picking


pockets and shoplifting.
When she was twenty-five she
married Robert Goldman, and,
as with her father, the less said
about Goldman the better.
Doubtless Goldman loved her
for a while. She bore him two
children. She was happy. She
was not compelled to be thief.
Then Goldman tired of her,
and of the two little babies, and
deserted her.
She had no one to turn to for
help; and she knew only one way
of making enough money to keep
herself and her babies. (This
really should have been put "of
keeping her babies and herself"
because in her eyes the babies
were much more important than
Theresa Goldman. Probably this
was quite wrong of her; prob
ably, being a tibet, she ought not
to have loved her chi1dren-but
she did, and was ready to go
through all things for their sake.
So she went back to thieving
again, and in due time she was
caught and "sent up the river" to
do penance, after the fashion in
which civilized society makes
mothers who steal for their chill
dren do penance.
But before going up the river,
the woman thief made arrange
ments for the care of her babies
while she was gone.
When she was released, the bit

and she became a much more
clever thief than she had been be-
fore.
She became rich and prosper
Gus from her thieving and was
able to give her babies all that
babies need or want.
But the law of compensation,
as the philosophers call it, is very
exact, and in 1909 she was again
caught, and caught with the.
goods.
She was taken before Judge
Mulqueen, of New York, who, be-
sides being judge, is a human
being.
Mrs. Goldman told Judge Null
queen her story, and because
Judge Mulqueen is human be-
ing, hewas touched by it.
So, instead of sending Mrs.
Goldmah>up the river again, Null
queen said to her:
'You are doubtless guilty, but
l think you have some excuse. I
am going to sentence you, but
after sentencing you I am going
to suspend the sentence on con-
dition you get out of the country
for while.
'You have made money. Go
to Europe; stay there for while;'
then come back and live straight
and it will be all right"
So Mrs. Goldman took herself
and her babies on a trip to Eu-
rope. At the end of six monthsi
she came back, and decided to-

DANGEROUS Story.

A Yale undergraduate has been hav-
ing fairly lively time of it during his
summer vacation and when the allow
ance has not been keeping schedule
time.
He was invited out to dinner with
his mother, and he was seen to get
bit nervous when she began one of her
favorite stories. This concerned the
burning of their home, on which occa-
sion the sons watch. left on bureau,
was found ticking In the ruins after
the house had been destroyed.
At the conclusion of the story the
college boy jumped up abruptly and
left the room with his handkerchief
over his face as If suddenly seized
with nosebleed He did not return
for several minutes, by which time
the conversation drifted.
After dinner the 'undergrads" chum
asked the significance of the move.
"I'll tell you. but nobody else," said
he. when mother told that story
was afraid she was going to ask me
