The milk should be protected as caiefully a3 possible fiom dust and then sliaincd into the cans in which it is to be transported or in which it is set foi cream rising. The strainer cloth, carrying cans and separator, if one is used, should be given an extra washing and scalding in order to. destroy any of 'these germs which liave been tlie cause of the ropy milk. - There is no 'doubt that this tiouble may be .overcome in this way, and the success one has in doing it will depend entirely on how carefully he ptotects the milk from the germs, which must get into the milk after it is drawn from the cow, ., i,' Cures For Ivy Poison.

A doctor's Weighing a Thought. Professor \"W. G. Andcison of Yale Unl- fveisity lately succeeded in piacticnlly -weighing the, result ot a thought's action. A studentMvas placed on a \"inuscle-bcd,\" poised on a. balance bo that - iho center of giavlty of his body was exactly over its\"*-center. iWhcn he was set to solving mathematical problems, the inci cased weight' of blood at liiei head.changed his center 'of giavity and caused nil immediate* dip of tho bnl'ince.to'that side. Repeating the multiplication' table of nines caused gieaLer'displaccmciit than lcpeating the table of fives, and, in guiicial, 'that displacement'grew greater with gi eater intensity of thought. Canying the experiment fiuthcr, the experimenter had tho student imagine himself going through leg-gymnastics.\" 'As he peifoimcd. the feats mentally,' one by one, the blood flowed to the limbs in sufficient qtianti- tios to tip the'balance accoicling to tho movement thought of. By puiely mental action the center oi gravity of tli* 'body was shifted four mche3, or a\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD( much as by raising the doubled arms above the shoulders. These experiments jyere repeated on a huge nurnber'of students, with tho same results. - To test still fui tiler the -nasi r-ring influence of mind over muscle, tko'strengtb of the right and the left aims oi^ eleven young men was registered. The average strength of 'the right arms was one hundred and eleven pounds.; of the left arms, ninety-seven pounds.,. The men practised special exercises with\" the right hand only for one week. Test3 of both arms were\" again made, and, *\hilo the average strength of the right arm had increased six pounds, that of the unexercised left arm had increased seven pounds. This showed cleaily that tlie brain action connected with the gymnastics' developed not only the muselc3 put in action, but also other muscles controlled by the same portion of the brain. . This could only come about by sending blood and nervous force to the proper parts by purely mental action. Professor Anderson says of .the results: \"I can prove by my muscle-bed that the important .thing in all exercises is the mental effort put forth.

Now the lawyer had^ been fully answered, and there was^no occasion for fcim to remain longer in the kitchen. But he hesitated a moment, and then advanced toward the table where the Widow had been at work. \"Making bread, eh?\" he said. \"Re- jttlly, Mrs. Grewy, I must compliment s/ou on your effort.\" -C The effect of these words on the fRridow was truly remarkable. They not \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDonly caused her to blush again in a \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDvery oharmlng manner, but thc lawyer mould have sworn that in thc space of about three sccondB she grew tv/enty \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDyears younger, so pleased and animate cd did she become under the effect of bis compliment. ' Now the truth was that the widow (had long woishipped in silence tho stately lawyer, and had in fancy cherished the idea that he would make a more than acceptable substitute for tho date Mr. Grewy, who in truth had been tmt a plain and illiterate, though good* matured blacksmith. Mr. Saybrook, fiiowever, had hitherto never manifested (the slightest interest in the widow's efforts to please him, and this sudden \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDunbending quite took her by suiprise. .The lawyer, though, had long been aware of the not very carefully concealed worship of his housekeeper, but, \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwhile it had not been displeasing to his \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDvanity, to reciprocate her sentimental attitude was about thc last thing he (Would have thought of under ordinary 'circumstances.

That girl's obstinacy annoys me exceedingly. Everything is straight now if it wasn't for her infatuation for that young fool of a Rolff. I have the old man completely in my power, I think, and I believe I could speedily bring him to exert his authority. But you have been so opposed to it, I have hesitated.\" \"Well,\" interposed Ralph, \"I don't fenow but that I am getting a little tired of the way matters are going myself.

