It was a stormy November even
ing, with a.high wind and a pour
ing rain—Act an ■■ evening as
makes people appreciate the lux
ury of a pleasant fireside,
The Misses Maverick felt very
comfortable as they sat in cush
ioned chairs, one on eaGi side of
the glowing fire, while between
them the little tea-table gleamed
with polished silver which reflect
ed back the dancing blaze.
No plated ware was this, but, as
the ladies often boasted, solid ster
ling silver which had belonged to
their grandfather: and having lit
tle else to show 6& what the Mav
ericks had been in their day, they'
prized this battered silver service
above all things, A s Miss Maver
ick often observed, she would pre
fer to lose the house over their
heads, though it had been left
them by an aunt, than part with
one of those worn spoons.engraven
with the Maverick monogram.
“Alice seems very long about
the tea,” observed Miss Maverick,
glancing at ’the clock. ■ “I am al
most sorry I allowed Nancy to go
to her sister’s. It is inconvenient,
and I never feel safe without, her,
in case of illness or accident. Che
hasn’t been long with ns, but I
think she can be trusted.”
“She is certainly sufficiently out
spoken,” said Miss Myr;i, nodding
her little gray curls. “What do
you think she said to me to-day' ?
‘Miss Myra,’ says she, ‘if that
young doctor’s too poor to support
Miss Alice, as I iieerd ye say,
couldn’t ye let ’em have the rooms
across the hall that’s no use to
'anybody but the mice, aud that
’ud save’em tlier rent?’~says she.”
Miss Myra laughed a little, tim
id laugh, while she gazed halr-
wistfully at her sister.
But she, stiff and 'erect; gazed
into the fire.
“Nancy must be Vaught to know
her place,” she said steimly. “And
as to Alice, I have already said
that I Mil never cousent to her
marrying Doctor Darrel. Think,
of our educating that child, edu
cating and clothing her, in the
hope that she would make a match
worthy of a Maverick, and the first
thing that we know she wants to
throw herself away on a poor doc
tor—the son of a plain farmer—
who has nothing to depend upon
but his practice, if he ever gets
one.”
“He may succeed in time,” said
Miss Myra, who rarely ventured
to differ from her more strong
minded sister. “They say he is
clever, and people seem to like
him. i would not be surprised if
he and Alice marry at last.”
“In that case they know what
they have to expect of us !” return
ed Miss Maverick, grimly, “i
will give the house to be an or
phan asylum, aud leave the silver
and everything else to the Home
for Decayed Gentlewomen. It
will be better there than with com
mon crockery bn farmer Darrel’s
table.”
At this moment Aliee entered
bearing the tea-tray, an office
which she had taken upon herself
in order that Nancy might have
liberty to visit her sister.
She was d slight girl, with a
fair, sweet face, and a gentle, ap
pealing look, contrasting with Miss
Maverick’s determined expression.
She did not look happy.
How could she, when she knew
that to give herself to the man she
loved would estrange from her
the only relatives .from whom she
had found kindness and affection.
Alice poured out the tea, and
the ladies had just helped them
selves to toast- and marmalade,
when Miss Myra gave a slight
scream and pointed to the window
opposite where she was seated.
There between the curtains ap
peared a man’s fabe, and as they
looked he nodded and beckoned.
“For heaven’s sake, Alice,” said
Miss Maverick,' startled, “see who
it is and what he,wants!”.
The girl raised the sash slight
ly, but before she could speak, the
man—who was leaning over from ;
the porch—stooped and said, in a
hurried'voide;
j “Don’t be alarmed. I am a po-
i liceman, rvud come to let you know
that there are burglars on your
premises. Lst us in quietly so as
not to alarm.”
Miss Myra sank pale aud tremb
ling on a sofa. Her sister seizing
i a lamp in one hand and with tire
; other firmly clutching Alice’s arm
went to the hall door and unloek-
| ed it.
j Two men stepped in—one a
‘ dapper and well-dressed little man,
j and the other tall and stalwart,
wearing a rough overcoat with a
large cape.
The moment he passed the
threshhold, he turned the key and
withdrew it from the lock.
“ThAy won’t esexpo by this
way,” he mattered, and cautiously
followed the ladies into the room
they had just left.
Here he opened his overcoat,
displaying a policeman’s shield
aud uniform, and again buttoned
it.
“I am Sargeaut A ngus,” be said,
speaking in the same low tone.
“This gentleman—Mr. Marlin—
has just informed me that he saw
two men enter your house awhile
ago ”
“By the cellar . window in the
side yard,” replied Mr. Martin,
who looked a little timid and un
easy-.
Sergeant Angus nodded and
again addressed Miss M.iveriek:
“It is possible the servants may
have let them in.”
“Oh dear, no! we have only one
—our cook—and she was sent for
an hou-r rgo to see a sick relative.”
The Sergeant smiled—a pecu
liar smile.
“That’s an old trick,taking one
self out of the wfty to avoid suspi
cion. I will warrant, ma’am, the
servant has a hand in this matter.
Probably she knows where you
Keep your valuables, and Iras post
ed her accomplices. It is just
there that we can .best- trap them,
i have a man .at the rear and will
let him in.”
Miss Maverick was shocked and
alarmed out of her selffposses-
sion.
“I would never have dreamed it
of Nancy- But it’s the silver
they’re after. Part of it’s here, as
you see, and the rest iu the closet
of my room, locked in an old
leather trunk. I wouldn’t lose, it
for the wJidd. Oh—”
“Pray be quiet ma’am,” said
the Sergeant, almost authoritive-
ly, -‘or they will hear you and take
the alarm, which is your room?”
“The one over this—”
“Hist 1”
He held up his hand and list
ened.
“I think I hear a sound over
head. They are probably at the
closet. Now, ladies, whatever may.
happeD, keep perfectly quiet. Mr.
Martin wiil stay by you, if you
object io being left alone,”
He examined a pistol which he
took from beneath ii-s coat, then
Softly lefr- the room.
Mr. Martin looked around.
“Hadn’t you better pnt that sil
ver out of the way,” he suggested,
“und any valuables that you have
within reach?”
“Certainlyv Wliv didn’t I think
of it ?” said Miss Maverick, all of
a tremble.
And while Alice attended Miss
Myra with vinegar and water, the
elder sister, with Mr. Martin’s
assistance, tied up the silver in a
table-cover and thrust it .out of
sight under the valence of the big,
ehina-eovered sofa.
Then she opened a writing desk
and took out a roll of bills, which-
she thrust deep * down into her
pocket—adding to them her own
and Miss Myra’s mourning breast
pins and rings.
Next, she siezed upon the fami
ly Bible and various photographs
which hung above the inantie-
piece, and with her treasures thus
secured, stood rigid and alert, pre-
gheir eun-

