When my aunt Maud died?she died the very summer I graduated?I was too heart-broken to care what became of me. Still I had to be disposed of in someway, so it was decided that I go to live with my brother Richard. I had always lived with my aunt, had known no other mother, therefore, her death was the greatest blow pos sible to me. And this brother Rich ard, ? only knew slightly when I was a small child. If I had been in a state of mind to care about anything I should have hated the idea of going very mnch. As it was I went without a murmur. I took the journey aione, and sub sequently after many ups and downs arrived at Dick's town, a queer little village away down in the southern part of South Carolina. Diuk is a moderately young bachelor. He is an attorney at law, and has a very Fair practice indeed. Anterior to my advent he had lived all by himself, in a pretty cottage in the prettiest street, and was rather a central figure and quite the most eligible young man abont town. He was not spoiled though, but really I found him to be a dearest fel low, and determined in my heart to be to him such a faithful co-openitor and satisfactory housekeeper, that he would never need or desire any other. We got on famously together, so fa mously that in all human probability the last obapter \rou?d' hr.vo found ns still there, he a grizs?f?old bachelor, I a grirlier old maid, had not some thing occurred out of the common, which brought about a ohange. It ail grew out of what happened one St. Valentine's eve. On this day, memorable above other days, just about an hour after dinner, Dick received a telegram to go up that evening to A-, a city about fifty miles away, to meet an important client. He did not have time to come home, for the train was thou in sight, so he scribbled me the following note, which I did not get until nearly night, simply because the office boy neglected to bring it until then : "Dear Girl : Have to leave on next train to meet a man in A-. Prob ably will not get home till to-morrow noon. Spend the night with The Ancient. (A dear old lady friend of mine in the next street.) Be sure to put that money in the bank before it I closes at 4. Don't fail. Dies." It was such a bore to have to lock up and go out for the night. I did not feel like it. I was not afraid, though I had never stayed in a house alone at night. And the money, several thousand dollars collected for a client, I surely could not at 7 pot it in the bank that closed at 4. I could not very well carry it with me to the Ancient's, and I certainly could not leave it. ? had never heard of any burglaries in the village. I made up my mind to stay ai home that night because it was troublesome to do otherwise. I did not want any tea, so I let the girl go home early, and sat, neglecting even to light the lamps, before a big oak fire in the sitting room "thinking up" one of Dick's cases. A murder case that had a great deal of circum stantial evidence leading in various I directions. I soon became deeply ab sorbed, so deeply that presently I went to sleep at it, and in sleep saw our poor man tried, convicted and sen tenced to hang, and was myself pos sessed with a frantic wish to attend the hanging in person, my non-ap pearance being entirely due to the fact that I could not find my shoes, having been separated from them for some unexplainable reason. I woke np suddenly frightened to find myself enveloped in darkness, only relieved by an uncanny red glow from the fast-dying coals on the hearth. Everything was bo still, not the smallest sound except the ticking of a little clock in my bed room, and the clicking of the dying coals. I was afraid to move, afraid to turn my head to left or right, lest I should see something terrifying lurking in the gloomy corners. I was cold, too, and trembling. The room was chilled. I fancied it must be just before dawn. My fear increased rather than diminished as the moments dragged by. I could hear my heart beating. I soon be came enthralled by terror. I had a kind of animal instinct of impending danger. " I thought of the money. It was locked up in the cabinet at my right hand, not two yards away. I found myself listening painfully, torturously. My throat seemed swollen. I swal lowed in gulps. I endeavored to rally my courage, to pursuade myself that I had awakened from a night-mare, and Was nervous. That there was nothing to fear, and that I was making a baby of myself. All to no purpose. Something was going to happen ; something was happening that mo ment which would bring me bort. I could not throw of the notion. Just then it began to rain, a regular down fall, as if the bottom had fallen out of the clouds. I have never known it to rain so heavily. A perfect deluge, and every drop seemed to penetrate my soul. I did not move, flay back in my chair helpless. I felt that I could not raise my hand to my face if my life were the forfeit. Such pour ing ! I found myself listening behind the rain, all the pattering noise, lis tening for another sound. I had a grotesque idea that the elements and this something that was coming to me were colleagned together, the one to screen the approach of the other. I was listening, with every fibre of my body drawn taut. Listening for what? I did not know. Something beyond, behind the rain. Then 1 heard it. A sound distinct from the rain patter?