taken by the immigration inspectors

Mai. Sauvalle and his family. But
Mai. Sauvalle declared that the maid

world so cheerfully under the infiu-

that come under the eye of the police
matron are of women who have been
led to the passion for drink to drown
some sorrow, and many of them
women used to better ways of living
One day frail bit of a woman-a
mere girl--was brought to the station.
Her husband had got out warrant
for her and wanted to have her COM
mitted to some institution. Drink had
made terrible ravages in the woman's
appearance, and when the effects of
the whisky began to wear off she sat
in her cell clinging with her thin
hands to the bars and begging pitt
fully for drink. Toward dawn the
woman collapsed and hurry call
was sent to the hospital. The ambu-
lance surgeon on his arrival had only
time to kneel at her side and begin
his work before death closed upon
her.

Made Nursery of Station.

One day not long ago 14-year old
girl brought in a dirty little baby and
said the child was lost. The baby
spent the afternoon peaceably sleep
ing on the big quilt the matrons keep
for the purpose, and about five o'clock
a man came in and asked the matron:
Have you got for me a baby?"
The matron assured him that she
hoped it was for him, as sne was anxI-
GUS to turn the infant over to some
body. The baby was properly identi-
fed and the man started off with it.

where his wife was that she had left

She had gone out, the man answered.
and she had telephoned to him at his
place Of work over in Manhattan to
call at the police station on his way
home to get the babe. The man was
told very plainly that the next time
his wife wanted to go shopping she
was not to send her baby to the police

"shopIifter" a Puzzle.

The shoplifter is often the puzzle
to the matron of the Adams street
station. They come in great numbers
from the poor. shabby woman, who
has stolen a few pairs of socks. or a
little frock for her baby. whom she
longs to have dressed like the babies
of her well-to-do neighbors, to the
woman of apparent wealth, who has
secreted some seemingly useless trifie.
One woman, faultlessly gowned and
of undoubted culture and good breed
ing, who offered $500 not to be made
to sleep In cell had been arrested
for taking three pairs of 69-cent
gloves. She was indignant at her ar
rest, but she didn't deny the theft,
merely offered to pay for the gloves
That was case out of many such
that Mrs. Boylan recalls from her ex
periences at the Adams street sta
ton, one of the things no one can ex-
plain. They call it kleptomania with
the rich and thievery with the poor,
who, at least, have the prick of neces-
sity to lend palliation to their guilt.
These are the ordinary happenings
in the life Of the police matron. Their
days and nights are a ceaseless round
of watching the intoxicated, of stand
ing by to keep the suicide from her
intention, of dressing the woman with
delirium tremens, who tears her
clothes to shreds in the night, of hear
ing over and over the stories Of
wretchedness and misery and deprsr~
ity.
