She looked aghast, but he kept sturdily at her' side until they were facing Jessamine's dragon. Then he said, with his best flourisb: "Oh, Madam Brookmere, I have brought this• young person to tell you why. she. 'can't possibly come in. She is to go rowing with me. We will be back by late tea • time, . The afternoon is too heavenly to be wasted on land." "Jessamine, go upstairs and fetch my embroidery. Be sure you don't for- get my glasses," madam said, as though the young man had not spo- ken. Jessamine made to obey, but Wills held her back. He • lifted his bat to the elder lady, turned and walked off, saying over his shoulder: "Send the meld up, madam. It's bad luck to turn back. I can't ,allow Miss Jessamine to risk spoiling our eruise." • • "Oh, what will she do to me?" Jessa- mine cried as they hurried' 'away.

Then, you see, you will have to 'come to any house wheth- er or no." . "Mercy, you do take a lot on your- self!" Jessamine said, pulling awayher hand, her eyes' dancing wickedly,. "I begin to fear, Mr. Wills, that you have taken our little affair seriously"-- • "Isn't it to betaken seriously?

"She needn't have even them," Wjlls. said booribly, "If you'll agree to see her to the house Iu be glad enough 10 put her asbore. Not in the humor for walking,myselt and still less fer botan lung" Half an hour later Mrs. Brookmere was surprised and, if truth must be spoken, not wholly pleased to see'Jes- samine sauntering home, her hande'full. of, scarlet bloom, with the Rev, Bewly Beveridge at her elbow. Now the min- ister bad been madam's own compan-:. Oa all through the earlier afternoon, and, though he had, not Bald. much quite too little to make madam 'aware of •her own state of mind -he had look- ed unutterably things, She had found the looking pleasant—she was of this women made to be married; chndlesis, although. she had burled three' hus- bands, and still possessed of an alert and lively vanity, She liked to see her name at 'the head of lists. of patron, asses, especially missionary and rescue bands. Further, flattery was meat her soul loved to feed .on.. The Rev, Bewly• had found, that out at about the second minute and acted upon the knowledge,. Indeed, his mind was pretty well made up to wry her • before the interview ended. I ut then he had not seen .J'es- samine in this mood, Jessamine upset bis calculations;, she fairly swept him off his. feet. • Madam was sadly puzzled through- out the next week. Wills haunted the • house as much as ever, though Jessa- mine openly flouted him,, at the same . time smiling shy propitiation at the bishop to be. He also was in a maze. Jessamine's encouragement was. too • elusive to warrant giving over his sur suit of madam, yet sufficiently unset- tling to make him at times distrait, Wills glared at him and 'ostentatiously ignored • him: It was that 'which gave hind the ;strongest hope. Wills must bo jealous—madly jealous. If only Beveridge had never begun to court that old woman! She was in the he- ginning eager to play Paltry godniother.•. It was sickening to f.et that he had disturbed this pious purpose, making the lady feel that she was not toe old to inspire grand passion number four; • Presently he began .to see light.

A. Jaelr• son. Mr. Jackson'sbusiness card con- veyed the information that be was in the life insurance business, and be gave me to understand that he intend- ed to establish a branch ageney at Glenville. He was a man of middle age, bad a prosperous look and was a Very glib talker. I realized that the glibness was a part of his business, 'and as to his general appearance I was prepossessed in his favor,. I: named my price,, and he thought it reasons ble. He paid me $100 in cashto hold the offer for a week. • I bad. paid great attention to details inbuilding the house. I laid the best Of burglar alarms, something new in the way of window fasteners, and the place was connected with a police sta- tion and a fire engine •house. I needed to be secure. I had a collection of coins and stamps worth $15,000,, and any burglar who once got in could have taken the whole away in a corp. mon ,gripsack. The newspapers were always speaking of the collection, and 1 realized that sooner or later some en-. terprising man would seek to lay hands on it without the formality of a sale. ing. Ile had cut the alarm wire for that window. That I aliould discover; something wrong and trace it out when I went 'hiset the alarm mt to o'clock be very well knew, He must have fig- , used, then, on entering the window at an earlier hour. AIy collection of coins .and stamps was in a room by itself next to this closet, and the door was never locked till bedtime. With the famliy all in the sitting room the. treasure roomwas almost unguarded.' The window by which Mr. Jackson would enter looked out upon a aide yard. He could. skulk along by the shrubbery and escape be- ing seen. It was a high window,. and I therefore carried an empty Barr"l around for his convenience, Then the eook was ordered to hurry hp bar work 01 clearing away, and before•8 o'clock the familyoccupied the living room, and there was piano playing and sing- ing. Of course 1 did not mean that 11Ir. Jackson should go out as be came In, and I also wanted to capture him with- out the aid of the police, I therefore procured a. bear trap at a hardware Store, and this wap setunder the win-- dow in, the battery room. He couldn't enter without .stepping into it, and the great ' laws were certain to give him' the warmest kind of greeting. There was no tedious delay to keep my nerves on edge. It 'WAS a dark, rainy night, but ata quarter to 9 Mr Jackson showed up. I bad stretched a Mr.: Jackson had told me that he was going to Chicago the day after he in .spected the house, but ho . didn't- go. He came back to measure some of the rooms and• take a closer look, so -that he .might satisfy his `wife's curiosity when he did go. He paid particular at - t ration- to the electric wiring' on this occasion, and his words of praise made me feel. rather proud. My battery, room, as I called it, was .i . a closet between the dining•room and the library, .• and in here led the tele- . phone wires from.the.roof, The batter- ies for the burglar alarm and the`vari' ors bells about the house rested on shelves in the closet, and I. thus had the whole system under my : thumb. . There was an outside window to this closet, and I'showed Mr..