I \"Well, never mind at present,\" replied his father. \"All you need concern yourself about is to note thc result. Old Bruyn will doubtless be in this evening, and I shall see what I can do with him. My Idea is, that if wo can only induce him to bring a moderate amount of pressure to bear on Rosa She will speedily yield. This is the sen- timental period of her existence, and young Rolff having secured the first place in her affections, she naturally clings to him. It is veiy natural, and, in fact, she is to be commended for it; only it is cursed inconvenient for us. But she will not be a whit less devoted ,to you, my boy, after she once makes up her mind to accept you as her lover. She is rather more constant than her sex generally, and I like her the better for it.\" \"She's a tip-top girl,\" replied Ralph, \"and I'm hanged if I don't grow to like her better evety time I see her. She's the soul of sweetness and sincerity, and I'm almost souy for her, s>ho giieves do over that follow Claude. But of course I'll make her a better husband, and I fancy I'll cuie her yet of admiration for anybody beside myself.\" \"Well, Ralph, we'll hope for the bent, and work for it as well.

But don't you fear sir; she'll never throw herself away on that young scamp. I'll take care of that. She's always been a good girl, and she'll do as I say, I'll warrant. I've taken a liking to Ralph myself, and Rosa will like htm too, yet. But he's a dunder head.

It won't do to have our plans broken up.' \"It would grieve mo exceedingly,\" replied the lawyer. \"I had already bo- gun to make my estimates for having the old house repaired and fixed over, when this offer came, and, together with Ralph's despondent report, set me to thinking seriously. But, of course, my dear Mr. Bruyn, as you say, wo must not allow our plans to fall througt so easily. I am dlsp'osed now to agteo with you that the fault is partly Ralph's. I must talk to him, and give him some advice. These young people need tho supervision and advice of their parents, Mr. Bruyn. \"Aye, that they do; and I mean my 'daughter shall have it.\" Thus under the influence of wine and the blandishments of the lawyer, the old farmer was fully caught in the trap that had been laid for him; and, after some further talk, he started for home, full of thoughts and plans that boded no happiness to Rosa, ' CHAPTER XXII. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Dome days passed by, and the tolls about poor Rosa Bruyn grew more distressing and hard to bear. She could see that her father had fully set his mind on her mariying Ralph baybrook. She was aware that he was a man who, with all his kindness of heait, never could brook being thwarted in any* way and was altogethei too practical aud coarse in his natuie to appicciate her sentimental objections to the -proposed matrimonial agreement lie appaiently did not consider that her objections could be anything ,more,sthan temper- aiy, or that sooner 'or later she would not forget Claude Rolff and be lcody to accept Ralph in his place with all hei accustomed chcei fulness and obedience \" , ' 'At the same time, a change'was going on in the nature of the old fai mer. He had for two or three yeais letired fiom the more active labor In managing his farm, and now found time e\ ery day to spend a few houis in the village, and was certain to make thither a leg- ulai- evening trip This spare time was mostly spent either in the tavern or In the company of lawyer Saybiook The lawyer not only liked a social glass himself, but was well awaie of the ef feet of good spliits in promoting a friendly and complying