A moment after there was a
sound of a muffled voice.
Mr. Martin started up, and has
tily mentioning to the ladies to
follow, glided out of the room.
In her frights Miss Maverick
forgot even the precious silver un
der the sofa, and laden with the
rest of her treasures, while Alice
supported the limp and trembling
form of Mike Myra, stumbled out
into the pitch-dark hall.
At this moment some one rushed
past them. Miss Maverick was
pushed rudely against. th‘e wall,
and fell, while a rough hand grasp
ed her throat.
“I’ve got you, you vidian ! Here,
Angus, lend us a hand. Why,
-hang it!” as he seized Miss Maver
ick’s false front hair, which came
off in his had, “it’s 'a.woman.?’
Then there.was a scuffle, a sound
of running feet down the cellar
stairs, a cojfused noise outside,
pistol shots—and Miss Maverick
iu the midst of her boobs and pho
tographs, fainted dead away in the
darkness.
When she came to herself she
was lying on the chintz sofa, with
Alice kneeling beside her, bathing
her hands in camphor, while Doc
tor Darrel bent over her, staunch
ing a slight wound in her. fore
head. „
Close by Nancy was ministering
to Miss Myra, and indignantly dis
coursing:

“Where am I?” said Miss Mav
erick, feebly.
“idufe in .your own house, my
dear madam,” answered the doc
tor, cheerfully.
And Alice looked half-timidly
from him to her aunt.
“The silver!” gasped the latter,
with a sudden remembrance.
“It is safe, also. We were in
the alley on the watch for the
rogues, and they were compelled
to drop tire silver in order to es
cape.”
Miss Maverick rolled her eyes
upward in a silent, but fervent,
thanksgiving.
Then she put her hand to her
pocket, and her expression instant
ly changed.
No pocket was there, but a great
bole where it had been cut clean
out—no doubt when she was
knocked down and choked.
“It was the fellow/ they called
Martin,” explained the. doctor.
“He'and his companion-—the pre
tended policeman—were the bur
glars. They both escaped, though
Martin dodged a good while before
he would drop the silver which h e
had helped to hide under the sofa.
As to the contents of the pocket,
he got off witn that.
Miss Maverick was too thankful
at the recovery of her precious sil
ver to take much to heart the loss
of the money aiid other things.
“Who gave the alarm?” she in
quired feebly.
“I did, Aunty,” Alice said with
a blush. “The hall door was Rock
ed, but I broke one of the side
lights aqd called for help, and
Doctor DarM; who.was just enter
ing his office, heard me.”
“She called him by his name,”
said Nancy, excitedly, “an’ lucky

Miss Maverick made no reply,

There is room for factories in
the south. Indeed, there are sev
eral kinds of factories which could
be operated in the south with great
profit. There are none of the kinds
•referred to in any of the southern
states.
' For instance, there, is not a sew
ing machine factory south of Cin
cinnati. Why is this? Such a
factory would' pay handsomely.
Why should the south depend en
tirely upon the nortli tor sewing
machines?
A gentleman from Cleveland,,
0., in a letter to the Morning News
says: “The south want” a sewing
machine factory somewhere with
in its borders. With its wealth of
woods, iron and coal, side by side,
machines could be manufactured
so cheaply that they could.be sold
for less than any sewing machine
now in the market, There is a
sewing machine manufactured in
this city that sells for 88. I am
sure that i’t could be manufactured
in the south so as to be sold for
85. It is in every respect as good
as any sewing machine now in use.
The demand for it is beyond the
supply, and will continue to be for
years.”
The northern people are quick
to take advantage of the opportu
nities presenie’d for increasing
their manufacturing industries.
Why should not the southern peo
ple establish such • industries and
reap the benefits to be derived
from them? There are, doubtless,
dozens of industries that could be
established in this city with profit.
All that is required is a little cap
ital, and that is here. Thousands
of dollars of our citizens are lock
ed up in securities which pay only
a small rate of interest. Why not
invest some of it in factories, for
instance a sewing machine factory?
It would yield twice as much as it
is yielding now. The southern
people are not quick enough to
grasp'the money-making opportu
nities'which present themselves.

Mrs. Frank Leslie, in an essrfl
on beaux published in the New

is really a grief to bear a' lender,

a beau, if you please, and died with
a jest upon his lips, but one can
not imagine him in Romeo’s place.
No, my dear, girls, don’t be slip
shod in in' your nomenclature; and
although you may be surrounded
with beaux, don't fancy 7 them lov

and bad policy to force a man to
