to the census enumerators in April
1891. was 75,765, an increase of
25,824 since .1881, or nearly 52 por

1881 to 4,375 in 1891 -an increase
of 1'37 per cent This, though a
great gaiu absolutely, is, relatively
to the population, less that the gain

the fact that the facin possesses
greater attractions in the prairie

were members of the fnmily present.,

movement was perceived by a g""ace•

appropriated the cologne for his
own use, and filled the bottle 'with
hartshorn, and then hung about to
observe the result.
In a little while the young man
slipped out to the secret depository,
and, socuriug the splendid gift,
slipped back again into the pallor,
where with a few appropriate words
he pressed it upon the blushing

It was 3 o'clock in the morning when
Mrs, Higiabotham shook her husband.
"Ugh," he responded, unconsciously.

"U -Ugh," he observed.
She gave him another shake.

with a rising inflection indicitiug that he
was gradually absorbing the idea that
something was wrong.
She gave hitt a tremendous shekel
"Ugh," he aluri,at shouted, sitting
straight up, "what in thunder's the row,
Maria?"
She clopped her hand over his mouth.
"Sh-sh-," she whispered, "there's
burglars downstairs."
"Aw," he growled, "we- ought to bit
thankful they are not upstairs. Go to
sleep." and he fell back on the pillow.
"Hiram, I tell you," she insisted with an-
other- shake, "there's burglars downstairs.
I heard them. You go down and see what
they want."
"Maria," he protested, "I'll do nothing
of the sort. if they don't see what they
want they can ask for it. That's business.'
"But you shall go dowy, Hiram, and
see," sho urged and pleaded at the same
time.
"1 won't, I tell you, Maria. Because
your father owns a dry goods store is no
sign that I believe it is no trouble to show
goods, and I repeat, madam, if those burg-
lars want anything they've got to wait on
themselves. It's after business hours any
way. You must thick we run an all-night
place. Go to sleep, I tell you."
Mrs. Higinbotham gave a sudden clutch
at his arm.
"There," she nearly' screamed, "I hear
them conning up stairs, now.-'
"Well, dear," he said soothingly,'"you'd
better jutnp up and put on adress. It will
never do in the world for you to receive

"We'll be murdered in our beds," she
wailed.
"Do you really think you tt)i11 ?' he in-
quired with some interest.
"I'm sure of it, Hiram," site sobbed.
"Suppose you get out and lie on the
floor, Maria, and then you wou,'t be," he
suggested heartlessly. "I'm willing to
take mine right here in bed, where it s

"What's the rnatter, Maria?" Mr. H.
asked as if he had just that moment dis-
covered her grief.
"You're a mean aau, horrid ]tan, I•Iiram

voice, and she began to get out of bed.
"Where are you going, Maria?" he in-
quired, uneasily.
"Downstairs," she answered heroically.

downstairs she went, and the black cat in
