Herald When his eyes became aeens-
toned to the gloom he found . Man
who had heard him coming standing IN
heroic attitude with revolver pankeA
in his face
The one was the night watchman
and engineer of the building Up
with your hands, said he, and up the
burglars hands went rs Il they had
been trained to the business and had
done nothing else all their lives
The position was pleasant one &o
the night watchman- All he had TO do
was 10 keep ms pistol in position and
wait till morning, when fifty workmen
would rush in, bind the prisoner and es-
cort him in triumph to the nearest jail
But who was 70 look after the fires:
This thought occurred to him afte.
about an hour had passed. and the bur
glars hands had grown white through
holding them up too long and letting
the blood get emptied out
''See here" said the engineer. III

furnaces you'll pick up Dit OF coal or
something and hit me q bin on the
head, steal everything in the house and
then go home to your family"

/ Better let me go home to me poor

, At the point of the revolver the en-
gineer kept the burglar working al
night. When he wasn't busy at tn
coal he kept him polishing up the brass
work, and after he had finished tn
brasswork he made him swab the foo

FEMALE CONNECTS.
Their Vanity Accompanies Them Into

A writer in an English paper says that our
hapless country woman, Mrs. Maybrick, set the
fashion in Working Prison Of wearing The skirt
iong-that is, with train, as she was wearing
such when she entered prison. The dresses
served out TO the convlcts are constant sources
OF annoyance TO Them and many an hour ia
spent touching up and altering. A Mibank,
another English prison, some years since, a
female convict was discovered to be in possess
sion OF three talOw candles which, If they had
not been missed, would no doubt have been
utilized AS pomdde.
One woman created quite a sensation among
the female convicts in Working Prison by rea-
son of the brillancy of the color OF her cheeks
and lips. One day she became guile friendly
with young convict TO whom she took a fancy
and during the ten minutes cha Qemale

secret. Ii was soon all over the prison, and
very soon on most of the cheeks OF the women
could be found traces of color.
The paint was obtained n the following
ingenious manner: In The aprons which Il 9
women were wearing there was running
through the pattern bright red stripe. and
this was carefully drawn out. When unraveled
and chewed IN the mouth the color Of dye was

which decorated their faces and lips
