KOKOMO, July ,29.-SheriR Lindley.
was called upon some time ago by q
poorly dressed couple. who had q ten
year-old girl with them. They said the
child was Vera Whitaker. whose moth
er died four years ago. ana whose IA
Their had disappeared two years later.
They had taken care of her until slen-
der means would no longer allow them
to do so. and they hoped to ind home
for her.
Sheriff Lindley was struck with sym
pathy. He took her into the county
Jail and caused public notice &c be given
that she would be disposed of to the
highest bidder
Applications began TO pour In, most
Of them of a flattering character. and
some Of them not so desira ole. But

The little girl was happy IN her new
home, with two dogs. the hens and their
chickens and the animated farm scenes.
But after she was taken TO her new
home her heart turned 20 one love which
she could not relinquish. She longed
and pinned for the big doll she had left
at the sherins house. II was doll as
big as her little self and one OF the kind
that goes to sleep.
So big-hearted William Carter came
back with her 70 the city TO get her
doll. and she left the Carter home with
a kiss from the lips of grandmother

In the big. roomy farmhouse the little
child dreams OF the happy future which
lies before her now that she has found

In, but. with a child's melancholy. she
can't help but wonder what keeps her
real papa away.

prize criminal in the stage adven-
lures of Sherlock Holmes is. of course,
MOriarity, with whom Holmes fights.
One of the plays that failed this year
was THE Society Policeman in
which Guy Standing starred, while
"A Social Highwayman' has been
success for several years. In it the
two Holland brothers, Joseph and +.
NJ, made one of their greatest joint
successes. f. NJ. Holland earlier play
ed the detective in Jim the Penman,'
one of the greatest melodramas ever
written. Another great play which has
crime and criminals as its principal
factors is The Ticket of Leave Man.,
in which there is introduced the great
detective Hawkshaw.
There is plenty of villainy in The
Silver King" which comes pretty
close to greatness as a play, and that
play is poor indeed in which there are
not papers to be Stolen.
Clyde Fitch has handled much stage
crime. Possibly his most powerful pas
sages in connection with it were those
in which Frank Worthins as the I'M
worthy husband in 1.-The Climbers
confessed in the dark that he had COM
mitted embeZZlement. This is one OF
the favOrite stage crimes. The remorse
following murder was graphically de-
picted in THE Bells" in which Henry
Irving used to play Matthias with such
force and feeling as almost to make
the blood run cold. Much murder is
committed in the works of Shakespeare
and in those of other tragic writer's.
Forgery has been committed on the
stage thousands of times. 1t was
committed with trimmings in line
Coward" the play which George II.
Broadhurst put on at McVicker's thea
ter in Chicago last summer. Inc
innocent man who was accused of for
gery stands up in the courtroom and
takes all the blame.
1t is a crime as unromantic as horse
stealing that is committed in 1.-The VIZ
ginian." The offense Of shooting With
in the city limits is also committed IN
the last act. in which the Virglnlan
shoots and kills Trampas, the bad man
Of the play. That act in The Virgin
