A Fearful Mistake. SERVANT SHOT FOR A BURGLAR. Killed by His Employer While Chasing a Thief. Mistaken for a burglar. Franz Sfidel. a plucky, faithful emDloyoe, was shot and killed at two o'clock in the morning bj hk employer, Hans Theede, a bottler, of New York. Seidel was in hot pursuit of two burglars, one of whom crouched behind a big clothes-line support, down which he was preparing to slide. Theede, Se-idtTs employer, thought 1IG was the second burglar, vho had been clambering down the pole when he fired the first -hot. Bang 1 \vent his riiie, aud ."Seidel di-opp«d from the pole like a log. Death was mercifully quick. He never heard the agonczed entrcatieis of his horrified employer when the latter learned the truth. The burglars escaped. Hans Theede has been a buttltr of beec for six years. Wife Heard Burglars on the Roof. The rear of Theede'g house is opposite five- .storey tenement. The fence of that yard extends- to the middle of the first storey window* of Theede house. "iVie dU'tance .between the Theede house a.nd the fence is two feet. A high olot-hes-line pole rises a little to one side of the kitchen windows. Theede, his wife, and two children, sleep directly above the kitchen. Met a, their three-year old child, b.?d kept the mother awake most of the night. Shortly before two o'clock Mrs. Theere heard ome one trying the scuttle. She awoke her husband. The noise ceased, and Theede told his wife she must be mistaken. A few minutes later Mrs. Theede heard some one trying the kitohen window. On raising the blind she eaw a man standing on the fenoe, his hand on the window. This time her husband jumped up. He seized a rifle which he has often paraded as a member of the Peutsoh-Amerakaner Schuetzenbund. It was loaded with a 22-calibre cartridge. He fired out of his bedroom window at the burglar trying to force the kitchen window First Bullet Went Wild. The opening of the window had alarmed him, and with a bound he was in the yard. The bullet went wiild. The burglar crouched behind the pole, fearful of further ehote. With the report of the rifle Theede heard the second burglar clambering down the pole, which rises above the roof. He rushed to his bureau drawer for a second cartridge. Seidel, who is called Franz by the family, had been aroused in the meantime by Mrs. Theede. Franz slipped into his tro. &ers, coat and shoes and awoke Joseph Kraft, a fellow-employe who occup.ed the room next to the kitchen. Franz, the burglar is trying to get in the kitchen window," Mrs. Theede whispered. Franz, without the slightest hesitation, ran into the kitchen and the next minute stood with one foot on the sill and the other on h fence. He saw the burglar I orouching behind the pole. He was preparing to swing down upon the burglar. Shot Down His Protector. Just then Theede raised the window of the room next his sleeping room, occupied by the servant girl. It was r-nowing and was quite dark. He saw Franz in the act of descending I the pole. lie doesn't know whether he believed Franz was the second burglar whom he' had seen climbing the pole or whether he raised his rifle at the figure crouching behind the pole. He fired. Witlwut a word Franz dropped be- tween the fence and the house he tried to protect. The suspicion flashed over Theede'a mind that he had made a horrible mistake. He heard the burglar he 'had seen climbing down the ipole jump heavily on the roof. lie ran downstairs, his hands in his hair, exclaim- iTtpr bi+tecV tbnt ho **4 sVt -Tmor--JKntlt, his other employe, after being roused troia sleep by Franz, had opened the window of his room and looked out. When he heard the fatal shot he closed it quickly. He heard his em- plover's cries, and together they ran to the cellar door, In front of which Franz lay in a heap, face downward. In the dim light they recognrised poor Franz. Blood was pouring from his mouth and ears. That was a gleam of hope for Theede, who said:—"Thank God. I missed. He just fell and hurt kit face." Died in His Arms. Franz was unconscious aucl/ breathed his last in his employer's arms. Kraft rushed to the Harlem Hospital for an ambu- lance. Dr. Opdyke responded. Theede's aim had been only too true. The bullet, which was a long twenty-two, had entered the baok, per. forated the left lung, and lodged close against the heart Dr. Opdyke said Ftanz never knew that he had been shot. Theede ¡mid to Polieean McKenna 4'1 killed Franz; my God, what a mistake 1* Franz's body was taken to the station in a patrol wagon. Theede begged to be excused from riding in the wagon with Franz's body, and walked to the station, where he was looked up. His rifle was also 'taken tihere. M1'8. Theede insisted on going to the court in the morning when Theede was arraigaed. Magistrate Mott committed him for tbe action of the Coroner.

