MOLLIE’S BURGLAR.
Mary Wilson had passed the
first seventeen years of Uet lile in
a country village; then she went
to the city to visit her lorother,
and found its attractions so allur -
ing, that six mouths passed away
and tile time of her return to
country life wa c , as yet, indefiuite
ly postpone 1. For two uiouibs
previous to her visit, her country
friends had vied with each other
in teiling her tales of the cuuniug,
the wickedness, the subtili’y of
city sharpers, pickpocKats and
bu -glars, until the idea becune
firm/y rixed in her mind that she
was going into a dtn of thieves;
but as yet she had met with no
adventure worthy of note, uud
was fast reaching the eoncluion
that city people were no worse
thin their ccuutry neighbors,
when something oecured which
caused her, for a short time
at leasi, to change her mind.
Rut of this more anon.
She was still heart whole, al
though she was sought by several
very eligible suiters since her ar
rival in city, for she was a pre.tj
girl very, desirable for her own
sweet sake, but still more so as
Mary Wnson, si-ter of the wealthy
and influential Lawyer Wilson
And this was bow matters stood
when one sabbath she cbauced to
see a stranger in the pew adjoin
ing her brothers, and coaid not
help seeing that the s. ranger was
regarding u r with admiring eyes
very handsome eyes they wereioo,
but she tried todismiss nli (bought
of him and them, as she bad done
of others on similir oscasioLs, but
found it impossible. Those dark
eyes presented themselves to her
mental vision with a persistency
for which she could not account.
On Monday evening her brother
bought tickets and his wife and
sister io intend a lecture, aid
Mi - Moliie Cutight herself won
dering as she donned her cloak
and na< it the dark eyed genllt
inau would be there, and if he
would loed for her. She found
the lecture insufferably dulf, and
concluded after a time to return
name. She whispered this inten
tion to her brother who saw her
to hi> carnage, and giving iuatruc
(ions io tiie cuachui in to return
for their * e went l ack to his wife
while Miss Moliie was driven rap
idly homeward Arriving there
oho left her hat an d cloak in the
hall and ran lightly up stalls to
his room. The door ft as partly
open, aliough she was sure she
had closed it, the gas w*s turned
it, and in the half light she saw
balore she reached the doorway a
man in the room. His back was
toward b,er, and he was walking
toward a large closet a tie other
side of the apartment He open
ed the door and stopped inside ;
out giauce told her that the key
was in the 100 - k; she ran swiftly
across the room her feet making
little or no sound ou the thick cat
peC “Oouufouud it” she heard
uun mutter “why can't they leave
things where a feliow cau find
them 1" “Yes.” she thought, her
first surmise was correct ; it was
a buiglar.” Like a flash she
‘brew herself agaiust the door
and turned the key. She was ier
ribly frightened and she felt quite
aure she would faint, But as her
prisoner made no demonstrations
beyond iryiug the door gently
this feeling soon wore off. She
turned on the gas drew a chair in
front of the coset door, where she
sat down to consider what it was
best to do. If she called the ser
vants they would wouid be Light
ened ; there would be noise and
Ouufuoiou, and perhaps he would
get away, if she went down after
a policeman he might get out
while she was gone; no, she would
stay where she was and keep
guard umil her Drother should
retavu. She had surely caught
him and did it very neatly, too ;
and the more she thought of ii (
the braver aud more jubilant she
jrew She wished he wouid
speak ; she was anxious to know
uow he felt about his situation.
Preson'ly be did speak he had a
very pleasuut voice ;he tried the
door and asked, ‘‘Who locked

keyhole was so small that he cculd

About daylight upon tie Sun
day of his death Mrs. Jackson in
formed him that his recomery was
very doubtful, .tud that it was bet
ter that ha should be prepaied for
the wo r se.
He wab siieut for a moment aad
then said: Ttwbi be infinite gain
to be translated to heaven.’ He
advised his wife, in the event of
his death, to return to her father's
house, ano added: ‘You have a
kind and good father, but there is
no one so kind aud good as your
Heavenly Father.’
He still expressed a hope that
he would recover, but requested
his wife, in case hr should die, to
have him buried ia Ltxiugtoa, in
the valley cf Virginia. His ex
haustion increased so rapidly that
al il o’clock Mrs. Jackson kneit
by his bed and told lim that be
foie the sun went down be would
besrtih his Savoir.
He replied: ‘Oh, do! You are
frightened, my child. Death is
not so near. I may yet get well.’
She fell upon the bed weaping
bitterly, and aguin told him, amid
_-er tears and sobs, that the physi*
e .ul •* wi-.l g
ar.y hope sot his teoovery
KHt family physician's decision.
After a moment's pause he ask
ed her to call tne family physician.
•Doctor,’ he said, as the physi
cian entered the room. ‘Anna in
formed me that you have told her
lam (o die to-day. Is tt so?
When he was answered in the
affirmative, he turned his sunken
eyes (oward tlie ceiling and gazed
sot a moment or two as if in in
tense thought, then looked at the
friends about him und said softly:
‘Very good; very good; .t is all
righ i.’
Then turning to hie ueart brok
en wife he tried lo comfort her.
He told her there was much he de
sired 104.011 her, but that we was
too weak for the undertaking.
Col. Feiidleton, one of the offi -
cers ofimsinff, came into the
room uUout 1 o’clock. General
Juckson asked him.
‘Who is preaching at the heads
quarters to-day?'
When tojd in reply that the
whole army was praying for him
he replied:
•Tha' God! they are very kind.’
Then he added; ‘lt is the Lord’s j
day: my wish is lulhlled. I have j
always desired to die on Sunday.’
TALKING IN HIS DELIRIUM.
Slowly his mind began to fail
and wander, and he frequently
talked iu hit delirium as if in com
mand of bis army on Ibe field of
battle. He would give orders to
his aides in his old way, and ihen
the scene was changed, tie wat
at cbe mess table in conversation
with members of bis staff; now
with bis wife and ohild; now at
prayers with bis military tamily.
Occasional intervals of a return of
bis mind would appear, and dur<-
ing one of them tbs physician of
fared the dying man some oraud
and water, but he declined it say
mg:
‘lt will only delay my departure
and do no good; L want to pre
serve my mind'to the las/, if pos
sible.’
oinnieij Is before tue end
arrived tne dying
out in his delirium:
Order A F. Hill to prepare for
action!’ ‘Fats the infantry to the
front rapidly!’ ‘Tell Major
Hawks ’ Then bis voice was
silent and the beutence remained
unfioisned.
An instant later a smile of inef
fable sweetness and parity spread
itsoif over his calm, pale face, ami
iheu looking upward, and slightly
raising his hands he said quietly
and with an expression of relief:
•Lei us pa s over the river and
iebi under the shade of the trees.’
And then, without sign of strug
gle or of pain, his spirii passed
away.—Leuoij Free Pi ess.

choice military and dresr fabrics
are shown in ihem.

favor than for years, especially
good grades of black silk, fai!le |

those with a high lu fro.
For bonnets, the clote shapes
will, it se.-mis. always be in favor,
although they are a shade large*
than last season. Tbereate the
same pinched up brims and the
same cut-up crowns.
Skirts of walkin ' dresses s(il'
continue to clear <be ground easi

from the quantity of it sold, the
iedi'-ations tiro that it is so bs in
