DR. LITE'S DILftflJlA.
" Dr. Lane, of Xiruton street, was one
day requested to call at a mansion in
one of the neighboring squares which
had' been let for the season to a Mr.
Overton, a wealthy Liverpool merchant.
This gentleman, who was a widower with
an only daughter, explained to the doc
tor then that, having had occasion to
speak sharply to the young lady, she had
barricaded herself in her room, and he
had seen nothing of her for two days.
Iler conduct caused him soma little un
easiness, as he was haunted with the
idea that she might be ill, and he had
therefore sent for a doctor in order to as
certain whether there was anything the
matter with her. He was careful to add
that he had not the slightest desire for a
reconciliation, unless his daughter chose
to apologize for certain ebullitions of
temper which she had exhibited.
Dr. Lane was rather amused by this
recital, which revealed that a trial of
temper and obstinacy was in progress
between father and daughter, in which
the latter seemed likely to come off vic
torious. He paid a visit to the rebel in
her stronghold, and was by no means
favorably impressed by her. She seemed
a very common-place young lady, with
awkward manners and afflicted with pain
ful shyness. She answered his ques
tions as briefly as possible, in a decidedly
Bulky tone, and showed so plainly that
she regarded his visit as an intrusion
that he bowed himself out with as little
delay as possible.
"You need not be alarmed about your
daughter," he said, when he rejoined Mr.
Overton down stairs; "there appears to
bo nothing the matter with her."
"All. temper, I suppose, then!" said
her father, evidently relieved in his
mind. v
"Not much else, as far as I can judge,"
said the doctor, feeling a little spiteful
toward the young lady. "There are
symptoms of nervous excitement, but
she will no doubt be all right in a day or
two."
"She can take her own time and keep
to her room as long as she likes, for all I
care," said Mr. Overton, with the air of a
Brutus.
Dr. Lane did not feel called upon to
reply to this observation, and at once
took his departure. Being a busy man
not given to think much of other peo
pie's affairs, he soon dismissed the Over
tons from his mind, and neither saw nor
heard anything more of them for some
time. But toward the close of the sea
son he happened to have looked in for an
hour at a crowded reception, when his
attention was directed by a lady with
whom he was talking to a remarkably
pretty girl, who had just entered.
4I she not charming?" said his com
panion. "She is a Miss Overton. Her
father is a millionaire, they say, and she,
being his only child, will therefore be
enormously rich."
When the doctor heard the name, he
, naturally looked at the young lady with
interest, the more especially as her ap
pearance was rather striking. He easily
recognized her as her father's child irom
tbe likeness, but after a brief scrutiny
he said to his neighbor:
"She has a sister, surely?" o
. VI believe not; in fact I may say I am
certain," was the reply. "What makes
you think bo?"
The doctor returned a cautious answer
and gazed at Miss Overton with increased
attention, striving in vain to identify her
with his dim recollection of the sulky
young lady who had given him so cool a
reception. He was in the habit of seeing
so many different faces day after day
that there was nothing singular in his
failing to recognize a new patient; yet
there were certain unmistakable signs of
character in Miss Overton's features a
resolute chin, a firm mouth, and a
defiant expression in the large dark eyes
which he could not understand having
overlooked at their first meeting. Later
in the evening tbe young lady who ap
peared to recognize him as little as he
did her, happened to take a seat quite
near to him, and he could not resist go
ing up to her.
- "You do not recollect me, Miss Over
ton," he said, making his best bow.
"I "am afraid not," replied she, look
ing up at him without- the least em
barrassment. Her voice and manner seemed -entirely
unfamiliar, and for a moment thegdoctor
felt a little disconcerted. " fear I must
have' mistaken you for your sister,"
hazarded he.
j"I have no sister," she answered, rais
ing her pretty eyebrows.
"My name is Dr. Lane," he said, get
ting desperate.
Whereupon Miss Overton gave a
palpable start, while a crimson flush suf
fused her face and neck. She cast a
frighted glance at him, and seemed
speechless with confusion. To her evi
dent relief her partner for the next dance
came up at that moment, and with a
slight bow to the doctor she rose at once
from her seat and disappeared in the
. crowd. v .
Dr. Lane felt a little'offended at this
treatment, but the young lady's behavior
set his mind at rest concerning her
identity. She evidently remembered
him the instant he mentioned his name,
and her agitation was no doubt due to
the sudden recollection of the circum
stances attending their last interview.
