Mary Wilson had passed the first seventeen years of Uet lile in a country village; then she went to the city to visit her lorother, and found its attractions so allur - ing, that six mouths passed away and tile time of her return to country life wa c , as yet, indefiuite ly postpone 1. For two uiouibs previous to her visit, her country friends had vied with each other in teiling her tales of the cuuniug, the wickedness, the subtili’y of city sharpers, pickpocKats and bu -glars, until the idea becune firm/y rixed in her mind that she was going into a dtn of thieves; but as yet she had met with no adventure worthy of note, uud was fast reaching the eoncluion that city people were no worse thin their ccuutry neighbors, when something oecured which caused her, for a short time at leasi, to change her mind. Rut of this more anon. She was still heart whole, al though she was sought by several very eligible suiters since her ar rival in city, for she was a pre.tj girl very, desirable for her own sweet sake, but still more so as Mary Wnson, si-ter of the wealthy and influential Lawyer Wilson And this was bow matters stood when one sabbath she cbauced to see a stranger in the pew adjoin ing her brothers, and coaid not help seeing that the s. ranger was regarding u r with admiring eyes very handsome eyes they wereioo, but she tried todismiss nli (bought of him and them, as she bad done of others on similir oscasioLs, but found it impossible. Those dark eyes presented themselves to her mental vision with a persistency for which she could not account. On Monday evening her brother bought tickets and his wife and sister io intend a lecture, aid Mi - Moliie Cutight herself won dering as she donned her cloak and na< it the dark eyed genllt inau would be there, and if he would loed for her. She found the lecture insufferably dulf, and concluded after a time to return name.

The door ft as partly open, aliough she was sure she had closed it, the gas w*s turned it, and in the half light she saw balore she reached the doorway a man in the room. His back was toward b,er, and he was walking toward a large closet a tie other side of the apartment He open ed the door and stopped inside ; out giauce told her that the key was in the 100 - k; she ran swiftly across the room her feet making little or no sound ou the thick cat peC “Oouufouud it” she heard uun mutter “why can't they leave things where a feliow cau find them 1" “Yes.” she thought, her first surmise was correct ; it was a buiglar.” Like a flash she ‘brew herself agaiust the door and turned the key. She was ier ribly frightened and she felt quite aure she would faint, But as her prisoner made no demonstrations beyond iryiug the door gently this feeling soon wore off. She turned on the gas drew a chair in front of the coset door, where she sat down to consider what it was best to do. If she called the ser vants they would wouid be Light ened ; there would be noise and Ouufuoiou, and perhaps he would get away, if she went down after a policeman he might get out while she was gone; no, she would stay where she was and keep guard umil her Drother should retavu. She had surely caught him and did it very neatly, too ; and the more she thought of ii ( the braver aud more jubilant she jrew She wished he wouid speak ; she was anxious to know uow he felt about his situation.
