RIvRR PIRArEs CAUGHT.
Gang of Youthful Thieves Taken at
Their Work,

Their Work,
Willie Wright. David Holmes, Frank
Smith and Thomas Maxwell, four colored
| youths, varying from IL to II years Of age,
were arrested yesterday by Constable Harti-
| gan OF Justice Endres' court, charged with
stealing ropes and copper from lighters and
/ vessels In the river.
| The thieves operations were observed
yesterday afternoon from the rear balcony
of Wilcox, Gibbs g. Co.'s Office, where
they were seen to steal q rope
from the lighter Isabella and chuck
it into bag. They we're using boat for
this purpose. Willie Wright, the smallest
Of the party, was holding the bag and the
else that came handy.
Constable Hartigan was notified and sue
oeeded in catching the boy Wright on the
wharf. He strongly denied his guilt at
first, but efterward confessed and implica-
ted his partners. They were also
picked up along the wharf by Con-
stable HartiRan, assisted by Consta-
bic Eady (colored }. and the whole
gang was taken to Justice Endres' Office.
Wright and Holmes are very small boys
while Smith and Maxwell appear TO be 10
or II years old The two first named said
that they were employed by the two older
boys 70 90 around with them and take care
OF WHAT lucy bLOle huu d1leEWaFu ulHpOSe OF
the articles for them. They were com
mitted to jail by Justice Endres on the
charge Of larceny.
The boys said they had no residence and
appeared TO be regular wharf rats.
The stealing of this kind upon the river
has proved very annoying to the shipping
and to the lightersge company especially.
The practice OF the thieves is TO go along the
river in q small boat, outing a rope here
and tearing piece OF copper from the hull
of q vessel there until they have secured ali
they can carry. The shipping people do
not mind so much the loss Of what ia
stolen, as they do the damage resulting.
The thieves cut the ropes holding boats and
lighters 10 the shore and leave the craft to
drift out into the stream and crash into
river boats or be run down by vessel or
tug.
This Is q constant source of danger. The
shipping and lighteraRe people will be glad
TO see few convictions Of this class Of law
breakers.
The boy David Holmes was observed by
the watchman on Wilcox d Gibbs wharf
holding the bag for the other thieves and it
was afterward placed aboard OF a small
shopping laying at the market dock. The
watchman awaited his opportunity and
caught Holmes. He was after ward turned
over to Justice Endres.

Col Lester Is Ready for the Tenth
District Agitator.
Hon. Rufus E. Lester is at home this
week, taking rest after last weeks cam
paiRn in the country. He is very we'll
pleased With the outlook. He says the demo-
Gratis of the First district are wide awake
and are straining each nerve to prevent the
loss OF single county to the democracy.
At Reidsville in Tattnell county, the third
party stronghold in the district, last Satur-
day Gen. Gordon and Col Lester were given
a rousin2 reception. They were listened
to by between 1900 and 8, 900 people, over
1000 of whom were voters and tho major
1ty OF whom were democrats. Col. Lester
says he thinks now that Peter Clifton will
carry Tattnan county In October and that
it will go democratic again In November.
Col. Lester has not made any engage
ments for this week. but may make a few
speeches the latter part of the week. He
said that he has no objections to meeting
Tom Watson at Sylvsnia or any other
point that will be convenient to both. He
is not inclined to accept Mr.. Wilson's terms
however, but wants an even division of
time and favors when be meets the great
agitator from the Tenth district.
Col. Lester laughed when he was asked
about the challenge of George H. Miller,
the third party champion in Chatham
county. He said he would not know
whether to meet Mr.. Miller as a candidate
for senator from this district or as a candi-
date for elector on the third party ticket,
His name is up for both places at present.
Col. Testers friends are not asleep. A
caravan OF democratic speakers, headed by
Hon. Alfred Harrington Of Emanuel, Hon.
W. Fl. Davis of Burke. aud T. E. Oliver Of
Scriven will make two weeks tour of the
district, beginning at Ohoopee Thursday.
They will make speeches each day through
Tattnall, Liberty and other counties. AS
campaigners this trio Is hard to beat.

