PAID DEARLY FOR CAUTION.
Woman's Distaste for Publicity Cosi
Purse and Handbag.

For years Mrs. Storey's life had
day she might be called upon to serve
as witness in court. Her grand.
mother was a witness once, and when
Mrs. Storey was a little girl she used
to hear all about it, Grandma, it ap-
pears. had been so scared she couldn't
tell the judge her own name.
And" said Mrs. Storey to her hus-
band, "if there is anything more dis
graceful than to be unable to tell
your own name, I'd Tike to know what
it is"
In order to reduce the possibilities
OF such a calamity to a minimum,
Mrs. Storey would walk on with deaf
ened ears and averted head whenever
she happened to be near fire, fight
or the scene of an accident. Only the
other day she had occasion to shut
her eyes and ears to the seething
world about her, She was waiting in
the Grand Central station for Mr.
Storey who had gone around to the
baggage room to check trunk
Presently she became aware that
something exciting was happening
close beside her Hastily she shut
her eyes and stuck her fingers into
her ears, but before these protective
measures could be accomplished she
learned that a female thief had
snatched a handbag which she had
found lying on the floor, and was be-
ing pursued by an excited crowd. Not
being entirely devoid of the curiosity
of her sex, Mrs. Storey would have
liked to know more. but the old fear
of being detained as a witness held
her inert unit her husbands return,
Then she ventured to ask If they had
caught the thief.
Yes said Mr.. Storey. but they
couldn't do anything with her. Ev.
eryone was confident the bag didn't
belong to her. but as nobody appeared
to claim it the policeman had to let
her go"
At that Mrs. Storey opened her
eyes. Il am so giad." she said, that
it Is all over. | am ready to go now.
Butch, dear me, where are my purse
and handbag? l had them here a
moment ago! They must have

Paid Dear for Her Popularity.

A Tokyo paper prints the story Of
a 12-year-old Japanese girl whose de.
sire for popularity among her play
mates got her into difficulty. The
Uncle Of the child was a candy mer-
cha1t who from time to time missed
cash from his drawer until nearly $50
was gone. A patent catch on the till
stopped the losses. A few weeks
later, however, he was astonished to
find his little neice in the custody of
the police on the charge of burglary.
The child had got into the habit of
giving small coins from her allow
ance to her playmates for the sake of
popularity. She increased these
amounts gradually and then took to
Tobbing her uncle. This source of
revenue being shut off by the catch
on the money drawer, she took to
burglary.
