R. M. Cailcott, "Wamogo, Kas. all of its ups and downs. It is now almost -two years since Sergeant1 Crowley was sent to states prison for an assault on a young girl in a liquor saloon attached to a low dancing hall on the south side of the town.

The circumstances wei'e peculiar. In the first place a very pertinent 'question would be, What was a pure, young g'lrl-ijoing at such a place in company with a lot of young toughs why was she not at home wKh her widowed mother? Sergeant Crowley had been having his day off, and during the af ternoon had met several friends, and had drank heavily. He came upon his post late, and svent to. the salcon where the dancing was going on, and walking into the hall, saw the young girl in question, aud invited her down stairs to take a drink. She accented the invitation, and while in the saloon tho lights svere turned off by the bar-keeper, and the assault was attempted.

The giri'd companions, missing her from the roojn, rushed down stairs to the saloon and found the doors locked tliey raised an out-err, when Sergeant Crowley, realizing his position, rushed out by a side-door into the street. The saloon door was opened, and the girl walked off with her friends. Sunday passed and she said not a word, but on the following Monday or Tuesday she mentioned the fact to one of her companions; she told somebody else, and the third repeated it to another, and at last some enemies of Crowley carried it tip bvfore the police commissioners, and eventually it reached the office of the district attorney. Tho World took the matter hand. Crowley was painted as burly ruffian, whoso special business it was to ruin young girie, and the girl herself svas painted as a young angel of purity and innocence.

who svas only waiting for her wings to sprout in order to fly away from this wicked world. The, trial was brief; public indignation was worked up to white heat, and the result was that Sergeant Crowley was railroaded off "to Sing-Sing for fifteen years, Public sympathy was invoked for the innocent young girl it was represent ed that she was persecuted by the en tire police force, who were determined to revenge the downfall of their com rade. At last a charitable lady took her into, her family to live with her children, It. was not very long before she began to miss things, and eventu ally she turned her out of her house, It then transpired that she was adier using in the papers under the name of-a charming young svidow; and be sides this, long beforeshe met Crow- lev, she claimed to have been married to a young tough In the neighborhood, who did not, howevei, feel proud enough to acknowledge her as, his wife. In short, after all the facts ba came kfjown, whila it was apparent that Sergeant Crowley had been guilty of a offence, it became a ques tion if the loss of his shield and coiple ot months in the penitentiary would not have settled the account.

In the meantime, however, the prin cipal sufferers svere Sergeant Crowley's vrife and children. For a time the poor woman made- a noble struggle for her little ones, but sickness came, and with it want and suffering, and at last she sank into dire poverty. JJutyour city 13 full ot noble charities, yon say why did she not apply to them? She did, but they could not see their svny cHar. lo help l'h(3 priest and the Leviie passed her At lant an, angel Samaritan chanced by the way. She was only a woman, but a svoman that was worth a thousand ordinary men.

She started out single-handed and alone. Did she go to the churches? No. She went to the actors. Charity is net their profession, but it is more frequently their practice than that, of any other profession, lay or clerical, on the face of the globe. Mrs.

Porges, the good woman who took the matter hand, enlisted the sympathies of Harry Miner, the manager of the People's theatre, lie gave the house; the actors cave their services, and tho result svas that this week Mayor Hewitt, as trustee, received for Mrs. Crowley's Yes, this is not such a bad world after all. I cannot help saying God bless the manager and ihe actors srlio so cheerfully re sponded to her call, and to the thousands of poor people who gave from their little store to help the needy and the suffering.
