To any I whh frightened would h$

The moon had retired behind a ,

was in complete darkness, but from
tli draperi at tnv bedside issued a (

Then throwing open the door I stood
on the sill facing my visitor, and threw
the glare of the lighted candle full 1
upou him, as he lolled in a careless,
eus.\ attitude against the n.Ministers.
1 had been prepared for a burglar?
but I had looked for one attired according
to the traditions of my ancestors.
But here was a gentlemanly,
mild-featured individual, such as I 1
should have expected to find tilling the
position of a professor of Latin?perhaps

There was no appearance of a jimmy,

After hcv'ig lifid till the i? < n: <
all tho moot valuable articles, he returned
to the (lilting room.
Oil the table the remains of supper
still stood. Consisting Of a fowl, hardly
tphchOui some delicately cut broad
and nutter, cake, and a glass jar containing
some fancy crackers.
"I will make myself entirely at
home," he remarked, sitting down to
be table, and helping liiins'df to n
wing nf the chicken,
"lteally," he proceeded, "I have
thoroughly enjoyed this evening. Not
only have 1 met a most charming lady,
but 1 have been able to prove to her
that the terms gentleman and burglar
may be syiiouoinous."
He now began on the cake. 1 pushed
the cracker jiy toward him. "Try
tliem," I observed.
Still smiling indulgently, ami talking,
ho took out oiio of the crackers
and began to nibble on it. It was
very dry.
I rone, and in absent minded manlier
placed on the table the remains of
a bottle of old Jhirgundy, which hud
been opened the dav before.
"Now, really," ho prattled, "I'm u

I took up burglary mom as a resource
than from necessity. (landidlv speaking,
now, am I a ruflian?"
"No I" I replied, looking directly
at. him. "On the Contrary, you arc a
very line-looking man."
A glow of vanity spread over his
face. I poured out a glass of the burgundy
and pushed it toward him.
"England to Wales!" he cried with
gallantry. "I don't generally drink,"
he added, "hut those crackers make
me thirsty."
"If I could ?jstly find a wifo suitod
to my tastes," ho mused, "such a
woman as you are, by Oeorge I I'd
give up (esthetic burglary and settle
down to uuiet domestic bliss." He

Heholpod himself to another cracker.
"Your proposal tw ho stnrtlingly unique,

"iHii't it?" ho chueklod, evidently
snjoying the idea of the oddity. "Wo

jouvivially, but was interrupted by a
riolent tit of coughing.
Seizing the bottle of Burgundy, ho
Indued the only drop or two left.
"I think, maybe, there's another

trtlosHly. "I'll go down and aeo?I

"Wo will doaeend together," ex[ laituud
my burglar, gallantly taking

We descended tli? slops chatting

measuring the distance to the wine

of a ton of coal. Before the furthest
one 1 paused.
Here," 1 Haiti, "is \ho brand we are
looking for." 1 rained the heavy lid
and looked in. "I will hold the candle,"
f observed ; "will you get the
bottle? I can hardly reached it."
He handed me the enmlle and bent
low over the bin. Ha! ha! Quicker
than a Hash of lightning I tripped up
liis heels (he was easily overbalanced),
and into the l?in he fell headlong.
Down oatno the heavy lid. But there
was no padlock on it. I must hurry!
Blowing out the candle, I ran, for I
knew llie vrnjr, ntruiglit to the cellar
st -psand up them ? like a eat. Th?n
with a locked door between myself and
my burglar, I could breathe.
f heard the man kicking about down
b'-low, for of course he got out of the I
bin at once. But our collar is a laby- j

its resting place in the hall, 1 sat down
near the door at the head of the stairs,
waitimr for tiie worst
Tlu- door wiiH fairly strong -that I
know; Imt hr was a powerful man. So
I dragged a heavy table from the sitling
room and placed it against it.
Suddenly I became conscious that he
had found his way to tile stairs and
was rapidly approaching the door,
which was all that lay between me ami
his revengeful fury.
Bracing myself against the opposite
wall, I raised the old gun, and, deliberately
aiming it, waited.

Another most valuable series of investigations
in rogard to the metal best
adapted for the construction of bridges
has been made by tho Austriau Society
of Engineors. Some 216 mechanical
tests were made by the committee having
the matter in hand, to determino
the quality of wrought iron, of basic,
Bessemor and basic opon-eartli steel,
the conclusion boing that the latter excels
all the others in resistance to mechanical
attack and distortion.
A remarkable illustration of the progress
of electrical appliances is electrolytio
painting. Hitherto, if copper
or other metal were to be deposited
electrically, a bath*of solution was
needed. Now this is changed, and a
technical journal says a ship's hull can
be plated as easily as a spoon or teapot.
Instead of a bath, insoluble
salts, ground to a flno powder and
mixed with wator. are used. This
mixture is painted on the metal to bo
plated by a flno wire brush, to which
one pole of a dynamo conduotor is attached,
the other polo being connected
with a plate. Not only pure metal but
all sorts of alloys can be used.

Oxalic acid is tho standard femed
for ink stains, but by some porversit
it is never on hand when needed. Sal
however, is always ready, and it is a
most certain to eradicate the stni
from any woolen article, such as
Carpet or table cover, if applied r
once. Thrown on a fresh stain it ac
as a inagio absorbent. Immediate]
brush up tho stained salt as lightly i
possible. Then apply fresh and who
vigorously. Tn most casos tlio stu
wholly disappears. I know no otln
absorbent that will act in this way.
A soap that is invaluable where ou