1 A LEGAL MURDER BEING THE STORY OF A SOUL'S EVOLTJTIOK. "By NOEL NOLAN, Author of "Tales of Cardiff," "A Child of Nature," &c., &0. CHAPTER VI.—MR. SEPTIMUS TWADDLE. "Man! Thou pendulum betwixt a smile and a tear. Men are the sport/ of circumstances, when The circumstances seem the sport of men." -Byron. "Fools and their money are soon parted. 1 -Old Proverb. Meredith did not retire that morning. When he had smoked his cigar out he sat on, shaping his plans for the future—the immedi- ate future. By breakfast time he had fully decided what to do, which was to leave Melbourne at once and go to Sydney. After breakfast he paid his bill, sent his luggage down to the niearaship Leurar-one of the boats regularly plying between the two cities; then secured Ms ticket, and walked quietly on board and down to his berth wlhere he remained until the vessel was away from the quay. Whan the engines had been at work some little time he returned to tlhe upper deck, and leaned ou the rail watching the -seemingly re- tiring city. "Good-bye, Melbourne, h« said: to himself to he gazed at the receding liouces-there was no bitterns to him just now-"Good-bye I have been ooanpa^tively happy some of the time I've spent in you; and migM have been happi«r, but for- Nav I don't W why they have done this thing; so I won't judge. I wander if they wtU tuiss me, h)o thoughts returning to the efty astern "if they will regrQtme at ail ? Pooh; why should thev? Are there Dot <Hw«ns ready and easfer to fill my vacant place? Another ihu'.j. their r- un<is of gaiety alone will expel fntti theor ounde. And if tti-iy 00 think of me, it will but be to remark at my I audden departure; and wonder at the cause ? of it, unless the story leaks out of my being a I beggar. And yet, what else could I do but leave the neld?—and do so at once. I could not bear to oome down to Melbourne to that which I must. inevitably do elsewhere. I have reigned there, in a way; have been some- one and better to leave while still so than dwindle away and become a mere bye-word in tine mouths those with whom I have been an equal. And, pe.haps, it ie best tP go. For I doubt if her love could have proved strong enough to gloss over the past; particularly thoss two things, if ever they had come to her ears. She has so high a standard—so great an ideal"—he was not aware that be had seemedl to her to quite fulfil her ideal—"of man, that he who wine her to keep her love must be ar near perfect as possible." • • "Still," he resumed, "they will miss me. They cannot help it. My meteor-like manner of last night will make them remember the man whe oarna—from' the sky, almost, for all they know; and went, none of them know where; and it is best that it should be so, ju,-t as much as it was best to keep oalm when the banker gave me his news. For if I had stormed and stamped and gworn I should' not have lessened by the hundredth pari of a degree, the misery I felt at the moment. And God and myself know how the sting went home at the time. Just then f could have curbed; the whole world; but it would have done no good. And I know it. I knew it then, I The only good I could do was to keep calm, and hid-e my pain from the eyo of idle curiosity. And I did it. Ay, and went through the hideous farce of laat night and cams out a master 10£ myself for onoe. I had made wliat the world calls a good iwipresion, ajxd Jo-sJ- night I clenched it. And not one of them well ever think, unless the truth gets out, of the pain I hid behind tho mask of a smiling face. Oh. God, how oft a raging hell is hidden by the white of »n angel's wings.. • I wonder if he has stopped the allowance oo! soon because of that—that two hundred. Per- haps 8'0. I ought to ha.ve written to him long I "Aw, really'- May I ask why? It is a splendid city, you know; and weally mosi chawming people. ago, and told him of it, as I had meant to do. a.nd should have done but for the efhame. If I had he might have overlooked it—although it is unlikely—he is not the one to forgive. Ah. well, it &rA no use crying over spilt ntilk. Better the whole thing a-lone." -?