Bird he said, ''come and catch
them"
But the deacon was afraid that the
rascals might do him mischief. So
he locked the door of the back room,
making Dick prisoner with the high
men, and ran off after constable.
He was back presently with burly
Bill Barrett, who had locked up many
sinner. Pushing the constable
ahead, the deacon, well covered by
his broad shoulders, entered the back
store.
"Where be they?" he asked, for
getting grammar.
"Don't you see them?" asked
Dick pointing to score of bold in
ders,-"Now, Mr.. Barrett, now's
your chance"
Mr.. Barrett laughed, loud, roar
ing laugh.
"Bees, by my yardstick p said the
deacon. "Boy, you may have the

But somehow the story got OUT

store. What child living in the coun-
try has not seen just such store? 1t
has barrels of potatoes, kegs of mo-
lasses, piles of Goldfish, and on the
counters pieces of pink-and-white
calico for little folks frocks and
aprons. There is always glass
showcase in this kind of a store,
where are kept pen-knives and thin
bles and letter-paper, perhaps little
case of glittering fnger-rings. And
behind the show case on high shelves
there are glass jars full of candy.
Fascinating sticks, penny apiece,
some white, some red, some with rib
bon-like stripes, are in these jars, and
pink cinnamon lozenges, and delicious
lemon drops.
Besides having all these melt-in-
your-mouths to sell, Deacon Bird
dealt in honey. A few boxes of the
sweet golden stuff always stood at the
back of the store near a window.
One Summer day Deacon Bird dis
covered that a large part of the honey
had been taken from one of the boxes.
Had his little GRAND boy, Dick,
sweet tooth?
"Come here, you Dick said the
deacon.
Dick came, barefooted, curly
headed, with his ragged straw hat in
his hand.
''Have you been meddling with my
honey, sir?"
"No, sir.
"Prove that you haven't by find
ing out the thief" said the deacon.
"Do you hear?"
Poor Dick! How was he to find
out the thief? A few days passed,
and another box was nearly emptled.
'Ive watched" said the deacon,
"and no boy goes into that back
store hut yourself. If you don't
clear up this mystery in week, you
leave my store. | want no thieves in
my place."
To be called a thief! That was
harder than hard work. Dick would
have left the deacon's employ that
very minute, had it not been that his
father was poor man, with little
ones younger than Dick to clothe and
feed. No, he must stay and find the
culprit.
One day Dick went into the back
room and sat down on bag of meal.
The deacon had gone home to dinner,
and Dick was tending store. But
there were no customers; and the
boy, feeling very disheartened, sat
down among the barrels to think what
he should do if the deacon turned
him away. Suddenly he heard a
sound which caused him to look up.
"Aha!" said Dick, "there are the
thieves!"
There they were, indeed, talking
away to each other, coming and 60
ing out, as busy and important as if
their doings were honest and above
board. Above-board they really were,
for not one of the pilfering gentry
made the slightest pretence to Sc
crecy.

here" said Dick, "and he may catch
you if he can. I guess he'll have a

But the Members Send Senator Delamater

THE FIGURES NOT FORTHCOMING,
ATTEMPTS TO HIDE THE BAD NEWS.
Several Members Linger After Midnight to Ponder
Over the Returns.

At the Americus Club rooms at 1 o'clock
this morning only handful of members
were present. The wire had ceased its
click, and the little company
that remained was not In
cheerful frame of mind. Several were
lowering over gas jet mysteriously count
ing figures, when one of them said: II un-
derstand some one has received telegram
here saying, 'Delamater running behind.

any man has such telegram he ought to
make it known to protect us"