^ sound emanating from our little dining roam. I listened with all my ears, with all my soul. It was a kind of sawing sound. It came from the front portico. I knew some one was cutting through the Venetian blinds into the house. My faintest doubt vanished presently when I un mistakably heard the blinds dragged back and the window sash creak as it was rolled up. Someone was entering the house. This person, whoever he was, knew of my brothers' absence. Good heavens 1 I thought of Paul, the office man. He brought the note?an open note. It was he who caused the delay of the note and prevented my depositing the money. It was as clear as day. I rose rigidly to my feet. In a twinkling my mind was acutely active. A thousand wayB and means of escape surged through my brain in a moment. I unlocked the cabinet, grasped the large pocketbook which contained the money and thrust it into my bosom. For what purpose ? I did not know. I retreated into the denser darkness of my own bed room, where I stood un certain and shivering. The windows were too high from the ground to admit of my jumping therefrom with out incurring the risk of a broken limb at the least ; besides there was no time. At the first sound of my putting up the sash I would be detect ed and overpowered. I heard a heavy tread along the hall. The idea flashed into my head like tho inoision of a blade. I clutched the , money ^ my bi?$om and eteppejl into ? the empty fireplace. In another mo [ ment I was scrambling up the sooty chimney after the manner of a finished chimney sweep. What went on down below I did not know. In the cessation of the rain I could hear the heavy tread passing to and fro, I knew, on a dead hunt for that money. But I from my lofty vantage ground could only thank Heaven over and over again for my blessed deliverance. I was so be numbed with cold and fright I think I lost consciousness, and would have probably come tumbling down the chimney except that I was so rigid and walled in I could not. The next thing I remember was opeoingmy eyes and seeing the square of dim light above me. Then realiz ing all, my strength or something gave way and I fell heavily, striking my head against something which left me senseless for hours. When I came to myself I was in the arms of a half-clothed young man that I had never seen before. He sat upon the floor and held my head across his knees while he wiped the blood from my cut forehead with his pocket hand kerchief, which every now and then he squeezed out in a basin of water at his elbow. I don't suppose there was ever a more terrified young man upon this earth of ours. Imagine an inof fensive young man turning up in a town where an intimate friend lives. Coming in on the very train that takes the intimate friend out. Imagine the intimate friend cordially inviting the new comer to his house, telling him that there was nobody at home, but that he could turn in there, make himself at home, find plenty to eat by foraging around, and get a good bed for the night ; then, to make the thing complete, give him the wrong keys by which to let himself in. Imagine this new coiner loafing about town till bedtime, then setting out for hisfriend's quarters, overtaken in the rain, at last to arrive at bis intended abiding place to discover that he has brought off the wrong keys, thus being compelled to let him self into the house like a burglar. Imagine him piling into the first bed he came to, dropping into the untrou bled sleep of the guileless to be awak ened at the peep of day by a something down hia chimney. Not a hob-goblin either?that were better?but a young woman, bespattered and grimy and bloody, but a young woman for all that, and one probably more dead than alive. Imagine it all if yon can, for this is what happened to the misguided young man that held me across his lap and wiped my broken head on that memorable St. Valentine's morning. Imagine it all, and tell me if men, through stupidity, don't cause half of all the trouble in the world. I ex plained it to him as I could, for I was really iill ; and when the servant girl came he went off for the doctor while Mary helped mc to bed. Dick came at noon, and was horri fied at what happened. But the doc tor had pronounced me more frighten ed than hurt, and really but for the dreadful cold I caught and the cut on my forehead it did not amount to anything, and soon became a tremend ouc joke. And it turned out that this friend of Dick's, whose acquaintance I made in such a very unconventional fashion, was the Tery client whoBe money I had defended. And it also came about that?that he?that I?that we have grown to love each other ; and Dick?7 Dick is to look out for another co operator before next fall, because? well for reasons best known to myself. Bessie May Tobin-Montaotje. Bank Robbed in Broad Day. San Francisco, Cal., Feb. 18.?At 10 o'clock this morning three men, one of whom was masked, entered the Market Street Bank, at 933 Market street. Immediately on entering one of the men closed the outer door of ithe bank, adroitly fastening it. The other two drew pistols and commanded Cashier W. S. Hopkins and Book keeper J. A HayhuTst to throw up their hands. Hopkins not immediately complying a shot was fired which missed him. The robbers forced the two bank employees into one of the steel vaults of the bank, closing the c oor on them, but not locking it. They then took away a tray containing a large quantity of gold coin and one tray of silver. The bank officials re fuse to disclose the amount taken. All three robbers escaped with their booty. Chief of Police Crowley, who went to the Bcene immediately after the news reached headquarters, says the bank's people were