IT Tin: IVIIONO IIOIKJG. ‘•Twas rather la'e whin I started Ter my boarding homo in Seventh Street, in a loculity witere all the houses stood alike in a row.” It was a dart night, and somewhat windy. A stieut lamp flickered here and there, and though 1 wa* not intoxim'ed, the liquor that I had imbibed at Dclrnnnioo’s bad got slightly into my head. Thai made no difference however; so when I arrived at the hoes’, I introduced the night key and opened the door. To my supprite there was no gas burning in tbu ball. Was it jo late that the last lodger bad gone in 7 1 had hardly closed the dour before a woman had her arms around my neck and was kissing me. “Ob, Gcoige I am so glad that you have come !” This was followed by another exquis ite kiss. What did it mean 7 The thing was getting interesting. She was a 'sweet little armful, but I could not tell in the dark..ess, whether her color was the recognized standard However I kissed the l*dy in return, and muttered; “You aro quite affectionate to.uight, my dear.” “Why no George, not more so than at other times. But you smell of liqu or. 1 do wish y* n would not go t* Detmonicu’i*.’’ ‘ It’s a lad place I confess, Nellie said I” ‘‘Nellie 7 Who’s Nellie ?’’ "Why—l—that is—l mean I spoke on a venture, I blurted out honestly.” “I don’t understand you. You arc vtniurtnsly drur.k that’s u!l ! Have you no spices about you to chew 7 ldut you spoke of Ncihc, how did you know she had come 7 “I—l divined it.” "You did 7 Well she is here.” A pause ensued, so I asked, “How did she come ?” “In the tiain leaving Germantown at 6, but come up stairs George, she is wailing for yon." Here I bewildcriogly hung my hat on nothin**, the rt ek not being in its jl.icr, an i grouped along the wroog side ts the li aI i for the stairway. ‘ Why George you are drunk in all earnest ! Here this way. Give me your hand. Now steady !’’ It was a warm plump hand, and I held on to it with more pressure than was r* qu*red.” I tn.gau VU get a gnu. inn wes cot drunk, hut hid got in o the wrong hinse. Here was a predica ment f-r a bashful yung man! But what was Itodo 7 Nothing as I enu il see but to taee it out. My name was Geo r ge f*rone thing, and I had been to Del a: oo ice’s; but I hud no marrigeab'e si-jter, nor any other lady that would come up to see me iu ,p e trtia lront Germantown at 6. Oo the landing my guide opened a C or leau'ng into a room just as im penetrably dark. “Are you bore yet Nellie ?” “Yea Jennie,’'answered a sf. ba’f. frightened voice, from the far end of the rot m. So mv “make believe’’ sister’s name was Jennie ! I always liked that name it i« sweet, yet clastic ; übrup*, yet mod ulalcd; natural yet artificial (<m/e spinuit'g machinery.) I was pushed and pulled upon a so fa, by which movement Iwas fl inked on both sides, shoulder high by an ar mor of clastic steel. “llow do you dn Mcllie?’’ sa.d I ‘■Quite well,” said she.’ “Why dont you kiss her, George?’’ intcruptcd tho little wi teb Jennie. The intimation was sufficient. Tnc lips were as lus’ious as a peach. I en vied George the I—Gaorge the genuine. I again got my improvised sister’s hand in mine. There was a ring on i», and I was determined to have it. I might some time dienver her through How long are you going to » : »J ? 1 enquired of Nellie “A week.” “George you are taking my ring, ’ chimed in Jennie. You promised me a pin and carings, when is that new set coming ?” “I ordered them to day.” “Oh, what a dear good brother ! (another delightful hug,) you shall Lave a kiss for every dollar they cast you.” I was getting reckless. “They cost utc fivo hundred dollars, I said. , “New Gecrge yru know that tup t so! will yutake the kisses now, or wait until you can got them “I’ll take them now." “I’ll bail her,” sain Nellie. “No replied Nellie I’ll pay them in installments." “With n payment now to liad the bargain” said I. “Pont spluttered Jennie, T bare gat DAWSON, OA., FRIDAY, DECEMBER SI, 1800. to have the j iwelry lir* t. It is a sin to waste your kisses on * sister, why dont you kiss Nellie 7” “Thank you siid I listing Nillic »cv cral times.” 1 did as I was ordered. What else eould a mau have done with a strong dispocitiou to obUdge, “But why aiut you girls in LoJ?” I a.'k-id, anxious to pet at the meaning if this rather unseasonable in terview. “Had you not better light the gas T “What woul 1 that be for ? said the incomparable Jennie, gas is expensive —gus has gone up—is ris.’ We are •non going away. Wo dont care for you. But and you know why we sat up for you ?" “Can’t imagine.” “Well to morrow evoning there is a fancy ball at Mrs. P ’si Nellie just earn# iu tte nick of time didn’t she ?’’ We have eel ctcd costumes —one f ryou 1 "U're our‘property boy,’you will start out shopping oaily iu ihe morn ing. The time is short. “Ob plague your shopping,” I saiJ yawning.’ After chatting a while, the girls re tired, leaving me to rlrcteh cut my full le g li oa a sofa, as they suppov- But a minute afterward ami I was again in ihe hall below. A door open ed from a sitting noiu or parlor, and a masculiuc voice asked in a lew tone: “Is that you Kemble?” I was somewhat startled. Wbat was coming next? Ki?s:s up stairs, por haps cuffs b low. No doubt il was the original Getrge, so I answered on a ven ture. “Yea George.” “All right. Here's the plate. Put it up the spout some where in Gotham Take care you are not tracked. Meet me in Franklin Fquaroat seven o’clock in Sunday evening. I will do the ‘nice thiDg’ by you. Get ally u can for it— enough to moot the duced unlucky check.” “1 will try, Gorge—or all will be up between you and the Governor. “That’s so Kemble. It sceuieg tome that your vo oe sounds strangely to night.” "D.cs it 7 I caught cold somehow or other.” Good-night Kemble, Keep jourap. poinlmeut.’ I went out of the door with u heavy parcel in my arm-. There was no lays ery about tile matter George, the son, so liberal in his provincial sms bad got in o a scrape through a check forged or otherwise. It had to be met —and the plate wa-* on the way to tilt pawn brokers. Not quite —lor it hud not been delivered to Kemble, the ac complice. The next evening, the following ver sion of the affair, varied somewhat in eaeli particular journal, mat!a it* ap pearance, showing the surprising ex pensiveuess of reporturiul genius : “Daring Burglary.- -Last night a most dar.ng burglary was committed at U*e residence of Mr. Anrahain Fur rail, in Franklin street. In view of the boldness mid frequency of such occa sions, it behoves oar citizens to bo on their guard. The fellow got into the second story window, by climbing up tile spouting, evidently, the paint be ing rubbed off here and there, lie rob I bed the house of silver plate and olh- j er valuables, to the amount of five j thousand dollars. What is the m s' singular and the most audacious of all is, that lie came in o a room in which a daughter oi Mr. Fitrrall happened to be at 'he tim». Imitating the voice of, and fire tending to be her brother (aided by the darkness,) he pay fully slipped a dianoitd tin r from her finger. After tne sei’tiiidrtl to fake a nap on Ihe so fa.

Mr. Faaral! beard a noise, got up and reached the hall just in time to get a gl.tnp=e ol the fellow and discharge bis revolver at him- The ball entered the door frame just above his head. •‘A man was noticed prowling about the house in the eatly part of the even ing. and, no d.-nht, is the same fellow who recently robbed the house of Mr. Fak'g, in Wa’nut street, and broke in-J ♦o the clothing store ol Bell & Co.', . With feet elevated, and with a ci gar in my mouth, l read this in ntj little cozy lawyer’s office. I laughed heartily;* I had not tupposed that 1 was so villainously brave, or had made such a miraculous escape. Ab ! the reporter is a gront man! A man mnke h meagre, disjointed speech from a balcony; it appears in print, and he is astonished to find how gramaticnliy correct it i», how K#rmnin to the sub ject, how *ententiously coupled. Su perb, eloquent, oratorical. The rojmr ter can damn one with emphasis, or hoist him on the shoulders of pub ic opinion, transmuting him from a demi john to ii den i-god 1 I took the tiny ring out of my pick et book looked at if, thought of Jennie, and siglnd. There had been such aban don iu her kisses so much of nie-nmr ism in the touch of her bands, th at 1 determined to cultivate her aequain'anoe and “hang up my hat in the Farrall mansion, in the place where tho hat rack really was. The newspaper report revealed to me the name and residence of tho cap tivating amoret. In going up Vine street, on the evening iu question, I had gone half a square too far, and in. stead of turning up Seventh atreet, turned up I’rnnklin, which is between Sixth and Seventh. While reading the account of the burglary, Cummings, the chief of po lice, with wl orn I w,*B quite intimate, passed the door. I called him in and related the circumstance He was a practical joker, and laughed immoder ately. 