wty sad story to U-ll,
a tale that oppress

mind,r Ingan Conrad GarlxT.
"I was on duty in Albany in th

"But I paid no attention to them
keeping on the even tenor of my
way, although I w as perfectly aware
that on several occasions obstructions
had been placed in my path while
in pursuit of my duties, and knew
that it must h'ave t?en done by
some of those men, but could not
trace it to any one of them.
"One day a merchant' doing a
targe business on Broad way -came to
my" office to engage me to undertake
a job that had puzzled the Mayor's
detectives for a year past.
"He did in extensive business in
the retail dry goods and trimming
line, and was enjoying the patron
age of the wealthier classes.
During the past year he had been
most extensively robbed of various
valuable coods, but was at a loss to
iudrc which of his numerous custc-
" 11 A ! .1-.
mers was the Sly Kleptomaniac ; uui
that the pilfering was done by one
of the wealthy patrons seemed an
assured fact, for the goods were
always of the most costly descrip
tionarticles wliica were asnea ior
only bv people of means.
""I asked Mr. Gillon, the merchant,
if he had rmnloved anv of the oth
er detccti-.es m "his efforts to dis
cover the thief.
"Yes ; each one of tho 'pack'
tried, or made a show of trying, to
detect her for I nm persuaded 'tis
a female hut it all cndeJ in a com
plete failure. That is, added Mr.
Gillon, with a peculiar smile, the
thief was not pointed out to me.

selves, bat thev did not tell me they

"ot at all. sir. rejoined lie.
"The lact is, you have iv colleague.
h.nrp von do not obey the dictate
of the boss of the ling. I firmly be
lieve that such a combination exists
among those fellows, and when nn
offend" r is to 1 caught he will be
caught, and tire rtri. I suspect
that the thief in the present case
has the whole batch in her pay,
while she robs me with impunity."
"My dear sir," exposto!atedl, "do

"Not a bit" repined he. "r have
cri-wtivt nvpr the matter deeply, and
come to the conclusion that a man
set expressly to watch for a thief
must hit on tiie person in a week 8
time, or be must be derelict in his
duty."
"I taking it for granted that I am

