time it was decided to have a watch meeting"
 Not an ordinary watch meeting, but a big one--a union meeting in which tile congregations of the four churches of the village were to unite and wait in prayer for the going out of the old year and hail with praise the coming in of the new.
 John Marston, the villages leading representative abroad, was expected to be there, and on New Years night he was to have grand party at the Mars ton home, where all might welcome him back again.
 In the preliminary preparations Mary Palvey was unusually active, if it was unusual for the busy little woman to be active on any occasion of this kind, and there was a cheery light in her face which made her very presence warm, albeit a flecking cloud fell athwart it at intervals and left shadow there.
 For Mary's head and her heart had not been harmonious during the three years gone, and more than one disagree Ment had arisen between them over tbis same Marston-Palvey matter, and was at this very moment trying to sct7 their last contention.
 Watch night came, and everybody was there except John Marston.
 "Train delayed" they said at the rail way station, and you know how much further information is always obtaina- ble under such circumstances from rail way officials.
 As the night wore on and the watchers grew more silent, the solemnity of the hour seeming to descend upon the place as great weight. Mary could endure it no longer. Quietly and unobserved she slipped out into the open air.
 It was relief to her, and she walked away into the stiffness under the voice less stars, over the crisp and crystal snow, until she came to the little chapel at the edge of the town where on Sun days she played the organ for the choir.
 Unconsciously she turned into the churchyard.
 She knew where the sexton kept the key under a corner of the step, and opening the door, she passed in and down the aisle to her accustomed place.
 The chapel was not cold, for services had been held there earlier in the even- ing, but she drew her heavy cloak about her shoulders with a little shiver and sat down on the organ stool.
 But not with music or song in her heart.
 She had waited for John and he had not come.
 She had longed for him and there was no response.
 She had wept for him, down there among the watchers, and she was angry with herself.
 But here, alone in the silent darkness, she bowed her head upon her hands and prayed.
 Prayed that he might come safely home; prayed for him and for her.
 Evidently Mary's heart was triumph ing over her head, but the end was not yet.
 It lacked but few minutes until mid night, she knew, and she arose to go back
Arizona republican., 1892-01-01

 to the meeting, so that her absence might not be observed and commented upon at the conclusion of the services, when she heard mans footfall on the steps out side.
 Her heart beat quick at first, for Mary had read novels, and she knew that lovers sometimes came to their sweet hearts thus; but this was not the fearless tread of hero.
 It was stealthy, so stealthy that if her ear had not been accustomed to every noise about the familiar old building she might not haze noted it.
 It was a burglar, she was certain, af- ter that first heart thump, for it was known the communion plate was of sil- yer and worth at least enough to tempt a rural robber, and everybody knew the strong box of the chapel was strong box only in name. She was frightened nearly out of her senses, but enough remained to warn her that her only safety lay in hiding behind the organ and giving the thief the right of way to everything in his path.
 Slowly. she heard that dreadful step tipping along the aisle, creaking as it came. She had to exert every energy or her will to keep from screaming, and the slip-slip-creak-creak came nearer and nearer.
 At the end of the aisle it stopped, as if in doubt which way to turn, and her heart beat slower; then it passed, still slipping, over to the other corner, and she gave faint sigh of relief.
 She couldn't have prevented 1t If she bad died for it, she was certain. On the instant the sickening, awful, invisible stepping ceased; then it seemed to turn toward her.
 Nearer and nearer it came, until she could hear the breathing, until the hands cautiously groping in the dark slid along the organ top and touched | her.
 She shrank away, but there was a ! quick start and two great hands clutched her, and their fingers crawled up to her throat.
 She tried to scream then, but she

coula not.
 It was as if she was in a frightful nightmare.
 "Hold on! I've got you, you alarmed thief!' came voice, suppressed and ter rible, and with it came the last remain ing vestige of poor Mary's wits.
 "Oh, Johnw she gasped.
 Then she tainted dead away.
 "Well, if this don't beat allv' ex- claimed the marauder out of the dark ness, Then: Mary, Mary" he called, shaking her vigorously. Scared the poor girl to death, I'll bet corner lot" he soliloquized in ludicrously fright ened voice, with the vernacular of the east and the west eontending for mastery in his words.
 He picked her up, now almost as nerv- ous as she had been only few moments before, and carried her outside.
 He looked down upon the still, white face as the light from the snow shone upon it, and with great bound in his heart he stopped and kissed her.
 Then how all the little stars did twinkle, twinkle, and Mary opened her eyes.
 The next moment she was on her feet and mad.
 Mary's head was triumphing now.
 "Come," she said, "theres watch meeting at the hall, Mir. Marston, and should be there; not here."
 With your hand in mine, Mary" he answered her, standing fast.
 She put her hand in his then, anG thus they walked back, and as the watchers rose from their knees with song of re- joicing and praise, John and Mary, hand in hand, came in with the new year.
 "It's funny" said Mrs. Marston a month later on the local train west, ''that John should have noticed the chapel door ajar on his way from the depot that night, and thinking a thief was inside had come in and caught me there, wasn't it."
 "Yes'm," responded the conductor, who had known her from childhood, "and if I hadn't been late that night there's no telling what wouldn't have happened either, is there?"
 And there isn't.

Hounded by Plnkerton Defostlyes.

PTTTsBURG, March Pa young man CIV
ing the name of Joseph Henselman. of San
Francisco, entered the police station last
night and said he had just received letter
from his mother in San Francisco warning
him against Pinkerton detectives, who, she
asserted, were on his track for the alleged
em6ezzlement of $1,000 from the Overland
Stage and Transfer company. The young
man said he was innocent OF the charges
that he had been criven about the country
for some months past by Pinkerton men.
Henseiman admitted holding position of
trust several years with the Over
land Stage and Transfer company
and that shortly before the Glen
dale robbery he was approached by
Pinkerton men and offered a bride to tell
who committed the robbery. He denied
all knowledge of the matter, but was
Swallowed and finally openly accused of
being implicated in the affair. He con-
cluded In order to avoid further trouble to
leave the west. He went TO Mexico, thence
TO Chicago, where the detectives again
found him and have been following MIN
ever since. The lieutenant in charge OF
the station, after hearing mis- story, locked
the man up in order to make an investiga-
ton. The San Francisco authorities have
been requested TO forward information.
In court this morning Henselman was
sent to the work house Tor thirty days.

The U. c. Wreck.

The victims of the Utah Central train
wreck were not so badly smashed up as at
first reported. j. j. DAILY, manager of the
DAILY West mine at Park City, although
somewhat bruised, was about town yester-
day apparently all right. F. c. Gentsch,
agent of the Southern Pacific Express
company, is still at Park City. He is suf-
fering from dislocation of the right shout
der, but is able to get around. Some of the
passengers on the Inflated train came to
Salt Lake via the Union Pacific and others
still remain at Park City. The Utah Cen
trial track is now all right and the trains
got through yesterday on time. A large
force of men were Immediately put to
work TO repair the defective portion of
the track, and it was very quickly put in
order. The engineer states tuat when the
car tipped over the train was running at a
speed Of only eight miles an hour Had
the speed been greater the result would
have been much more serious.
The injured passengers were given every
care by the company. There are no,
likely TO be any damage suits commenced,
as the road is mortgaged up to the hilt, and
the impossibility of getting anything Out
of the company is recognized.
