?h* pttw Q&vnttotx. PUBLISHED EVERY TUESDAY. ONE noi,l,AH A. YKAll. Margaret Lee, THE FEMALE DETECTIVE. Sho came into tho office of the chief. Barry Lawrence, with a frightened look in her big brown eyes, reaching out a- trembling hand aa ahe approach ed the detective, in which was held a morning paper. ' " I came in answer to this, air," and Barry Lawrence took the paper, as with one hand he nonohalently remov ed bin cigar from his lips, letting tho blue smoke curl slowly upward, as with half closed eyes, ho looked at the girl narrowly, and after a close scru tiny, his eyes fell upon the sheet before him, to a few printed lines where the long, slender forefinger of tho girl still pointod. "That is intended for men," said the chief as ho arose to his foot. " But you didn't specify, sir," the girl's voice trembled, and thoro was u world of appeal in tho big brown oyeB. Barry Lawronco laughod a ltttlo low laugh. "That is understood," ho said, and rosumod his cigar. ?'You want detectives, sir?" Her hands wore tightly clinohod now, und the chief noticed how cold and bluo they lookod, uud how wan and pitiful tho white, young faco. Her clothing, too, looked very poor. " Como to the fire,'1 ho said kindly, and knocking tho ashos from his cigur, handed the girl a chair. Sho took it gratefully, and thanked him. "What is it you want to do?" Law ronco stirred the firo briskly. It was a morning in oarly mid winter. The chief had been alono in his office until tho girl camo. Ho wus awaiting answers to his advertisement for " Detectives Wanted,'" otc., etc., and expecting men and half-grown boys, but not ono woman or girl. Naturally ho was surprisod. Tho girl cleared her voice, und looked more hopeful. " Why, any thing that you havo to do, sir. I eun find out things as woll us any man." She paused, and caught her breath hard, and continued. "I must havo work, and I am not strong enough to do hard work, and I havo never been taught to do anything in particular, and I haven't much of an education." " Can you read und write ?" tho chief asked. " Oh, yos, sir; anybody can do that," ? naively ; " but I speak of au education, that means a good deal moro than that." She spoko eagerly, und with the sound of longing in her voice "I soo," said the chief, quietly. Ho began to appreciate the girl. "Now, what Is your namo, and where do you live ?" " Margarot Loo," tho girl onswored. "il live at No. 24.[Melon street. I have lived in tho city all of my lifo. I was born here." "Parents living?" " My raothor, sir; and I havo several small sisters and brothers." " Any old enough to work ?" " One brother, fourteen, cash boy in Merwin's." tuK.. " So most of the support falls upon "Indeed, sir. until mother lost her health, she waslu-d and ironod, and even now sows when sho is not ablo," deprecatingly. " What put tho idea into your head of being a detective ?" The chief was apparently becoming deeply interested, and the frightened look left tho girl's face, and a fuint color crept into her pale eheoks. " I've seen things at different times in houses whero I've worked, and in stores, when things were missing, and I often found out who did the wrong, and who made tho troublo when no one elso could, but I never told ; it wouldn't have done any good, and when I was looking over tho paper this morning for work und saw your adver tisement, I thought I would answer it." "Horn, how old are you?" asked Barry. " Twenty-throe." "Indeed! I heardly thought that." " Yes, Bir, I am full twenty-three,'' Margaret answered. " Are you timid ?" "I am not afraid of most things, but I did feel a little afraid of you, sir." TJhejiJ??&f>l^ .; . " ?"?Well, I'll tell you," he said, "1 have some work I beliovo tbnt you euu do; at least I'll try you. Thoro is a good deal of stce.'.ing going on nt Potter's, on Fourth stroet, und bo fur they haven't beon ablo to fasten it on any one. You go down there tomorrow morning, and apply for a position. I'll give them a tip raeanwhilo. and you will got the place. Now, I'm not f:oing to give you a single direction ; f you are a natural or acquired detec tive you will know what to do. Others are .coming in now; good morning," and a few moments later Mni'garet Leo found herself hastening homeward with a lightened heart. The next morning sho took her place in tho grout wholesaln house very quietly, after a few moments' con versation with ono of tho proprietors, performing apparently tho same duties as some of tho other girls. " I t's all nonsense, sho