He was a _of forty-five, unmarried, and an old maid sister kept house "for him. The banker was known asa methodical ‘man, careful in his investments, and one had any fesr of disaster overtak- him. Now and then he had been warned that safe blowers might pay him a visit, but: he had not taken He had a large fire and burglar proof “safe, and a man ‘slept in the room at night on the cot. : On a certain April morning soon after the close of the war Mr. Carter arrived at the bank at exactly 8:30. That was | his usual time to a second. The curtains vere down and the door was locked, and it was only after a panel had been ed out of it that entrancewas gained. There sat Davis, “the ‘watchman, bound fadt to his chair and a gag in his mouth, and the safe door stood wide open. A le had been. drilled and the bolts own back, and the $23,000 sately docked up the evening before was gone. i Davis ‘had all the particulars at his tongue’s end. He had been aroused at midnight by some one knocking on the door Sd asking him for a light by sich to mend a’ broken harness. He denied that he had been asleep, but timed to be “thinking.” Suspecting evil he opened the door, acd three . men rushed in and overpowered him. Afte r making him secure they got their 18 out of a i and begdn operations, and in an hour or so had the safe open: statement thus far was all right and reasonable. | From thenco on it was a er. I was sent down from the city ‘answer to the telegram for a detective, and Davis was of course the first man to He had not been blind- ugh the burglars wore masks and he not get sight of their faces, He de- ed that they did not get a dollar in money and that they cursed and raved and threatened to burn the building in .eonsequence. . out of the safe and opened all the large envelopes, but the sack they had * brought along was lying on the floor as They pulled everything f of Davis's story. _At 5 o'clock of the previous evening Mr. Carter had placed in that safe $21.- - 000 in greenbacks, most of it in small bills. The packages would have‘filled a lawyer's waste basket. Had the burg- lars got them, the sack would have been used, as that sort of men do not sit down ~ and count up and divide their plunder on the spot. Davis was not only believed to be honest, but Mr. Carter believed his story. Itis "needless to observe that T did not. I judged from his physiog- nomy that he was chicken-hearted. He had no marks to prove that he had re- gisted the burglars. I believed he lied “when he said he was not asleep. As a matter of fact, I made up my mind that’ he had ‘stood in” with the burglars and either been ‘‘left”’ on his share or had secreted it around the building and then let them bind and gag him. I ‘think the theory was not only reasonable, but just the one which any other detec: tive would have adopted. + Fortunately for the bank and its ‘de- - + positors the proprietor had plenty of re-- - pervc, and business went on as usual, I ‘was told to go ahead on the case and © work out anything I could, and my first move was to search for Davis's share of the money. Nosign of it could be found about the building. In spite of all my efforts he stuck to his story just as he first told it, and I had to to myself that he appeared perfectly ‘honest and sincere. burglars as well as he was able he men- | tioned that one of them was a very tall man with a hacking cough. “actly fitted Steve Pratt, a burglar, who had been out of Joliet only two months ' after serving a ten years’ sentence.

We had a pretty hot time to secure him, as he was in a desperate mood, but when we had him fast I recognized the chap we had been hunting for. He was Steve Pratt, and no mistake. He denied it, of course, but inside of three days 1 produced such proofs that he finally knocked under. I was never more as- tounded in my life than when I came to Bank affair. He verified the story of the janitor in every perticular, «I shall get ‘soaked’ for this hotel job, anyhow.” he said, “‘and so I might as well tell you about the other. - There are three of us.

Here is what we did find and all we brought away.

