[ ——— BETRAYED BY HIS FRIEND. Ohas, Roberts, a Sneak:-Thief, comes a Trifle Too Commuui- ative, LAt evening Chris. Roberts, a sneak- thief, was arrested by Officer Carry and landed in jail. The circumstances attendant upon the arrest, somewhat peculiar, have develop- od as follows: Tt meems that Roberts had made an entrancs into the house of Mrs. Coop, who keeps a restaurant on Twelfth street, between Douglas and Farnam. While the family were down stairs, Koberts sneaked cautiousiy to the second story and stole $45 belonging to Mre. Coop and 564 from the trunk of a young girl in the house, Sadina Sham- burg. After successfully performing the sneak-thief operation, Roberts went to the depot, where he met a frlend or an acqusintance whom he@hought to be a friend, by the name of Zimmerman. The latter for some reason ot other, posaibly because he thought to procare & reward, informea Officer Curry of the facts as admitted by Roberts. Curry, after a hot chase, suc- coeded in capturing the thief Roberts. He was taken to the Twelfth street rea- taurant, where Mrs, Coop was confronted by him, and for the first time apprised of her loss. She made an examinatlon of the trunk, and found that she and the girl had been robbed exactly in accord- anoe with the statements made by Roberts to Zimmerman. Roberts was then searched, and almost all the money, with the exception of about $20, was found on his person. He then made a brief confession of the crime. He has been locked up, awalting trial Roberts is a clever rascal, and but for his overweening confidence In a ‘‘friend” would yet be at large. THE GREAT EVENT. Be. Latest Progress Reported by Charity Ball Committees, The executive committee of the char- ity ball, assisted by its energetic sub- committee, comprised of the leading young soclety men of the town, have been holding meetings and made excel- lent progress with the great work in their hands. There is no doubt now but that the ball will be held at Boyd’s Opera house, Wednesday evening, the 14th of this month. A floor will be laid over the parquette chairs and the house decor- ated with flags, When every jot of gas is turned on, and the garrison band strikes up the opening march it will bo a beautifal sight. To-morrow’s papars will contain the general invitation from the executive committee to the people of Omaha to at- tend and explaining how tickets may be obtalned. No effort will be spared to make the ovening an enjoyable one. The canvassing for subacriotions will com- mence to-morrow. Kverybody should promptly respoxd on an occasion like this, and combine to make the charity ball the crowning event of the winter and such a popular success that it will hereafter be reaognized as an established feature of Omaha society. DELINQUENT TAX-PAYERS. Scenos in the County Treasurer's Office—Rolling Wealth, All day long yesterday the county treasurer's office was thronged with the de- linquent, eager to pay up their county taxen for the year of 1884, The time of grace had expired and a five per cont fine wag imposed upon sll tax-payers who peld up. This caused no little dlssatis- faction among the property owners, some of whom openly avowed thelr intention of entering legal protest against the pro- ceeding. It may be well, however, for those who are inclined to take this view of the matter to remembez that they have had months in which to meet their tax payments, and that there was no excuse for the delsy whatever. The Unlon Pacific paid its taxes yes- terday, amounting to $20,338 58 Last Wednesdsy was one of the busiest days ever seen iv ths treasurer's office, Far into the night the office was kept open taking in money. The re- ceipts amounted to over $25,000. e— Park County Heard From. The Bee takes pleaeure in reproducing the following from the Park County Bal- letin, published at Alma, Colorado, rela- tive to W.

