Branscome was a Christian man, but

Mrs. Itranscotne'u mind, tm had boen

and ktunn. She thought of the home
less creature who misfit be abroad,
sliiv-ritip; and wTeteheil. for whom
;. vnitcd no warm tircKidc and pood
cheer, and her tender heart grew sad.
i hen sho pictured some brutal, half
starved wanderer rrozinjr in npon them,
as they tat surrounded by luxury and
war, nth, and beiu goaded to some
crime or to madness by the contrast.
She bhud.lered, and l.iyino; down the
bright worsted with which the had been
wormng1. sinueii as we nave itetore re
lated, and arose to draw the curtain.
Kranscome opened his eye lazily,
watched his wife's movements and was
staring- me.iitatively into tho fin when
ihe returned to her chair.
'Iave," said Mrs. Branscome
"l.h, well, my dear," answered her
pous:.

H rid i u;f the pas to investigate a noise
he heard in the basement, would, no
doubt, have secured a lartfe riuamity
of plunder. As it was they took all the
silver in the bouse."
"Smith was a fool to light the gs,"
answered Uranaoonic.
"lint, my dear, he could not investi
gate without a lig-ht."
"Nonsense! Mm B. Smith is a cow
ard. Now if buxKlars should pet into
my house, what do you think I would
do?"
"I don't know, I'm .sure," said Mrs.
l'ranseome, with a shudder, "but I hope
you would do as Mr. Smith did. strike
a liyht rind frighten them away."
"Yes, or make a target of myself. I
thinlf that I'm a match for an ordinary
burglar, and I thiuk I should try and
surprise him."
r.ransoome was Indeed a match, even
more than a match in physical strength
for any common luaurauder, and may
therefore be pardoned for making
the statement. Of magnificent propor
tions, he was a trained athlete aud hud
leen the crack oarsman of the college
crew , could run, box and fence like a
professional.
When Branscome's after-dinner cigar
wns naup-ht but a fragrant memory and
the hands of the clock pointed to ten
the gas was turned out in the parlor
and, after Mrs. B. had Inspected the
fastenings of the windows aud doors of
the rooms upon the basement flotir th
dininff-roora, kitchen and store-room,
she ascended with her husband to their
bed -chamber. The sound of the rale
lulled them to sleep end for two or
three hours thcsiltnco of the house w as
unbroken.
Suddenly Mrs. Branscomc awoko out

pave:" she cried, in a terrified
whisper, at the same time vizinr him
by the shoulder. "Wake up. Iuv,
thc-re i Home one in the hou.su."
Bratiscome sat up in bed. sle-cpily
rubbinjr his eyes. The sound was rt
peatsl and he was wide -aw aka in an
instant,
lie placed his hand over his wife's
mouth and said in a whisjier: "Lie
perfectly still, and whatever happens
do not strike a liifht or make a sound
until I call to you."
"Oh, Dave," beg-an his trembling
wife. "Be silent." he whispered, sternly,
"and obey."
Branseome &roe softly and groped
hi- way to the corner of the room
where he knew he would find a pair of
Indian club. He seized one firmly and
softly entered the halL Again he heard
the sound of a footstep. He stole to
the end of the hall and listened at the
door of the room where Bridget, their
one servant, slept. A heavy snore pro
claimed to him that she was within and
sound asleep. Softly descending the
stairs he entered the parlor all waa
dark and silent. The storm had ceased
and the night w as still, the darknasa in
tense. Branseome stood several minutes lis
tctihijr; then came the sound again, and
ttii.s time he va.s able to locate it in the
dining-room, directly lelow where he
stoivd. It was evident that the burg-lacs
iVlt themselves safe, knowing that the
entire parlor-tloor intervened between
them and the sleeping-rooms of the
fa miry, and they went about their work
with no little noise. Branseome heard
a chair overturned and then the clink of
silver.
Now r.ransfomc was an enthusiast in
regard to antique silver. His sideboard
was laden with choice early Italian and
old Knglish plate, which he used every
day ujMui his table and never locked in
the safe at night. The thought that he
was about to be roblted of theite roused
him t'i a grim fury against the vandals
who had invaded his home to despoil
him of his possessions. He set his
teeth hard, grasped the Indian club
firmly and made his way toward the
basement stairs.
The door creaked loudly as he cpenel
it, aud for ten or fifteen seconds there
was silence, then directly below him,
apparently approaching the foot of the
4l;.ir. he heard a sound like muffled
footsteps.
The burglars were frightened, ho
thought, and were atiout to eseapev.
The basement hall was eu wrapped in
inky bla-knvs. Branseome had des
cended the stairs when he heard again
an approaching sound. The miscreant
(ccmcd alniut to ascend. liaising his
Indian club, Branseome sprang; for
w anl. striking at the same time a blow
that would have killed an ox.
The blow fell on empty air, and
Branseome fell, face first, iuto ice-cold
water, which dripped from his single
garment as he re. sputtering and
cursing and called to Mrs. Branseome
to bring a light.
What Mrs. Branseome had suffered,
lying silent In the darkness, expecting
any moment to hear the sound of a
struggle and the cries of the wounded,
may be imagined.' At the call of her
husband she sprang from the bed, lit
the lamp and with trembling liinbs
.iiirricd down ta'r.s. Bridget, loo, had
T-en arousd, and in a picture r.riue com
bination of red flannel and green plaid
shawl followed her mistress.
At the head of the basement stairs
Branseome, shivering and swearing,
with streams of dirty clay-colored
water streaking his features and drip
ping from his robe du nvit, dawned upon
them.
I grieve to relate it, but those two
heartless women laughed long and loud
at the sight, while Branseome in of
fended dignity sought the seclusion of a
iry nightgown, and the spare room,
and w as seen no more that night.
The heavy rain had so ovcrrtushed
the sewer that the water had "backed
up"' and laid the basement floor four
teen inches under water. The move
n .i:t of this miniature flood had pro-ue-.'d
the sound resembling footsteps,
id the overturned chairs and light
b!s, floating on the surface of th-j
ter. bumping a-fainr-t each other and
. lin-f in co:ita.-t with tho walls had
n mistaken for the movements of a
urglar.
Branvrorac l:.ks to tell a good story,
.it lie never relates this night's cxperi-'.-.,
and I venture to say that w hen
-t he gees on a t.till hunt for a bur
' r he will take Mrs. B.'s advice and
.ir-t strike alight. Lou V. Chapin, in