Olive drew long breath. She would
have given anything for the power Of
glancing up into his face with her old
frank smile-the smile that he had
scared away. She could only murmur
something which was drowned In the
rattle of the cab, and he thought again
how dull and commonplace she had
grown.
II was well that the drive was not
long, for IL was becoming intolerable
TO them both. The clattering cab
stopped at last in the middle Of a
crowded thoroughfare, and Michael
told her that this was the Strand and
here was Uncle Wakes shop.
Out of the shop door bolted an eager
lad, head foremost, and received Olives
box upon his willing back. She her
self seemed TO stumble blindly after
him into place that was a den Of
darkness; but from the gloom came o
mans CHEEKY voice, full and deep.

whining Ball.n Horues.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
press continually admonishes whom 1t
may concern that It does no good to
whip or pound n bally horse, almost
every owner or driver Of one does It to-
day. It is probably the greatest piece
of horse folly In existence. 1t Is not a
remnant of barbarism, but II Is contin-
ual bar barism, and brings out what
original and acquired sin there Is in a
man. The brain OF a horse can retain
but one idea at time. II the idea is
10 sull, whipping only intensifies It..
A change of that idea, then, is the only
successful method Of management.
This may be accomplished in scores Of
ways, a few Of which will be named.
Tie a handkerchief about his eyes; tie
his tail tightly TO the bellyband or
backband; fasten stick in his mouth;
tie cord tightly about his leg;uncheck

were setting off on your journey; and
'Tv kept it all these months. Good-by,
Olive; if you ever want home, child,
come back to me-"
The cart moved off. Olive, seated on
her box, looked back on the little group
at the gate, and waved to them until
turn in the road hid them from her
sight. Her driver was old and deaf,
and did not talk to anyone but his
horse, and she could open the sealed
letter in peace. It contained FIVE
pound note and three words, written in
feeble hand: "With Lucy's love"
1t was the last proof of her friends
thoughtful care. She kissed the
written words and put the treasure in
safe place. The old horse logged on;
the old driver cheered him in husky
tone, and Olive sat silently watching a
few white clouds travelling slowly
across the fresh blue sky. Here and
there, in cottage garden, there was
cherry tree in full bloom, lifting up a
dome of silver blossom; but the spring
was advancing with tardy footsteps,
and only few flowers were scattered
over the expectant earth.
They came at last to the railway
station, and Olive watched for the train
with athrobbing heart. The waiting was
soon over, her seat was taken, and she
was speeding on and on to her new life
before she had quite realized that she
had done with the old.
Some minutes went by before she
was composed enough to observe her
fellow travellers; but presently baby,
sitting on the lap of rosy mother,
gave crow of delight at the basket of
flowers. Smiles and pleasant words
followed, but Olive was in no mood for

How New York Typewrlters Take Advan-
tage Of Odd Time.
Typewriters in some of the down
town offices are learning trick of
trade that promises to fill many spare
moment with profit. The typewriting
business is variable one. There are
many hours in it that are wholly idle,
when time hangs. On busy days, on
the other hand, callers are frequently
turned away, so great is the rush of
business 1t happens in the majority
of cases that men are not in so much OF
a hurry for typewriter copy as they
are to dictate what they have in mind
and be rid of II. They can wait few
hours or a day or more for the copy
when once It Ia practically disposed OF
by dictation. Herein lies the Office Of
the phonograph. A caller, finding the
typewriter occupied, can step into a
corner and talk at phonograph what
he wants TO say. The operator takes
out the sheet and lays It away for a
leisure moment When that moment
arrives the phonograph repeats the die
tation at speed easily regulated. The
device saves time to the one debating,
for the phonograph will take speech as
fast as IL can be uttered. 1t serves,
also, TO give the typewriters occupation
in hours that would be otherwise idle,
and no business need now be turned
away. Those who are employing the
device find that IL works very WE'LL

