B. Det're from perhaps serious in jury on Friday evening. The acc'dent was unavoidable and unfortunate. Mrs. Dettre, with a num ber of other ladies, had intending go ing to the Outing Club, and had just stepped from a street car in front of the union depot, when Mr Gus Small turned to the left to avoid the car. He did not see Mrs. Dettre, nor did she see him, until it was too close to j avoid a collision. Mr. Small applied the brake and turned h s car to run it on the side walk, and Mrs. Dettre. in the confu sion, not knowing which way to turn, was knocked down by the au'o. Beyond a few bruises on her face, caused by falling on the gtone pave- question of wages. “The half-time girls, from 10 to 3, get $3.50 a week." she said, :'n answer to my question. ‘The three-quarter time-L6 to 3—get $5: and the full time —6 In the morning till 7:30 at night— gert $6.

To stand behind a ccunter from 6* in the morn'ng until 7:30 at night, thirteen and a half hours, almost :>e, to purchase some articles she wa? selling, samples of which she carried in a bag. While talking to the canvasser the express wagon came up and Mrs. Core left the room to receipt for a pack age. On returning to her room she found the young Cady about ready to depart, and this she did after a few words about the purchase. As soon as the young woman was gone out of the reom, Mrs. Core missed a little clock that she kept on the mantel. Instantly she caled the can-- vasser back and bluntly accued her of stealing the clock. The canvasser denied stoutly the charge, woereupon Mrs. Core demanded that she open the bag. Th's was- done, but ' there was- no sign of the clock, and she was al lowed to go. In talking to her neighbors about the occurrence, one of-them, Mrs. Min-- ter, said that the young woman had visited her house. a*ked for a drink cf water, and appeared very nervous. Th'nklng perhaps that some thing might be missing from her parlor when she had left the canvasser alone for a few minutes and made a hurried inspection. There was nathlng mis sing. but behind the picture was 3frs; Core's little clock. Then the officer was called. In a few minutes he found the young lady and saying noth’ng of the clock transaction he found that she v had no license to canvass or sell, and', because of her apoearance he gave her a summons to appear before the Rea corder on the charge of selling wl.th- otit a Hr. me, . .

He thought out his plan so well that the weight of the bogus gold was exactly the same as that of the specie removed from the bags, so that when these left his hands for the scales the theft was not detected.