won't amount to anything," said the senior partner to Chief- Lawrence, as tho latter strolled lazily into the house a few hours later. " I wish you had put on a man. Men are sharper." "I've put on several men," Lawronco answered, " and so far thoy havo amounted to nothing. You say this stealing has been going on systemati cally for a long timo. You've watched, I've watohed, and my men have beon on guard, and yet we aro all as much in the dark as ever. It is no harm to {rive this girl a trial. I promise you t shall not be a long one." " Very .well; make it short," repliod Mr. Potter, and soon after tho chief took his departure. it was the fourth day of Margaret Lee's trial, whon a sharp, decisive ringat the telephonein his office made Barry Lawrenco spring to his feet with a bound. " Hello 1 What's wanted?" " Como up to the houso at once. Tho number was stated, and the chiof rushed out. In a fow moments more he stood in the private ofllco of Potter & Co., wholesale hOU80, w here, t he senior nild Junior partners and Margaret Iaso wore eougreguted. Mr. Potter, the senior partner, was Sroatly agitated, and was pacing tho oor excitedly to and fro. The junior Sartner sat in a big chair behind tho esk, a id looked severoly at Mt.rgarot Lee, who stood in tho contcr of tho room, vory pale, but very erect and . dignified,! with her slender hands clnsped before her. " Well, what's up?" asked the chief, as he entered the room, and removed his cap. Tho senior partner whirled around, hurrledlyJookod tho door, and without looking at Margaret, snapped his nfcgers in hor direction. " That girl accuses my forewoman, a laxly who baa been with us for years, wi?,h'boing tho miscreant. It?uiio? ho stamped his foot, and grow Miss Ray," naming the forewoman, "is the soul of honor."* Margaret smiled against her will. " She is certainly the thief," she said to the dotcctlve. " Can you prove It V" asked Barry, kindly feeling that Miss Lee spoke the truth. " Yes, sir, without a doubt." *m "That Is all we want." He turned to the junior partner. "We don't want her proofs," said that gentleman, sarcastically. "But you must have them, and I must have them. This is business, not aentiment. Miss Lee," turning to Margaret with a great deal of respect, " when can we have the proofs r" "The best time is just after the clos ing hour, or, rather, ?fter everyone is supposed to have gone home for the night. Manage tosteretoyourself near the toilet room, and you also, gontlo men," to her employers, "ana I will prove my words true." " Bah !" exclaimed the sen'or part ner, " it will probably be a put up job." " You ore hardly just, Mr. Potter," sold tho chief, mildly. " Hem, hem, ugh;" grunted Mr. Potter. He wos olmost in love with his forolady, with her handsome face and stylish figure. There was the usual bustle and chat ter at closing time, and one after tho others both girls, womon, men and boys departed, Margaret among them. But in the dimly-lighted hall she easily escaped notico, and quietly re turned. No ono saw hor entoi* savo the chief, Barry Lawrence, who was cnoealea behind a stack of boxes and gc ' * Mr. Potter, the senior parti had gono off In a hurry, but tho , unlor partner remained, and he also was deftly hidden away, but his sharp eyes looked from a loophole and saw ail. Margaret Leo quietly slipped out of sight, and tho janitor, looking hastily about thinking ovorything was ail right, hastily extinguished the lights. A few moments later he closed tho outside door, and the keys grated in tho lock amid tho fast gathering dark ness. A half hour passed, and It eeemod a long timo to tho trio, when a light foot-stop was heard, and out from tho darkness a form glided stealthily. Tno watchers caught their breath and silently waited. Tho form pausod a moment and then glided to a Bowing machino in tho center of the room, and, stooping, struck a match softly upon tho Moor, and as it flared up, the fucc of a woman bonding ovor it was plainly visible It was Miss Ray. Tho match soon died out, but it gave uutlloicnt light for an Instant for hor to reach out and draw several boxo? toward hor, and then sho remov ed tho lids and began romoving the pieco8 of goods, silk and velvet there in.. The watchers could not see just what she took, but thoy heard tho rust le of tho silk and paper, and folt rathor than saw her take a. stout, cord from her pocket, and, after seemingly folding the goods into as small u com pass as possible, she arose to her foot. Thenalifting her dress