"She's come too late for that" sighed
another voice, thin and melancholy.
1--WE are old already, Samuel, and you
know it well enough"
II won't admit it for a moment" the
first speaker replied. Nothing ages
people more than talking about their
age
"Oh, Samuel We ought willingly to
acknowledge the days Of the years of
our pilgrimage, even If we call them
few and evil, as the patriarch Jacob
did"
Jacob was always fond Of running
himself down; but he feathered his
nest we'll, and that's thing that
never could do. Olive, my dear, your
uncle can't feast you on the fat of the
land, but he can give you plenty of
love-"
Never did any promise seem sweeter
to famished heart. In an instant
Olive forgot her shyness and made
straight for the large substantial figure
which was now becoming visible. Her
eyes were getting accustomed to the
twilight of the room behind the shop,
and she had returned Uncle Wakes
hearty kiss and was clinging to him,
when some one lighted lamp. Then
bright clear light illumined the little
parlor, and she saw the gray head and
kindly face of the bookseller.
lie was an ample man. Nature, when
she fashioned him, had not been stinted
for material: he had a large body, and
his head and face were large, too. The
thick gray hair looked like mop Of
short curls, keen gray eyes twinkled
good-hmnoredly under shaggy eye
brows, and the well-cut mouth and
chin denoted firmness and good sense.
Any physiognomist would have said
that It was the face Of man who was
sure to succeed in life; but as regarded
worldly gains, Samuel Wake was decid-
edly an unquestionable failure. He
had had his chances and had been
master Of shop and business of his
own, and yet here he was at sixty
eight in the position of servant, taxi
ing care of another mans shop and sell
ling another mans goods. 1t was no
wonder if Michael, in his energetic
struggle to get to the front, looked back
sometimes with quiet contempt on Sam
uel Wake.
"There's a look of my poor Ruth
| about you," he said; and the deep voice
softened as old memories came back.
81 know why they call you Olive, it was
your grandmother's name. You never
saw her, but / knew her well. Pm
glad they have given her name to you,
my child, for hers was spirit of
peace"
Mrs. Wake was a woman of fragile
and shadowy aspect. When she was
young she must have been fair and
slender like an elfin maiden, with a
kind Of moonlight prettiness of her
own; but now she was so white and
wan that you almost expected her to
vanish She always wore shawl and
large shapeless cap, and there was
never any touch of decided color about
her Dress Even her voice was faint
and thin and seemed to come from a
long way off; and altogether she was
such shade that there was not enough
of her TO be loved. You might like hel
and regard her as sort Of harmless
ghost, who wandered about the house
and waz@l feebly over the shortcom
ings Of humanity.

CHAPTER V.
OLIVES WELCOME.

The journey seemed tedious and long
to Olive, sitting in the corner of the
third-class carriage with her basket of
flowers in her lap. AS the train drew
near London she was seized with in
ward quaking and misgivings, and
looked down upon the flowers as If they
could give her comfort. But the breath
of the hyacinths was sadly sweet, and
reminded her of that grave on which
she had laid her Easter wreath. Was
it gloomy omen that thought of
death should come to her, just as she
was entering a new path in life?
And then she recalled her last walk
with Michael, on that April Sunday
evening that seemed so long ago. His
earnest voice sounded in her ears once
more; his eyes looked into hers with
passionate tenderness; the memory was
so sweet that it made her heart throb
fast and flushed her cheek. She was
going to be with him again-going to
find the present richer in happiness
than the past; what could there be to
fear? Olive was too young and too ig-
norant to know that the anguish of n
reunion is sometimes worse than the
pain Of parting.
She remembered that Jane had
gathered that bunch of dark velvet
pansies, and the girls words, spoken
with little sigh, came back TO her at
this moment:
"You have all the luck, Olive. I
don't know why Michael Chase should
have passed over us and chosen you, as
father says. You won't be working
long for yourself; Michael will get on
and marry you out Of hand and set you
up like lady. Some women get the
crumb and others the crust"
Yes, II was strange indeed that she
should be so fortunate. Michael had
never shown the slightest preference
for any other girl In Eastmeon, and
when his choice was made he was per-
fectly constant. Olives stepfather had
been heard to say openly that he
wished Michael Chase had taken n
fancy to Peggy or Jane, and Mrs. Chal-
lock had been seen 10 smile with ILL.,
suppressed triumph. And now Olive
was drawing nearer and nearer to this
wonderful hero Of hers, and she scarce
ly dared TO lift her eyes from the
flowers, so overpowering was the sense
Of Joy.
But when the train came slowly into
the station she looked up with sudden
feeling OF helplessness and fright. II
he was not here-if by any accident he
had been prevented from coming

country grip How could she summon
courage enough TO get into q cab and
be taken all alone through bewildering
streets to her destination2 Her fellow
passengers got out Of the carriage with
all speed; the rosy young woman with

conversation. The baby soon crowed
itself to sleep, the mother dozed too,
the other people were silent.
The quiet girl, sitting in the corner,
lost herself in a blissful dream of her
London life. 1t would all begin this very
evening. She had not seen Michael for
whole year, and presently he would
meet her with eager eyes and loving
words, and take her under his protec-
ton. There would never be any more
partings; and Jane, poor Jane, she
must be made happy too. Olive felt
that she and Michael were strong
enough to manage the love affairs of
half the kingdom, and bring them to a
satisfactory ending. Surely,'oh surely,
the train was slowl