A SYMPHONY IN MINOR. A Story By Pjalmar H, Bopesen, PARTI. [coryricuTED, 1884, BY THE AUTHOR. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED]. Miss Cathavine Van Tassell needed a music teacher, and Herr Max Greifen- stett needed pupils. Presumably Miss Van Tassell could have dispensed with Max Greifenstett more casily than Max Greifenstett could have dispensed with Miss VanTassell. But there was no hint of M dependence in the lordly man- nerin which he accepted Miss Van T: “You know I find teaching borous,” he added lordly: “I mean boresome, or vhat you call it? Zong welig! 1 like it not!” “Why then do you do it?"” a Catharine languidly. “Vhy Idoit! Ach vhy; Max flung back his great dark head and stared defiantly at the caller. ““Vhy do T eat?” Vhy do I sleep?” he continued dramatically. “Not because I like it, surely. But because T am subject to the tyrannical laws of matter.” “ThenI am the embodiment of this unpleasant fact to you,” she said, smiling wenrlly. “‘Well, Mr. Greifenstettt, I will be equally fravk with you. You are the embodiment of a no less dissgreeable fact ro me—the fact that I have to learn music. My father insists upon it. You are his choice, not mine. *‘He relected you, I believe, because you are—so per feotly harmlese,” sho was about to say, but she changed her mind and finished, “‘because of your pronounced elienism.” “My allenism!” he repeated with & puzzled frown. “Yes, you know all our music is foreign,” Cathrine responded evasively; “and the more foreign a man is the more muelcal he may bs supposed to ba.” “‘Ah, but that is not true, that is pos- itively false,” he exclaimed with superb German innocence. ‘‘Music is a divine are, and 1t has nothing to’ do with for- elgnness or not foreignness.” ‘‘What then has it to do with?” she inquired with a shadv of amusement at his enthusiastic manner. ¢‘Ah, madam,” he crled fervidly, ‘‘here you ask me one grent question, Bat I vill anewer it. It depends upon two tings—one eensitlve ear and one grand soul “Then you have a grand soul?’ she queried flippantly, raising her fan to hire her amusement. “You compel me to seem immodest,” he said, blushing, half with pride, half with embarrassment; “‘but if I did not believe that I had, 1 should never touch the piano agein.” ¢*Music teachers are not usually credi- ted with grandeur of soul,” sho ejaculat- od, breaking into a heartless laugh. *If thoy were suspected of any such danger ous possessions, I am afrald the demand for them would cease. They would be Inconvenient in families where there are girls with romantic proclivities.” “Madam,” he sald, with grave dignity, but with a shade of irritation: *I see you desire to offend me. 1 was foolish to lay bare my heart bsfore you; pardon I shall not trouble you again. Good-bye," With his hand thrust into the bosom of his waistcoat and with the most elaborate of toreign bows he backed toward the door. Oathearine started to her fset and stood for a moment gazing at him in as- tonishment. With his threadbare, ill- fitting garments and overgrown hair and beard, he did not look like a man who could afford to take offense, and still less like one to whom a blue-blooded Kaick. erbocker could afford to apoligizs. Nev- ertheloss Oatharine was i1l at ease. His gentle, mournful dignity had clearly put her in the wrong. She felt that she had taken & cowardly advantago of her posi- tlon to inflict an injary upon a creature whose respect for ner sex prevented him from resenting it. Greitenstett had al. ready reached the hall, aud would have put on his overcoat if he had had one. Asshe heard him turn the knob of the outer door, her conscience smote her. She hastened Into the vestibule, put her hand on his arm and said: “Mr, Gretfenstett, I was rude to you; I beg your pardon.” He "blushed to his ears and seomed overwhelmed with embarrassment. “] peg off you,” he murmured, run- ning his hand nervously through his hair sell's proposition. ed Miss to open at once the preliminary cxamination |and bowlng with excessive deference, of the acer e — Endorse the Spanish Treaty, Bostoy, January 2.—The New England Shipowners' assoclation this afterncon di¢- cussed the new Spanish treaty and adopted a resolutlon declariog: We most heart ly en dorse the same, with the mmend stion that the Sparish East Indis posseesions ba al- wed to participate in all the benefits of this , and that the privileges of the cavrying trade 'be confined to the vessels built and owaed in the United States and Spain. e — Ohlo Steel Works Reduce Wages. Prrosouse, January 2.—A reduction of wages, ranging'from ten to twenty-five per cent, has been made in the steel works at Coshoeton, Ohio. Half the operatives go out. H. W.