warned last week that they were in danger. J. F. Hayhurst, the bookkeeper, made the following statement to the police: "Mr. Hopkins, the cashier and myself opened the bank at 9 o'clock. A few minutes before 10 o'clock three masked men came running into the bank and levelled their pis tols at us, and ordered us to throw up our hano>s. I did not obey the first command, but at the second order I obeyed, as I saw I could not get my pistol. One of the men jumped through the window at the cashier's desk and fired a shot at the cashier. They then forced us into the bank vault. We always keep the bars thrown iso that the vaults cannot be barred, and while we were in this they debated die advisability of killing us. They remained in the bank about four minutes after driving us into the vault, and as soon as we heard the doors close we ran out and gave the alarm." Cashier Hopkins said: "This morning at 10 o'clock I was standing at the desk near the vault. I turned my head and immediately a fellow poked a pistol at my head and said : 'Hands up.' The bookkeeper had his hands up. One of the fellows jumped upon the counter and fired his pistol at me. The man who fired the pistol had a black mask tied around his face, covering hia nose and mouth. After he :5red the shot I told him not to aot so foolish about this. The other two men came in and forced us into the vault and said : 'That's all right.' I knew the vault could not be locked. They worked quite a while, and I guess we were in the vault about three minutes, and as soon as the robbers left we gave the alarm. The elevator man */f*s on the fifth floor and the janitor in the basement. I cannot tell how much was taken. I do not think it will be a great deal. The most peculiar feature of the situation is two coin trays which usually are on the counter I find now in tbe safe, which to me is a very strange thing.'' Cashier Hopkins is singularly reti cent about stating the amount of tbe bank's loss. He told Chief Crowley, however, that the amount of money on the counter would not exceed $700. No arrests have yet been made. ?

To the Editor of the News and Courier : As to the strength of the movement look ing to the formation of a respectable Re publican party in South Carolina the writer has no means of knowing, but wishes to present a few more observations to those who are tempted to change their allegiance, to whloh he asks their careful consideration. Attention has already been called to the immense burden placed upon our people by the operations of the McKinley tariff law and the millions of our hani-eamed money that has been poured into the pockets ot the protected manufacturers of the North. Compara tively little of this money was paid by the wealthy classes, the larger portion of it comiug from the often unremunerative toil of the poor man, bearing most heavily on the colored part of our population, the very people over whom the Republican party have shed so many hypocritical tears, but never, even in its most violent exhibitions of grief, forgetting to make pay tribute to those who have waxed fat at the expense of the toiling millions of farmers and laborers. With these facts staring him in the face, and there is absolutely no way of refuting them, it is difficult to Bee how any native citizen of South Carolina can bend bia neck to the yoke of Republicanism and help to fasten the fetterson his own limbs. To call the Republican party progressive is tbe veriest nonsense, unless it can be shown that it was an evidence of progress on the Chinese when they built their great wall Some have openly avowed that their only reason for joining tbe Republican party ia lor the purpose of putting down Tillman in this State. A very little re section ought to show them that so far from hurting Tillman their defection will very probably he turned to his advantage, and they will have sacrificed their po litical principles in vain, to say nothing r:f tbe folly and weakness of*allowing Tillman or anyone else to drive them out of a party to whom their allegiance is bo manifestly due. Mr. Tillman, to quote from one of his speeches, is looking for a light from the West, and if this declaraton means anything it dearly points out that just as eioon as tbe time is opportune be will go over openly to the Populist party. He cannot by any stretch of charity be called a Democrat, and he will fit very nicely into thiB so-called Third Party. When he crosses the very small Rubicon that divides him from that party be will unquestionably take a good many of bia followers in South Carolina with him, not by any meanB all of them, for great as may be their love for him they love the Democratic party more, and will stand by it to tbe bitter end. When tbe Populist movement gets fairly under way we will have three parties in tbe State, and tbe fight for supremacy will be a hotiy contested one. Tbe duty of tbe Democrats in this con tingency is too plain toadmitof argument, and that duty is to stand as firm as a Greek pbalanx and present an unbroken front to both Republicans and Populists. These two parties will not be long in findimg out that neither of tbem is strong enough to carry the State alone, and it will he a comparatively easy matter for them to join forces, each trying to make a catapaw of the other, against their com mon enemy, the Democrat, just as was done in. North Carolina. When this fusion it; made then those who went to the Republicans to get rid of Tillman will find themselves being dictated to by the very man they