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- —bad luck me bein’ a mile an’ 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: “’Twas just one o’ pin’ tricks, Miss Myra to ’em! To think o’ cheated into goin’ off. more through wind an’ ram. to see my dyin’ sister, an’ “he dancin’ at the weddin’!” “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 ’twas he heerd her, for • there wasn’t a livin’ soul on the street but him and me. An’ fie was over like a flash-; an’ when she*told him there were burglars, he run for his pistols, an’ sent his boy flyin’ for the perlice. and the first thing .there was a crowd. _ An' it’s him,, mum, you’ve got to thank for sav in’ your lives, an’ the silver, an the house from bein’ burnt over yonr head.”. Miss Maverick made no reply, hut on the following day she pon dered these things iff. her mind, ■und cams to a conclusion. “Myra,” she said, “that Doctor Darrel is a very nice young man; after all.” “I of saving the silver, and was very kind to us.” “He certainly was; andiron—we had not been fen 7 polite to him.” “Burglars might make another attempt.

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. ible, or, by gluing several layers together may be made stiff, and will stop: the passage *01 air be cause there are no joints.
