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 women, jon see—not a man on D' 1 *? t|, e p|. VCOi unless wc except Tom. 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, Jeanette, Into our charmed house hold. She look possession that very day, coming down with throe large trunks from town. She professed herself delighted with our line old home and plentiful country fare, and she certainly delighted us with her beauty, and ber bewitching I u. h- Dpiy "f Staple and Fancy Groceries I Fresh Ciiieiiinafi [leer mi UruiiL'Iil!

M I hive a-lde»l to my place a ?*-jd 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?” 111:111.1x1: or MITCHELL’S ^-zEKiKF 1 !

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 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.

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.
