THE result Of the election on the Pro

about as bad as it can be, and the only
satisfaction which the friends Of the

worse. .-Doylestown Intelligencer

A MEMBER Of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union in Philadelphia is
quoted as saying yesterday: IF all the
young men in Philadelphia now 60 down
to drunkards graves it won't worry me.
1t used to be that when l saw a young
man in liquor / thought, oh. what can |
do to save himY " She should go home
and mind her own business. If she has
none to mind she should find some. "She
considereth field and buyeth it; with the
fruit Of her hands she planteth vine
yard. She looketh well to the ways of her
household, and esteth not the bread of
idleness. That was in an estimate of a
wise, decent and useful woman made
5000 years ago. 1t is true now. Sew
ersl women have been known TO be
instrumsets, in educating worthy and
aoble-sons and daughters by staying at
home and mindiDg their own business.

burglar exhibited no emotion. His expression
indicated that. having been caught. he expected
to be sent to jail, and that the end of it,
Perhaps he had been through this experience
so often that he had become used to ii. The
tall man. however, took the announcement in a
very different way. His face grew dark and his
eyes glittered You are making a great mis-
take, he said TO me, IA very great mistake
and you will have to bear the consequences"
Very good" said l. Il will remember that
remark when your trial comes on"
The behavior of the young man was unex-
ceptiOnal. He looked upon US with face full
OF happy gratitude, and. he thanked us for
the kind favor and the justice which we had
shown him. his eyes seemed dim with tears
Aunt Martha was much affected.

mother is more. If had thought of her sooner
l would have spoken more strongly in his favor.
And now you should unite him at once and le.
him go home. His wife must be getting terri
bly, anxious
The young man overheard this last remark.
You will confer very great favor on me,
sir. he said, IF you will let me depart as soon
as possible. l feel a great repugnance to be
seen in company with these men. as you NAV
imagine, from wearing a mask on coming here

considered the situation. II did what
was asked there would be two bound burglars
to guard, three women and child to protect
an uncertain stranger at liberty and only
David and myself to attend to the whole bust
ness. No, sir" said l. Il shall not unite YOU
until the officers l sent for are near at hand:
then will release you, and You can leave the
house by the back way without being seen by
them. There are other morning trains which
will take you into the city early enough"
Il think you are a little hard on him." re-
marked Aunt Martha, but the young man made
no complaint

former, what you intend to do in regard to
rs. 1t cannot be that you think Of placing that
young gentleman and myself in the hands of
the law. OF course, this man, pointing to the
stout burglar, 'cannot expect anything but a
just punishment of his crimes, but after what
we have told you, you must certainly be con-
WINGED that our connection with the affair is
entirely blameless and should be considered as
apiece of very bad luck"
That" said /, lis matter which will re-
ceive all the consideration it needs"
- At this moment David announced the milk
man. CCunselling my man to keep strict guard
over the prisoners / went out to the road
stopped the milkman and gave him a message
which was certain would insure the prompt
arrival at my house Of sufficient force to take
safe charge of the burglars. Excited with the
importance Of the commission the milkman
whipped up his horse and dashed away.
When returned to the house / besought nv
wife and aunt Martha to 20 to bed that they
mishtyet get some hours of sleep, but both re-
fused They did not feel in the least like sleep
and there was a subject on which they wished

Now" said Aunt Martha. when the door had
been closed, these men have freely told us
their stories. whether they are entirely true or
not, must, of course, be a matter of opinion
but they have laid their cases before u. and
We should not place them all in the hands of
the officers of the law without giving them due
consideration and arriving at a decision which
shall be satisfactory to ourselves"

and take him to the back Of the house before
the officers and their followers had entered the
front door. There was now a great deal of
! questioning great deal of xplanaton a great
deal OF discussion to whether my way of
| catching burglars was advisable or not and a
good deal of talk about the best method of

were IN favor Of releasing the two men and
then deciding in what manner they should be

| adopted L believe that these two alert and
practical rascals would have taken themselves
out OF my house. without the assistance of the

deal OF trouble and perhaps injury in endeav-
| oring to do so.
But the chief of police was of my mind. and
before the men were entirely released from the
ropes, by which had tied them, they were Sc

ii was true, but it no reason for this rather
obtrusiye air of exultation. Just then Alice

and the young man stepped back SO that she
did not notice him. AS she passed he gently
threw his arm quietly around her neck and
kissed her.
At that very instant, even before the girl
had time to exclaim, in rushed David from the
outer side door.
