Horry S Mills, In Chicago Advance,
JllE red curtains
were drawn,
the fire blazed
cheerily on the
hearth, and the
click of the
sleety rain
against the
window panes
only seemed to
heighten the enjoyment within, where
a shaded lamp gave out its serene
glow, and the pictured folds of an
-ancient Chinese screen shut ull pos
sible and irapossihle draughts away
irom the ruddy fireside.
Dr. Fengrovo sat on one side, with
the newspaper in his lap; Mrs. Fen
jfjrove sat on the other, tranquilly oc
cupicd in darning stockings, while a
chubby year-old lay asleep in its crib,
just where the firelight touched its curls
with fleeting glitnp&es of gold.
"Well," said the doctor, letting the
newspaper slip down to the floor, "this
1 comfortable. I don't often get an
evening at homo since Hello! What's
that? Someone knocking at the kitch
en door."
Mrs. Fengrove rose and answered

the summons. Presently, she came
bnck.
"It's Milo York, doctor," said she.
"Milo York, eh?" Dr. Fengrovo's
-countenance durkened us he spoke.
"Didn't I tell Milo York uever to dark
en niy door again?"
"But he's hungry, my dear," pleaded
the gentle-hearted woman, "and home

"I don't think lie has been drinking
'to-night, doctor," said Mrs. Fengrove.,
"He looks palo unci tired. Ho says he
has had nothing to out since noon, and
has no placo to sleep."
"That's no affair of mine!" retorted
Dr. Fongrove, who, though free
hearted and hospitably inclined in gow

oral, had hardened his hoart like n flint
agnlnat this particular instances of hu
man ily.
Mrs. Fongroro still hesitnted.
"What shall 1 toll him?" asked she.
"Toll him to go about his business,"
returned tho doctor, energetically stir
ring the firo until a red stream of
spnrks flew up tho chimney.
Mrs. FcMigrovo closed tho door, and
went back to tho kitchen porch.
"Milo," said she, "my husband will
havo nothing to say to you."
"I don't blame him much," dejectedly
responded Milo York, who was, in
deed, an unpromising-looking subject
enough, with his unltcmpt hair hang
ing over his brow, his garments in
rags and the end of his nose chilled
and purpled with the bitter night air.
"But it's a dreadful night," softly
added Mrs. Fengrove. "Wait out here
tho porch will shelter you from tho
rain. Tho coffee-pot is on tho stovo
yet, and I'll bring you a pinto of bread
and cpld moat and tv bowl of coffeo."
"Thankee, ma'um," said tho tramp,
gathering himself liko a heap of lags
into tho corner, to wait.
Ho drank his coffeo and ate his sup
per like a famished hound, and then
Mrs. Fengrove gavo him a tattorcd old
shawl, long siuco cast aside by her lms
bai.d. '"Take this," she said, "and Ho down
in the barn loft; there's plenty of good,
sweet hay there. But bo sure you'ro
off before tho doctor comes out in tho
morning."
"Thankee, ma'am," again uttered
tho man; and ho disappeared liko a
shadow into tho howling tempest.
"Where have you: been all this
time?" suspiciously queried the doctor,
as hisiwifo caino into tho softly illum
inated arch of tho Chinese screen
again. Mrs. Fengrove turned scarlet
under'his penetrating glance.
"I I ouly-gavo Milo a little some
thing to eat and drink," sho faltered.
"You know the Good Hook says: 'Turn
not away thy face from any poor
manl'"
"Yes," dryly coughed tho doctor,
"but I guess the Good Book don't make
any allowance for tramps. And I tell
you what, Dolly, it isn't safe to harbor
these misorablo wretches, with Aunt
Dorothy's silver tea-set in tho house,
"let alone your own spoons and forks,
especially as 1 am obliged to bo so
much from home."
Mrs. Fengrove sewed on in si
lence; sho was almost sorry sho had
told poor Milo York about that
snug corner in tho haj'loft, but sho
lacked courage to confess tho wholo
truth to her husband.
"It will be all right, I dare say," she
told herself. "But Milo York mustn't
come hanging around here any more."
In the dead of the tempestuous night,
there came a ring at tho doctor's night
bell. Old Mr. Castleton was very ill
dying, perhaps! The doctor was wont
ed at once!
With a yawn, our good Esculapius
rose out of his warm bed, dressed him
self and, saddling old Roan, set for his
midnight ride of six long miles. But
when he reached Castleton court, all
was still and dark. He rang two or
thrco times before a night-capped head
popped out of tho window that of tho
old squire himself.
"Dear, dear!" said Squiro Castleton.
"What's the matter? Nobody ill, 1
,hopc!"