Having satisfied his curiosity, the doctor
became conscious thaiit was getting late,
and went home to bed, but he could not
help marveling at his . own dullness at
not having recognized so pretty a pa
. tient. '
A day or two afterward he was consid-
erably surprised at receiving a visit from
Miss Overton, who called at his home
oae morning while he was at breakfast.
She looked pale and agitated and re
turned his greeting with visible em
, barrassment. '
"I must apologize, Dr. Lane," she be
gin, nervously, k "for my rudeness
t ) you at Lady Swansdowne's the other
nirbt. The truth is that I really did not
recognize you. and when you mentioned
yoaf name I J "
"No apology is needed, my dear young
lady," interrupted the doctor good
naturedly. "Pray don't distress your
self on that account. I hope you did
not think it necessary to call about such
a trifling matter."
"I certainly considered that I owed
you an apology, Dr. ILane," returned
Miss Overton, avoiding his gaze. "How
ever, that is not the chief object of my
visit. I called because I wish to ask your
friendly assistance about very unpleas
ant circumstance.
"I am at your service, Miss Overton,
said Dr. Lane, considerably surprised.
"I am aware that our slight acquaint
ance hardly justifies main asking a favor
of vou. said the young lady numeaiy.
"But it happens that you can do me a
great service, and I am sure that you are
too good-natured to refuse. Would you
mind reading this, please?
The young lady then handed him a
letter written on a dirty crumpled piece
of paper. Dr. Lane, more surprised
than ever, took the document, and with
some difficulty deciphered the crabbed
and illiterate handwriting as follows:
"The Red Cow," Ferry Walk, Liver
pool. Respected Miss: I am sur
nritifld von did not answer mv last. I
am a desperit man owing to severe mis
fortunes and illness and unless I receive
(addressed as above) the twenty
nonnd (20'i I mentioned in mv last I
shall tell vour father everything.
So vou should not make any mistake
about what I know, I may remind yqu I
am aware .you came to Liverpool on the
15th of April and stayed the night at Mrs.
Banton's and the next morning you saw
Mr. M. off on board the steamer uu
known to your father. A pretty story
to get about of a young lady, which you
know is quite true. Yours respectfully,
John Downs.
To Miss Overton.
"Bless mv soul!" ejaculated the doc
tor: "what is the meaning of this? Who
is the man who writes this letter?'
"He is a butler my father discharged
for drunkenness at least, 1 suppose
that is the man. I know nobody else of
the name. But. Dr. Lane, please ob
serve, the dates he mentions," said Miss
Overton eageily. "He says I went to
Liverpool on the 15th of April, and was
tbere on the morning of the 16th. Now
you will remember that it was on the
morning of the 16th of April that you
paid me a visit in my room,
"No doubt you are right," said the
doctor, turning over the leaves of his
diary. "Yes, here is the entry, Thurs
day, the ICth of April, at 11 a. m. This
fact alone, of course, proves the accusa
tion to be groundless. It is evident the
man was mistaken."
"I ignored his first letter altogether,
resumed Miss Overton, apparently, re
lieved by Dr. Lane's ready testimony
"However, as he has written again, 1
wish to take precautions to prevent him
worrying papa. I would send the man
the money directly, to secure papa from
annoyance, onlv 1 Know that woula De a
weak thing to do."
"It would be fatal it is not to be
thought of," said Dr. Lane, decidedly.
"I know, but I must do something.
said Miss Overton, with an air of des
peration. "Papa has so much to worry
him that I must save him this annoy
ance at all hazards. I thought, perhaps,
you would not mind writing to the man
to sav vou saw me in London on the
16th and thus put an end to the whole
matter."
"I am afraid I must decline doing
that," said Dr. Lane, after a pause
"Not."he hastened to add, from any un
willingness to oblige you, Miss Overton,
but because this man mui not be let off
so easily. This is an impudent attempt
to extort monev. and my advice to you
is to hand the letter to vour father and
leave him to deal with the man."
"Oh, that is out of the question! ex
claimed Miss Overton, with sudden en
ergy. "You don't know, Dr. Lane, how
my father lets things worry him. Such
an unpleasant matter would make him
seriously ill."
"Nonsense, my dear young lady. In
fact," said the doctor, rising from his
seat and speaking with decision, "unless
?rou promise me to hand your father the
etter immediately, I shall feel it my
duty to speak to him."
Miss Overton looked disconcerted, and
seemed to meditate making an attempt
to dissuade him from his purpose. But
apparently, upon second thoughts, she
changed her intentions, for, after a mo
ment's reflection, she said, father coldly:
"You need not trouble to do that, Dr.
