Il Am sorry to interrupt your little
comedy, my friends, broke in a gravs
voice behind them. @But duty bid,
me-" and q strong hand laid itself o.
Miss Richardson's shoulder.
Wopping glanced up. He beheld hii
superior officer.
At the first sound of that heavy voice
Miss Richardson had suppressed O cry
and now, looking strangely white an
still. stood half covering before then
in the grasp of the officer.
what right have you to hold Mis-
Richardson in that way?" began Mr.
Wopping, angrily. "She is my be
trothed wife, and bid you to unhanc
her."
The officer glanced from one to the
other. A low whistle escaped him
"Your betrothed fiddlesticks, you
mean, don't you? Come now, Wop
ping, don't be fool. This girl here il
q married woman, and her husband j.
the celebrated craftsman, Tom Reddy
She seems to have played you for all
YOU'RE worth, eh?"
Wopping glanced at his fiancee.
She returned hard and defiant look
and made grimace. The childlike OK.
preston had gone from her face; the
innocence had left her large, soft eyes,
"And more than that, Mrs. Reddy
here is the burglar who has done the
robbing ut the Ocean House. I'm sur.
prised, Wopping, that an old man like
you would be so easily taken in"
"Mr. Wopping was interested in
poeny-particularly Tennyson's," said
the ci-devant Miss Richardson, with
a mischievous laugh.
at tn, Brute" muttered Wopping,
with glance of reproach.
He was doing an idyl, went on Mrs.
Reddy, demurely.
"Wopping is an egregious fool, said
the officer, sternly. MRS. Reddy would
certainly have gotten away this after
noon if we hadn't have 'tumbled to the
racket and caught Reddy at 3 o'clock
this morning, just as he was leaving the
hotel grounds with the swag."
Mrs. Reddy gave scream.
Caught Tom, did you say?" cried
she, in despair.
Certainly. We have been trailing
him for some time, and caught him this
morning, not ten minutes after you
gave him the roll of bills and the dia-
mond pin you stole from Browns room
last night. You went out by way of
the transom, you know"
Mr.. WoppiHg sat down on a bench
hard by-for they were in the summer
house-and groaned.
In face Sf all this mass of evidence
the scales were rapidly falling from his
eyes.
ave may occasionally fool Pinker-
toms men, but we never fool the old
man himself, do we?" mused Mrs.
Reddy, with doleful sigh, as the
policeman marched her off.
"By-by, dear love-" with an airy wave
of her white hand to Mr.. Wopping.
"By-by, dear. L hope to see you again
some day, and in any case 1 refer you
to my papa" with sly wink at the
guardian of the law.
1t was long enough after this episode
in Mr.. Whopping's life ere he could go
back on the force with feeling of any
thing like love for the vocation. Old
offenders-particularly of the female
sex-never again tried their arts on
him, for the vivid recollection of a GER
tain summers idyl makes him hard as
adamant, and as unyielding.

Mr.. WORKINGS IDYL,
BY NJ. c. FARLEY.

There was a sharp rat-a-tat-tat-tat of
little red boot-heels flying along the
narrow hall, q futter of streaming
white drapeyies fitting up the dingy
stair, an indescribably brilliant and
dazzlingly beautiful head of golden
hair that, glancing in the sunshine,
momentarily rose higher up and higher,
until Mr.. Wopping actually stood face
to face, on the second stair landing, two
story back, with the most entrancingly
beautiful little creature the world ever
held.
Oh, o-o-o-op gurgled the beauty.
Mr.. Wopping was not usually taken
with women. On the contrary, he
hated them more often than other
wise: but this stunning little creature
the ARREST, the fairiest bit of floating
lace and curls and dimples-oh, dear !!
she altogether, if not quite, took his
breath away in spite of him.
"God bless my SOUL" CALCULATED the
astonished Mr.. Wopping.
"You are Mr.. Woppingw asserted a
soft, delicious, lute-like voice. The
floating draperies, the flying red boot
heels, and the dazzling tresses came to
a full stop before that gentleman,
who, completely paralyzed by this sud-
den and unexpected vision of transcen-
dental loveliness, lost even the re-
hottest idea of denying his Identity
that is, supposing he had wanted to
deny it, in the first place.
Seeing him stand before her, amazed
and speechless, her manner changed.
"Mr. Wopping?" queried she, with a
stamp of her dear little foot.
"At your service, Miss gasped
Wopping, recovering the use of his
tongue. His heart, alas! was now his
own no longer.
Il am q boarder here at the Ocean
House," said she, imperiously.
Mr.. Wopping bowed.
"And / am told you are detective. y
Mr.. Wopping bowed again.
"And there was burglary done In
room No. 45 last night"
Once more he bowed.
Groom No. 40 is next to mine, and
am afraid, sir. Do you understands"
Perfectly" gasped Wopping, wipine
the perspiration from his face. "You
are afraid Of room 40 because it has beer
so unfortunate as to be burgled.
The little beauty stared; then burst
out laughing. She looked at hin
quantity from her big, soft, blue, limo
cent eyes.
ooh, fie, Mr.. Wopping,' cried she,
archly, putting her fairy finger to hel
lovely red lips. "The room can do me
no harm. OF course not. What feal
is, that shall be burglarized, and
want my room watched. 1 have some
valuable jewels that were poor nam
mas" here sigh, and pathetic lool
from the big eyes. "And 1 would no
lose them for anything"
"To be sure, assented Wopping.
any awful papa insisted on my com
ing to this place for the summer, be
cause il is healthy and cheap. But
am sorry that / came, even If we d.
have TO practice economy. / don't car
TO be where there are robbers an'
things. One might be murdered" Sh
shivered. and the suspicion of tea
stood in her eyes.

time. and with his right hand placed ei

SANDER and Libel.

