The little cottagd over the way, its windows all dark, made a deep shadow on the snow in the moonligat, Suddeuly there flached from Mrs, Germaine s chamber a point of light. It was not like a gas jet, Not like a lamp light, rot any reflectiou of ight, what could it be? She watched ft, at fist curiously, moving about here and there, at last it stopped before the safe in the corner. She knew the place for Bridget rad told hi She bad been in the room once on some errand to Bridget, who was tidying the cham- ber in her mistress absence. “There was the family silver.” Bridget had sid, ‘and heaps of choice things besides.” And this light bid rested there. Frowzy never knew what it was to be afratd, but sie shivered as she stood there staring, her face pressed against the window pane. ‘Tren came to her a vacue i¢ea that It was a gooat.

Her pe fell upon the shining eyes of tho telephone. Quick asa flash her mind grasped the solution as she seized the handie and pressed the little spring under the case. > “TH ring and lll ring and I'll ring,” she erted, turning the handle round and round. The bell called loudly, almost flercely. Tae operator knew (hat, and his answer came quick, “Hallo, hallo!” ‘ There's a buggler in Mr. Germatne’s houss, No, 20 Howard street,” she shouted, throwing out each word with spasmodic distinctness Something was replied to her, but in her ex- citement she could not understand one word She repeated the message, and added, “family allout.” All this had really occupied but a few min- utes, but to Frowzy it seemed hours and hours, as she again took up her station at the window. ‘Tue light had disappeared entirely; no sigut or trace of ttanywhere. Jaa she been mistaken. What if they should come and find that 1t wes all a silly scare—would she not be ashamed? She stopped suddenly! ‘There was a little flame rising from Mrs. Germaine’s bed. Sbe knew now that she had made no mistake. The man was setting fire to the house. Would help nener come? Perbaps they had not understood her, and so the house wou'd be leit to bura—her “iittle leddy’s” home, too, “It sha‘l not—it sha!l not”—she cried, strik- ing out against the thick, large panes of glass. There.was a loud crasi:, aud ber hand recoiled, covered with blood. Frowzy did not mind the Smart then—she didn’t feel it. She had broken through the thick pane of glass, and In another moment had swung herself ow upon the hard bank of srow under the window. If poor Frowzy had been a heroine after the regular order she would have found a ladder lying conveniently In her path, and by its atd would have climbed into the burning chanber, aud with stony front and undaunted eye have confounded the marauder. But Frowzy had not the least idea of betng a heroine.

How a Sultan was Murdered. (London Brief.) Detatis of @ remarkable character reach u3 as tothe murder of Sultan Abdul Aziz. The Story 18 sald to have been first set afloat by one of the women in Mahmoud Damad’s harem, smarting from some wrong or neglect. Fabri Bey, second chamberlain to the murdered sul- lab, uid possessing his entire contidence, 13 described as the viilainon tbe occasion. ‘He employed the murderers, set a guard at the door of the room occupied by the sultan’s mother, with instructions to kill her, too, if sha endeavored to enter her son’s room. Thea Fabri, with Ibrahim, a wrestler, and two eunue, wentto the sultan, Fahri Bey threw him of Sofa atisat on his head, while Torahim was ordered to cut open the veins of the arm with a dagger. The unfortunate monarch struzzied, and atone time threw off Fabri; but he was ain Knocked dowa, and the business com- pleted. A pair of scissors, steeped in blood, were placed in the dying sultan’s left handand Some Ume after Fahri Bey pretended to seek his master for instructions, and feigned horror and gree at finding him dead so weil,that the others believed him. Itis avery dramatic story. A commission has been Vliet to try the ac- cused persons, among whom ts now Suleiman Pasha,commander in chief during the late war. It wassaid to have been part of the plot to kill off all the tmperial princes, but ti frustrated. A letter signed G. D.

Horseback riding is now the order of the day. ‘The park ts filled morning and afternoon with equestriennes of various degrees of proficiency, some riding very well, some very much in3 re- verse, but the majority far better than was the case even five yeais since. The habits are slmost exactly as they were last spring, short and scant. The hats are either Derbys or Eng- Ush riding hats, beavers of medium height. ‘The tallor-cut bodice is skin-fitting, with short basque, some, indeed, not more than three inches below the waist line.