at his handiwork. "I would not
hare known mvself had we met in
the Htrcet," as 1 'at once remarked.
"Mr. Gillon added his testimony
to the actor's matchless skill, lor he
not only did not recognize me, bat
could hardly he persuaded that it
was me even after I had made my
self known in his private office.
"Well, well I" said he, surveying
me from head to foot "I'm blent if
I am yet convinced that you are Mr.
Conrad Garber."
"We had quite a laueh bver the
matter, and then I took my post of
observation behind a contrivance ot
my own invention.
"There was an opening in the cen
tre of the ceiling about six feet
square, which was on a direct line
with the sky-light on the roof. This
was constructed to admit sufficient
light to light the centre part of the
store on the first floor.
"This opening I had covered with
a fine wire screen, and the opening
on the third floor I caused to be
covered with a heavy oilcloth, so
j that no one could jKMsibly see me,
i yet enabling me to see all parts of
: tho store beneath me.
"I remained at my post until
noon, but had only seen a young
miss slip a pair of kida beneath her
shawl, after purchasing nothing dur
ing the half hour she remained ex
amining the goods.
"She was, evidently, not the one I
was looking for, so I merely men
tioned the circumstance to Mr. Gil
lon and described her person and
dress, so that he mizht know her
should she call again.
"He scarcely paid any attention to
so trivial an affair, and advised me
to keen mv eve on a certain count
er, where the more costly eoods
would be examined lv the custo
mers. He also said that the real
rush would begin after two o'clock
and continue until five: .then was
my opportunity.
"At about three the store was
crowded , plenty ot sales were made
and all the c!erks were kept busy. I
was not surprised that an adroit
thief, esneciallv if surrounded by
some of her confederate?, could pil
fer with impunitr in such a crowd.
The clerks were to busy to have their
eyes anywhere than on the goods
i - -
'mere.
I "But I had plenty of opportuni
ties for observation behind my mi-
-
tenetrable screen, and it was not
lonff before I beheld something that
commanded my unqualified admi
ration, even while I admitted the
wrong perpetrated.
"A fine, portly lady and a beauti
ful vounz eiil were standing at the
counter on w hich were spread a mis
cellaneous variety of costly articles
laces, ribbons and silk braids.
"The polite clerk was all smiles,
for the ladies had made a number of
nurchases already, as the pile of
parcles in paper testified.
'Suddenly a voice feminine one
called : "Harry, here a moment,"
and the clerk turned his head to the
right, when, like a flash, the young
lady seized a pile of lace, which she
had adroitly covered with her hand
kerchief, and thrust it beneath her
overskirt,and by ; the time the clerk
turned to the ladies again.the young
er one was quietly fingering some
ribbons.
"I glanced at the elder of the two,
and as far as my judgement went,
she was either ignorant of what
had occurred, or she was acting the
innocent to perfection.
"I kept a close watch now on eve
ry movement made by the young
Lady, for I beliefed she was the shop-
lifter that had so long roooeu ana
deceived Mr. Gillon.
"Before they left, the thief had
made two more "appropriations" of
a similar character, without being
detectedy th clerk waiting on
her.
"The elder lady paid for their
purchases, and when they left, the
space vacated was soon taken by
others.
"Thus, thought I, "if the goods
are finally missed, it will be a hard
matter to say who did the pilfering,
for the thief probably never plied
nor iraoe unless mere is a rusii.
niter ana ner compaiuou
"Mr Gillon was excited, and I ,
judged that the thief had been dis-
mvvnvl and the nronrietor informed
of it
- a a ,
"You are excited," said I smiling
ly, as I approached them. Quickly
turning around, the merchant ex
claimed :
"Mr. Garber, this stupid fellow,"
designating the confused clerk with
his finger, has permitted that shop
lifter to purloin about fifty dollars'
worth ot goods lrora under nis nose,
and he was too blind to see it"
rXay, Mr. Gillon," said I, "be not
too impulsive in your coudemna
tion ; the gentleman is not to blame
at all."
"Oh," cried he, as a smile lit up
his features, "you were a witness to
the act?"
"Yes, I saw how it was done. The
lady snatched the laces while your
attention was called to some one
who said, "Harry, here a moment,"
said I, addressing myself to the
clerk.
"Yes, Mr," admitted he. "some
one did call me, but I could not
find out who it was."
"It was the thief herself !" said I.
"But the voice came from my
right and from behind the counter,"
said the clerk. . . j
"Possibly." returned I ; "but an
expert ventriloquist can send his or;
her voice wherever tnev cnocse.
"A light seemed to 1 reak over the
faces of both gentlemen, ana
Mr. !