"Why, you are, aren't you?" testily
demanded Dr. Fengrove.
"I? Not a bit of it!" said the squire,
in surprise.
"Didn't you send for me?"
"No, I didn't!" said tho squire. "And
if you've got anything moro to say,
you'd better come in out of this sleet
storm and bay it.'.'
"No," said Dr. Fengrove, setting his
teeth together, "I'll not come in, thank
you."
"It ain't a joke, is it?" questioned
Squire Castleton.
"I'm afraid its something nore seri
ous than a joke," said Dr. Fengrove.
"Good night."
And, turning old Roan's head, he set
spurs to him and trotted rapidly away.
Evidently, the night call was a con
certed plan a plan dovised to loavo his
home unprotected and a mind
turned, with keen distrust, to Milo
York and his talo of distress.
"God keep Dolly and the little one
safe until I get home ngain!" ho mut
tered between his closed lips. "Faster,
Roan, faster!" with a touch of tho
whip, which was scarcely needed, so
thoroughly did the good horse enter in
to the spirit of his rider. "You know
not how much may depend upon your
speed to-night!"
Meanwhile, Mrs. Fengrove, who had
just fallen into a restless slumber, after
locking the door behind her husband,
was unwontedly btartled once again
by a low, steadily continuous bound
like the rasping of some hard instru
ment. She sat up in bed and listened
a minute. Under her window the
sound of muffled and subdued voices
was audible, even above the rattlo
and roar of tho wintry storm.
"Burglars!" sho gasped to herself.
"And my husband is gone and Oh,
Milo York is at the bottom of thisl
How wrong it was of me to give him
bhcltcr in tho barnl"
'Springing to her feet, she threw on a
bluo flannel drcbslng gown, and hurried
to the cupboard, whero her few simple
treasures were bept, bosides tho square,
morocco enso containing Aunt Doro
thy's service of solid, old-fashioned
china, Sho turned tho key and was
just dropping it iuto her pocket, when
a rudo grasp fell on her arm.
"No you don'tl" muttered a gruff
voice. "Give that herd"
Mrs. Fengrovo's heart turned chill as
death as she found herself face to face
with a tall, ruffianly man, whoso face
was half hidden by a sort of visor, or
mask, of black leather, whllo another
man. was busily engaged in ransacking
the bureau drawers opposite.
"Give it here!" lie uttered savagely.
"Or," grasping tho throat of tho sleep
ing, baby who had awakened, with a
cry of infant terror, "I'll wring tho
brat's neck us if it wero a chicken's."
Mrs. Fongrove gave a shriek of af
fright, but, at tho samo second, a stun
ning blow from a spude handle foiled
tho man opposite, liko a log, to the
floor, and a strong hand, twisting itself,
viso-liko, in tho ncokcrchiof of thol
nearest vlllnin, compelled him to loose'
his hold of tho child.
"You will, will you?" thundered Milo
York. "Not if I know it, I guess!"
And suddenly closing with tho bur
glar, there ensued a desporato strugglo
for a mlnulo or two, during which Mrs,
Fongrovo'n blood scorned turning to ico
within her veins. It was brief, how
cvor. Milo flung his opponent heavily
to the ground, and, tearing one of tho
sheets from tho bed, ho twisted it
aro'ind and abovo him, knotting it hero
and thero until tho cowardly burglar
lay holploss and pinioned at his feet.
"I'd oughtor cut yer throat," said
Milo, "a-llghtiu' babies and women,
you moan skunk youl But I won't;
I'll lcavo you to tho lnw, and if that
don't trrip you tight enough I ain't no
good guesrer."
And with equal rapidity ho tied tho
hnnds and feet of tho other man, who
still lay insensible on tho floor.
"Is is ho dead?" gasped poor Mrs.
Fongrove, scarcely daring to look in
that direction.
"No ho ain't got his deserts," Milo
answered, wiping tho sweat from his
brow. "Ho'll live to bo hanged yot,
ma'um, never fear."
And at this moment tho sound of old
Roan's gallop on tho half-frozon road
struck liko wclcomo musio on Mrs.
Fengrovo's cars.
"My husband!" sho cried out, hys
terically. "My husband!"
Milo-York went down and unfastened
the door tho burglars had effected thoir
nefarious entrance through tho parlor
window and Dr. Fengrove found him
self face to faco with tho tramp.
"Yorkl" ho exclaimed.
"Yes, sir, 'York,'" nodded Milo.
"And if it hadn't been 'York' ydur
"JIII.O YORK 1IAS SAVED OUIt LIVES.
wife and the little 'an would have boon
in a bad fix."