The Majouty prefer less of a uniform, and have sulis of @ heavy twilled itnen, in black or nite, or red and black stripes of different widths, which comes expressly for archery and tennis Costumes, and is mada up with twilled camei’s hair or flannels of the color of the stripe. Red and whit? are considered the colors par excelience for tennis suits this spring. The stripe generally forms the skirt, with the plain material for the drapery and bodice, Qt this order 13 sometimes reversed, as in a tennis suit recently made at one of our best establishments, and which has A WHITE FLANNEL SKIRT and a short overdress and basque of broad red aud white striped linen. Tne skirts are kilt- Ppiaited oftener than otherwise; not a new style, but one which holds its owa simply because, for purposes of tits sort, it_has never bean !m- proved upon. For the podice the most desirable shape is the shooling jacket, with its two flat, broad, box-plalis, back and front. and a bslt With leather fastentags. Rgund blouse watats, however, with a belt, are also made a3 well a3 Piatn, close. fitting basques, and even polonaises cut away very mica la frout, exposing the uo- derskirt, and draped up short, and fall in the back. A gray tennis sult is made in this way: The skirt of shaded gray and biack striped linen, with a double box-plaited flounce around the edge, and tne polonaise of gray camel's hair serge, looped up on one side with cord and tas- 18, and on the other witha flat pouch sus- pended by two Diack leather straps. Broad collar and cuffs at the striped nen. UNTRAMMELED FREEDOM OF MOTION 1s so neces: in tennis playing, however, that a loose or demi-adjuste walst is always to be preferred to any thioy setting closely to the figure. Blue fasnhel is used a great deal for lawn tennis costumes, striped biue and white linen being frequently employed with it, while often again the whole suit 1s of flannel. A cos- tume Of the first descrlotion has a skirt of the stripe, with a drapery of flannel over the hips, and looped in the back like a broad sash. The basque has a deep collar and deep culls of the striped fabric, and forms a narrow coat back, longer than the front and sides, and furnished with two jaunty pockets, Another all Diue flannel suit has pialiings around the sxirt and half way up the front that are lati flat by two rows of biack stitching aninch from the top and bottom of eaca plaiting, Tue overdress !s looped in three broad plaits high on the lel side, falling low on tne right. ‘The ba-que ts tiimmed all round and on the neck and sleeves with a row of fiat steel beads. A narrow flannel strap, with a double row of steet beads, passes over the right shoulder and under the left arm, abd suspended to it, @ la vivandiere, is the tn- evitable pouch, always affixed, 1n one way or another, to the tennis suit. Quite a number of ARCHERY SUITS are made after the general fashion of these striped linen or camel's hair serge or flannel tennis costumes, so that one such can do duty fer both purposes, But another and more dressy style for archery 13 to have the costume of nun’s veiling in pale colors, cream, rose, blue, maize, mixed with lace and surah, Broa tuimmed Leghorns or Tuscan bra‘ds, twisted into pokes or Gainsboroughs, and ormamented in the | With llewers,long feathers, gauze or crape, are worn with these thinner archery dresses.

Chtet Judge Fo'ger [in a case in the court of appeals] expounds the law of horse-racing fn ULis state In an elaborate opinion. The action Was by a jockey against Lis employer for wages. The deferce was that the contract of employ- ment was in violation of the statute, which declares that all wagers, bets or stakes, on any Tace shall be unlawful. The testimony showed that the agreement was to drive in races for purses, prizes or premlums, and the court holds that a purse, prize or premium 1s not ab et or Stake within the statutory prohibition. In the case of a bet, as deilned by the chief judge, “each party gets a chance of gain from others and takes a risk of loss of his own tO them.” But “a purse, prize or premium 1s ordinarily Some valuable thing offered by a person for the doing of something’ by others, into the sirife fer which he does not enter. He has not a | chance of gaining the thing offered, but must certainly lose it.” It was argued that the pa} ment of entrance foes by the owner of a hi | Was a stakiog of his money on the result. ‘So | it might have been,” say the court, “if the en- trance fees went immediately to make up the purse trotted for; but they do not, certataly not Specifically, make up the purse.” ‘The entrance fees and the gate money go into the treasury of the association, and the prizes come oat of that treasury; put this does not make the prizes Stakes inlaw. Nor, said the court, does the fect that the owner of a horse frauduleatly Agrees to ‘sell out” the race make it a case of bett! decision 13 contrary to that of Use Pennsylvania supreme court that a “trial of speed” of horses, for which a premium ts oiTered by an agricultural ty, 18 “in plain Zoglish a horse race” uooa a wager. But in a3 horse races are lawful, and Wagers upon them are recoverable. So held in an action agatust a stakeholder to recover a Stake Gn a horse race. ‘The defence was that tie race was unfatr, because the stakehoider, Who was to give the word “go,” gave the word in sc loud.a tone that Armstrong's hot frightened, and could not come to the or to lime, or to the pole, or whatever the horse phrase 18, and did not play at all. The other Lorse having stropger nerves pitiled over the course alone. “It may be that the effect attributed to the giving the word among racing men would have a tendency, as a generai rute, to ensure that the best horse should win. We can see how it would prevent vexations and worrying false starts by cunning jockeys, do- vised to ensure that the race shouid not_bs to the swift and cager, but to the sluggard and cold-blooded. The objection made to the judg- ment because of the mmorality of horse-racing Was properly overruled.
