
She answered that there was no such
thing as really short skirt. Inat the
skirts generally worn and by courtesy
called short We're not any more con-
venient than the really long skirt. In
the first place, she said, unless the skirt
was short enough to reach the shoe tops
or little below it was only a nuisance.
Depending on its being a short skirt, one
forgets to hold it up when walking down
hill or over muUdy pavements, with the
result that the bottom of the skirt was
dirty and the shoes a sight. 1 think in
the futurs" added the saleswo1nan,
skirts must be very much shorter or
longer"
One result of the short skirt fad or
fashion in st. Paul has been that patron
age by women of the down town shoe
SHINING rooms. A few years ago the
average woman would have shuddered
at the idea of entering one of those con-
Venient rooms to have her shoes pol
1shed, but the short skirt has swept
away her prejudice as effectually as the