Lane. I I feel your advice is right, and
unwilling as I am to cause my father an
noyance, I will hand the letter over to
him. In that case you need not mention
to him that I consulted you about the
matter first."
"Certainly not; but mind, you prom
ise?" said Dr. Lane, playfully, as the
young lady took leave of him.
. The fact was that the doctor's chival
rous feelings were thorougly aroused by
the discovery that an unscrupulous
scoundrel was seeking to impose upon
and intimidate a young and innocent
girl.' The intelligence filled him with
honest indignation, the more especially
as Miss Overton seemed disposed to
yield to the man's demand. Her eager
ness to. conceal the matter from her
father evidently arose from mingled
sensitiveness and reluctance to make a
scene, coupled with filial solicitude.
But Dr.Lane was strongly of the opinion
that Mr. Overton oaght riot toi be kept in
ignorance of the attempted extortion, and
he resolved to take an early opportunity
of calling upon him to ascertain if the
young lady -had faithfully kept her prom
lse.
A week passed before he could find
time to carry ut his intention, when
one evening he received a pressing note
from Mr, Overton, asking him as a par
ticular favor to step around to his home
immediately. He did so, and was con
ducted by the footman across the hall to
the library. Just as ho reached the
library door a maid servant came out of
the room looking so white and scared
that she at once attracted his at ten
tion.
"Who are yon?" he cried almost invol
untarily struck by a sudden recollection
of her face.
"I am Miss Overton's maid," she said
in a low tone of voice, as she hurried
past him. ....
Dr. Lane started after her with
puzzled expression, but before he had
time ; to compose his thoughts he was
ushered into tbe library, where he found
Mr. Overton engaged in an animated
and rather angry discussion with a grave,
elderly gentleman, who was presently
introducted to him as Mr. Brooks, a so
licitor. .
?I don't say the servant girl is speak
ing the truth," the lawyer was saying
when he entered. "Her nervousness and
agitation may be qnite natural. Bat
it would never do to rely upon her evi
dence." .
"Well, here is Dr. Lane," said Mr.
Overton, hastily performing the cere
mony of introduction. "You will now
hear what he says. You may recollect.
Dr. Lane, when you called and saw my
daughter a month or two back, I men-
tioned to. you that we had a disagree
"Perfectly," said the doctor. wondering
what was coming.
"It was about a foreign scamp of a
singing master, whom she fancied her
self in love with, and who has since
turned out to be a married man with a
family," said Mr. Overton, who was
evidently laboring under strong excite
ment. "He accepted a bribe to leave the
country and go to America. I brought
my daughter to town this season to get
her out of the way till he had started,
and the poor girl is now accused of
having gone to Liverpool to see the ras
cal off."
"The question under discussion is,"
interposed the lawyer, whose cool matter-of-fact
tone contrasted strangely with
his client 8 excitement, "whether it
would be expedient to prosecute a man
named Downs for attempting to extort
money from Miss Overton by threaten
ing to disclose to her father the alleged
fact that the young lady was at Liver
pool on the day the singing-master
sailed for America."
"Certainly he shall be prosecuted and
punished with the utmost rigor of the
law !" cried Mr. Overton, starting from
his seat and stiiding about the room. ,
"As I said before, my dear sir, said
Mr, Brooks testily, "we must first con
sider what evidence we have to disprove
tbe man's story. It would be most un
wise to prosecute him and create a scan
dal unless we can show conclusively that
there is no foundation for his allegations.
You could get a conviction no doubt,
but that is a very small matter, compared
with your daughter's reputation. The
maid servant's evidence would be worse
than useless."
"Well, Dr. Lane, vou can settle that
point, at all events," said Mrs. Overton,
anxiously. "You can swear to having
seen my daughter in her own room up
stairs, on the morning of the 16th of
April !"
Dr. Lane did not answer immediately,
for it suddenly occurred to him that he
was placed in a most awkward dilemma.
A few moments ago he could have given
an affirmative reply in perfect good faith,
but the appearance, tone and manner of
tht servant-maid whom he had met out
side the door had so vividly recalled to
his mind his first impression of Miss
Overton that his suspicions were aroused.
In fact, during the foregoing conversa
tion, the conviction had gradually grown
upon him that the lady's maid had per
sonated her young mistress when he was
called in, and when he recollected Miss
Overton's embarrassment upon his ad
dressing her at Lady Swansdowne's. and
her conduct at their subsequent inter
view, it was impossible for him to doubt
that she was not guilty of the escapade
of which she was accused.