The ex-banker went on to tell that
he had proof that his partner drew the
original draft of the emancipation
proclamation, besides doing mauy other
things of vital importance. The pu'j

tauniiiaetur ng a great hoax and stir
nnvf up ci.cite:u.-nt.
A few yiars a.f. tiie p dice of Xcr
irk had a.i ei;.cri'.".i ;e of this kinii,
About which they d. - ;i:ie to talk eve;.
et. One day a i f respectable n;v
p.-aratc walked into police head
q Jurters at Xetvar.; a. d ..aid: "I om a
dry goods merei.e.v.t iroui Ciiicago. 1
trs passing through here and stopped
oil at the ttttioa. I ha 1 a valise with
twenty-seven tiiousand uollara in biL .'
in it- I left the valise en a seat in th .
waiting room whil I stepped out for
moment. When I came back it wu..
gone. I am fortunately not entirely
without money, a 1 happened to have
a few hundred tloliLir. in ny riockct."
The police were at lirt inclined to
doubt, but when the man told of two
men who had followed him from Chica
go and acted suspiciously, the chief
was interested. He ordered diligent
search for the robbers. Circumstances
came up which verified the man's story,
and the result was a great hue and cry.
The man went to a hotel to await de
velopments. He spent his own money
freely, and encouraged the police in
every way. Several days passed. The
story and the descriptions of the sup
posed robbers were telegraphed all over
the country. Would-be detectives in
small towns made arrests. The news
papers were full of it and the mystery
grew each day. Finally the man from
Chicago took one of the detectives aside
and said to him:
"Perhaps I should have explained one
feature of this 'case sooner. It may
have an important bearinir. The fact
is I am Jeus Christ. 1 think these rob
bers may have been the devil in dis
guise." The detectives stared at him and then
called in other detectives, who put the
man under arrest. At firt it was
thought that the loss of the money had
turned his head. But it at last came
out that aside from the fact
that he was a Chicago merchant the
story was false in every particular.
The police were enraged, and locked
the hoaxer in an asylum as soon as pos
sible. They still remember the great
laugh that arose all over the country.
Inspector Byrnes tells a story of the
same nature. A merchant who lives
here and is reputed as sane as anyone
could lc came to him one day and said
that his wife was being annoyed by
annonymoua letters from a woman who
was trying to blackmail him. He went
on to tell ail about the contents of the
letters, and the inspector began to feel
greatly interested in the case, which he
realized wa diCiculL At length he
said:
I can see only one way. We must
bring this woman face to face with
your wife.'
n.,,
wM the merchant, "that
n
SI.SO and
WJ1.
would never do. 1 ou see my wiT.i Ls a
wonderful woman. She can read peo
ple's thoughts. She can look right into
:ay mind and see what is going cn
there. All she has to do is to take hold
of :ny great toe. Then she reads my
thoughts."
The inspector caught on at once and
remarked that this was a strong objec
tion. He got rid of the man as .soon as
possible and never saw him again. As
he is still doing business, it is s-.ir.v.ised
that he keeps his craze to himself and
carefully guards his feet from his wife.
One day a man rushed into police
headquarters much excited. He was
leaf and dumb. He seemed almost
I t, rostrated with terror. Aftt'r they had
caliued him a little, he explained that
he hail been robbed of four thousand
dollars by some men, who had thrown
him down and nearly choked hl::i to