disposition ir those he wished to.influence, and, interested as he was In securing the -welfare ,of Ralph with the old fai mer, he ,dld not fail to ply him with his best liquors as often as he called. Moreover, the old man took pride in supporting the character of a free-hearted burgher, and did not escape from Ronk's tavern of an evening without having indulged in more strong spirits than was good for him. J j < Mrs. Bruyn and Rosa could both notice that the effect of these potations was to Increase the irascibility and obstinacy* of the head of the household when i he was crossed, while ithe constant brooding to become the possessor of more lands, and particularly of the rich fields and he'avy woods adjoining on,the side of the Rolff estate, became more and more a monomania with him. The means the old farmer took to influence his daughter\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDor, rather, the attitude and disposition towaid.her which were a natural result of his feelings and wishes\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwere such as to greatly ' increase her distress and weaken her res olutlon. .' \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD He used no harshness toward her. His irritability showed itself rather in a quarrelsome and dictatorial disposition toward his farm laborers, and a faultfinding habit about the house which was a source of great1 anxiety to Mi's. Bruyn. * ' . The generous-hearted gul was deeply grieved thus'to see herself the innocen/ cause of. trouble to others. Toward herself, however, her fathet 'was more than usually'kind. He treated her obstinacy in clinging to her faith In'Claude with* a bluff and hearty ridi. cule,' but under it his love for her shone out In a certain tenderness of look and tone that belled his curt words. I Rosa recognized \"this, and it added to 'the difficulty of her position. Her na- 'ture was naturally 'a self-saciiflclng one. Were her own happiness'alone ln- .volved, she felt that she could yield without a murmur^to anything that her 'father wished. But her word wai spllghted; deep in her heart she relt convinced of Claude's constancy and faltn; sne could not face the reflection of hia returning one day to find that che had been weak and false. Thus, all the efforts of hf-r father to Convince her of Claude's unworthiness only resulted In her clinging more firm-, ly to her faith in him. The old farmer was withal amused With her display of firmness, and rather admired her spirit. Had it not been for his frequent visits to lawyer Say- brook's office and the skill with which that accomplished schemer played on bis ambition and avarice, he probably, (Would have left Ralph to his own fate. But the fear of seeing Rolff House go Into the hands of a stranger, and of entirely losing the lands he had coveted for so many years, spuired him on. He sat on the front stoop one day, in his accustomed chair, smoking his pipe/ It was early autumn, and his eyes could wander over a portion of his own land, and down to where the woods and meadows of the Rolff place joined his own line. Over the ciest of the inteivening hill, the gables and chimneys of Rolff (House rose clear against the sky. It was\" a beautiful view, and Rosa, (Who had appeared at the hall 'door stood awhile passively admiring it. indulging, n* doubt, sad reflections as to the future. i \"Come here, Rosa,\" said the farmer. j She stepped quietly to his side. \"See there,\" he said taking his pipe fiom his mouth with one hand, while 'with the other lie pointed toward Rolff House,'\"there lies thc best bit of land In tho,whole country.

