Wr BOUSEBREAKING,
Aristarohus is the most genil and
amitible of men, and only two things
have ever succeeded in ruffling the oven
'aim of his temper ; a thin out of *et.
steak or an effort of mine at house-
breeking will transform this meet
amiable of men into a veritable scold.
I am by no means a common burglar;
the house into which I break is always
my own. and necesity, not &ohm, im-
pels me to this mode of entrance. After
our trip to the Sandwich islandsmothem
was sent for by an invalid aunt, who'
lived out west, and Aristarchus accept-
ed an offerfrom a church near Boston
to supply its pulpit for a year. When
we took possession of our small city
hometwo keys were given ns, one for
the front door and one for the back �n -
trance; I gave the former to Aristide-
ehua and kept the latter myself.
The ftrat time the house was left
alone was one day when Aristarchas
had gone to a conference, and Leander
WWI at soltimI, Marinda Dorothea. and I
went oat for a little walk and to do
some marketing. I never thought of
the key, which happened to be in my
best dress pocket.When we came
home I naturally thought of that key
• and remembered where it was.
We walked disconsolately about the
honse and exanained the windows;
aevery one was fastened as securely as if
a besieging array had been expected te,
make an attack upon it- 1 I looked about
in the yard for weapons with which to
assault my own castle; I found a
broken chair and a. clothes pole. I took
the latter and deliberately broke the
back window of the library just over
the fasteiaing Cthen I stepped on the
ohairt reached and unfastened the win-
dow, and lifted Miranda Dorothea ip,
and she unfastened the door for me.
When Leander came from school I sent
hien for a. glaier, and while the glazier
Was setting the glass Atistarchns arriv-
ed. He looked at me, at d I felt so
small that I wondered I had not tried
to get in through the key -hole instead
of breaking the window. Then Aristar-
alias said he hoped that would be a
lesson to me. After that I decided to
keep the key in my wallet, as I seldofa
left the house without that.
One day Miranda Dorothea and -I
Were going to spend the day with friends
Chelsea. Leander was to join us
there after school, and return with as
after tea. Axistaxchus was too busy to
accompany us, and, when we started,
was out making calls.
After we left the house I put my
hand in my pocket to make sure that
my portmonnaie was there, and I soon
made sure that it was not there! I re-
membered that I had laid it on the
table while I put on my boneet. It was
impossible to go with neither oar tickets
nor money ; it was equally impossible
to re-enter the house without a key.
Miranda Dorothea remitted me that the
back window of the kitchen had been
left open. We went around there and
looked at it. It was very high from the
ground. There was not a thing in the
yard to step on. I found a section of
eaves -vont loose, and succeeded in
tearing it down, vaguely wondering,
meanwhile, What I should say if ray
landlord should appear on the scene. I
planted one end firmly on the ground,
andrested the other against the house
beneath the window. Then I invited
Miranda Dorothea to walk up this in-
clined plane with my assistance. She
refused. I insisted •' the ow was an
urgent one. Miranda Dorothea event -
'laity walked up the eaves spout with
iny help, and while I held her by the
ankles, tore down the screen and climb-
ed in the window., As she disappeared
from my view, I heard a splash, a fall,
and quick succession of soreams,
"Miranda Dorothea," I called, as
soon as there was sufficient lull in the
noise to admit of being heard, "1 can
not get in to help you until you open
the dor,"
I can't get up ! I'm most drowned!
I'ra dying! was the answer.
"Very well," said I, "you can He
there and finish the operation at your
leisure.
The unsympathetic tone of my voice,
even more than the exigencies of the
occasion, stimulated the child to get up
and open the door, and I entered.
I had that morning made the experid
ment of coloring an old cashraere dress
black, and had carefully left the dye
standing in a pail directly under that
kitchen window. Into that pail of
dye Miranda Dorothea had stepped,and
being frightened, lost her balance and
fell, tipping over the pail and complete-
ly saturating herself with its contents!
When we left the house she was dressed
in white; she was now robed in Egyp-
tian darkness.
"1 never saw such a sight!" I ex
claimed.
" I told you, I was dying," sobbed the
dripping objeot ; n you said this morning
the cloth would die if you put it into
that stuff 1"
I quieted the child by explaining that
by dyeing I meant coloiing, and. began
to repair the deraagestas well as I could.
After 1 had given the child a bath and
dressed her in clean clothes,we sat down
to rest. Of coarse our visit was post-
poned.
After a little while MirandaDorothea
said to me :
"1 suppose you are a very kind, good
mamma, aren't you ?"
"I hope so, my dear; why do you
askV'
I didn't know but you might be
feeling as if you were a very harsh,
severe raarama," answered she.
No,:I didn't think anything of the
kind," I rplied with decision.
Well,of course," continued Miranda
Dorothea, n I never said you wasany
such maixtnaa as that, it wouldn't be
proper for me to say such a thing."
"It certainly would not," I answered
sternly, and the conversation languish-
ed.
I never thought of Leander until tea- scol
time, when his father asked where the beli
boy was. I 'as obliged to confess that as
he was probably at Chelsea, wondering sent
where his mother was. He arrived ing.
home abaut bed timeetired and cross.
I pass over the scolding I got from Ar- bro
istarchus, and the badinage I endured etw
from Leander on that occasion. I do
not feel equl. to the task of reproducing the
it, mig
The next time I found myself looked take
out had. a visitor staying with me, an spin
old school friend, whose name was
Lillian Hall. cal
We went out shopping, taking with said
theinevitable Miranda Drothea, as "I
Ariatexchus did not like to have her my h
left in his care. On our way home

