a Burglar OutsSiifec.


When the Mastin Bank went under il
was generally presumed that stock men
had been drawing out their deposits and
consequently must have considerable cash
about their homes-at least this is the way
that professional gentlemen reasoned.
Burglars considered this their golden oppor-
tunity and determined upon striking some
of the most prominent stock men at their
homes. Judge Quinlin was to be the first
victim. \ big burly fellow was seen loaf
ing in the vicinity OF the Judges residence
for some days which somewhat aroused
the Judges bump of coution. When the
night for the opporation arrived Mr.. Burg
lar entered the house through back win
dow and made his way into the Judge
presence, then and there demanded the
Judges cash. The Judge very good-natur-
edly produced Mexican dollar ninety
centsl, and gave it to the burglar with the
assurance that that was all the cash there
was in the house. Ninety cents for weeks
watching and waiting wasn't much Of q
haul so Mr.. Burglar, not being satisfied OF
the truth Of the Judges statement, search
ed the house but without finding any more
money. lie at once became enraaed, tore
oil his mask. threw the Mexican dollar on
the floor, hoped out OF the window and
disappeared in the darkness, damming his
luck and swearing that stock men We're No
good and had no money anyhow.

Heating a City by Steam.

The experiment of heating the city OF
Lockport, N. Y, by steam has proved
highly successful. Three miles of pipe
properly covered with nonconducting
material laid under ground through
some of the principal streets radiates
from central boiler house, and fifty
different dwellings and other edifices,
including one large public school build
ing, have been thoroughly warmed all
winter. Dwellings more than a mile
distant from the steam generator are
heated as readily as those next door.
Steam meters are provided, so that each
consumer need pay only for what he
consumes. 1t is claimed that the system
can be so developed as to furnish steam
at fifty pounds pressure transmitted
through twenty miles of pipe, thus sup
plying power of engines and manufac-
tories, and steam for cooking and
Laundry purposes, for extinglishing
conflagations, for clearing streets of ice
or snow, or protecting hydrants from
frost. The rates actually charged to the
consumer here do not exceed former
cost of his coal and wood.

tleman spoke, very gravely. GAS your
guardian, Millie, l can speak to you nc
word against Cyril Ormsby. He is d
rich man, of good social position, OF IT.
reproachable moral reputation, and q
man whose standing in business circles
is of the highest. A man who is a good
match in every worldly sense. So much
for your guardian. As your friend, my
pearl, who loves you as your own dead
father might have loved you, who knows
every noble impulse of your pure soul
as that friend, tell you would rather
see you lying beside your mother than
the broken-hearted wife of such a man
as Cyril Ormsby."
81 came to you as friend, as almost
father" said Mile, "and 1 thank
you for keeping me from lifelong mise
ny. To know my husband such man
as I now know Cyril Ormsby to be,
would, as you say, break my heart"
81 would not tell you," said her
guardian, /" for you knew disliked him,
and might have thought that dislike
prejudiced me. But, Mile, tell me you
will not let this day work shadow your
life. You did not love Cyril, MillieP"
"No. 1 reverenced what l believed

And so it happened that Cyril Orms-
by, coming to claim the fortune he be-
lieved to be within his grasp, met only
Mr.. Wilkinson, with Miles polite but
distinct refusal to resign herself or her
fortune to his keeping. But he never
knew how it was that Mile learned the
true value of his hollow words of char
ity and philanthropy. s, .1.

LEARNING HIS VALUE.

