Everything"
'sThen I viii be at your house an
hour after dark"
We conYersed a minute or two
longer, and then he went home. at
the appointed time I entered Mr..
Kerwick's house by door in lane
which was sheltered from observa-
tion.
There I found half a dozen stout
fellows waiting.
We seated ourselves and awaited
the result.
Somewhere about l o'clock in the
morning a shutter Of the library win
dow was pried open, the window softly
raised, and two masked men entered
and struck silent match.
The instant they did so, and before
they had time to look round or de-
fend themselves. they were both firmly
seized by our men,
In less than half a minute more !
had securely clicked the handcuffs
upon their wrists.
Then a lamp was lighted. and I
tore the masks from their faces, re-
vealing the features of the brothers
M'Lysaght.
''Good-morning, gentlemen" said
I, in my most courtlv style; 81 am
glad to see you. 1t is hardly neces-
sarY to say that you were expected.
since you find US all here to receive
you. How are the dear girls? 1 hope
they have recovered from their ia
tigue of yesterday"
''You are a low, treacherous viii

Il beg your pardon sir; 1 am
not, but only humble detective. at
your service.
The two men looked perfectly
thunderstruck.
''The fact is" / continued, ''we
three have been playing little game,
and you have lost. l set a trap for
you, and you have fallen into it.
There were no two thousand pounds
here, as led those dear sweet Sis
tiers of yours to believe. That was
only little romance of mine, con-
sented to by Mr.. Kerwick, in order
to catch the burglars who robbed
him before. But l will not detain you
with further explanations; you will
probably hear more about your little
indiscretiOn at your trial.
The four women were apprehended
later in the day; and the house the
family had occupied was Thoroughly
searched; but as no stolen property
could be found on the premises. and
no discriminating evidence could be
brought against them, they were dis
charged.
In less than a week after their re-
lease from custody, the women left
the town; the two men got long terms
of penal servitude; and I received
much praise-beside something more
| tangible from Mr.. Kerwick-and felt
much satisfaction at having solved a
mystery which some of the most ex-
perienced of my professional brethren
had failed to unravel.-Yankee Blade.

logged His Memory.

The nine lives of a cat are often
difficult subject to deal with. Uncle
John Townsend had a number of cats
as his only companions in the little
farmhouse, and finally decided that
one of them must be disposed of.
His brother, who lived on an adjoin-
ing farm, offered to kill it for him.
''Well, now. Abner, calculate I'll
have you kill that black cat. He
amt no good except to eat. He won't
hunt, and won't have nOthin' round
that can't earn its own livin'; so you
jest take him off. -
So said Uncle John on The morn
ing that Abner came to fulfill his
promise.
''Kind of a likely-lookin' cat, -" ven
tured Abner.
"'Tain't any memory fer rats. re-
pied Uncle John; ''you jest take him
off,"
Abner departed with the cat and
shotgun. At night he came over
again.
'.Killed the old cat, did YEP" asked
his brother.
81 reckon I did," replied Abner;
she won't be troubled about rat
huntin' after this"
Uncle John made no reply, but
polluted toward the hearthstone,
where sat Old Blackie, as well, APP
parently, as ever.
4Well!" CALCULATED Abner in sur
prise. Then after moments silence
he turned toward his brother and
said, That's a likely cat. Kinder

The Passengers Handled BY the N w York
Central ON Decora ,Ol Day.

The passenger business of the New York
Centrals Western Division was enormous on
Decoration Day, and possibly was the larg-
est IN history.
During the entire month OF May one year
ago the number of passengers carried was
$4,000 Last Monday at Rochester alone
N,134 passengers were handled, besides
1000 or 5000 on the West Shore. Between
Buffalo and Niagara Falls over 500 were
transported, exclusive of the business of the
main line trains. making total of IS, 900,
and counting the people on the main line
trains would probably bring it up to 35, 600.

ThIeving Dogs.

1t is well known that oogs are
readily taught to steal During the
last century when sheep stealing was
a very common crime in Scotland, the
thieves were always much assisted by
their collie dogs, which were very
carefully educated for the purpose.
1t is recorded that one famous thief
on the Borders used to go about ac-
cOmpanied by his dog pretending to
buy sheep, and while handling them
pointed out to his collie by certain
signs the animal which he wished to
steal At night the dog went to the
flock, singled out the particular sheep
and conducted it to its master by by
paths and unfrequented routes
Eventually both the thieves-hu-
man and canine-Were discovered, ana
both were publicly hanged. Some
times the dogs stole sheep on their
own account. killed them, ana buried
their carcaSSes, on which they after
wards supped with their own familiar
cronies.
