And sho dressed with such ex
quisite tnstc, too, it set off her
bright dark beauty so well, and she
was such a dainty child iiko littlo
thing—why, even Dick couldn’t
help acknowledging her beauty,
though lie didn't take to her, Iroiu
tile first.
llut I thought him wrong in that,
much us I trusted to his judgment,
foryousee, Dick—well, Dick Fraser
and' my humble self have been be
trothed for several years and next
spiing, after Bessie marries, why I
awn going to London to keep house
with Dick.
But that isn’t my story.
When our diar parents died they
left Bessie and me this (Inc old-
fashioned home, a good supply of
solid old-fashioned lurnilure, and
silver and household linen, a good
old-fashioned servant who had liv
ed with iis since Bessie was a baby,
eighteen years ago, and very little
ready money.
So, as we could not give up cur
home, or be parted, w ; c looked about
us lor two or three good old-fash,
j ioned boarders who would stay with
iis all the year round and be aide
lo pay well for a good houie.
Well, we found two, (list what we
wanted, Miss Burton, an elderly
maiden lady, and Mrs. Woollen, a
widow lady, who were glad to cs
cape from the dust and noise of the
city, ami who were well able to pay
us goon prices for our best rooms.
And Ibis they did, only stipulat
ing that we should not lake oilier
hoarders, hut all have a quiet home
together,
So we were just a bousefull of

tho half grown hoy, who milked
the cow, and tended the garden,
j and drove our little carriage for
I IIS.
We had plenty of applications
from summer boarders, but wc
never took any until pretty Mrs.
Graham came. It was a melting
hot, -lay when a carriage brought
her to our door, with a lively black-
eyed little maid, and she begged
so hard to be taken just for u
-vonth or two of tho hottest, weather,
saying we looked so coot and de
lightful out here, and she dreided
Hie hotel so much that it was hard
to resist her.
Miss Burton was in the parlor
when she called, and was so fasci
nated by the little widows’s loveli
ness and liveliness that she at once
gave her consent to her coming.
So then wc consulted Mrs. Wuot-
ten—you remember our agreement
with tbem made it necessary—and
she, too, v.ns quite won over, and
so the result was wo inado pretty
Mrs. Graham an exception, and
took her and tier lively iittlu maid,

sure they were right, locked them
in a little jewel casket, and locked
them in my desk. As I opened the
door of my room to go down stairs,
1 met Jeanette, who said she was
going to knock. Mrs. Graham was
going to walk over to the village—
could she do anythiug for mcr I
thanked her, said I would be gla-1
if site would call at the postolliec,
and went my way to see about lea
The next morning wo all went to
church except our servant, Emma
who remained at home to have din
nor reedy.
In the afternoon Emma wished
to go ont, and as I did not like the
house to lie quite hIoiic, (’remained
at home myself. Having a slight
headache, I lay down upon the
sofa in the cool parlor and lock
quite a imp. I sprang up as soon
as 1 wakened, and went up stairs
to arrange my hair, meeting pretty
Mrs. Graham coming down.
“1 did not know you were at
home,” said
1 have this moment come in aud
taken off my lint,'' she said with a
sweet smile, “and wasueining down
for a drink of ice water.”
I heard her go into the parlor,
where she sat for a long time play
ing grand old church music and
singing in tones so sweet that it
made uie ihink ot heaven and an
gel's music.
Next morning, as we were gath
ered at tlie breakfast table, Miss
Burton came in, pale and frighten
cd, saying her room had been en
tered during the night by a bur-
glar, and her watch and her chain
and all her valuabio jewelry taken
Wc all sprang up in oonsterna-
lion and went lo Iter room, wlicro
we found tho window which opened
upon a veranda partly raised and
the shutters pushed open, us if
surely indicating the way the bur-
glar lmd entered.
Miss Biirtou had slept soundly
and heard nothing, she said, hut
she noticed Iter window when sho
first woke, and upon searching
found all her jewels gone.
“Wc might all have been mur
dered in our bedst” cried Mrs.
Woollon, pale and trembling, while
pretty Mrs. Graham fell to crying
like u child, declaring sho would
not dare to stay another night un
der a roof where there was no iiinu
in the house.
“Did any of the rest lose any-
tiling?" asked Bessie.
“I haven't noticed in iny room,"
said Mrs. Wcotton; “let us nil go
and look.”
And lo our rooms wc went, 1
opening my bureau with u sinking
heart. It was as I feared—my cas-
ket, which had contained only the
money, was gone!
.Some unaccountable impulse
prompted me lo conceal the loss
from the rest, when I joined them
again, and I hardly noticed that
pretty Mrs. Graham stopped cry
ing and looked qucerly at me wiicn
I reported that my things were nil
right.
And then she fell to sobbing
again, saying bers was nil right,
too, but she never doubted that it
wnvn, and her lovely toilets, and would lie her turn next, nnd she
her wonderful music; for she uiad
the keys of Bessie's piano almost
talk, and ns Bessie hctsclf was the
only player among us. and site but
an indiffeient one, such a musician
was a great treat.
Dick came down to lake tea on
Sunday, as he generally did, and
then lie met our new boarder.
After supper I asked him if he
did not think her lovely.
‘-yes, she is pretty, that can’t he
denied,” lie said slowly.
Well, what fault can you And?”