skirt, tied tho string across which hung tho various pieces of goods around hor waist. Soft y shaking out her skirts, sho then quietly unlocked tho door and lo.t tho room. All this time the watchors mado no sign, but us tho last sound of the echo ing footsteps died away in tho distance, one and all uroso. Marghret, trembling and breathless, came torwarU from hor place of con cealment, just as Barry Lawrenco lit t'gas and turned it down low, and seeing her approach he took off his hat and bowed. " You are u jowol," ho exclaimed, heartily, "How did you lind this out f" " I beg your pardon, Miss Leo," and tho junior partner who had drawn near extended his hand. Margaret took it cordially. "It is granted, sir," sho said, then turning to Barry, '"Oh, I just watchod. 1 frequently saw Miss R. folding and putting things uway in what Boomed to me a mysterious and unusual man ner thatat once awkenod my suspicions. I know sho could have no opportunity ' of taking those things away in tho duy time, and so for several nights I have remained hero to find out. Two nights I remained hero all night." " Remained hero alono V" ejaculated tho junior partner, in surprise. "Certainly, sir." " And you .weren't afraid ?" askod tho chief, jocularily. "Well, no, but I'll acknowledge it was very cold and lonely," answered Margaret. Barry Lawrenco smiled. "You'll do," he said, sentontiously. Tho junior partner rubbed his hands. " Father will have to bo convieced with his own eyes, for ho'll not beliovo even mo, so wo will do nothing further until I have seen him." . . -.... Tbv4--lri?*'rcm?ined for some timo after this, and then as it was growing very luto dispersed, tho Chief seeing Margaret safely to her own door. " 1 will detail a steady watch here, after this." said Mr. P., junior, as ho bade the others good night. A few nights later tho senior part ner was fully convincod, and in a very quiet manner sent for his forolady to come to bis private office, where ho plainly preferred his charges and dis missed hor. At first sho appeared very indignunt and stoutly denied it, but when sho loarnod that ho was a witness, sho broke down and confessed all. Out of respect to her family no arrests wore made. Socn after this Miss Leo was placed in a another of tho Queen City'B most prominent houses and did very effec tivo work. Later sho wus domiciled in privato residence on Walnut Hills. Hero she found tho culprits existing in the proprietor's own family, where instead of treating her kindly as sho Tlesorvod they upbraided her and denied tho facts. Cincinnati has lost a number ono de tective, whoso advico is often sought yet in regard to these matters, and whoso scent Is as keen as that of a sleuth hound to ferret out crimo, but sho has found employment more con genlal at thrco dollurs a day for sho could not afford to waste health, strength and timo and run risks of her life and bear insult and calumny for the paltry sum of six dollars per weok. ?American Former. A Compromise.?An English justice sentenced a couple to matrimony undor circumstances which seem legally just, although legally curious. A young man and young woman we'ro contest ing possession of a piece of property, tho one claiming it under an old leaso, the other under an old will. "It strikes mo," said the justice, "that there Is a pleasant ana easy way to terminate tho old lawsuit. Tho plain tiff appears to be a respoctablo young man, and this a very nice young woman. They can both get married and livo happily on tho farm. If thoy go on wit., law proceedings it will be fritter ed away among lawyers who, I am sure, aro not ungaliaut enough to wish the marriage not to como off." Tho lady blushed, and tho young man stammor ed that thoy "liked oach othor a bit," so a verdict wos entorod for tho plain tiff on condition of hispromlso to marry tho defendant within three months, o stuy of execution being put totho verdict till tho coromony should bo comploted.

The great captains have not Bprung from warriors, and those who have composed the dramas, written the lyrics and pronounced the orations that are immortal have inherited noither their passion nor their eloquence. A Eodigreo may be gratifying to pride, ut it is not consoling to ambition. Those who greatly succeed are not always those of whom success could be predicted. It is sometimes said in ex planation of the caprices of destiny that circumstunces make heroes, and that ohance favors the victor. But the reverse is true. Men make circum stances.