1 shoved him the plate which I had locked up in my de-k. "Kebp quiet a day or two, Tait,” he said. "There is more fun in this af fair.” On the afternoon of the same day, a short, portly, red faced irritable, old gentl rnan, dignified my office room with his presence. Ife stood close up to me, eyed me narrowly, wiped bis red li.ee with a red silk hunkerchief, tapped the ii 1 us bis snuff-box, and said : ‘J am Abrubam Farrai'?”J said, extending my hand. ‘ Take a seat.’’ The name of the visitor made me feel uneasy. Why had he come to me ? "You nro no doubt aware, ihut I I was robbed, the other night,” said Mr. Farrall. ‘ So I learned front the pipers.” “Ail of which lie with the usual per sistence. Not a single account ap proximates to the truth.” “In what way, Mr. Farrall?” “In every way ;in toto. They lie egYegiously. The robber did not tu, f,,. M'ootmg ; f.u .-.{ii,,. , u at the same door he w ent out oj Jle did not [aim himself off upon my daughter as her brother and my eon, consequently she was robbed of no diamond ring I did not see him, nei ther did 1 fire at him ; consequently I did not miss him ” “Peihnfsyou were not robbed, eith er,” I said. ‘ Ob, yes, I was ; pnlpably, scatida lons'y I have come to you to have it ferreted out.” “To me? Why, I am no detective !’ I said, with surprise He wiped his face, took a pinch ol snuff, threw up his bund doubting’.y, and raid : “Ob. yes yiu are, Mr. Tait. Cum mings sent me here—the chief ol po ice.” So Cummings was bound to do me a good turn. What better way to be come intimate with Jennie than by play ing detective ? I could have hug ged my thoughtful and diseriminatin j friend. ‘Mr. Furrall, lam an attorney, as you know, and the job hinted at is not in my line. But ’’ “Not professionally, I suppose.” ‘•No; but as Mr. Cummings has seen fit to rec in mend you to me, 1 shall under;;,ke the case.” ‘•And what will you require?” “Asa compensation ?” “No” (gruffly.) “Oh, yes," nu’il I. Well, I will ro aflnir by every on* djfnwCtea ttreru with, and a carte Manche admittance to }our house for a fortnight. i.y,, u shall have it. You shall come and go when you p'eusc, do ns you please, question whom you please Only recover tne the plate and identify the thief.” • I will try. Tell jour sen, George, to call here this evening. Be can be of some assistance to me.” The son oiled in the evening. Mo tioning him to a seat, I commenced business at cnee by leaning over the table and asking, while looking into his face: “Mr. Farrnll, how much money is it that you are in need of ?’’ “I ? In need of money ! I do not understand you, ’ he exclaimed. “A bit of paper, check, crotherwise forged or genuine, is giving ynu much annoyance. It may be a tritling tu’ng; a prolonged existence may nuke it a 1 w re’chedlv serious one.” “I cannot divine your meaning,’’ said the fellow brazon-fac’d. “Look here Mr. Fitrru'l, your fath er has selected mo to ferret out that, burglary. lam already at work Tho sooner you and I come to an under-* standing, tho better it will he for one < f us, which will ba you in all probabili ty Night before last you gave a young man named Kemble a package in your father’s huT. That package conta ned tho plate in question. Now while I will not suy that you Were the thief, I will enquire wbat was the sum you wished to realize by that opera tion ? You cortain’y understand me now.” Yo ing Farrall troinbiod and clang ed c 1 ir. lie answered slowly *uG huski y : “Two thousand dollars ” “Now yo j are getting explicit If I give you a check fi-r that amount, will you give me your individual obligut on therefor, and promise hereafter to keep out of such abominable charueter com p oiqising scrapes ?'*- “I promise both; and will, in addi tion, allow you to aonsider me ‘yours respectfully.’” , “Well, hero is tho check.” “And shall Ibe compromised about the plate ?” “Not if it is recovered ; not in any event if I can help it.’” As the render may imagine, I was an admirable detective, sc far as this particular case was concerned. I be came intimate with Miss Farrall du ring that fortnight, interested her in me, and became a favorite gurst there after. in due time I informed the old gentleman that I had recovered the plate, but bad not secured tbs tuief He camo to iny office, and I unlocked the desk to hand over 10 him the valu ables.

A good story is told iu Paris at the expense of a very hamlsome and rich widow of tbs most cxomplary cbaract r, who has a small and elegant retreat at Versailles, in addition to her own resi lience.
