" " I guess she is," roplied the captain, preparing himself to hear of a stabbing affray at least. "This niornino;, toon after the aun had ascended tho horizon," continued the lady, " and while I sat at my window, buried in reflection over the wonders of nature, a enrrier boy carne along. " " Carno along," repoatod the captain, as she paused. " Camc aloug, and as he obsorved me he halted and bent his gaze iu niy direction. My glance rested upon hún -without my realizing for a moment that he was there. As I lookcd down upon him ho matlc up a face, like this, and put his finger on his nose, like this. What foul, flendish motive promptod him I know not. Recovering in a measuro from my sm-prise, I raised the window and commanded him to be gone. He said he'd be darnod if he'd begono for any behanged woman in Detroit." "Woman in Detroit," echfled the captain. "Actuated by a spirit of deviliah malioe," coutiuuet,! tho weiaan, " tho yonng flend frora the suburbs of perdition asked tac if I -was ever arrested for stealing a dog.

"Panel of the front door," repeatca tho captain. " Here is liis description, and now I dnnand his speody arrest, trial and convictioü. I am a frec-born Amorican lady, entitled to Üic full protection of all laws, and I demand protection from the flendish, malicioiw and nnprecedonted persecutions of thatyoung üend, ■whose conduct stamps him as one oí the most depraved wretches history has ever knowü.' The captain promised to shoot tho boy as soon ns found, and tho woman went away feeling mucheasior in her mind.- Detroit Pree Press.
