JIary WIHoii hail passed tbo.llrst sev
enleen jears of her life In a country
village; then she went to the-city to
visit her brother, arid found Us attrac
tions so alluring that six months passed
away and the llmo of her return to coun
try liftiwas, as yet, Indefinitely post
poned. Tor two months previous toher
visit bet country friends had led with
each oilier in telling her tales of the
cunning, the wickedness, the subllllty
of city sharpers, pickpockets and burg
lars, until tile Idea bec.miu firmly fixed
in Iter mind that she was going into a
den of thieves; hut a9 yet she had met
with no adventure worthy of nolo and
was fast reaching the conclusion tli.it
city people were no worse than their
country neighbors, when something oc
curred which rained her, for a short
time at least, to chango her mind. Hut
of this mora anon.
Sho was still heart whole, although
she had been smight by several very
eligible suitors since her arrival In the
city, for slid was a pretty gltl, very de
sirable for her own sweet sake, but still
more so as JIary Wilson, sister of the
wealthy and Influential lawyer Wilson.
And this was how matters stood, when
one babirain (lie riiunced to see a

towaid a large closet at the other side
of the apartment. lie opened the door
and stepped Inside; one glance told her,
that the key was lu the lock; tho. rati
swiftly actoss the room, her feet mak
ing little or no sound ou the thick car
pet. "Confound lt-,n she heard hi in
mutter, "why.cnn't they leave things
where, a fellow can flhd them?" "Yes."
she thought, "my first surmise was cor
rect; it was a burglar."- 'ilkp a flash
she threw herself ng'alnst the door and
turned the key. She was terribly f tight
ened and felt quite sure that she should
faint.
"Who locked that door?" he asked.
And she answered promptly, "I did."
"What for?"-
"Why, to lock you In there, of course','
and I don't Intend that you shall get'
away either."
There was silence fora minute or two,
then the prisoner remarked: "Don't you
think tills joke has, gone about far

There's a darling."
"Oh 1 you wretch, you villain! How
dare you?"
"How dare I what?"'
"Why, call 1110 Unit."
"Thought it was my sister, by Jove!''
he exclaimed, In a low tone. Then he
bent down and took a look through tl)o
keyhole. This was what he saw: A
graceful, girlish llgure, robed in soft,
clinging material; a bright, self-reliant
f.ice,friuged with masses of Unify brown
hair. It look him some time to make
these observations,1 for the keyhole was
fo small that he could see but a part cf
the pretty picture nt once. Then ho
remarked: "I think, Miss, that there Is
some mistake."
"Oh, yes, I suyposeso," sarcastically.
"I think I came Into tho wrong
house."
"I think you did."
"Isn't this No. -I?"
"No, Indeed, It is No. 2."
"Well, I stop at No. -I; camo there

"Humph, a likely story."
"I hope you may Ilnd It acceptable,"
remaikctl the young man, who occas
ionally dabbled in literature. Then the
comical side of the affair forced Itself
upon him, and he laughed, actually
laughed; she heard him.
"You seem to enjoy the situation,"
she said somewhat spitefully, thinking
it proof of his total depravity.
"I do. Immensely."
"I should think you would, with the
gallows Muring you In the face."
"The'gallows?"
"Yes, I am sure my brother w ill have
you hanged," ' -
"Your brother?" then doubtfully ami
hesitatingly: "Are you Delia Clailc?"
"No. indeed, Iain not,"- very ener

always designated ns ."a dlc-awny sort

tIie NEW PENSION BILL.
The'soldlcrs all over the country have
reason to rpjolco at the passage In the
Senate of the new pension bill. If It
once becomes a law, a great stride for
ward will have been taken towards
remedying the Injustice which has;been
meted out to thoso who gaye life or
health for the preservation of the
Union. The salient features of the bill
are:
first That every man who served
not less than three months during the
war of the rebellion, who was honorably
discharged, who Is dependent upon his
own labor for support, and who Is now
or shall hereafter become disabled from
performing labor, shall receive a pen
sion. Second That this pension shall be
$21 a month for those who arc wholly
Inearable of performing manual labor,
and a proportionate amount for those
whose disability Is less, hut that no
Vension under this or any other law
shall bo less than $-1 a month:
Third That any one who has already
filed a claim fora pension under existing
laws mav elect to take his pension under
this law. It will be noticed that the
objectionable w.ords "and such election
shall be final," whjch appeared lu bills
of previous sessions, Is omitted from
this:
Fourth That In' the case of depend
ent parenls.lt shall only he necessary to
show the fact and cause of death, that
tho soldier has no wife or minor children,
and that the par.ent has no other means
of comfortable support than his or her
own manual labor.
i
Fifth That In all pension proceedings
the fact that the'applicant was regularly
enlisted and mustered in "shall be con
clusive evidence of soundness at tho
time of his enlistment, except in case of
fraud."
It Is to br. hoped that there will be no
quibbling oyer this bill w hen It comes
before tho House. The government
would be ungrateful, Indeed, If It did
not make ample provision for Its dis
abled soldiers, and every friend of loyal
ty and of the Union will favor the pro
isions of the bill. True, It does not
go as far as It should, yet it Is so much
better than anything that has yet been
done for the faithful that there Is occa
sion for rejoicing. Tho poor-houses of
the country can yield up, their soldier
Inmates, tliould the bill pass, and a
great stigma will have been raised
from the shoulders of Uncle Sam. It Is
a good beginning, but the ending is still
better.
