Recent years have witnessed a great
improvement in the methods of remov-
ing snow from the village sidewalks.
This winter the work is done by Robert
Steele and Chas. Lyman. Now, wouldn't
it be good scheme for the trustees to
provide for the sanding of the sidewalks
when they are covered with ice, as
frequently happens?
Complaints are sometimes heard that
village affairs don't 90 quite right. 1t is
not our purpose now to discuss the ques-
ton whether such fault-finding is justified,
but to suggest that the voters ought all
to come out to the annual meeting and
do their duty as citizens. Then, if things
go wrong, they wont have themselves to
blame.

 "An' Pm to be done out of my lard earned tin, s'elp rneq' yelled the old fury. "Cuss ye, I'll lave the lawr of ye, and get you put in quod."
 You'll go there yourself if you don't take care," said Kilsip, in his soft, purring tones

 And the old fury, to prove the truth of her words, danced kind of war dance in front of MT. Calton. snapping her fingers and yell ing out curses, as an accompaniment to her ballet. Her luxurious white hair got loose, and streamed out during her gyrations, and what with her grotesque looks and the faint light of the candle, she looked grewsome spectacle. Cation, remembering the tales he had heard of the women of Paris at the Rev olution, and the way they danced "La Car magnole," thought that Mother Guttersnipe would have been in her element in that sea of blood and turbulence. He, however. merely shrugged his shoulders and walked out of the room, as with a final curse, deliv- cred in hoarse voice, Mother Guttersnipe sank exhausted on the floor, and yelled for gin.

 "Cuss 'emI' crooked Mother Guttersnipe drowsily, eI'l tear their 'earts out"
 'I think I must have gone mad, must, 1" said Sal, pushing her tangled hair off her forehead; "for after left the Chiner cove, I went on walkin' and walkin' right into the bush, a-tryin' to cool my lead, for it felt on fire like. l went into river an' got wet, an then took my lat and boots orf en' lay down on the grass; an then the rain comed on, an walked to a 'ouse as was near, where they looked me in.

 "Cuss ye," said the old woman, but in such 8 tender tone that it sounded like blessing; then, rather ashamed of the momentary emo tion, she hastily wound up, "Go to ell"
 "And did the people who took you in never tell you anything about the murdera" asked Calton.
 Sal shook her head.

CHAPTER XVIII

SAL RAwLINS TELLS ALL SHE KNOWS.
 And, indeed, such was the case Sal Raw lins had made her appearance at the eleventh hour, to the heartfelt thankfulness of Calton, who saw in her an angel from heaven, sent to save the life of an innocent man. Lawyer Calton and kilsip went to the humble abode of Mrs Rawlins. familiarity known as Mother Guttersnipe. When they entered the squalid, dingy passage that led to Mother Guttersnipes abode, they saw a faint light streaming down the stair. AS they climbed up the shaky stair, they could hear the rancorous voice of the old bag pouring forth alternate blessings and curses her prodigal offspring, and the low tones of @ girls voice in reply. On entering the room Calton saw that the sick woman who had been lying in the corner on the occasion of his last visit was gone. Mother Guttersnipe was seated in front of the deal table, with c broken cup and her favorite bottle of spirits before her. She was evidently going to have a night of it, in order to celebrate Sal's re- turn, and had commenced early, so as to lose no time. Sal herself was seated on broken chair, and leaned wearily against the wall She stood up as Gallon and the detective en- tered, and they saw she was tall, slender woman of about 9, not bad looking, but with pallid and haggard face She was dressed in kind of tawdry blue dress, much soiled and torn, and had an old tartan shawl over her shoulders, which she drew tightly across her breast as the strangers entered. Her grandmother, who looked more weird and grotesquely horrible than ever, saluted Calton and the detective on their entrance with shrin yell and a volley of choice language.
 Kilsip paid no attention to her. but turned to the girl
 SfThis is the gentleman who wants to speak to you," he said gently, making the girl sit on the chair again, for indeed she looked too ill to stand. "Just tell him what you told me-"
 "'Bout the 'Queen,' sirr' said Sal, in a low, hoarse voice, fixing her wild eyes On Calton. If I'd only known as you was a-wantin' me I'd lave come afore."
 "Where were your asked Calton, in pity ing tone

Another Clarion County Robbery.

Sunday forenoon last, while all the
household we're at Church, about two
miles distant, the dwelling Of Mr.
Philip Wolf, a well.to do farmer, living
about two miles west of Newmanville,
Clarion county, was entered by thieves
through window in the rear of the
house. When the family returned
they found the carpets torn up, a bu.
reau and trunk broken open, and the
house generally ransacked. Two
hundred and twenty dollars in money,
which had been secreted in the trunk,
we're found missing. The thieves we're
evidently fond of the good things of
this life, for they also visited the cellar
where they confscated a cake which it
had doubtless been intended should do
service at the dinner hour when the
family returned. Whether or not
more than one person was engaged in
the theft is not known, neither were
any clues left as to the perpetrator or
perpetrators.