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15. I8S2.
"Are you not mistaken in the per
son?" ' .
"Not at all sir. . I saw that beau
tiful voung lady take the articles,"
said I.
"Why, Mr. Garber, those ladies
were the wealthy Mrs. Grisworld
and her daughter Miriam."
"It dosen't matter who the par
ties are. l saw uie younger one
take those things," I insisted.
Do you suppose tne two were in
collusion ?" asked he.
"No, I rather think the daughter
alone is guilty, for, as far as 1 ob
served she purloined them in every
instance while the other was not ob
serving her."
' "And vou will , swear to this ?"
asked the still doubting merchant
"I will, n.ost decidedly," said I
"Next morning he took me to
their residence, and when, in the
presence of the elder lady, I made
tho accusation, her surprised ex
pression confirmee my belief thai
sho was not aware of her daughter's
criminal acts, while the bold, defi
ant look and scornful laugh like
wise told me that the beautiful crea
ture not only tacitly acknowledged
her guilt, but was quite indifferent
about the exposure of the same.
"Miriam!" cried the anguished
mother, in an imploring voice and
tearful eyes, "tell these gentlemen
they have made a deplorable mis
take !"
"Why should I," responded she,
with a hardened laugh, "when this
gentleman says positively that he
saw me do it ?" "
"But did vou do it i" asked the
elder lady, in trembling accents.
"Of course I did," responded the
daughter. r
"Oh, how could you?"-wailed the
ptricken mother, burying her face
in her hands.
"How could I ?" was the mock
ing reply. "Am I not my father's
daughter? and blod, you know,
H ill tell." r
"Hush, child !" cried Mrs. Gris
wold, as she sprang to her feet with
a frightened expression on her livid
face.
"The daughter smiled bitterly but
said no more, and I was wondering
what she meant by those words.
That they possessed' a terrible sig
nificance' to the elder of the ladies I
felt assured, else why that stern
command and those blanched feat
ures ?
"The girl sat herself at the win
dow and began to drum idly on the
pane with the fingers of her right
hand, while her beautiful black eyes
had a far-off expression in their
depths. There was evidently an un
pleasant secret between the two,
and Mrs. Griswold had been appre
hensive that the daughter, in sheer
recklessness, was about to disclose
it.
"Mr. Gillon," said-the lady, after a
long silence, during which she was
thinking deeply, judging by her se
rious countenance, "1 am construct
ed to believe that my daughter dur
ing a fit of temporary derangement,
has committed what she would tot
even dream of during her sane mo
ments."
"A low, sarcastic laugh came from
the window where sat the girl.
"And under these circumstances
I hold myself responsible for all she
has done while laboring under the
infirmity. Give me the aggregate
amount in a bill, and I shall prompt
ly pay it with interest
Mr. Gillon bowed and said ne
would do as suggested, and Mrs.
Griswold continued :
"Another favor I would ask of
both of you, gentlemen. I would
not have this unfortunate affair ap
pear in the public print. Will you
see that it remains a secret between
us four?"
"We pledged ours.lves to secrecy,
when the gitl left h r seat and stood
befoift us with flashing eyes, and
exclaimed witn muer scorn :
"What an ado about the most
natural occurrence ! hat can be
expected from the daughter of a"
"Miriam V cried her mother,
clutching her by the wrist and gai
ing in her eyes, as if she would stay
her tongue by sheer force of will."
"The impetuous girl snatched
away her hand, and, stepping back
a few paces, said :
"I will speak, mother; T must
unburthen the dreadful thoughts
that have rankled in my bosom for
years ever since J began to realize
my social position I
" h, my daughter,spare me this!"
cried the woman, sinking en her
knee and looking up at her da ugh
ter with imploring eves.
"The girl looked at her pleading
mother and replied :
"Mother, the Scripture saith
"The sins of the parents shall be
visited upon their children, even un
to the third and fourth generation,"
and here we have an illustration of
the truth of Scripture with a ven
geance. Gentlemen," continued she,
turning toward 'us, "niy mother
would delude vou into the belief
that I committed those thefts while
temporarily insane. She is utterly
mistaken. I am sane enough, but
my thiefing propensities are firmly
rooted, I was born with that -desire ;
I inherit it from my father."
"Oh, Miriam! have you no pity

just how cheap a man can live when
he gets down to mush, figuratively
and liM-rallv speaking. Col. Fiiz-
gibbon was, many years ago, col-
nial agent at London for the ( im-
dian iiovemment and was wholly
dependent on remittance from Can-1
ada for support On one occasion
the remittance failed to arrive, and
as there was no cable in those days,
he was compelled to write to hij
Canadian friends to know the reason
of the delay. Meanwhile he had
just one sovereign to live upon