Ingalls. DOMESTIC IMMIGRATION. Ono of tho main topics for considera tion by tho recent conference of South ern Governors at Riehmond, Va., was immigration. Tho sparsely populated Southern States uudoubteUly need more peoplo to thoroughly develop tho rich native resources of this section, but it is not foreign immigrants thai aro needod so innen us domestic immi gration from tho overcrowded North to tho scantily populated South. Tne country at lurgo does not need immi gration from other countries. What is needod is diffusion of our present popu lation. Wo havo plenty of people in America?certainly enough to make tne competition for employment eager and tho struggle for existence quite active and earnest. Wo uro aware that ac cepted authorities have estimutcd that we can accommodate seven times our present numbers without equalling Europe in density of populution. We should faro as well?probably bettor? if not another foreign immigrant should land on our shores for another decade. What is really needed, we re peut, is diffusion of our present popula tion. In all sections of tho country wo find an exodus from the country to tho cities, with the result of a sort of con gested urban population und a thinning out of the country districts. This urban congestion is more apparent in tho North than tho South. The character of immigration most desirable for tho Sont hern Stutes would eonio from tho Northwestern States. The South needs tho help of this class to dovolop its agricultural, mineral and timber resources, us well as to increase its representation in tho halls of national legislation. Tho sparsonoss of tho population of tho Soul hern Stutes was vividly portrayed by tho late Henry Grudy, of Atlanta, in a memorable speech at Boston, wherein he stated tnat if till human beings in tho South ern Stutes were scattered over tho Smith's vast urea ut equi-distant posi tions, tbey WO*lld not bVwltMfc 'nulling distunce of each other. Tho singlo State of Texas could have taken the entire inflow of foreign immigration at Castle Garden for the past ton years and still havo room to spare. But it is not foreign immigration that Texas or any other State should desire, but native Amorican immigration from tho Middle and Western sections or the North. This would supply the South with labor for tho industrial dovlop ment of tho host portion of America, and at the same time reliovo tho North of its congestion.?Tennessee Farmer.

Mario Nevins-Ilhiiiic to Become tlie Wife of Dr. Bull. I Young Mrs. Blaino is to change her namo, says tho Now York Herald. She is going to bo married to Dr. William T. Bull. There havo been many rumors of an engagement, but ull theso havo boon denied until now, when tho announcement is authorita tively made. Evor since Dr. Bull was called in to attend Mrs. Blaino pro fessionally whon sho was lying W with 1 rhoumatism at tho New York Hotel, 1 almost at the very moment when sho i had hoped ?<> mako her triumphal debut on tho professional stage, there i has beon a luiggostion of romance about their association.

Sho I is a Catholic, and tho Catholic Church inoxorably and without exception for bids tho marriage of a divorced person while tho former husband or wife is living.

She went to Dakota for that purpose ami her husband put in no defense. At tho time of her Illness physicians of high rank pronounced Mrs. Biaine's caso practically incurable. From the moment Dr. Bull was called to hor bodsido ho brought words of encourage ment and hope to tho young woman. Nor was that all.

To the Editor of The State: Tho social disorder of tho year 1515 baffled tho sagacity of English statesmen. The smaller farmers, finding it im possible to accumulate money, wore forced to part with their property. They wandered about, not knowing where to go or what to do. This in troduced adangerous leaven of outrage and wrong. The roads were infested with organized gangs of robbers. Laws were passed against the further extension of sheep farms, but the law was fruitless. Sir Thomas More sug gested a remedy, which subsequently I cured tho disorder : " Let the woolen manufacture be introduced, so that honest employment may be found for tjioso whom want has made thieves, or v ill make thieves ere long." It required a century to adopt the i lvice of Sir Thomas More ; but with 110 extension of industry, the mass of i irplus labor was absorbed. Tho condition of aifuirs in South ' arolina today is auulagous to that ol ngland in 1015. Our staple crop is ot wool, but cotton. Men are auvis ng that tho cotton area be limited, ust as the English statesmen triod to { art ail sheep raising, liaising cotton . unprofitable; the musses uro dis ontonted; thousands of young men are coking in vuin for employment. We unnot strangle liurd times by shorten , ng tho cotton area, but we can learn ' Ii lesson from tho stern experience ol i our English ancestors. . Let us manu facture our native products. When : England raised wool for tho looms of j Fianders, Flanders prospered but Eng ' land did not: as long as South Carolina raises cotton exclusively for the loouib of Lowell and Liverpool thoso citiob will prosper, but C arolina will not. Tho loot that wo uro doing as woll as we uro simply proves thut it is very dillicult to starve in u land blessed i>,\ nature. Tue diary of a South Curoliniun might read us follows: ^?

