Before he ' iljeft town 'Billy had told "the police of '"his .suburb that thehouBe would be 'closed for a fortnight, and he asked Y 'them to keep -an eye on the premises.

' ' 1 I The house was very quiet, and soon Billy dropped off to sleep. He woke np suddenly and found everything Btill :V,ery Iquiet and very dark as well, yet.be (had the feeling within him that he had been awakened by a noise. - He listened ' iiuteritly, sitting still in the comfortable jchair, and presently! the chandelier . labove his head gave a. Blight rattle, as it was in the habit of i doing when soma :one was walking in the room overhead.' Billy did not believe' in ghosts, for he ;was a newspaper man and could hardly be said to believe in anything, Again Ithe chandelier jingled, yet there waa no Juoujo of a footstep overhead, and it Viawfied upon Billy's scarcely awakened if acuities that whoever was above -him iwas going around l in his stoc : feat, trying to be a silent as possible.

' Fired by this thought, and in spite of the distinct creeping of hid scalp which We exaggerate into terming the sensa tion of i the hair standing on end, Billy, grasped the poker jthat lay'on the fender, by his jchair and; cautiously crept ont into the hall, making his way, like a cat up the stair, fervently hoping that no step wonld creak. .. j At tbo landing above Billy peered fn ' 'to the bedroom from which the. light J4sued and was appalled to see, not orie inrgiar, bu.ttnrca misexcecdeatsuiy s j jmoflt ardent expectations. - He had been ; Wepared for a desperate encounter with lone, especially if he could have crfept in lou him and landed on his head with the - poker before the burglar was aware that Ithere was anybody else in the house, but a fight with three was too much of a good thing. ! 1 I " .

" j ; , i BiliJ got his machine out from its . shed, noiselessly unlocked the back gate, closed it agabVas silently as he had opened it and waited in the shadow of a tree across the way. In a very few moments the burglars came out, eath carrying a bag. They peered up and ' down the deserted street, and then lipped out, walking rapidly away to- .Jgether. Billy had no difficulty in ioi- IJowtBgrthem. I His only trouble was the ) M he ccraia by kecpiiig ; oil the (jodiS side of the road from them. He hoped he would meet a policeman, so that ho might give the alarm, and his wish was gratified. The officer stepped unexpeoW edly out from beside . a tree, and ha grasped Billy by the arm. -i v ' Why are yon cycling out at this time of night without your lamp lit?" -" "My lamp lit, yon foolT'-gasped Billy, taken by eurprise, and ' therefore not having time to choose his language with the care a man should 'ruse when addressing so important a personage as a policeman. "How the could I chase burglars with a lit lamp?" - "That's all very fine," said the offi cer. "I've heard that kind of a story before. A man doesn't get up and dress himself in a full bicycling, suit to chase -burglars at 2 in the morning." . V. " . "But I slept in my bicycling suit, yon ass!" protested Billy, feeling, as he ; said it, that it sounded rather thin and unbelievable in the keen lrorning air..- "I'll report the 'language yon are using to the magistrate, " 1 said the po- licoman calmly, knowing, the whole ma- "chinery of the law was with him. ; "My house has been burglarized," cried Billy. . "Tho three thieves passed yon with their swag, and I don't sup pose yon ever saw them. Precious lot of good , yon idiots are, not only letting the rascals slip, but arresting a man who is robbed and who is, trying to do the work yon are paid for doing. " "Come and tell all this to the officer on duty at the station. You're bicycling ' without a lamp at night, and that's all I have to deal with, and I'm going to deal with it." . vIk j - Billy broke, into language that waa both deplorable and indefensible, but the policeman merely noted it down and took the-unfortunate man to the station. Billy speedily convinced the night man . at the police station that a mistake had been made, and two of the force were . sent to investigate.9 They reported that the house had been - burglarized with neatness and dispatch, but the burgling birds had flown. ' , J j The magistrate told Billy next morn ing that if m he had been more moderate in his talk his miscarriage of 'justice might not have happened. He should not -use such language, tho magistrate said, and when Billy asked what else he could have used, seeing that he had no club with him, the magistrate re marked that he would fino him for con tempt of court if he tried his flippancy on the bench. .