500 now that Delamater is elected"
NO MONEY PUT Up.
"No, no." the others answered in unison.
''It isn't necessary to put up money. The
election is all right
About this time the reporter asked the
crowd what were the latest returns at the
club.
Everything is very satisfactory" re-
marked one of them. "How is it on the
street," The question was not answered.
1t was quite apparent that despite their
protests the boys were not altogether satis-
fed with the figures.
Other members stated that the reports were
not assuring after II o'clock, and some
wanted to see the figures for the claim of
10000 made by Senator Quay early
in the evening. About II o'clock
| the operator at the club rooms
asked the operator in Philadelphia
how it was going, and he nearly fell off the
chair when the reply came back: "Patti-
son is elected" This threw wet blanket
on the enthusiasm of many, as the
answer is supposed to have come as
a private tip from the Republican head
quarters. This put some of the
boys to thinking. and when they began to
examine the accepted returns in detail they
found that Delamater would have to pull
up somewhere if he expected to be elected.
HOPING TO THE LAST.
On the other hand, some of the members
are still very hopeful, and they can't see
how the State went Democratic.
"Well. if Pattison is elected, this is the
end of Quay in Pennsylvania" chimed in
one of the boys who probably had been
training with the other side and was anxious
to see such an outcome. However, the club
sent the following congratulatory message
to Mr.. Delamater:
Accept sincere congratulations of your fell
low members of the Americus Republican
Club on your well-merited election as Governor
of this grand old Commonwealth. We trust
that your grand majority will prove a rebuke
to the arch enemy. Democracy. and their allies.
the so-called Independents, that they may
know tor all time that SANDER never did win.
The truth is mighty and will prevail. Allie
gheny county will give you 1000 majority at
least. We will attend your Inauguration.

ON THEIR TRAIL.
POLICE HUNTING FOR THE TARENTUM
BURGLARS,

A Vague Description of the Men-Officer
Mateer Describes His Battle with the
Thieves-An Engineers Failure to Ar
rest the Shooter to be Investigated.
Special Officer Finney, of the West Penn
Railroad, came to police headquarters yes
terday and furnished Assistant Superin-
tendent O'Mara with descriptions of the
men who committed the robbery and shot Of
fcer Mateer at Tarentum Monday night He
said MaUeer was still living, and physicians did
not seem to think there was any immediate
danger of his death. Only one shot took effect
instead of three, as at first reported. Only two
were fired at him. one striking button on the
front of Matters coat and glanced off without
injuring him. The other shot struck him Just
under the left shoulder blade. 1t has not been
found, although the physicians have probed
for IL.
Finney says the three robbers were about
Tarentum from o'clock in the afternoon, hav-
ing come in on freight train from Apollo.
Ihey were seen early in the evening by Mrs
Beall. One of them was standing in front of
kennedelPs jewelry store, comparing his watch
with the regulator. which he could see through
the window. Mrs Beall came To the door of
her store and the man stepped mp 20 her, ask
ing where the jewelcr was. He seemed pleased
when she told him that Mr.. Kennerdell had
closed up for the night and gone home. She
describes this man as large man of dark COM
plex1On, about 30 years of age.
The impression prevails at Tarentum that
the thieves intended robbing the jewelry store
and expected to gain an entrance through the
rear of the beall clothing store, failing in which
they bundled up all the clothing they could
carry and we're leaving with it when discovered
One of the stolen overcoats was found near
where Mateer was shot yesterday. 1t had a
bullet hole through the front of it, and Mateer
thinks it was worn by the man at whom he
fired after he fell. He says he fired one shot at
the man. who first drew revolver on him. The
man fell, but Immediately arose and started
away. When Natter caught up to the men he
caught hold of one big man whose description
tailed exactly with the one described by Mrs
Beall. The fellow offered no resistance, al
though he had hanGybilly in his hand, and
after the train started this same man got on the
engine of the passenger train and asked to ride
to the next station. When put off by Engineer
Poorman. he lett his billy lying on the floor of
the engine Engineer Poorman's conduct in
not making an effort tn secure this man is to he
investigated by the railroad officials He could
rot, it is alleged, nave failed to know that he
was one of the pursued party, as he was an eye
witness Of the shooting.
The chances of capturing the fugitives are
not bright They were last seen Just opposite
Cheswick station, seven miles below Taren-
tum by Station Agent Armstrong, at 5 clock
yesterday morning. They were trying to cross
the Allegheny river, but failing they walked on
down along the river bank.
