danger Business houses of all
kinds were closed, and the whites
were soon under arms and march

"Go. dear Mrs. Betty" she said,

The guards who were no doubt gentle

found waiting outside. When they
reached the open space outside the
tower, the earl was so nervous that all
would have been lost but for Evans,
who conducted him to his hiding-place.
On delivering her casket into safe
hands, Lady Nithsdale returned to the
tower, and, entering her husbands
room, pretended to converse with him,
talking loud and occasionally initiating
his voice. This she did until she
thought him safe from pursuit, when,
with the door half open, she affected to
bid him goodnight. Before shutting it
she drew to the inside little string
which fastened it so that it could not
be easily opened from the ante.room.
This being accomplished she told The
earl's valet, who was not in the secret,
that his master would call for candles
when he wanted them, which would be

Scene ON the Stago OF a Public
Theatre i'm New York.
From the Sun Of Oct. 31.7

They had spectacle on the Bowery
stage last night. A play called Life
in New York" had been advertised for
the occasion Of ''Billy'' Edwards ben
eft, with sparring match between Ed.
wards and "Fiddlcr' Neary. On
Thursday Neary said that he would
not attend, and "Patscy'' Hogan was
substituted in his stead. The theatre
was packed from pit to dome. On the
stage were Arthur Chambers, Mike
Coburn, Johnny Aarons, George Siler,
Bill Clark, Harry Hill and crowd
Of others of the "profession."
Edwards stepped to the
footlights and said that as Neary was
noe in the house he would put On the
gloves with Hogan. At this Neary
jumped from his seat in tho gallery and
shouted that he was con hand* and
was not afraid Of Edwards.
*'Comc down: them" said Edwards,
''and let's scc.''
Ncary descended to the stage amid a
deafening shout, and stripped for
fight. Both men were excited, and it
was evident that they ''meant business.
The stage was surrounded Wy police
men, and others were stationed in differ.
chi parts of the house. A riot seemed
imminent. Old "Bill' Tovce stepped
forward and tried to paciiy the excited
crowd, and called for fair play. At
length the combatants stepped toward
the footlights and shook hands, smil-
ing grimly.
At the word 'stime'' the hcrculean
'Fiddler" aimed blow with fist like
a sledse hammer Edward stepped
aside and struck Neary fearful blow
on the side Of the face. The men then
closed, and terrific round ended with
the fall of both, with Edwards upper.

lists fighting in earnest. Tho ''Fiddler"
finding his antagonist more skillful than
himself, stopped sparring after the Sec
ond round, and sought only to throw
Edwards, depending upon his own su.
perior physique. At length he grew
desperate and laid himself open to the
fierce assaults ofhis adversary. who kept
cool, waiting for his chance. Every
round ended with fall, and six times
out of the seven the :Fiddler'' was
under.
When the men fell they struggled
desperately, rolling over and over,
striking savagely, until the "sports''
on the stage Had to disengage them.
The contestants allowed each other
hardly any time, but almost as soon as
separated renewed the fight. The di.
minishing crowd arose from their seats
EN- masse and shouted themselves
hoarse. Before the end Of the fifth
round the ''Fiddler's" face was batter
ed almost past recognition, and the
blood, which flowed freely from his
nose, was spattered over Edwards. At
the end Of the seventh round Nearv
''threw up the SPONGE" and the specta-
tors on the stage lifted Edwards to
their shoulders and carried him to the
flies" He was loudly called 70 .
For several minutes the uproar was so
great that he could not make himself
heard. When it ended he walked to
the front and, painting for breath, said:

The bright tints Of autumn eleavca

parlors, boudoirs, and dining tables.
Brackets and picture.frames can also
be adorned with them, and they greatly
add to the beauty Of ones surround
ings.
Collect large quantity, combining
every hue, from crimson to scarlet,
to yellow, and from yellow to green.
The red beech and the beautifully vari-
egatcd sumach are very desirable, as
also are the oaks and ferns, but the
maple exceeds them all in the great va
riety of its tints and the various sizes
Of its leaves. Smooth every leaf on
the wrong side with a moderately
warm iron, holding it upon the leaf
only a minute. Then take a camel's
hail pencil and little olive oil and
carefully BRUSH over every part of the
leaf. Place them on flat surface to
dry, and let them remain until the next
day.
For wiring these leaves into gar
lands, etc. or for preparing them for
boquets, take the fine green-covered
reel wire, such as is always used in
manufacturing wax flowers. and attach
it around the stem, first laying it SO
that it will extend the entire length of
the leaf to support it. Afterwards
wind around each stem to conceal the
wire, either narrow strips Of green
tissue paper or brown Berlin wo:sted,
and join the leaves together in sprays
of course the individual leaves on each
spray must be of the same species.
Prepare large number of these sprays
mounted on wires, and then arrange
them in vases, about picture frames,
over mirrors, and as ornaments to lace
curtains, and your apartments will pre-
sent festive appearance, although the
dreary winter weather has Drowned
the face Of nature. Oak leaves, acorns
and brightly .colored beans, gummed
upon cardboard frame, will make
handsome corner brackets, or wall
pockets and vases, to hold your beau
tiful leaves. The acorns and beans
ought first to be cut in half, when used
for this purpose.