I know dat you vill not dsk me to stay. I bid you good morning.” Catharive stood like one dreaming. The overwhelming, uncompromising frankness of his declaration stunned her. It was so entirely beyond the pale of her experience that she forgot to be offended The superb ring of his volce, and his warm, persuasive eloquence fascinated her. It uo longer occurred to her that es a mere diversion, as a novel phenomenon, Max Greifenstett might be worth culti. vating. ~Sho felt, on the contrary, & sud- den hesrty respect for the man, and she resolved at all risks to secure his ser vices. He was just beatigg his second fim.z when again her voice recalled m. “‘Mr. Griefenstett,” she said, with a new humility, “I 4o wish you to stay. It may be that Iam an earth-clogged soul, as you intimate, but I have suddenly been seizad with a cariosity to peep into those roalms which you speak of, and I know you are too kind-hearted a man to refuse me your guidance. I promise you 1 will follow you implicitly.” It was now monsieur’s turn to stare, and he did it with a vengeance. I haf not comprehended you,” he be- gan tentatively. “Not at all.

Do you find the carpet interesting?” “Ah—; You vish me to come to. morrow Vell, T vill come,” “Thank you I am truly obliged ” She gave him her hand for the first time, with impulsive cordiality. He took it cautiously, as he would some frail, precious picce of bric-a brac. “And vill you not regret yourbargain?” he asked gravely. “‘Never,” she answered heartily, ‘“unless you regret yours, I vill come to morro: 0 evasively, “unt den I vill tell you,” 1. “‘Wkho was that seedy-looking Individu- al I met on the stairs?’ asked Mr, Archi- bald Romily as ho entered the parlor just as Catharine had finished her first lesson with Max Greifenstett. ‘It was my music teacher,” answered Catharlne, curtly. Mr, Romily was one of Catharine’s adorers, and as such a privileged person. He made a point of importing tho latest Eoglish novelties in speech and dress, and possessed no standard of criticism except that of fashion, He was quite handsome in an unobtruslve way, though his forehead was & little too narrow and his chin a little too long for absolute sym- motry, He considered himself as » great catoh, and revelled in tho fact that socie- ty seemed to coincide with him in this oplnion. He had & prospective income of some forty to fifty thousand a year, chiefly invested in real estate. For two yoars he had been assiduous in his stten- tions to Misa Van Tarrell, and she had, without reflecting serlously on the sub- ject, discreetly encouraged him. She had theught of it as a remote possibility that some day she might consent to be. come Mrvs, Romiiy, but she had had no desire to precipitate mat- ters, She made up her mind, however, that if she bscame Mra. Romilly, she would break him of some of his English atfec’ations, and make him desist Jrom all reference to his ‘‘tub- bings.” some of his college shecdo! too, she thought In bad taste, and only to be excused on the ground that a man with fifty thousand a year is apt to lose the faculty of self-criticiam. It was per- haps with a vlew to stimulating this use- ful but dlsagreeable exerclse that she accepted with such de- cided coolness his reference to her music teacher. Bat Romilly, whom long soclal potting had made a trifle obtuse, was far from diviniog such an intentlon; he thought, on the contrary, that Catharine had baen vexed by the tall, shaggy German, and that a a littlo amusement at his own expense would be the best antidote. *“I should think, Miss Catharine,” he continued complacently, ‘‘that if you were in in search of a z)ological currosity you might first bave puc it in the hands of » a trainer.

He seemed to have undergone some queer transformation, and his social im- portance, which had formerly imparted to him a certain dignity, had bécome a mat ter of no moment. He scemed to be- come dimly aware that the wind was blowing from an unpropitious quarter,and he made haste to bow himself out before he had actually lost his temper. He had never been so maltreated in all his life and hie trembled under a sense of outrage which slowly imbedded itself in his soul like some restless, burrowing inscet. He was of those men who grow angry by dogre! h white heat after hours of indignant reflection. All sorts of de- liciously cutting things that he might have said kept oceurring to him, and if it had not been so ly as she did to-day, and he Koo that; in case he should feel tempted to unload the quiver of his sarcasms, her beaut ly dlsarm him.