"Oh, husband!" shrieked1 Mrs. Fen
tjrove, flinging herself into his arms,
"Milo York has saved our lives!"
"I ain't altogether sartln about that,"
added Milo, "but 1 guess I've saved
your money and valuables."
"But how came you here?" ques
tioned Dr. Fengrove.
"I was a-sleepin' out in tho barn,"
said Milo. "She told me I could. She
givo me a blanket and food and drink
when I was 'most ready to drop. God
bless herl And I heered thoir foot
steps just arter you had gone out, and
Isuspicioned as all wasn't right. So I
just got up and crept arter 'em, and
hero thoy is," with a nod toward the
two captives on the floor. "And if
you'll just lend a hand, doctor, we'll
h'ist 'em out in tha hall, where they
won't interfere with folks, and then
I'll go over to the village for tho con
stable and the handcuffs."
"now can 1 ever reward you for this,
Milo?" said Dr. Fengrove, in tones
stifled by grateful emotion.
"I don't want no reward," said Milo,
stoutly. "I'd 'a' done more nor that
for her," with a switch of his hand to
ward Mrs. Fengrove. "Ah, sir, you
don't know the sort o' feclin' a man has
for the only person in the world as
holds out a helpin' hand when he's
ready to drop with hunger and faint
ness! And now," more briskly, "I'll
go."
"Dolly," said the doctor, as tho hon
est fellow vanished, "what would have
become of us all this night if you had
not been more merciful and tender
hearted than I! God bo praised that
your sweot woman-nature gained tho
victory!"
That was the lost midnight alarm
that our doctor's family ever sustained.
Tho two burglars, discovered to be old
and experienc ed hands at the business,
wore safely lodged in state prison for
the longest practicable term; tho gang
was effectually broken up, and tho
neighborhood was at peace again.
' And Milo York is an objectless,
despised tramp no longer. Ho is Dr.
Fengrovo's "lured man" now, as much
a friend as a servant, and you may see
him, any sunny day, at work in tho
garden, with the baby playing around
him.
"All I wanted was a chance," Milo
York says. Amy Randolph, in N. Y.

WAR IN A SMOKING-CAR.
A Negro ami n Deputy Marshal Killed on
n Train In Texas.
Ahpmoue, I. T Nov. 4. A bloody
tragedy occurred early Thursday morn
ing on the Santa Fo passenger train be
tween here and Gainesville, Tex., in
which one deputy and a negro passen
ger on tho train wero killed. Tho
tragedy took place in the combination
smoking-car which is reserved
for negroes. In that compartment
there were traveling four negroes and
three United States deputy marshals
named Smith, Armstrong and Booker.
A quarrel arose and Smith, who was
riding in front of tho negroes, started
to go back to the other compartment.
The negro who had started tho
quarrel evidently thought tho
deputy was about to attack
him and drawing a revolver shot him
through the heart. Immediately a bat
tle between the whites and blacks en
sued, in which a large number of shots
were fired. When tho raeleo ended it
was found that tho negro who had at
tacked Smith had been killed. When
the train arrived hero all those con
cerned in the affair wero arrested.

Paths, Nov. 5. Tho British bark
Norcross, which left Philadelphia on
October 2 for Ruuen with a load of pe
troleum, has been burned in tho Seino
with a loss of three and probably ten
lives. Capt. Roop had his wife with
him and both wero saved. How tho
fire originated is not known. As soon
as tho petroleum caught an explosion
followed and a bright flame shot up
into the air whero tho denso stnoko
almost hid the baric from those on
shore. The crow rushed to the bide
and leaped into the river. Tho captain's
wife was saved chieflv by her husband's
exertions. Five others were also saved.
The remains of three of tho crew,
horribly burned, wero found in the
river and seven others are missing,
and it is thought they have gone to tho
bottom. Several of the survivors wero
injured by the burning pretroleum
which floated on tho water, making ap
proach to the wreck dangerous.
ROBBERY ON A TRAIN.
A Traveling IMllu Relieved of Sl5,000
Worth or Jewelry.
Omaha, Neb., Nov. 5. A daring rob
bery occurred on the train from Omaha
to Missouri Valley Friday evening by
a masked desperado. The victim of
the robbery is W. G. Pollock,
representing a New York jewelry
house. The robbery occurred just
beyond California Junction, I si.,
after the train had got under headway,
when tho desporado drew a revolver
and began firing on Pollock. 'Two bul
lets took effect in the arms, after which
the robber made a rush at him and beat
him in a torriblo manner about tho
head and face. At tho samo
time ho secured a sample caso
which Pollock says contained about
$15,000 worth of diamonds. Secur
ing these he jumped from tho train
and made for the woods. Pollock is
hero at tho Willard hotel and is in a
badly dilapidated condition from his
wounds, none of whioh are necessarily
fatal, no travels for tho Samuel Berg

BREATSTRIKE IN NEW ORLEANa
Mnny Trnclos Already Out TluslneM
Par-
nlyr.ml and Settlement Far On".