-? He turned 'i away from the rail and began to pace the d'eck The weather was very fine. He wondered if there were any among the passengers whom he knew. He hoped not; for if so 'he would have to invent some palpable reason about his going to Sidney, and he had no desire to. no de.si1'6 io. He had not taken many turns when he saw, I issuing from the companion-way, a young dandy whom he remembered having seen at one or two less fashionable gatherings in Mel- bourne within the past f<»w weeks. The youth, [for he WAS not more, recognised him, drew near at once, and said, "Aw, I think I have had the pweasaw of meeting yeu befoaw. My name is, aw, as you will doubtless wemembaw, Mr. Septimus Twaddle," and he tendered his card, with a. smile as vapid as his language. Meredith, at the first moment, felt inclined to put 'him off. To do him justice, he tho- roughly detested anything approaching foppish- ness. But, after a moment's reflection, he put aside the impulse, and extended his hand, saying. I think the pleasure 'has been mutual." Whereupon the dandy turned a.nd walked the deck by his side, and lisped out in his effected. way a seemingly endless and perfectly uninteresting record of his doings at the various routs to which he had bsen while in Mel- bourne. "Aw, Ah," he remarked, having exhausted his subjeot, I suppose you are gwoing to, aw, Sidney for a little change; jvust 808, aw, I came up hsaw?" Yes, I am going there by way of a little recreation. But I don't, expect to be there long," he answered, feeling somewhat uncertain what to say. "Aw, weaiiv i May I a.wsk why? It is a spwendid city, you know: and weally most chawming people." As to the city. I have often hea-rd so. And from what I have seem of two or three of its residents I think I can endorse your opinion of them." residents I think I can endorse your opinion of them." Mr. Twaddle, taking Meredith's words as an implied compliment to tbe people of Sidney in general and 4iiinself in particular, felt at once drawn to bis fellow-passenger; and was forth- with prepared to render him almost any ser- vice, providing it did not interfere with his dress. To begin with, he offered to introduce Meredith to his club and circle. For which Ralph thanked; him and escaped below on an excuse to have a w £ fih, as it was close on lunch time- There he stopped until the bell rang, and after the meal lIe returned tc hi:: oabin. Is-id down, and fell into a restless sleep About five o'clcek he awoke, bathed his face, and. went on deck. Mr. Twaddle was there and again joined him. After a tirc- 4 fl>OID<B complaint about th« dearth of society people on board. be asked1 Meredith whart he was going to do with himself after dinner. Oht walk about," he replied. until I am sleepy, and then go below." "Weally? But theaw is no life in that. Will you-aw, come to my cabin and, aw, have a game of eucheaw? I auppwose you play?" Yet", a. little—some times." Aw, will you come, then?" "Excuse me, please, Mr. Twaddle. I don't feel very bright just now. I think I shall go below again. But I'll give you an answer after dmner." And, after receiving the other's condolences, he disappeared out of reach of the bore and temptation. "Why am I driven to this?" he muttered with a return of the old bitterness, as he leaned on the edge of his bunk. Here is this fool of nawre's makimr, or his own, offering me the greatest and the worst bait be can. And a thousand to one ha is not fit to play for old shoe-srings. What ajn I to do? God knows I am terribly in need of -money. Too much so, m fact, for the safety of my good resolutions. Hang it! I'll keep out of his I way if I can," and he took up a paper he had bought on his way to ths steamer that morning, and sat down and read until the dinner bell rang. But he was not to escape so easily. He had no sooner left the table than the bore was after 'him, and succeeded in g-etting him--without much real opposition, it is true—off to his berth for the proposed game of euchre. Scarcely were they seated when some one knocked at the door, and a round, closely- cropped head, with a dull, insipid face, in which twinkled two smalt eyee far apart and of a weak blue colour, appeared in the opening. Mr. Twaddle looked up, and at onoe -bade the intruder fetch a bottle of whisky and a lemon. "That ia, aw, a stwangaw to you, I sup- pwo.-e?'' t.e remarked when the owner of the I fcead had gone. Yes. I don't recollect seeing the fiace before." I "Aw, capitawi fellaw, you know; capitawl fellaw. But wathaw horsey. Aw, beastly things, t1a;-r:t you think? Vewy beMfclj. Kick, you know; and, aw, throw you ofi and hurt you; dawn't you think saw?" "Well. yes. They are rather beastly. My fwiend is going to join us in the gwame, if you dawnt mind" Oh, no. I have no objections to offer. Aw, thawnk you. HV- is, a)w—" Ker3 the person returned, and at the dandy it'- junction he proceeded to make up three glasses of whisky and water. Meanwhile Meredith eyed the stranger over and found h<s vnaa "rather horsey." So much did his entire "get-up" smack of the stable that any des- cription of him would be an utter waste of time. But mere was one difference in him— he was as dull as the horsey man is usually sharp. When he had completed his task his com- panion introduced him to Meredith as Mr. Racer then shuffled the cards