On door from without and had carried the key a mile before throwing it away. They had gone away empty handed and mad enough to kill Davis. I don’t go much on the declaration of convicts caught again red-handed, but in this case it did seem as if the truth was be- ing spoken. Had Steve got his $7000 ous of that boodle he would not have been dead broke so quick, for unlike nearly all others of his ilk he was a miser and never gambled. I returned to Raxterville with. my news and asked Mr. Carter if it wae not possible that he had placed the money somewhere else. ‘It is not, sir!” he replied, with more acidity in his voice than the occasion seemed to demand, **That safe was here to put my money in. I putit there. I stacked up the packages with my own hand. I locked the door myself. I alone knew the combination. My book- keeper ever handles a dollar of the money.” “But you have searched elsewhere— in these cupboards and drawers?’ 1 asked. “No, sir; but you seem to wish it, we will do so now.” : For a long hour we searched desks and. drawers and cupboards, but we made no discovery. He was as sure that he put the money in the safe as he was that he was a living man, and the book-keeper was sure that he saw him carrying some of the packages back there. - What had become of that money? If it was taere, why didn’t Steve Pratt and his gang get It? That they didn’t I was now pretty well convinced. The only ‘way that I could reason 1t out was that someone had robbed the safe before the Pratt gang got there. If so, however, it was done by opening the door in the regular way. The banker had said that he alone knew the combination. I led up to the matter again, and he admitted that his sister alse had it, as’ a safeguard against acci- ent, I now began work on an entirely new theory. I felt that the key of the mys- tery was in the hands of the sister, though I was far from hinting any such thing toa living soul. Itook my quar- ters in the town and began on the new theory. - I soon found that Anna Carter was a spinister ‘of thirty-five, and was generally Tegarded as a strong-minded womar. She had money of her own, and she knew how to invest it to makea profit. She now and then, so it was said, gave her brother hints which he found to be valuable in a business way. Coming down to the burglary, I found that she was under the care of the doctor off and on for a month previous with some nervous trouble. = For some reason which she did not explain Miss Carter refused to even see me while I was consulting with her brother at the house. = There are plenty of people, ‘and good people, too, who dislike detectives, but I take no offence at it. Every man to his notion, say I, provided his notion does not lead to crime, Had I sat down tointerview the lady, however, the cuse might not have been helped along any. It had occurred to me, as. you may have suspected, that the sister had robbed thu safe herself while 1n a state of somnambulism. Thad a talk with her doctor, and he agreed that her condition during the first week of April favored such a thing. Indeed, on the morning the robbery was dis: covered he had been called in, to find her very much exhausted, and she de- clared that she was as stiff and lame as if standing at the washtub all day. 1 was now satisfied that I was on the right trail. * I found that Mr. Carter al- ways carried his key Home, and that the watchman never left his in the lock at night. I went for Davis again, and he finally admitted that he was asleep from 10 o'clock until aroused by the burglars. ‘the end of the case was as mysterious as the beginning. One night when I had reasoned it all out and felt satisfied in my own mind, but could see no way to secure proofs, I got so nervous that I arose at midnight and went out on the street for a walk and a smoke. I took no heed of my direction, but at the end of ten minutes I found myself in front of the banker's cosy home. It was in total darkness,as well as others in the village, but I leaned up.against a tree box and stood gazing = the windows as. 3 ex- something ta happen to puil my a Something did happen. I was within six feet of the gate and I suddenly saw a figure in femal dress interview him about the Raxterville leaving the bank they had locked the on her arm. I followed a few yards behind her, steadilyon and went straight to the bank, I was sure of her then. She paused at the door for a few seconds to unlock it and then disappeared inside. Five seconds later Davis was shouting and a woman's voice could be heard ut- tering ‘shrill screams. I opened the door and entered, and the mystery was solved at last. There stood Miss Anna, just’ aroused from sleep, and in the basket on her’ arm was that missing money. Davis was lying down, but not asleep, when she entered, and he had at once seized her. How did she get the money from the safe! Bhehad been reading about bur- glars and gone fo.the bank in hersleep. Bhe had entered and secured the money and left again’ without arousing Davis. The burglars came later on. She had taken the money home and concealed it, but in what spot she could never deter- mine, She probably did not walk again until the night she returned it. There was anew safe and a new combination, but as she knew the word she might -have restored the money and escaped unseen but for the vigilance of the watch- man, To this day no one in that vil- lage except brother, sister and Davis knows how that money was restored. They even declare that not a dollar was ever recovered, and that I had to throw up the case for ‘want of brains to strike a clew.—8t, Louis Republic.