Nkw Ojilkans, Nov. 7. Tho big
ttriko began Saturday, nnd the chances
aro that ono of tho most oolobsal strug
gles which havo ovor taken placo in
this country botweon labor and onpltal
will ensue. Tho question at issue is
wholly ono of unionism, not wages or
hoursof labor. Tho amalgamntod union
Insists that merchants employ nono but
union teamsters and warehousemen.
On this issue a striko has been undor
way since October 22. Attempts havo
been made to arbitrato tho matter, but
tho union, not satisfied with the action
of tho merchants, first threatened a
goneral strike Thursday and on Satur
day ordered it.
The plan decided on by it is for ono
trade after anothor to striko until busi
ness is completely paralyzed here. Tho
first to go out ore tho clothing storo
clerks, who stopped at noon. Tho
Musicians' union followed, inter
fering with tho matinees and caus
ing tho opera houso to shut its
doors. The car drivers followed at
B o'clock, causing great inconvenience,
ns tho carriage drivers and cabmen
wero nlroady on n strike, nnd thero was
no way of getting up town. Tho paper
hangers, "gas workers nnd a number of
others noxt struck. Tho union in
cludes sixty-ono organizations and it is
said that all or nearly nil will bo out.
The Electric Light Workers' union
has decided to join tho strike, but tho
decision requires tho sanction of tho
International Electric Workers' union,
of which it is a member, before it be
comes effective. When this strike is
on tho city will bo in darkness, as the
gns men went out Sunday.
The Typographical union met Sun
day afternoon and decided to go out.
This will probably suspend tho publi
cation of every morning paper in tho
city except tho Gorman Gazetto.
Tho guards at the armories of all
local military commands have been
doubled and arrangements inado to
call the troops out at a moment's no
tice. There has so far been no demand
upon their services. Street-car travel
has been entirely suspended, and the
only means of travel is by hacks
or wagons, which aro run period
ically. The governor spent tho day in
the city and was called upon by a com
mittee of strikers. He warned them
against any breach of tho peace, but
declined to discuss tho striko until ho
had had an opportunity of hearing
both sides of the case.
The conference between tho mer
chants' and laborers' committees was
resumed at tho city hall Sunday morn
ing, Mayor Fitzpatrick presiding, uud
after an executive session which cov
ered twenty-four hours was finally dis
solved without result.
The discussion on both sides was
heated. After tho conference both
sides were very reticent as to what had
transpired, but the merchants said that
all negotiations for the settlement of
the strike were now at an end, unless
the men submitted fresh propositions.
They claimed that they could not yield
to the demands made upon them with
out lasting injury to their business.
MONUMENT TO ANARCHY.
To Ito Eroded Over tho Graves of Spies,
1'araoiiR, Fischer, Kneel and I.lngg Tht
Corner Stone Laid.
Cuicaoo, Nov. 7. With impressive
and simple ceremonies Sunday after
noon 5.000 people laid tho corner stone
for a monument in Waldheim cemetery
which is intended to perpetuate the
story of the Hnymarkot riot as told by
the friends of the four men hanged No
vember 11, 1887.
Fully as impressive as tho exercises
by the side of the graves of August
Spies, Albert Parsons, Georgo Engol,
Adolph Fischer and Louis Llngg was
the march to the trains through tha
city. Nearly 1,500 men, women and
children wero in line. Their pace was
slow and measured, in harmony with
the dirges played by tho band. There
were no red flags in the parade, but all
of the floral emblems bore red stream
ers and tbo color prevailed everywhere
in badges and boutonierres.
Arriving at tho cemetery tho "Mar
seillaise" was played as tho body
marched to the tombs of the dead an
archists. Tho graves wero decorated
with wreaths and other cmblems. The
ceremonies were lengthy. Addresses
wero delivered by M. Britzius, presi
dent of tho Cigarmakers' union,
Robert Stcincr, editor of the Arbeitcr
Zeitung, and others. In the corner
stone which was placed in its position
following tho nddresscs was deposited
an iron box containing a certified re
port of the trial of the unarchists, a
history of the Haymarkot riot, copies
of many labor publications and of tha
constitutions of labor organizations.
The monument, when completed, will
bo one of tho finest in Wa'.dhcim. It
will be unveiled in Juno.
