Another week passed. The strain
upon the family was now almost great
er than they could bear.
Amanda had gone up to her chamber
but was unable to sleep. Her mother
softly entered her room.
''Mother?" Amanda whispered.
"Yes, dear"
Glow is Willie?"
"Better-a good deal, we think"
ooh, am so glad!' and she threw
her arms about her mothers neck, and
sobbed with joy.
When she was calmer she said, as
her mother sat by her side: II have

good girl. But now, since her thir-
teenth birthday, sad change had
come over her. frown often settled
upon her once smooth forehead, and
she went about her daily tasks not with
the old-time slzips and songs and smiles,
but in listless, disconsolate way that
did her no credit.
Amanda had recently discovered that
her father was not the rich man she
had all along thought him. 1.-THE
flock of kids" as she sometimes called
the little band of brothers and sisters
younger than herself, took so much of
her mothers time and care, and were,
withal, such romps, that it was hard
for Amanda to do her share of keeping
the house in order.
Somehow, everything seemed at this
time to disgust Amanda. For one
thing she had become very sensitive
about her "great, red hands" The re-
mark of another schoolgirl had given
her new thoughts about her hands,
although they were not out of proper
ton to her rather large frame.
81 do wish we were rich!' she would
often exclaim, looking positively homely
in her discontentment. Then she would
look out of the windows in listless,
droop-shouldered way, murmuring to
herself in this wise: "The idea of liv-
ing in house with rag carpet on the
sitting-room floor, and coming back to
its original rags at thatT'
Again she sometimes would say to
herself in strong disgust: "Amandyl

ONLY ONE ROUND.

An interesting seance was given to a few
spectators near the corner Of Douglas and
Emporia avenues last night, in which the
principal mediums were a wetl-known ply
stefan and an ex-captain of Wichita militia
with a somewhat celestial name. The
latter it appears had managed to worm
loan out of the doctor at some remote
period and when the two met last night he
was requested to pay up. This '1nsuIt"
fired the blood of the valiant veteran OF
the national guards, and he grew abusive.
The doctor was patient, then FESTIVE, then
his blood began to course and his mouth
to read the riot act He told that ex-cap-
tain that he had supposed him to be an
honest man in hard luck and that he had
violated the rules of the Merchants Pro
tective association in lending him money
when his name was on the black list, but
that he now knew him to be dead beat,
a worthless vagrant and devoid OF all prin-
cipIes of honor, and that if he would retire
with him from the main streets he would
take his money out in John Sullivan style
and would afterwards be pleased to throw
in his professional services free Of charge.
About this time the veteran called 70 some
OF his bystanders TO hold him, lest be do
his tormeutor harm, and the seance ended

The speaker then related an amusing
story, much to the amusement Of the au-

Miss limo Creditor then entertained the
guests of the association with one OF her

herself with great credit.
Brief speeches were then made by Thos.
Shaw, E. T. Allen, d. D. Leahey, Mr..
Martin and others.
The POSTMASTER then declared the pro-
gram ended and the guests abandoned
themselves TO amusements, some with
cards and the young people cleared the
hall and tripped the light fantastic to the
strains of delightful music By Shaw's or

AS banquet it was success and the
Merchants Protective association may
well feel proud of their first effort in this
line. As a POSTMASTER President Dorsey
acquitted himself with honor and appeared

early hour and all went TO their several
homes, hoping to enjoy another like &C.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.

The other evening a burglar tried TO
enter the residence OF Mr.. Hale COwley,

to the door and seeing the key turning

took hold of it and found that some one
was turning il from tie outside. He
quietly slipped into another room and not

and went back 10 the door. He removed

4 FINE SAFE.
o. z. p.

Cash Henderson has a new safe. He
left it outside the door night before last
and placed a large placard upon it bearing
the words: 'aThe New York Stores money
is in this safe.n Some enterprising party
gathered up an old hand satchel aud plac-
ing an old Ratchet, a saw, an old butcher
knife and a drill in it placed it upon the
top of the new safe and appended the fol-
lowing brief but pointed note:
"Mr. Henderson-These are tools we
opened your cheese box with last Thurs
day night, but we see YOU have purchased
regular safe we will defer operations
until we procure better tools
kid MCCoY's GANG"
The safe which Mr.. Henderson purchased
is the fastest anti-dynamite. burglar proof
Yale time-lock, or rather two locks,
of the latest patterns. 1t IS the finest piece
of mechanism the reporter ever saw. The
safe is made of the best chilled steel
throughout and seems to be perfectly safe
from the attacks of the most skilled
cracksmen for any length of time
Mr.. Edward Vail put the time locks
together yesterday and informed the
EAGLE representative that they were the
finest he had ever worked with. They
were made by the Howard Watch com
pauy, and anyone who has carried How
ard watch knows what that means. In
speaking of burglar proof safes Mr.. Vail
said the first one he ever saw was near
Chilocothe, O.. some twenty or more years
ago and was made of oak timbers four
inches square and each piece was driven
full of nails. There is quite a difference
in the safe of those days and the burglar
proof safe of today. Mr.. Henderson thinks
his money is all safe now, but he still feels
very sore over the loss of his fine mastitf.

KEEP HOUSE, YOUNG MAN.

keep house, young man; keep house."
said an old veteran in hfe's battles. Take
my notion now and keep house" He was
talking to young gentleman. who, trem-
bling on the brink of wedlock, was, and
very properly, the recipient of much
friendly advice by those around him.
You will find" continued the old stager,
"that every instinct of your coming wife
will be in favor of it. Go away by your
selves and keep house. Don't take any
one with you or have any one around.
Have a home where you and your pretty
mate can slam the door in the face of the
world and call it your kingdom. You Will
find you will be infinitely happy if you do,
and l won't insure you if you don't. Have
something for your wife to do, too. Some
thing in the way of housekeeping and re-
sponsibility. Not necessarily the washing
or coal heaving part of the program, but
something to do, and TO do every day at
that. A man or woman should have
something in the way of work-something
he or she is responsible for. do not know
of more fearful thing than woman who
absolutely has nothing TO do. So, L say
again, keep house Do it if the establish
ment is nothing grander or better than a
frying pan and fence corner"
