and see II any OF them were too tightly
drawn.
Its all nonsense, sir, said he, when
he had finished the examination; mot
one Of the ropes Is bit too tight. All
they want is a chance 70 pull out their
ugly hands"
"Of course" said Aunt Martha, 'if it
would be unsafe % loosen the knots
wouldn't do it. Are they TO be sent 70
prison?"
YES" said I; "as soon as the day
breaks l shall send down for the po-
lice"
| now heard a slight sound at the
door, and, turning, saw Alice, our maid
of the house, who was peeping in at the
door Alice was modest girl and quito
pretty.
II heard the noise and the talking.

"And where is tho cook" asked my
wife; don't she want TO sec burglars?"
Not bit of it," answered Alice, very
emphatically; "as soon as / told her
what Il was she covered up her head with
the bed-clothes and declared, ma'sm,
that she would never get up until they
were entirely gone out of the house"
At this the stout man grinned.

heads" he said The tall man looked
at him severely, and he said no more.
David did not move from his post near
the three burglars, but he turned toward
Alice and looked at her. We knew that
he had tender feelings toward the girl
and think that he did not approve Of
her being there.
"Have they stolen any thing7" asked
Aunt Martha.
They have not had any chance to
take any thing away" I said; and my
wife remarked that whether they had
stolen any thing or not they had made
a dreadful mess on the floor, and had
broken the table. They should certain
ly be punished.
At this she made a motion as If she
would leave the room, and an anxious
expression Immediately came on the
face Of the tall man, who had evidently
been revolving something in his mind.
Madam" he said, ''ee are very sorry
that we have broken your table and
that we have damaged some of your

In the course of a lengthy editorial
ON the unfair discrimination practiced
against the South by Western Repub.
Kcan Senators IN voting against the
Bill to abolish the duty on cotton
BaggIng the Chicago Tribune, Re-
publican, says:
Those Western Senators who are
congratulating themselves on having
secured free binding Irvine must look
out. The House has yet to act on the
amendment. If they do not take care
. feeling of natural indignation will
prompt the Southern members to vote
with the Republican servitors of the
Eastern mill bosses in the House and
kill the amendment. The Southern
Republicans may join resentfully in
such Tetaliative move. So before il
rs too late the Western Senators
should put cotton bagging on the free
kss alongside of binding Irvine and
deal honestly and fairly by the black
and white planters of eleven Southern
States. Itisnot fair to kill q Northern
trust on Western farmers and leave
another one free to practice its leech.
like instincts on the farmers of the
SousA. IF both are not killed the
mill bosses friends will manage to
saye both and keep right on sucking
the blood out of both Western farm
sEs and Southern planters.