again-a thing he bad already done several times-and laid them on the improvised table, two large port- manteaus placed one on top of the other, and he said, Aw, ah, cut faw deal, gentlemen." Which was done, and Mr. Racer won the cut. Seven points were constituted a game, and play commenced. For upwards of three hours matters went on quietly. Then Mr. Twaddle proposed to shorten the game to five points. The others agreed. And when Meredith retired to his cabin at two o'clock next morning he found himself the winner of L15 odd. Not a bad night's work, he thought, considering he had played strictly fair and had the thing thrust on him. But after he had counted the money and put it back into his pocket, another burst of the old bitter upbraiding against his fate took p]ace. Then he reflected that if he had not accepted the offer some one else would doubtless have done so, and some one not needing it as he did. The pastime having begun, it. of course went on. And when the Leura. arrived at Sidney Meredith found himself 247 richer thajn when he left Melbourne. A paltry sum to what some men have won aDd lost during the passage between the two cities; but -co insignificant iflnount to him in his oresent condition. On leaving the vessel, at the recommenda- tion of the young fop, he took ap his quarters at the Royal in George-street. And on th<= following evening his newly-acquired friend called on him and fulfilled his offer by introducing Meredith at his club, and after- wards into his circle of private acquaintances. Thus lie began life in Sidney; neither fighting against it. heeding much where it would lead to, nor eager to follow it up. CHAPTER VII.—AN" ISHMAELITE. Fallen, fallen, fallen, fallen, Fallen from his high estate."—Dryden So lopp'd and prun'd trees do oourish So doth the fire the drossy gold retine." —Spencer. For some time Meredith lived a similar life to what he had done in Melbourne, but in ">> much lower stratum of society He aocn disooveredl that Mr. Twaddlefs airo^s wa<» neither useful nor congenial to him. They were all of the quiet, plodding kind, with the exception of the young dandy, who bled his widowed mother much too freely for the means of carrying on his foppish gaiety. Nor was the Constitutional, the latter's club, ef much use to him. True. play Wel.'> occasion- alJy indùlged in there; but not often. And when it was, the stakes were far too paltry for a maa who wanted to make a living bv gaming. So the months slipped by. and Meredith's j350 were mostly gone. Then, after a long debate with himself, he resolved to trv to get employment. For some weeks he watched the adver- tisement columns of the newspapers; and applied, ia letter or in person, whenever there was a vacancy he thought he could fill. But his time was all thrown .away. Ne matter where he weni he was met by the same questions—where had he been last em. ployed; what references, and what experi- ence had he? To such questions he had but the same answer to give—nowhere; none. Lmployers wanted as much as ever they could get for their money, and not a man WM had come straight from gaol for all they knew. They were not philanthropists. What he tried to obtain was clerical wort of same kind. He felt he could do that. And he went plodding on from office to office, day in day out, hoping to meet some one more charitably inclined who would give him work or his earnest assurance to strive to give satisfaction. But all to no purpose. Refer- ences and experience were the request every- where. He could give none, and he asked no further help-he sought no one's interest. At last he lost heart. Then the old passioa and wormwood came back. Aga-in he cursed himself, his fate, and nearly everything else; then paused and reviewed the past, and blamed himself for every trouble he had undergone. He had now almost dropped out of touch with Mr. Twaddle and his club and circle. In. fact he never saw the dandy unless he met him by mere chanoe; and when he did he was not slow to see the desire of the other to get away On such points as this Meredith was sensitive. And he troubled Mr. Twaddle no further with his company He could see oow that on first coming to Sidney he had done wrong in trying to live at a gentleman on a capital of £ 50 and an income gained at plav. It was this play—has seizing every opportunity for a game—that bad caused Mr. Twaddle and his friends to quietly give him the cold shoulder. Bui. seeing his past 'mistakes did not help him now. He had but a few pounds left, and Well, he must live, he said; or give up the game, and lie did not feel uiclintMi to do that. But h* must retrench, and that at once. This he did by moving into privaie lodgings at Wooiloomooloo. a suburb. (To be continued.^