To say injurious and untrue things Of
another is SANDER. A person who
suffers such an injury may bring an ae-
ton against the person who slandered
him and recover damages for his loss Of
character and reputation. To charge
person with having committed crime
is SANDER. For example, a man who
says that his neighbor has committed
murder or burglary may be sued for it.
In England it is no SANDER to accuse .
person of having committed trifing
offense. To say of another, HE is
common beggar and fortune-teller,"
does not render the person liable there.
In the United States, however, such
words are held to be slanderous, be-
cause they bring disgrace upon the per-
son of whom they are spoken.
The following are few accusations
of crime that have been decided to be
slanderous: "He is convict, and has
been in the penitentiary. He was ar
raigned for stealing hogs. and if he had
not made good friends, it would have
gone hard with him." "He is knave
and rascal" Il will venture any
thing he has stolen my book" You
swore falsely at the trial of your
brother John"
To say of a person that he has dis
gushing and contagious disease, for
example, the leprosy or the plague, rs
SANDER. Statements such as these
have tendency to drive a person from
all pleasant society.
Another form of Islander is to charge
q person with misconduct In his bust
ness. To say of tradesman that in
carrying on his business he is a
swindler, is a SANDER. A person who
accuses a Clergyman of drunkenness, or
tradesman Of keeping bad place of
resort, must pay damages if he is sued
for it. The public will have nothing
to do with those who do not conduct
themselves properly. 1t is only fair
that those who are wrongfully accused
should be able to make the slanderer
pay the loss.
A slanderous statement made In writ.
ing, or printed, or picture calculated
to bring q person into public contempt
and ridicule, is libel A malicious
picture showing persons physical de-
fects is hbelous. No person has a
right to parade the misfortunes Of
others before the public.
There is no SANDER when a statement,
however malicious, is true. The truth
Is not SANDER. But in some eases the
truth when written or printed, is q
libel.
In certain cases, statements are
privileged Lawyers, while arguing a
case, have o right to make any state
mcnts that bear upon it. Jurymen and
Witnesses are also protected so long al.
they act under the belief that they are
doing their duty.
Members of Congress and other legB-
lative bodies may say what they please
while on duty in the place where they
meet. This right was given them in
former times, to prevent jealous kings
from furnishing members Of Parliament
who did their duty. Candidates for
public office may be criticised freely.
The people have right TO know every
thing about those who ask for their
votes
In all cases of SANDER and libel, the
statements must have been published ;
that Is, made to q person other than the
one who seeks danages. 1t is not
skander to make injurious statements of
o person to his face, when no one else
is within hearing.

Two Rockland citizens were toddling

manner with which they were seen to

they were exchanging their experiences

before she did; "don't you see the

The dude republicans whose high NOR
81 senses have been shocked by the nom
ination Of Blaine and Logan have called
q meeting of the political pharisces to be
held IN New York on the 22nd of this
month for the purpose of conference upon
the situation, and to decide what they
ere gong to de- about it. Such meeting
would seem to be incompatible with the
lofty independence which they profess,
because such meeting contemplates in
ltsvery nature combination of action by
compromise Of individual opinions, and
the moment they do that they become
partisans the same as the members of the
old, party organizations. Schurz and
Curtis are the brains of the movement
and expect to do the thinking for the
whole crowd. They are so inconsequen-
tlalin number and Influenced that the
democrats are not paying any attention
to them, and if the real sentiment of the
bourbons was known We believe they
would prefer to have the opposition o;
these dudes than to be burdeued with the
odium Of their support.

BEN. BUTLER got his work in on the
democratic national convention in such q
way as to make himself abont rs con-
spicuous as if he had been nominated.
He succeeded first in obtaining place
on the committee to draught platform,
and alone brought In minority report
which enabled hum to present his own
platform and his own views upon the
tsrln question to the country through the
report Of the convention. He secured
place on the platform committee by de-
clarlng that he "would support the nom
inee Of the. convention" Notwithstanding
he had already. in answer to q telegram
from New York advising HIM to bolt in
case Cleveland should be nominated, said
he "would never agree to the nomination
Of menopolist." Butler had already
been nominated by the anti-mOnopoly
national convention as we'll as by that of
the greenbsck party, and in the demo-
cratic convention perfor med the political
feat Of nominating himself on his own
platform. Butler Is no doubt satisfied
with his Chicago campaign.

THE weekly ALERT.
). q. WARNQCK, EDITOR.

THERE Is some kicking over the basis
Of apportionment Of the delegates to the
next territorial csnventisn as adopted by
the republican central committee. but af-
ter all the apportisnment Is perhaps as
nearly fair and equitable to oil parts Of
the territory as any that could have been
made. There is no occasion for making
war upon south Dakota on account Of
the apportionment of delegates to the
convention, and especially is it imprudent
to do so when North Dakota has every
thing to lose and nothing to gain by such
course now that the matter is lrrevoca-
bly, settled. 1t is about time to cease this
strife and bitterness between the two sec.
tons of Dakota and all work together in
harmony for the common good of the
whole territory. We will want dele
gate in congress to represent Dakota, not
alone either the northern Or southern sec.
items of it..
