There Is a young actress In town just

Gently taken an unofficial ride In the
Black Maria 1t happened this way
Some months ago the actress was taken
I'll and had TO call In a trained nurse.
When she recovered, the nurse and the
actresses solitaire diamond ring made
their exit ON the same day Advertise
ments, rewards and threats Of exposure
proved OF no avail. The nurse and rlns
seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Months went by and finally one
morning the actress read a paragraph
In her morning newspaper which made
her sit up and take immediate notice
A trained nurse of the same name as
she who had eloped with her diamond
ring had robbed another patient OF
pearls and money and was 10 have
preliminary examination In the police
court that day.
The actress dressed burrledly and
made a bee line for the prison where
the trained nurse was confined. Just
as she reached there the prisoners were
being hustled out OF the building into
the Black Maria. Sure enough, with
out any difficulty the actress stopp ID
the nurse. She hurried over 10 her
and made an immediate demand for the
ring.
The nurse drew herself up haughtiy
with a sort OF who IL this person ?"
manner but seeing that the actress was
not to be triled with she was just about
to relax when a policeman seized the
actress by the arm and exclaimed
kindly enough:
Say, you can't stand here talking.
n this woman Is your sister. get into
the wagon with her and talk 1t out on
the way to court" she isn't my sis
ter blurted out the actress deter
mlnedly. But ! want to talk TO her
just the same. She stole my diamond
ring
Once inside the "hurry-up wagon"
the nurse turned TO her with look Of
mingled disappointment and astonish-
ment. Her feelings seemed TO be dis
tinctly hurt.
do you mean TO say that you came
all the way down here to talk to me at
time like this about q little thing
"a M. Ia tpnthtc
why I'm surprised at you, Miss -
always thought you was a lady even
though you was upon the stage For
answer the actress kept repeating,
while she thumped her cinched hand on
her knee TO leng her emphasis GIVE me
my ring. You give me my ring.
Drawing herself as far away from
the actress as the middle of the seat
would allow, the nurse surveyed her
again even more haughtily. DO you
mean to tell me that you would appear
in court against meme, VINO used TO
be so good to you and let you eat all
sorts OF things you hadn't ought 10
when you had the typhoid feverY
II most certainly do
"Oh. very well, then, In that case"
continued the nurse, still In superior
tone. as she began unbottoning her
glove" | guess III have to give II to
you" She handed the ring to the ac-
trcss just as they reached the police
court. There 1t is she exclaimed
still more icily. But when ] get out
OF this don't you never send for me to
nurse you again, because | should GER