The slopes by which we ascended were smooth and’ wide, better than some highroads trave ersed all day long by passengers. Fre= quently we came upon enormos heaps of cannon balls providently stored in case of need, or we found an embrasure in’ the living rock through which a gun was pointed as though ready to begin work on the spot, surrounded by all the neces- sary ammunition. ‘Sometimes the dark- ness was so dense that I scarcely dared move my feet for fear of falling over one or other of those iron monsters, an on more than one occasion I was forced to strike a match to find my way through those gloomy caverns, while I found: myself nearly always lagging behind my guide, who, knowing the way and being more active on his legs, kept going on ahead till he reached the next loophole, where he waited for me. At last we reached a spot where the passage was barred by thick timbers, and -whera my guide told me we could go no further, as this was the reserved part of the fortress, where excavations are still being made to continue the enormous to all outsiders; and even the officers of the English Army not actually on-duty at the works are scarcely allowed to see it. I had, therefore, to resign myself to forego the sight of the greatest part of that mysterious cavern, and approached the pearest loophole—the highest we had yet passed—to admire the delicious view and breath the fresh air to which it gave access, - From the cursory examination, which, considering the precautions necessary there, was all I was able‘to make of the immense fortress, I gathered that itis an impregnable position, which, bristlicg with cannon and Dioreed with loopholes looking in every tion from which an enemy could conceivably come, makes it simply impossibly for any army to seize it by force.

It is not unusual to hear people say that they cannot understand why trees die under transplanting, considering that they give the Flanting the best of care. ‘What is considered the best of care is often very bad care. It is amazing to see the caretul planter without experi- ence, occasionally on his knees pressing the earth in around the roots with his fingers, for fear of crushing the ‘fibres. It is impossible to get the earth properly packed around roots in this way. In ‘nurseries, where it is presumable planting is thoroughly understood, a man stands with a rammer while one is putting in the earth, and haminers the earth in as tightly as though Le was hammering ina “post. This packs the earth in more tightly. than can be done by either feet or hands. Bomc are afraid of crushing the roots with this hammering process; but with the pressure all around, the force is directed towards the roots, and not away from them, Itis not neces. sary, however, to go into reasons, as the universal experience of the nursery is in favor of hammering in the earth as rep- resented. This ia the essence of good planting, and any other planting is de- cidedly bad. ‘Trees properly planted need no staking. The fact that a tree needs staking is a proof that it was not properly planted.—Meehan’s Monthly, in, CARE OF DECORATIVE PLANTS. Many of our finest decorative plants are yearly stunted in growth from lack of caro in one respect, namely, that of cleaning the foliage. Plants w. ich rarely bear flowers make up for the lack of them by beauty of foliage, and it cer- tainly is reasonable to suppose that this foliage to increase in beauty must have attention and care.

Another point is the use of water, es- pecially on bright days when the atmos- phere of the room is quite dry and close; at such periods those large plants will consume considerable water if given them. On dark days or in damp rainy weather water should be given sparingly; this rule holds good with all plants grown in the house. These moist days are often “beneficial to plants, giving them the moisture in the atmosphere they need and which they absorb through the foliage; indeed this moisture will be all that plants require during damp weather if they have previously had proper treatment. An occasional application of new soil at the surface of the pots, mixed with plant food of some kind will enable the decorative plants to make a better show- ing.—Housewife. TALE ON DISINFECTANTS. The sense of smell is given to ani. mals for the purpose of enabling them to avoid injurious ' substances in their food and for other means of self-preser- vation. The human race, having reas son to guide them, do not have such an acute sense: of odors as the common animals, and, not using their reason as they should, frequently subject them- selves to dangers by neglect of the proper precautions. - On the farm there should be fewer risks in regard to dan- ger from decomposing matters which are productive of various diseases than in the large towns and cities. But even on farms, by reason of neglect in this direction, diseases often occur ' that due attention and precautions. Wher- is danger, and means should be taken at once to disinfect the premises. "One of the most useful disinfectants is common copperas, which not only de- stroys the germs of disease, but fixes the valuable ammonia that escapes from the decaying matter. A disinfectant is any substance that destroys the unwholesome matters, a deodorizer simply destroys the odor, and the two are to. be thus | distinguished from each other in regard to their uses. Common plaster is a de- odorizer, and is useful in combining with the ammonia that escapes from de- caying substances. But the ammonia of the stables and manure yards is not so ana hydrogen, such as the marsh gas that is evolved from. decomposing ma- nure, and is the same gas that esca from marshes. This is productive of fevera of various kinds thatare far too prevalent in rural villages and on farms. There are other injurious gases, as the compounds of sulphur and carbon, which have such an intolerable odor in odor to the manure. But the worst of all the odors of this kind is the drairage that escapes from the yards and the hor- rible cesspool, that is so common, and which finds its way to the wells. The 1atal typhoid fever is a common result of this impurity, and as the present time is tha’ when these dangersare most to be | dreaded, attention should be giveg with. out delay. —New York Timess 1 POULTRY. &OTES.