fared not slay there another night.
Mrs. Wootton reported lliut
every article of (ewelry, and all the
money she lmd in her purse, were
gone, and Bessie said the same.
This was a serious case, and we
were at it loss what to do, I said
I should inform tlie village inspec
tor, nnd then go up to town and
consult Mr. Frazer and a lawyer,
and I begged them to do nothing
till 1 came hack.
They uli promised, but pretty
Mrs. Graham said I must be suro
to dome back before night, lor sbe
knew she was a dreadful little cow
ard, but sire must go over to tho
village, and stay at the hotel for a
few nights. She would only take
Jeanette and a little satchel, and
when we got all quiet again she
would come back.
I was not willing she should go,
but I thought she would get over
her fright before evening and stay,
so I only asked Iter if I could do
any errand in the city for her.
She said no—then yes; ii I would
he so kind I might stop at Wei-
ling's and match a piece of lace for
ber—she wanted live yards more—
il was live shillings a yard—and
she gave me twenty-live shillings
pay lor it.
It seemed to me the train went
at snail's paces that momiug, but
at mst I was in Diek's office.
“Cm—um—yes, to be sure!” said
Dick, stroking his mustache with a 1 feet hair dressing. 60s. All druggists

“By all means keep your pretty-
widow till I come down with an
officer and search tier trunk.
I sprang to iny feet'.
“Why, Dick, arc you mad?” I
cried.
“Neither mad nor deluded, my
dear little woman,” said Dick,
coolly. “But I have a little tbeory
abotit this thing, Mary; and if you
will let mo work it out, I m ,y help
you. I must linvo my own way,
though. Got errands' to do this
morning?” . _
I was too worried to attend to
any shopping for myself, but I re
membered pretty Mrs. Oraham’s
lace nnd answered:
“Yes, one."
“Well, go and do it, and tlieu
come hack here, will you? I think
' 'll have a plan perfected by that
time.” I went to Welllng’a] stop
ped at tlie lace counter, and held
out tho scrap pretty Mr*. Graham
bad given me.
“Can you match this?” I asked
of tbu polite shopman who stepped
up. “I wish to purchase some
more of it."
He took the bit of lace, and 1
noticed a queer look eomc over his
face. I also saw two of the youBg
men draw near and eye mo closely,
and 1 began to feel embarrassed.'
“I don’t know,” said the shop
man, slowly, “Mr. Jones, usk Mr.
Welling to step tills way.”
The young mau addressed, hur
ried away and in a moment tlie
gentleman named came up, which
was a relief to uie, for I saw some
thing was wrong, and I know him
well, ns lie was nn old friend of my
father’s.
“This is a bail business, and re
quires explanation, Miss Mary”
lie said. “A week ago a lady ex
actly answering the description
you give ol Mrs. Graham came
here and bought twenty yards of
this lace. After she was gone It
was discovered that the money she
laid was had. Wc have been try-
ng to trace this lady ever since,
but had not the least clew till now.
What do veil think?”
“1 think,” I tremblingly said,
“That 1 must tell yon the bad
business at our houso last night,
which brought me to town to-day.
So I told him my story, nud
then lie went with mo to Dick’s
office. And when I went home,
I knew alt I had to do.
I told Mrs. Graham that 1 could
not And any msro of the lace, anil
returned her money.
As I had plauned, Dick came
by the six o'clock train, and ne
were all at tea when Emma came
in nnd made the quiet announce
ment:
“Mr. Fraser Is in the parlor,
ma'am.”
I excused myself a moment, and
hastening to tho parlor found Dick
and a detective.
Wo hurried quietly upstairs—1
was so glad Jeanette was out ot
the wny—into pretty Mrs. Graham's
room. One ol her trunks was
gone, but her hat and shawl Iny
upon the bed, and under the pillow
we found her handsome Russia
leather handbag.
Mr. Detective made short work,
of opening that bag, and lo! he bad
no need to look tartberl There
we found all Miss Burton’s Jewel
ry, nil that belonged lo Bessie and
Mrs. Wootton, and my lost inoney
besides a hunch of skeleton keys.
And then his course was plain,
snd beforo 1 hardly know what
happened, Wc had astonished the
group at the supper table, and
pretty Mrs. Graham was a prison
er.
Afterwards we found proof
enough that her work was on Sun
day afternoon, while I lay oeleep
in the parlor, and the window op-
pened at night by her lively maid
Jeauette, to throw eusplrion aside.
llut we never heard any more
of pretty Mrs, Graham or ol Jeam
ette.
Both, no donbt, got their deserts,

I refused to do so.
