SMART MISS SMART.

Sliding Down the Slippery Path. ; Peculiar honrf girls drift when they get on the seamy side of things and drift on the upturned boat of life. What chance is there for, them unless they mend their rotten ways and show the world that they are genuine and that everything morally is as fbuld be wished. Mary. .Smart' is too darned smart "altogether ; she got away \n*th a skirt and blouse from Mrs ]May Cook, her mistress, and said nothing about it. Well, it was some time afterwards that the slight robbery . , WAS TRACED TO HER, and it appeared to the police that she was drifting— drifting to perdition, that is. She is going to hell.;. Magistrate Bishop wanted to knew, something more about her, but beyond what Missionary Smaill told i him about the lady (which wasn't , much) he had very small informa- j tion. The magistrate had quite en- i /ough, however, and he fined the lady and ordered her to sing hymns to the prisoners m default, or . something t like that. Ami she can sing, too. Smaill will see to that.
