Years-Ser Secret from Friends.
[BY TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUNE.l


Atlantic Cftv N J. Aug. 3.-One of the most
remarkable cases Of deception OF sex came to
light to-day when Captain of Police Maxwell

band OF juvenile thieves. was girl In COM
pany with two boys. whose ages are not over
fifteen years. this girl was arrested three days
ago for robbing a little store on the Penrose

day, and previous to taking her before Judge

WELL who discovered her sex She stated that
she was Ada Parker. twelve years old, the
daughter of Frank Parker, a bayman Inc shi
said that she had been passing for boy for the
last three years. She formerly lived in Newark
Her mother died three years ago. and she ana
her father started TO tramp to this city Oh
the way they passed a couple of girls who were
dressed in Overalls. Her father thought 1T would
be a good idea to dress his daughter in the same
garment She graduated from overalls to short
trousers. which she has been wearing for over
two wears Her hair was cut short. and ever
since she changed her garments she has passed
as a boy.
All this time the girl was the leader OF the
Juvenile band When her boy companions were
told to-day that their leader was a girl they
wouId not at first believe the story. She was
sent by Judge Hgbie to the Reform School for
Girls at Trenton. Before her departure she
