nor that the person whom she accost-
ed asking where to find the Gentry
shows was a detective. Mr. Phelan
was instructed to find Mrs. Harris
and her daughter, who had left their
home i'm Burlington. and detain them.
The husband told the police that his
wife had become enamored of one of
the Gentry show attaches-one
Randall-and might be found in his
company. Detective Phelan was at
the depot and saw the woman and
little girl step off the train. She
asked him to tell the location of the
Gentry shows. That clinched his
suspicious. He knew that she was
the woman he was seeking. and invit-
ed her to accompany him, saying
that he would show her where to go.
The lady did not know that he was a
detective until she found herself at
the house of detention. She was very
repentant when later in the night her
husband came. She asked his for
giveness. and he accorded it. Differ
ences were adjusted, and the party
left for home. The woman had rep
resented that she was going to Peoria

doing she came here to meet the man
who had infatuated her.

may be their nature. and
thousands are still suffering.
From the time they enter upon real