The good doctor was a very truthful,
conscientious man, and his natural im
pulse was to give expression to his real
convictions. But he was generous and
kind-hea rted almost to the point of weak
ness, and shrank from causing pain to a
devoted father and from exposing a
young and impetuouss girl to the grave
consequences of a thoughtless indiscre
tion. - .,
"I certainly saw Miss Overton in her
room that day," he replied with hesita
tion. "Are you certain of her identity?"
suggested the lawyer suspiciously.
"I renewed my acquaintance with the
young lady a few nights ago at Lady
Swansdowne's," he replied evasively,
turning to Miss Overton.
"To be sure. She told me she met
you," exclaimed her father, looking tri-
uphantly at the lawyer.
"What do you
say bow, Mr. Brooks?
"Dr. Lane's evidence
valuable conclusive, in
lawrer, drylv. "At the
would be most
fact," said the
same time. I
would not
advise a prosecution. I've
seen the man
and he is thoroughly
frightened. Jtle will consent to signing
a written statement that he was mistaken,
and apologizing for what he has done.
To avoid publicity and annoyance to
your daughter, I' think you had better
leave me to settle the matter on that basis,
"I think Mr. Brooks is right, if he will
excuse my saying so, interposed the
doctor eagerly. "A public trial would
be a most painful ordeal for the young
lady , notwithstanding ber innocence."
Dr. Lane glanced defiantly at the law
yer as he uttered the last words, though
he was conscious of a tell-tale flush upon
his cheeks. Mr. Brooks gave him a
quick look of intelligence and approba
tion, while Mr. Overton, whose wrath
was evidently mollified by thedoctor's
convincing testimony, said innocently:
"Very well. Perhaps you are' both
right. I don't want to be hard on the
man, and therefore, Mr. Brooks, 1 author
ize you to settle the matter as you sug

The industrial status of women at Bos
ton is the subject of some notes by the
Herald. Where once scarcely a woman
was to be seen in the stores and shops,
hundreds are now at work, aud their
services are highly valued and some
times well paid. One firm employs 360
woman against 5, 13 years ago, another
hires 400 against 50, six years ago, and
still another gives work to between 1200
and 1300. There is a bright side to the
work and-live question for women there.
Some employers are constantly trying to
make them comfortable and contented,
granting them privileges which were
once thought to be inconsistent with
"business principles." In a number of
the largest houses lunch rooms are fur
nished for them, and the proprietors
giye them substantial aid in saving money
and pay men and women eqnal wages
for similar work. On the other hand,
there are employers who leave their
work-girls only the alternative of beggary
or disgrace. There are girls in the city
Btores, says the Herald, who live out of
town and are expected to dress well, pay
railroad fares, $3 a week for table-board,
and a SI. 50 for room rent out of a $i
salary. The arithmetic of this is puz
zling; but it no mystery when it is
known that many, employers encourage
them to prostitution. One who has a
store on Tremont street, for instance,
offered an applicant for work a salary of
$5 per week; and to the answer, "But
that will only pay for my board and
room," asked, "Haven't you some gen
tleman friend who will pay for your
clothes?" Another person reprimanded
a saleswoman for repelling tbe insults of
rich snobs on a tour of inspection, be
cause it would "injure trade." There
are other girls who make $2 a week and
even less. What are they to do when
they have no friends to depend upon?
The question: "What . will be the
cheapest food this winter for cows pro
ducing milk?" was answered in the El
mira, N. Y., Farmers Club recently by
the recommendation of clover hay and
sowed corn, although barley meal,
shorts, corn meal, bran, etc., were com
mended. '

Kleptomaniacs.
The Cincinnati Enquirer in a recent
issue says:. The rain yesterday kept
the "fiys" about the office most of the
time, and they amused themselves and
an Enquirer reporter telling stories and
reminiscences. Little Charley Wappen
stein, as usual, was bragging about his
wonderful marksmanship, but when
Steve Mead offered to stand ap and let
him shoot an apple from his head,
Wappy wilted. The talk turned on
kleptomaniacs, and Wappenstein re
lated the history of a well-to-do married
lady, living at present not a hundred
miles from headquarters, who, a few
years ago, became possessed ox a mania
for shop-lifting, and was arrested many
times, butalways released, as her bus
band came to the front and settled for
the things taken. It wouldn't be fair to
give tbe woman's name, now that she has
been cured of the mania. But for conveni
ence let us call her Mrs. C. The first
time Mrs. C was apprehended was in a
prominent Fourth street store,where she
didn't happen to know, and in spite of
her protestations an officer took her to
the Central Police Station and she was
searched, registered and locked up in the
fly cell. She was a large, fine-looking
woman of about 43, with iron gray hair
that gave her a very aristocratic look,
Still there was something about her that
would lead some to take her for a pro
fessional shop-lifter. Entering the
Fourth street store she asked to' be
showh some ostrich feathers. The young
lady clerk set a large box of valuable
plumes on the counter and in a few
minutes noucea ivirs. u. conceal one
under her cloak. Another plume disap
peared in a similar manner, Mrs. C. re
marking that she guessed she would
make no purchase then, started to leave.
