No, | not bere (defiantly). Keerse (vigorously)—Well, if you are too high toned to work, then you had better go up st again to your cell.’ Mary walked up stairs with an effort, and looked backs vengeluily at the keeper, who, notwithsiapd- ing the heat, seemed as placid as Lake George on i a snmme?’s evening.

This is a gitl who has ' been arrested for stopping men in the street at | night. Having been warned by the police, she per- | sisted in following up her trade of misery and shame. She is simply attired, and the folds of her | light drapery fall around her figure in correct and graceful lines.