Why we Should Control, the Nicaragua Canal.?In war or in peace tho exclusive control of this canal will ho to us of incstimuble value. For attacking or defending tho coosts of our hemisphere, and tho islumls ad jacent thereto, it is more ndvantage ously situated tban is Gibraltar Tor tho Mediterranean. As a means of uniting tho East and tho West, it will bo of more value than is tho Suez ('anal for uniting Englund with India. The lat ter Bavos out 3,(100 miles, while tho Nicuraguu Canul saves 0,500 in tho voyugo from tho Gulf ports to San Francisco. If wo are to continue our policy of protecting tho smaller states of tho two Americas against tho larger ones, and all of them aguinst foreign encroach ment, wo must control tho cunul. Wo inu:?t also defend our own country. Our Pacific coast is nearly dofoncoloss. From New York to San Francisco it is 13,000 miles by water?half tho oircum foronco of tho globo. Between tho same points by the canal it is only 5.000 miles. From Now Orleans to San Francisco it is 13.500 miles. Tue canal will cut this distance down to 4.000 miles, a still greater saving. Now Englund can burl u fleet against our western ports by way of tho Suez Cunul or from Australia, while another fleet, with a base at homo or at ono of tho numerous British strongholds along our eastern coast, is threatening tho ports on the Atlantic. Not only in war. but ulso In compet ing for tho commerce of the world, und especially of the wostorn hemisphere, will tho nation controlling tho Nicar agua Canal havo an immense advant age. No trado wlM flourish unless pro tected by tho strong arm of military power, and no hotter oxample of ti ii can he cited than that of Englai d. Where all tho great nntions of too world meet in tho canal, and tho nations through whoso territory it runs avo so miserably weak, the Inevltnblo result will bo that it will fnll into tho hands of some grout power. If that power bo not oursolves, thon we may safely bid farowoll to milltnry or com mercial BUpremi ey in America.

A Saving or Forty Per Cent in Fuel fbr Locomotive*. While tho railroad world at large has exercised itself over the wonders performed by the compound engine .as a fuel saver. Mr. E. M. Roberts, of the South Carolina Road, has succeeded in contriving a simple device which enables an ordinary locomotive to run at a given speed with the consumption of little more than half the coal which a compound engine would require on a similar trip. The tests of this device, as they have been made up to date, develop facts whioh will startle the locomotive engineers of the world when they see them. For a number of yearn Inventors have been at temping to contrive some moans or other by which engines will consume less coal. The latest and the most conspicuous step In this direction has been the invention of the compound engine. It was claimed for it that it would not only run faster than the ordinary machine, but that it would consume far less fuel, the latter con slderatlon being the most important ono. Recent tests of compound and simple engines made by the Boston and Providence Railroad showed that in a trip of the same distance the former machine consumed about 25 per cont less coal than tho latter. This was considered a wonderful foat and has boon widely commented on by railroad men. It is nothing, however, to what has been accomplish ed by engines on tho South Carolina Road which have been provided With Mr. Roberta's invention. Tne tests havo boon mado on onginos 15 and 18, running between Charleston and Columbia. Those experiments show that while tho compound onglno con sumes over 25 por cent loss fuel than tho ordinary simple engine, this samo simple engine, provided, with Mr. Roberta's dovico. will consume ovor 12 por cent less fuel than tho compound engine docs. This is of course a most remarkable achievement, and one which will not only astonish enginoors, but which will being fame and wealth to its inventor. Anothor Important thing to bo considered is tho fact that while it cost a groat doul more to con struct a compound engine than it does to build an ordinary locomotivo, Mr. Robert's device can be built into tho latter machine without any additional expense. As it is a difficult matter to describe ntelligently a piece of machinery on paper little need be said of Mr. Roborts's Invention at this time. It consists for the most part in tho con trol of tho draught in tho engine, and is so simple that it is wonderful that I some one 1ms not thought of it long ago. Mr. Roborts has applied for a patent ?>n tho device Speaking of tho ex periments yesterday ho said that while bo believed that his invontion would save much fuel on any engino in which ?t was planed, ho believed that much >f tho credit for the wonderful results already obtained with it was due to the ntolllgent and careful hands in which tho engines were placed. Tho experi ment had been mado under the super vision of somo of tho most experienced and eflicient engineers and firomen which tho road employed, and to them was due no little share of tho admirable results obtainod. It is from their estimates that tho figures given above are taken. An experiment which was made with tho invention a few days ago will explain to .the reading public the practical working of tho device more forcibly than the comparison with tho compound engino does. Ordinarily it requires a fraction less than three tons of coal for an engino and four cars running between Charleston and Branchvtlle. a distance of sixty-two miles, but since Mr. Roborts's device has been placed in the engines they consume only 1)3(1 pounds of coal on tho same trip, or less than ono-sixth as much fuel. These are practical results which speak for themselves, and as they are boing daily demonstrated there can be little doubt of their cor rectness.?News and Courier. ?One of the young ladles of Hender son.