The clerk called the attention of one of
the proprietors, who confronted the lady
and caught her by the arm, saying,' 'You
have stolen . some feathers." The lady
became very, ; indignant, .asserting who
she was and declaring that the shop
keeper was mistaken. The proprietor,
to be sure, called upon tbe clerk ami
asked if she was sure the lady had taken
the feathers and the reply was in the
affirmative. At the same time the clerk
ran her hand up under Mrs. C.'s cloak
and pulled out the missing articles. At
this discovery the lady appeared greatly
astonished,, and accused the clerk of
placing the plumes on her person. A
policeman was called in, and Mrs. C
went to the police station. It happened
that a gentleman well acquainted with
the C. family saw the arresting party
passing the corner of Seventh and Plum
streets, and accompanied them to - the
station, offering to go bail for the lady,
but the lieutenant in charge said bail
could not be accepted until the doo r
keeper appeared aad preferred a charge.

who was so overwhelmed with astonish
ment that he actually fainted, and when
he came to he was completely out of his
mind. It was some time before he fully
recovered himself, but he could not be
made to believe that his wife was locked
up for theft. What would she steal for?
She had everything she wanted, and cer
tainly she must have become suddenly
demented. Calling his carriage Mr. C,
proceeded to the etation-house, where he
found the Fourth street merchant, and,
after a private talk, the lady was re
leased, and her name erased from the
slate.
To her husband she reiterated that she
had not taken the feathers, but that the
clerk had slipped them under her oloak:
The affair blew over for the time being,
but in scarcely a month Mis. C. was
again detected while leaving another
Fourth street store with a large bolt of
silk under her cloak. She was known by
the - proprietor, who detained her until
her husband could be summoned. The
same scene was rehearsed, the lady de
daring a clerk had given her the silk. It
then dawned upon the mind of Mr. C.
and his friends that bis wite was a
kleptomaniac, and for several weeks she
was closely watched and never permitted
to leave her house unaccompanied by a
relative or servant. But it was impossi
ble for her to keep from stealing, and in
a short time she was again apprehended..
She managed to conceal some goods in
her clothing while in a store accompained
by her sister-in-law, and the discovery
was not made until they arrived home
and she showed, the articles herself. On
several other occasions did she do the
same thing, until finally her husband
tpok her away from the city and remain
ed a -loner time and she came home
cured."
As Wappy had hmshed, attention was
called to a middle-aged man carrying a
gold-headed walking cane, who entered
the office and said to the clerk:
"is the Chiefin?"
"No, sir."
"Will he be in?"
"Yes, sir, at 2 o'clock."
"Will he be in at 3 o'clock."
"Yes. sir."
"Can I see him at 4 o'clock?"
"Yes, sir;"
"Thank you, sir. I think I will
call around in the morning. Good after
noon." ' .
"Good-by, sir."
As tbe man with the gold-headed cane
vanished the clerk raised his pale face
from his ledger, and, turning to his of
fice boy, said:
"Shut that door, and, shoot the first
man who comes in here and inquires for
the Chief."
Bracing himself against the chief's
desk, Steve Meade told about a case of
kleptomania which, although it was
never published, was one of the most in
teresting ever known in this city. The
lady, who was the wife of a very promi
nent and wealthy citizen became so bad
that it was considered best to place her
in a private asylum. Her husband
would go out to see her eyery evening.
When she was thought to be improved
she was allowed to go out among the
people living in the neighborhood of the
asylum. It was soon discovered that
while making these little visits she
would pilfer little articles and books.
The things would be taken from her on
her return to the asylum and returned
to the owners. It was now growing late,
and a telephone message coming in t hat
an overcoat had been stolen iu the West
End, the whole gang went ' out to work
up the case. .- .
