and discovered what at first was
thought to be two kids padding in the

was Yves, we did" Thereupon the
officers went into the culvert and
found two young men, one dressed in
overals and a shirt at one past time

pants and no coat.
The officers recognized one of the
men as young fellow known around
town as William Johnson, who had
frequently come under the knowledge
of the officers in the past.
He had been in the past sent tc
different reform schools but had al
ways managed go escape. The other
man was not known to the officers.

was staged under the direction of
Mrs. Dennis Donovan. The cast was
made up entirely of the ladies from
st. Mary's parish and to say that they
did themselves proud would be put
ting it mildly The stage settings
were unique and very well contrasted.
Mrs. Reynolds who had advertised for
kleptomaniacs and who at all times
was able to keep her audience inter-
ested, was portrayed by Miss Mar
garet Dunn. Miss Inez Wright a
sympathetic friend" who was always
there in time of need, was imperson-
ated by Mrs. Harriet Wright. Glare
Reynolds, a real kleptomaniac and
who was a source Of great amuse-
ment, was taken by Miss Beatrice
Coughlin. She who "does finger nail
and facial massage" Mrs. Thaddeus
Lynch, was in the person of Miss
Margaret Callinan. Bridget DeFlan-
nagan. a kleptomaniac. who could
trace her ancestry far back and who
was a scream whenever she made her
appearance, was most excellently
portrayed by Mrs. Dennis Donovan.
Mrs. Margaret Cullinan as Crocus
Washington Jones, also a klepto-
maniac. did her part in keeping
everyone in good hufnor provoking
roars of laughter on more than one
occasion. Mrs. William J. O'Connor
as Madam Toilette who, had hoped
to be the widow of ten men but who
had only succeeded once, reflected
much credit upon her ability in the
comedy line. Jennie A. March, zone
who doesn't like spiriting." was quite
ably impersonated by Mrs. Hannah
White. Canue Bison. De flying angle.
whose renditions could not have been
improved upon, was Mrs. Frank
Wright.
The costumes were in keeping with
the times and environments of the
characters and the comedy proved to
be most amusing. The ladies are to
be congratulated upon their success.
The festivities will conclude with
q grand get-together tonight at
which time there will be a musical
program and general good time.
