The Midnight Escape.

From Harpers Weekly.
 A detective detailed on the numerous robberes that were being committed in a fashionable uptown section drew back behind the stone steps and watched, keen ly observant It was 11:SO at night, and, considering the circumstances, the incl dent which aroused his attention was highly irregular and suspicious. A closed carriage turned out of the avenue, drove half way up the block, and stopped in the shadows. A tall man, carrying a suit case and accompanied by woman close ly yelled, got out. The carriage turned back into the avenue, while the man and woman loitered along the dark side of the street, with the evident purpose of escaping observation. In a few moments, as though by accident (yet, to the de- teetives trained faculties, clearly by pre- arrangement, a cab with the name of d certain railroad on it came slowly by The man and his companion, with an elaborate show of having just made up their minds, hailed it, jumped in, and were driven rapidly away. The detective ran to the corner, secured passing cab, and gave chase. The description in his pocket said that the suspect was & tall man, and the evidence pointed to fe- male accomplice. He became certain, as he followed the QeNlOub way u luS ShD in front that he was on the right track. The cab showed no intention of making for the ferry, but, instead, stopped before a secluded hotel just off Fifth avenue. The occupants of the cab got out with fegned weariness and entered the hotel.
 The detective telling his driver to wait, followed close behind his prey into the cffice Both the man and the woman were making unnecessarily loud remarks about having just arrived from Washing ton, and what a trying journey they had experienced. The woman declared herself totally unacquainted with New York, but said she had been told that the hotel was a good one. The man, plainly under a nervous strain, signed the register, glancing stealthily about the meanwhile. As he turned from the book, he bumped sharply into an elderly lady who came rushing out of the elevator with some complaint to the clerk. Exclaiming, T beg your pardon, madam!'' he swept off his hat in a deep, apologetic bow His woman companion had at That moment taken off her veil, disclosing an ex- tremely pretty and youthful face.
 "Oh, George" she now cried, flushing scarlet, you've spoilt it all. And after all the trouble we've taken, too!''
 She dashed into the elevator, leaving the tall man staring blankly and foolishly at a stream of rice which was flowing from the brim of his hat and forming a little white pile on the hotel floor. The clerk smiled with superior condescension, while the elderly lady patted the bride en- couragingly on the shoulder. And the de- tective-well. he just lied into the night, saying things.

When One Spends Money.

One would think that money would
be saved in prosperous times when
there is plenty of it about. But no,
that is not the time when it is saved.
1t is then that it is spent, says Apple
tons. Everybody spends it-govern-
ments, railroads. corporations, capital
lists, housekeepers, house builders, col
lectors. People expand their wants in
such times, and satisfy some of them,
and then is when it is most of all i'm
possible to live on anything year
But after all the money has been spent
a few times over and has begun to be
scarce, and borrowing has come to be
a serious matter, and folks have much
less to spend and no expectations;
then everybody groans and begins to
save, not only trying desperately to
squeeze back inside of the bounds of
income, but to pay back what was
spent in expectation of a time when
saving would have become convenient
To most of us that time never comes
And yet there are things for which we
spend more than we can afford, that
really do justify our expenditures. so
that after the money has been spent
and we are pinched for the lack of it.,
we would still rather have what it
bought than have the money back

Strive to Be Cheerful.

Most persons are Of the opinion that
II man is not favored by nature with
a cheerful spirit, he cannot pretend to
be cheerful. Yet this is not really the
case, and there is many man who is
at present weary burden to his rela.
tives, miserable through the carking
care of some bodily ailment, perhaps,
or some worldly misfortune, who, if he
had grown up into the idea that to be
cheerful under all circumstances was
one of the first duties of life, might
still see a pleasant enough world
around him. The discontented worries
of morose and grumbling person
may very likely shorten his days and
the general justice Of natures arrange
ment provides that his early departure
should entail no long regrets, says
New York Weekly. On the other
hand, the man who can laugh keeps
his health, and his friends are glad to
Keep him. To person perfectly
healthy laughter comes often. Too
commonly, though, as childhood is left
behind, the habit fails, and a half
smile is the best that visits the
thought-lined mouth of modern man
or woman. People become more and
more burdened with the accumula-
ions of knowledge and with the
weighing responsibilities of life, but
they should still spare time to laugh.