profess to despise so heartily. They will then want to come back, but it is iun ; as well for tbem to understand that there will be no fatted calf killed for the return of a lot of prodigals, whose sorrow will not be for the aot itself, but for tbe consequences of that aot. It is very far from the intention of the writer to be unjust, but if the Democrats had triumphed in the recent elections is it probable that anything would have been heard of in the way of forming a decent Republican party in South Caro lina? As for tbe Populist party the man who joins It is simply embarking on a vessel without rodder, compass or chart, and with no means of propulsion except auch ae is furnished by shifting winds and tides, which will, if it ia ever heard of again, find some port in tbe mythical land of nowhere, and not one of its crew beable to tell where they came from, bow they got there or what tbey want. W. D. Woods. Elioltt Hakes His Mark. Washington, Feb. 13.?By an over whelming majority the House to-day repudiated the Senate's free silver substi tute for tbe Dingley bond bill, and placed itself on record in favor of sound money. Before the vote was taken Representa tive Elliott addressed the House in opo altion to free silver. Ho was listened to with marked attention, because be is tbe only member of the South Carolina dele gation who is not suffering from tbe silver mania. He was in excellent voice and he bandied his subject admirably. He said he was against the Senate amendment as he bad voted against all Impositions for tbe free coinage of silver n past years whenever the question came up on its merits. He added that the peo ple of his district are much divided upon thla quest Ion, yet a great majority of tbem are altogether oppos3d to any depreciation of any pairtof our currency. Tbey have very bitter recollections of the evils of a depreciated currency, and they insist that every dollar of onr money shall be kept of the sane value as every other dollar of it. Mr. Elliott alluded to Senator Till man's speech delicately, Baying: "I will take occasion here to say, in view of what has been said elsewhere, that they thoroughly on domo and approve the course of the President in the action whiob he has deemed it necessary to take for the prese vation of tbe financial honor of tbe coun try. They endorse and approve all that he baa done ; and they do not believe that any executive baa ever surpassed him in bis determination to uphold tbe honor of this country and protect in all respects its interests. I say this not only in behalf of tbe great majority of the people of my district, but as voicing tbe sentiment of j thousands of people throughout my State who thoroughly approve his course." He said he could not understand why tbe repesentatives of the cotton producing districts of tbe South should think that this measure is of such importance to them. "With whom do we deal?" he in quired. "Where do we send our products, the enormous crops that we produce every year, fur exceeding what can be consumed in this country? Do we deal with silver countries ? Do we deal with China, Japan and Mexico? Why, no. All of our surplus product is substantially sent to tbe gold countries of Europe?England, Germany and France. When we consider the vast amount of cotton alone that is shipped to those countries I cannot un derstand bow gentlemen can maintain that it is to our interest to advocate a system of currency entirely opposed to that which they are using. During last year we shipped to these oountries tbe following enormous amounts: United Kingdom, 3,468,255 bales, worth ?101,686, 650 ; Germany, 1,500,309 bales worth 543, 075,399 ; France, 773,734 bales, worth $21, 583,890 ; total, 5,732,298 bales, worth ?166, 345 939. "Now what will be the result if we go upon a silver basis? The distinguished Senator from Nevada (Mr. Stewart) said over twenty years ago in the Senate, ad vocating the declaration that all the bonds should be paid In gold : 'By this process weBbal1 come to a specie basis, and when tbe laboring man receives a dollar it will have tbe purchasing power of a dollar, and he will not be called upon to do what ia impossible for him or the producing classes to do, figure upon tbe exchanges, figure upon the fluctuations, figure upon the gambling In New York ; but he will know what bis money is worth. Gold is tbe universal standard of the world. Everybody knows what a dollar in gold is worth.' "Now what would the people of the South, the cotton producers, do if this country were put on a silver basis? Tbey would have to hamper themselves In the way Senator Stewart describes. 'They would have to figure upon the gambling.' We could not bave a better description of the condition that would come upon the South if free coinige of Bilver is adopted than what was Haid by Seaator Stewart in this statement, when speaking on another subject. "The gentleman from Texas yesterday, in Bpeaking on this subject, advocated the free coinage of silver because gold, be said, was appreciating in value and bad been for twenty years past, Bince 1873, and he proved that, he claimed, by tbe fact that cotton had fallen In price, from 1873 to the past year, from about 22 cents to about 7 cents. But why did the gentleman ntsrt at 1873 ? Why did he not go back farther and see what were the facts as to the price of cotton ?" Mr. Elliott then went on to elaborate bis subject in a manner tnat won him tbe commendation of bis associates.?Special to News and Courier. Something Very Nice.