Mr.. Marcus Wilkinson sat alone in hi
office, with dainty little perfumed note
between his fingers, and puzzled frowr
upon his brow. The note, directed in 9
graceful feminine hand, was brief:
DEAR GUARDIAN: will be at the Office at
10 in the morning, to consult you upon q
matter of importance. MILE.
ga matter of Importance" muttered
Mr., Wilkinson, twisting the note nerv-
ously. "Can my fears be truep Has
Cyril Ormsby proposed to my pearlP
am afraid he has! And what can l urge
against the man, if Miles own instincts
have played her falseP Ten o'clock"
The last silvery stroke of the mantel-
clock had not died away when the door
of the Office was opened by a clerk, and
Mile Bentley entered the room.
just few words to describe the ward
of whom Marcus Wilkinson always
thought as pearl, lily, every thing
pure and fair. She was of medium
height, slender and graceful, with II
thoughtful face of exquisite beauty
Very young, only Is, Mile Bentley had
borne early the sorrows of life. Her
father, having been wealthy, had failed
in business, and committed suicide. Her
mother, delicate and helpless, had fought
poverty feebly for two years, and, sink
ing under privation and toll, had con-
tracted fatal disease. When all hope
of life was over, the news came that
Miles uncle, dying abroad, had left a
large fortune TO his only sister. A will
was made 10y the dying woman, leaving
her own too lately won independence to
Millio, and appointing their old friend,
Marcus Wilkinson, guardian to the heir
eSs. Sorrowing, and womanly beyond
her years, Mile had turned from her
own grief To noble endeavor to solace
some of the trials of those with when
her own poverty had made her familiar.
4 cousin had come at Mr.. Wilkinson's
request 10 make home for his ward,
and she resumed many long interrupted
studies. But large portion of her time
was spent in the humble homes Of those
who had been her mothers friends in
the dark days of widowhood, and her
gentle charities soon extended far be-
youd th.> small circle. She had been an
orphan two years on the day when she
came io seek Mr.. Wilkinson, rs already
described. and the sorrows Of her life
had Lost some Of their bitter sting, lcav-
ing only a gentle sadness behind.
"weil. Mnlie," the old gentleman
said. wis, brings 10 me the pleasure
Of secirG Won today
"Itis about myself" Mile said, the
scftesi ro>e-;in;s flushing her cheeks.

Two New England Centenarians.


Two New England women have just
celebrated the hundredth anniversary
of their birth-NIrs. Elizabeth T. Wes-
ton of Peterboro, N. H., and Mrs. Lucy
Nichols of Waterbury, Ct. Mrs. Wes-
ton was 100 on Friday, and the occasion
was celebrated at the residence of her
youngest daughter, Mrs. Martha Saw
yer of Greenfield, N. H., where she is
temporarily stopping. Mrs. Weston
was born in Peterboro, where she has
spent her whole life, married at IS a
poor man WHO combined the shoemak-
er's trade with farming, and is the moth
er of - children, five sons and seven
daughters, of whom five are now living,
two sons and three daughters, three of
whom were present. The most remark
able feature in the reunion was the fact
that representatives of five generations
were gathered together, each and all
the eldest child and descending in di-
rect succession, viz. Mrs. Weston aged
100; Deacon Samuel Weston, 80; Mrs.
James Ferren, 55; Mrs. Hubert Oils,
27, and Harry Frank Oils, 8. Mrs.
Weston shared in the exercises by recit-
ing hymn she learned when little
girl. She bears her years remarkably,
being able to knit and perform many
household duties, is able to converse
readily, and takes great pleasure in
hearing the songs and music of other
days. Her health is good, and bids fair
to attain another half score of years at
least. Much less happy is the old age
of Mrs. Nichols, who reached
her centennial yesterday. She has
always been of a fretful and fault-fnd-
ing disposition, which has naturally
grown upon her, and in her senile jeal-
ousy imagines that her relatives want
to throw her on the town. She says
that her life has been filled up with dis
appointments and crosses, but she has
been living under Gods "chair" and
hopes that He will receive her when the
time comes for her to go. She keeps
up constant moaning and imagines
that she hears music. One of her vaga-
ries is that He'll trembles; bedlam
has broken loose; heaven rejoices and
the angels sing with cheerful voices"
Her memory is comparatively clear,
and, when questioned in regard to
events of her girlhood, she answers with
astonishing readiness. She keeps her
bed good share of the time, but can
pass from one room to another with the
aid of cane. Her form is considera-
bly, bent and her face is a good deal
shrunken and shriveled, but her hand
retains more strength than one would
suppose, and when she shakes hands |
there is a perceptible pressure in the |
wan fingers. She was born at Hamden,
Ct, married at 81, has had nine chill
dren, and lives with the only surviving
son, Milo Nichols of Waterbury, her |
only living daughter being in Ohio. She
went out to Ohio 60 years ago, but has
never ridden on the cars.-Sprinqfeld I