death. The inspector had a searching
examination made, and after a day or
two proved conclusively by the n-an's
friends that he had not been robbed,
and that he was not even deaf and
dumb. The inspector was not pleased
at having this sort of a trick played
upon him. So he sat the man down in
a chair and engaged him in conversa
tion. One of the d-.-tcet ive sergeant.,
s.'pped up r-chind him :.nd jablxsl a pin
into his back about two inches. The
deaf and dumb man rose stra'ght up
and yelled:
"(Jreat God, inspector, what was
that?"
"That," said the inspector, "is icy
cure for dumbness. Gitl'
He was gone, and seem- to have been
permanently cured.
Captain Beiily tells of n man who
called on hir.i a short time ago with an
odd complaint. He was a quiet, '. :i
tlemanly person, well ndvane'ed in
years. He said: "I am mmh trov.bl-'d
with large steamboats plowing up and
down near my house r.t ni.'lit. They
make a great whistling and blowing,
and I cannot sleep for theia."
Captain Beiily suppos.-d the man
lived near the water front, anil said:
'Wh.re is your home?"
"I live on Seven toeenth street,
tween Seventh and Lighth ave
nues" said he. "The steamlniats go up
and down Seventeenth street. It ii
very annoying."
"It must be." said Captain Kc-illy.
'I'll bare it stopped."
The next day he s-nt nronnd and t ld
the mzn that he had had the steam": tout i
stopped. A few days afterward the
man called and ih inked him. "They
have s-topped entirely." said he, "and I
can never repay yoa."
"1 hat's all ritrLt," said the police
of.i -er. "Seventeenth" street is not a
water thoroughfare and we never coiil.l
allow it. Y'ou will not be disturbed
any more."
Ir. Douglas, of the insane board at
the r.elievue no.-pita!, says that these
cases are generally diC'er.it Lo detect. A
f..-w days a;'o a voting German wo:iaii
was broti fht t the usyluni to be exam
ined as t her faulty. They watched
her night and day f' f five days, and sh
neither s;:id nor did anything o'.t of the
way. The sixth day she told the nurse
confidentially f iet (e.1. had r.pp-eared to
her in a vision, and had told her to go and
marry a certain white-haired old man
w ho would meet her in a certain place.
She coinplaiaed bitterly of the hardness
of a lot which would compel her to
waste tier youthful charms, but she
f.aid she must do as the Lord bade h-r.

over, where th y were tae.ght to make
a fine thread that they could never

which she tapped the idlers, and a seach

general being observed. It wa.s at
ii'jout the same date that the laird's
daughter of Barganan Christian Shaw
I-.ersclf commenced the spinning of
fine linen thread in Dundee, selling it
to the lace-makers, and so brought
about what with subsequent imrvove
ments proved to be a great, industry-,
for which good work we may forgive
her for having been the cause of the
burning of five witches. It was not
long afterward that the wife of Fletch
er of Saltoun took a journey over seas
with two experts disguL-cd as servants,
nnd brought back to her parish the
secrets connected with the weaving of
hollands, "to the great enrichment of
the inhabitants.' It was a woman, too,
who in IT.-') brought into Scotland from
Holland, where nln;st all sin h ideas
seem to have l.ecii i,i a very forward
state, the art of spinning white sewing
thread, and we can pi-eture to ourselves
the need she had ot it In-iore she went

waited, like a spy, among foreign peo
ple, in order to bring it into use a
great business now. giving support to

"A traitor!" exclaimed the men, start

"Yes, comrades, we are betra3'ed:
