JkiiiHha Khloonitr, w ijbo utood before * rnkrAi/ifc AhuAi|i)jnr>ftJ>aftiAout of a Now York hotoL “Anil" she continued, after ebe had imr vovod her person to her entire satiafaotion, “rvo put my jewelry and my iflcgiint lnoo kliiivfl where thieves' won't get ’em. I've hennl toll a score of times of hotel thieves, mid they do say a pound of prevention no tit’s nil oiltlcc—is better fhnn a pound of euro—so I’m not goiu’ to leave my fixings behind me to he stolen. If .Terushy Hol comb never Ims been fifty miles from hum till now she knows a thing ortho two, and slie’s mit goiu’ to he taken in by New York burglars, I kind of reckon. ” Having ended her soliloquy, Mrs. Jeru ului Holcomb, of Winfield, Mass., pranced out of the room and down the hotel stairs with all the fuss and feathers of the proud est of belief, .' - For forty summers Miss Jurusha Noble pined and languished for a lover, had al most given up the hope of securing one, t hen widower Holcomb suddenly proposed Sml, soon after that important epoch in Lor life, Jtirosha Noble bacamo his wifo. Mrs, Jernsha was tall and angular and slim, reminding one greatly of a bean-pole. Corkscrew ourls adorned her bead in front, ■while a large waterfall fearfully and won derfully made -graced it at the back, which aforsnid waterfall was highly orna mented with flowing curls, just three shades lighter than those in front. Her hut was in the then prevailing style, girlish looking as a bride's should be, with gar nishing* of grapes, cherries,a few roses and daisies, by way of contrast, you know, a feather, anil streamers of bright scarlet ribbon. A broach shaivl of the most gnmly colors, green merino dress, and lavender kids, completed her toilet on the day wo made her acquaintance. Mr. and Mrs. H. had oomo to New York on their bridal tour, or “tower,” a- 1 ) she was in the habit of pronouncing it, and had resolved to indulge for a short time in the dissipations of city life. Ou the day iu question Mr. H. had gone down to at tend to a little business affair, and his bet ter-half tiuding time heavy on her hands, resolved to take a stroll on Broadway, and do some shopping without buying anything, us sho had been told that was “quite the thing,” She rambled ftloilg, certain she was Do ing gazed at, and that her appearance called forth the admiration of all who noticed her, with all the elasticity of youth. “Nbff who’d think I was horn and bred in the country !" she Soliloquized. “No body, I’m suro. How envious all the gals ip Winfield would he if they could but see mo now ! Why I’m a walking picture.” “I wonder what that ’ere man stares at me for ? Guess ho wants to flirt. No, I won’t flirt, though it's a great temptation when such a handsome man casts admirin’ glances at you, and if Burt should happen to be cornin’ this way and ketch me, he'd be jealous and take me right back to Will field. I guess I’ll go iu this 'ere Btore and price some goods.” Accordingly she forthwith entered a dry goo,ls palace, made the clerk,, show her various articles, and finished by purchas ing a skein of silk. “I swow tew gracious 1 there’s that lovely man and he’s been a waitin' for mo to come out of the store. Guess I've in fatuated him,” she concluded, with an air of cm a i ms pride. “Yop'ro takin' liberties, sir. You’re mistaken iu the purson,” she said,sharply, as the man that attracted her attention spoke to her. “Now, that won’t do, old gal,” he said. "Ton can't play that oomitry game on me. I'm too old a hand nt the biz for that. I see it plainly sticking out from un der your dross, so you had better oorne quietly along to headquarters, and make no fuss.” "How dan l yon call mo old gal 1” cried Mrs, Jeruslia, indignantly. “See wliat Mtiekin' out from under my dress ? Ain't you ftshnnied to talk to a Indy in that man ner ? I’ll screech if you come near me, you wretch !” *‘l tell you,” the man reiterated, “you can’t play that dodge on rfTV; so come along. ” Mrs. Jeruslia Holcomb cried, and yelled, and struggled, but without avail, for he eatight her by the arm and hurried her aloug through the streets till they came to a station-house, into which her captor dragged her, aud Mi’s. Jurusha found her self iu the presence