street and prepared to leave the -car,
Lillian said she should take a flying
leap from the oar to our door, _ as she
did not wish to spoil her olothes. She

after whichlliranda Dorothea Wait runt
fling with an energy which displayed
an almost unlimited vista of red hosiery.
WhenI reached the gate they stood
under the shelter of the piazza wafting
for me—Aristarchns had gone ° out. I
said I would let them in speedily, went
around to the side door, inserted the
key, and—didn't open the door 1 It
was bolted on the inside I'm sure I
wished I could bolt For a moment I
wished the rain Was a deluge that
would sweep me &try. It was at least
coming down in such torrents that my
dignity was completeiy washed away
before I reached the piazza, after a swift
run round the house— I explained the
situation to Lillian, and we could see
no way of getting in but to break one of
-the windows opening on the piazza,
But what could you do it with? With
the calmness of desperation, I quietly
unbuttoned and slipped off one of my
boots. With that boot I broke the win-
dow and raised it; then I lifted the use-
ful Miranda Dorotha into the parlor,and
we were all soon safely housed. But
daring the operation we had been a tar-
get for all the eyes in the -neighborhood.
trsually the front rooms of nearly all
the houses on the street were kept
closed, but on this occasion every blind
seemed to be open, every curtain raised,
and every window as if by ntagio was
filled with spectators.
Leander said if r wasn't such a cow-
-ard and so afraid a burglar would get
into the house, we might find it easier
to get into it ourselves.
Aristarchus said he should be asham-
ed to look the neighbors in the face,
he felt so scandilized at such proceed-
ings.
Then I said I would exchange keys
with him, and should have no more
trouble. So I took the front door key,
and gave him the other.
Not long afterwardstlirandaDorothea
and I went to the esewing society ope
afternoon. Aristarchus was in ton,
but was coining out at three o'clock to
do sorne important writing. About half -
past four Leander appeared at the sew
ing society -and said be couldn't get in-
to the house, end didn't know what was
to become of him unless he went te the
Little Wanderer's Home ; he supposed
he was too big for a foundling. We
wondered what could have detained
Aristarohus, until Leapiler discovered
that the backdoor was bolted. Then
we wondered no more. I sent Leander
o Mrs. Marston, the one of -our people
who lived nearest to as, to see if he had
alien refuge there.
Mrs. Marston said he called there
about half -past three; he said he was
ocked out of his house and must be
ookiog for a boarding place. Then I
new that Aristarohus did not intend to
et me off easily. I sent Leander out
or a quart of oysters, and I prepared
scalloped oysters and hot popovers, and
delicious cup of offee for Sapper;
pend a jar of his favorite apple sauce
—he does not eat pickles since our mar -
ago; he says he no longer needs them
and I awaited his coming with a little
pprehension. He was a little Iae, very
red, and said he had come for his
runk and books, but a whiff of that
offee, and the fragrance of the oysters
hioh Leatder was just taking from
he oven, juite disarmed him, and by
he time he had satisfied his ap-
etite he had quite forgotten his little
ke.
A few week3 later Miranda Dorothea
nd I went into town to do the fall
hopping. I had the key, but happened
leave the house by the back
oor. We came home about 3 o'olook,
red andcold, and attempted to enter
e house, but found that the screen
oor, which had not yet been taken
own, was bolted as we had not gone
rough it, and defied all my efforts to
eak it down. .Aristarchus had gone
a conference, and would not -be at
ome until bedtime. We walked around
e house. Beery window was fastened,
d there was not so much as a clothes
be left out with which to break one.
ight have put lidiranda Dorothea in at
e cellar window, but the door at the
p of the stairs was securely bolted. I
cited up some stones' and deliberately
med them at the back window of the
rary. The first stone fell short and
opped harmlessly to the ground; the
cond hit the corner Of the house and
unded across the fence iof the neigh -
ring yard, and nearly demolished the
ighbor's oat. I could not see where
e third one went, but Miranda Dor.

ecided not to throw any more stones.
e sat down on the back door step to
it until Leander came from school.
ter we had sat there and shiv-
d. awhile, I said to my small corn-
nion :
I feel like the Peri outside the gates
paradise.'i
Did the Peri feel like a fool, ma-
?" asked that innocent child.
Of course Leander was kept after
ool that night, and when he came at
st if was nearly five o'clock, and
rands, Dorothea was raining tears on
shoulder, and I was mentally resolv-
never to leave the house again.

ander; " it makes a fellow feel
der queer to come home and find his
titer sitting on the back steps like a
gar woman."

" I'm sure I ppreciate your good
judgment too thoeoughly to contiadiet
You,' said I meekly.
Then we both laughed, and Arietar-
chute said I might break every window
in the hat° if I tlettsed. But he took
that back presently, and said he pro-
posed to make a yearly allowance for
window glen, and that I must agree to
cover all damages ; he would be liberal,
he would give me 15 it year. I accepted
this proposal on the condition that e he
would pay the first instalment in ' ad-
vance, which he. really did.
I spent the five dollars for :'keys. I
put a key to each door in the pooket of
every dress Iowned, and into zny wal-
let. I gave Leander a key to each door.
I put two keys on la ribbon and hung it

into some small tin boxes and hid one
under the front door step, and another
under the back door step, aed nailed
another to the back side of thellionse. I