So the item appeared as "Burglary at Lonelyville, , and another,) paragraph stated that Billy Sims, a well known journalist, had been fined for riding about the streets at 2 in the mornintr on a bicycle with an unlit lamp and that Billy was supposed to have been intoxi cated at the time, whereas "the truth was that th magistrate .'let,, Billy off vith the reprimand aforementioned. As the police have not yet succeeded in capturing the thieves; although they are always coming on a new and grati fying clew,' Billy thinks this is a hard world. Luke Sharp in Detroit Free .

It was bitterly cold, and be yond green wood, which, would not burn, no fuel was obtainable. It was amusing to see tho officers trying to cook some mutton for themselves, as one of the sheep was killed for dinner, but what with the green wood, its smoke, no cooking pots, etc. , and the impossi ' bility of obtaining any hot water, the meat dinner had to be given up.

'Next morning at 7, the faithful majority, having , been summoned: ac cording to form, convened as the conn-, cil, for the doubtful members had ei ther not been summoned at all or had received notice of a later hour. As soon as a quorum was present, Cornet, a well known butt for the wits, rose, and de nounced the terrible conspiracy which was ' menacing - them; Begnier then moved that, according to articles 103, 103 and 104 of the constitution, both branches of the legislature should meet next day at noon, and not before, in the palace of St Cloud ; that General Bona parte should be intrusted with the exe cution of their decree, and that to that end he be appointed commander of the Paris i garrison, of . their own special guard and of the National guard; that ha therefore appear and take the oath, and' that these resolutions, be duly com municated to tho directory, to the five hundred, . and also to the public by printed proclamation. The motion wa carried unanimously. During these proceedings all the gen erals present in Paris except Jourdan and Augerean, who had not been invit ed,, but including the stanch republican Lefebre, commander of the garrison, had gathered in and . before , Bonaparte' house. They had been requested to com in uniform in order to arrange for a re view. It was noticed that Bernadotte, though present, was hot in uniform:, H4 had so far yielded to the blandishment of his brother-in-law as to come, but de clared that he would obey only what was at that moment the chief authority ; in the state. - Lefebre was" in uniform, but having met on the way' bodies of troops moving without his orders, and not being initiated, he was naturallj startled.- But BonSparte knew his man. ! "Would you a supporter of the re public, leave it to perish in the handi of these .lawyers?" was his greeting. "See, here is the sword I carried at th Pyramids I give it to yon as a mark ol my e3tcem and confidence. " . 4 . ."Let us throw the lawyers into- th river," came the expected answer. . A few moments later arrived the au thoritative summons from the Ancients. Bonaparte stepped out on the. porch and 1 read their proceedings aloud.

Br Tclegrapii to the Moraiog Sur. . : Washington, January 1 The Sen ate Committee on Finance will hold its first meeting under tbereorganizitfon to-morrow. Although financial action may not betaken on either tbe bond or tariff bill recently passed by the House, some members of the committee swill urge speedy action,' and, if possible, an immediate report. The best judgment of the situation indicates that the bond bill will be destroyed in committee, and a substitute in the shaps of a free coin; age bill reported. Nothing short of this will satisfy tbe, silver men on the committee, acd as they have eight votes to j five against silver any measure they agree upon cm be easily adopted in committee. Mr. Wolcott. of Colorado, one of the new men added to the com mittee, has not been in Washington this Winter, owing to ii;-aeaUh, but his ab- secce makes little difference, the silver men still having a working mei irity of two in committee and a clean majority . in toe senate oi ten or twelve, It is probable that the Tariff bill lwill be reported to 'the Senate without amendment. Republicacs ; have been making every effort to get together on this measure and the silver Republicans who will vote for tree coinage as a sut stitute for the bond proposition, it is believed. ; can - be persuaded to refrain - from putting such an amend meat na the Tariff- bin. Repub lican leaders nope to see the bill Ease tbe Senate as - It came from tbe ouse. It is believed the President wiU veto it and it is thought by Republicans to be good politics to put tbe President where ne wiu be compelled to veto a measure that is intended to increase the receipts and produce adequate revenues.' uwnemer Kepuoncans can oe iinea-up on this propoiltioa and persuaded to not insist upon amendments is a Ques tion no one can yet answer. It is not unlikely tbat after the bill is reported a Republican caucus will be held to d i s- cuss the subject and agree upon a policy. .1 j Wben Baby was sick, we gave her Caatorta.
