Be Heroine of the Type She Saw in the

the bandit slipped away-to Jackson
vile, where she was easily traced. The
baby was born, only to die in five
days. 1t had been stirring beneath
the heart of the 20-year-old girl while
she stood gun in hand in the numer-
Gus episodes of her brief criminal ca
reer.
The eugenists say it is a good thing
the baby died: that with such pre-
natal influences it could not have
been a good citizen. But nevertheless
it was the baby which brought the
closing chapter to the bobbed hair
thriller. The police had been able to
do absolutely nothing toward checking
the exploits of the girl and her hus-
band until the telltalcs of approach
ing motherhood entered the picture.
Now there is much mawkish senti-
ment about the girl. One touch of
nature makes the whole world kin
and one touch lof motherhood brings
great tenderness into the human heart
Yet the detectives say the girl has
been dry eyed throughout her recent
ordeal, has seldom spoken OF the baby
exceptsto say that she wanted II give
it a decent birth and start in life. and
that her thoughts have been on a
trip to the circus rather than any
higher things.

There is not much romance to the

above all is rcgretful that her own

be ended. The girl is not even n

weak.