bread, one pennyworth of milk, and
one pennyworth of sugar. He made
pudding of some of the bread and
sugar, which served for breakfast,
dinner and supper, the milk leing
reserved fdrthe last meal. When
his remittance arrived about a
month afterward, he had five shil
lings remaining of his sovereign, and
he liked his frugal diet so well that
he kept it up -for two years, possi
bly longer. Twelve cents a day is
certainly a small amount to expend
for food; but a man in Minnesota,
about three years ago, werried
through a whole year on ten dollars.
He lived on "Johnny cake."
We know of a theological student
in an Ohio college who, sustained
by grace, rice and corn bread, lived
thirteen weeks on seven dollars;
but there were .several good apple
orchards near the college and the
farmers kept no dogs. It is not the
necessaries of life that cost much,
but the luxuries ; and it is with the
major part of mankind as it was
with the Frechman who said that
if he had the luxuries of life, he
could dispense with the -necessities.
Mere living is cheap, but as tne
hymnologiflt says, "It is not all of

Not long ago a couple of mining
men, both strangers to each other,
in h f tU YV.t-
met in the reading room of the Wal
ter House, Harley, Idaho. The
conversation turned on the mineral
developments of the West, and
presently one of the men remarked,
"If you want to see miaing on a big
scale, just go to Southern Utah."
"How big ?" said the other quiet
ly. ' "Why, the Big Hole mine that I
am connected with has the deepest
shaft and the biggest workings in
the world."
"How deep?" said the little man.
"You can't measure it, because if
we stopped work long enough to
see how deep the shaft was it would
materially interfere with the bul
lion produced. We drooped a line
once and reeled it out until it broke
with its own weight. When a boy
falls down that shaft he strikes the
bottom a grandfather."
"Must have a big pay roll?"
"We used to send the money
down to the men in cages until the
workmen got so deep that we didn't
get the Winter account settled until
way along in the Spring. So we
started a bank and telegraphed the
money orders. That system saved
us an awful wear anil tear on the
cages. The miners live down there
and rear their families. They've
got an underground city bigger'n
Salt Lake, with a regular charter
and municipal elections twice a
year. They publish two daily pa
pers atid a literary magazine."
"I never heard of the imigazine."

do you think of that for a mine ?"
Here the stranger who was a Cali
fornian, threw his leg carelessly
over the arm of a chair, and light
ing a fresh cigar, replied in deep,
earnest tones :
"I don't think much of your
mine. You work too much for
small ' rtsults. When vour mine
plays out you have a lot a machin
ery on your hands, and where are
you? You mine after primitive
methods, like all new country. It
takes experience and head work to
tackle the industry in proper shape.
With your mine you must be on
the ground in person, and have any
amount of men to look after this or
that department
Now, I have a bigger mine than
yours. It is located in Storey coun

"How deeD might the shaft be?"
asked the other.
It might be pretty deep if I al
lowed tne men to rush forward and
overdo the thing, but at present
uiere is no short at all.
Hoisting works up?"
"No, no hoisting works not if I
know it You can fool away a good
deal of hard coin on hoisting works."
"How in thunder do you run
your mine?"
"On the assessment plan, sir.
That's the latest and most improv
ed method. We have a big map of

It would be curious,' IT the issue
in the next presidential contest
should relate to the umpirage of the
United States in the Western Hem
isphere. Mr. Krrett, long since
spoke of th "mild umpirage ot the
Federal Union." But Mr. Blaine
has proposed an extention of this
umpirage to the quarrelsome child
ren of South America. The idea
will find favor, not only with senti
mentalists, but with all who are not
impervious to sentiment, and the
fact that such an astute politician
as Mr. Blaine is giving it promi
nence, lifU the question above the
plane of ordinary interest Nations,
no more than individuals, can live
and die to themselves. Vast power
cannot be dissociated from vast re
sponsibility. But the question of
our "mild umpirage" on this side
the globe is not merely one of ab
stract duty to ourselves. The won
derful development of United States
and territories during the last fif
teen yean, brings us much closer to
the time than our fathers expected
to be brought, when the country
will be too small J'.r us. It would
not be too small it' we were Germans
or Frenchmen, but it must not be
forgotten that we are fifty millions
of Americans, with as much steam
and electricity as all Europe rUh

Small has long been the warm friend