of the presiding official clad in blue cloth with brass buttons. “What have you got there, Smith,?” the official asked. “She’s been ‘lifting’ goods, and she’s been trying to play the country dodge ou me, but it was no go.” "Well, take her inside. Smith, ami let the women search her,” the official re sponded. “I won’t go inside and be searched,” shrieked Mrs. Jerusliu, “and don’t roil dare to put your profane hands on ms neither, or I’ll scratch your eyes out, you wretch. ” “Just take that shawl from out of your bustle, then, and stop your gab, for you’re caught, aud don’t make a rumpus. You won’t ? Then I’ll do it for you,” said the detective, for such was the man’s profes sion. “Let go of me, you nasty man !” cried Mrs. Jomsha, as he placed his hands upon her. “How dare yon be so indelieute, you wretch ! I'll hare my Burt give you a good lickin’ for this, see if I don’t! * Give me baok my laoe shawl,you horrid villianl” Aud thus Mrs. Jeruslia went ou, when he had taken the shawl from its hiding place. “She plays off niooly, dosen’t she, Smith ? Those bustles are handy things,” said the official "I have never seen her before,” Smith replied. “Somewheres from out of town,l suppose. She’s a flirt-class gonof at any rate.”' “O, you blackguards! you wretches! I am no gonof; I am an innocent, guileless young bride,” she shrieked. ‘‘lndeed 1 A lie d‘by-looking yonngbride, to be sure," said the official, bursting into a fit of laughter, “Hut Smith, she’s got something hid den In her Waterfall. I sec gold sparkling among the rats and mice. “dome take off that waterfall,*’ said Smith. “It’s all my own lmlr, and it won’t come off,” Mrs. Jernslm cried, “O, I shall die under this horrible treatment. O, my dear Hurt, why are you not hero to protect me from those wretches. Ah, don’t tear my scalp off!" she shrieked, at the detective, with one Jerk, pulled the waterfall from her head. “She’s got ft whole jewelry storo in hero,” said Smith, ns ho drew from the middle of the mass of hair sundry articles of jew elry. “010101 I was never so liondlod in all of my born dnys, and I’ll never come to this horrid city again. That Jorushy Holcomb should be treated in this manner. O, it’s terrible.” And tliejpoor, tried feel ings of Mrs. Jorushy gave way, anil she hurst into tears. “Now, Smith,” said the official, thought fully, “I've been thinking within the last couple of minutes that yon’vo made a mis take this time. Slic'd have acknowledged it if she was u professional, it seems to me, and confessed her thieving." “I don’t think so, Cap, but you can question bar, and find ont. ” “What’s your name, and where do yon. oorne from the ofllciftl asked. "Jerusby Holcomb, and I livo in Win field; and when I get back there I will never leave it again,” sho replied, with her eyes full of tears. "Are you a thief ?" he ngain asked. She was all indignatimi now, uml almost sprang over the railing that separated her from him, in her excitement. "A thief 1 Jorushy Holcomb ft thief? I never told a lie in my life, much raorebe ing a thief. O 1 O ! O I” and again she be gan to weep. Hy degrees they managed to get the in formation from her that she was stopping, with her husband, at the Htilwell House, anil the official immediately sent a police man to the hotel, to see if she was tolling the truth. “I think I have made a mistake,” said Smith, when the messenger hud gone on his errand. “I say. Mrs., what did you put those thiugs in such queer places for V” “I was afraid hotel thieves would steal ’em, so I put them where I thought they would be safe,” she replied, more calmly than before, the detective having explained to her that he had taken her for a “shop lifter.” Mr. Burt Holcomb soon arrived, and convinced the official bcyoml doubt that she was his wife, ami that she was an in nocent country liuly. Mrs. Jernsha wept hysterically upon her husband’s breast as she told the story of her woes and the insults she lmd been subjected to, and when sho was sufficiently calm, together they left for their hotel. Mrs. Jurusha Holcomb, with her hus band, left for Winfield the next morning, thoroughly disgusted with New York city; and her ad venture made her a wiser, if not a sadder, woman.