Th* winter is_ again upon us and we are now in.danger of-being un*- provided with adequate medical assistance. Last year after, a great deal of agitation by the -Atlin Dis-V/- trict BoarcT.pf\"Trade,. Dr., Young was granted\" a special permit t\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD practise here;, now that the electors have returned\"Dr. Young as member for the District, he has resigned his position of Resident Physifiianr and will be leaving us veiy shortly. The appropriation made by the Government of'$500 per annum appeals to be insufficient to induce a good doctor and surgeon to take up his residence here; such being the case, we think it incumbent on. the Government to take immediate steps to provide Atlin with a thoroughly competent doctor and sur- eon even if tbe subsidy has to be increased. Many of our citizens are now packing up and getting ready to leave, not daring to take the risk of keeping their families here knowing that medica.1 assistance if needed would probably notbe obtainable. It is a shame and disgrace that such a condition of affairs should be possible, and immediate action is necessary on tbe part of the authorities, who, would be morally responsible if deaths occur through want of skilled assistance. It is said, that B. C. graduate** are not ayaila ble, at least ,soour Gold Commissioner was advised by wire,- we feel confident however, that if the position were properly advertised in the Vancouver and Victoria papers that there would be plenty of applicants for tbe appointment.

It was really too contemptible the way those people acted 1 They jwere asked everywhere, and never gave *pas much as an old-fashioned tea in return. And they were such pretty girls, . (too, and so popular with thc men, it peemed too bad to cut them. But why , on earth couldn't, they give something? Even if it were only an \"At Home,\" that \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDone only goes to to show one's newest gown. , And then the mean little tricks ,they resorted to! Just as everybody \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwas getting tired of inviting them, and ifchey.were just about lo topple off thc \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDsocial wave, they always gave out that fchey were going to have a' large party, \"were going to ask eveiybody; and on \"the strength of this they received invi- jtations for the rest of the season. But SAe \"large party\" always failed to materialize. Some of their intimate ' friends maid it was. because their upstairs was \"awfully shabby;\" but really, if people \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDcouldn't keep in the swim they should, retire from the struggle gracefully. At any. rate, Jane had left them outj she ,iwas not going to be imposed upon. , A light step on the walk startled Jane \"from her reverie, and 'her bosom friend, tHttMor Smith, came tripping up in ra- tdSaat summer garb. I \"How can you lie there this lovely' morning? You said you had ever, ed \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDmany things to see to 'before going to the mountains.

I \"Oh, well, I need a rest before I go. jNb one ever wants to go to a summer resort fagged out. You know how wearing It is,\" said Jane. \"What do you think I got at the post( this morning?

Her blue muslin with the lace was still fresh, but then pale blue was rather hying to any but the most youthful complexion by daylight. Why not \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwear 'her cream voile with the medallions? It was intended for swell occasions at thc Mountain House, and she might as well look her best, especially ' as Bob Martin would be there.

The afternoon was anyth'ng but dull, with the chihlien to be amiistd and ics- cued from sevciul moie oi less penlous situations. Eight o'clock found them 'making the home tup, each with a young Smith fast asleep on her hands.

' Next morning Jane slept late, nnd hud to Tush about to keep her appointments at vaiious diessmakcis' and dry goods idiops. Several times she met Bct,aio Martin, who greeted hci with the mo-it \"engaging of smiles. She was late for luncheon, and had baiely time to snatch a little rest before it was time to dress for the Martins' party. , ' This was a very., important ceremony. Baths and wavings of hair and ari.inge- ment of laces absorb a large amount of time**\"but when at last Miss Thornton sallied forth she was well satisfied with the'result. To, see her sauntering leisurely along, the peifection,of grace and elegance, one could never have guessed how hard it had been to get her back hair done/at tho > proper angle or the fearful struggle she had had in getting arrayed in her new voile. When she reached her destination tho party was in progress. Some of lher younger guests were playing tennis, while others were scattered in groups on the lawn. The \"older ladies prcfeired to remain chatting indoois or hugged tho verandahs, trying to look as if they were thoroughly enjoying themselves. Jane made her way to the diawing- rooiH, where the Marlins were icceiving their guests. As they greeted her she \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD was conscious of a peculiar note in their cordiality, a vague indefinable something which quickly communicated, itself to her. A sort of veiled surprise, impossible to explain or describe. She was prescnt- \"ed to the cousin, who proved to be a fine- looking man of simple'manners, with whom one was at ease in a moment. But much as Jane felt inclined to stay and enjoy his society, she felt impelled to get away as soon as she could decently make her escape. After partaking of the ethereal viands usually served on such occasions, Jane made her adieux, excusing herself on thc ground that she had many preparations to make for her intended journey. ' * ., \" On tho way home, ,try as 6he would, she could not account for the strange feeling she had experienced on greeting the Martins. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD There was something wrong, but what? As she neared home an awful thought struck her. She hurriedly opened the door and rushed to the'hall- table. There lay the pink envelope still unbroken. She hastily tore it open, and read the following: l**-\"Cf' \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD rf*. MRS.

You are cordially invited. *' Jane turned cold and collapsed on thc lowest step of the stair, utteily regardless of her new voile in her humiliation. Was ever anyone in such a predicament? What would thc Martins think? And Bob Martin! And she had made such a good impression. *If she had only opened that envelope, and not taken so \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDmuch for granted! How should she ever explain? She could not eat .at dinner, .thinking and planning out ways of making the matter'right; and by bedtime 'she had in imagination apologized and explained to the-.

Occasionally the ridiculous side of it would come uppermost and she would laugh heartily, hut misery (returned when she faced the awful facts \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Hot sleep that night was troubled, but when morning came her resolve wn-* made.

In these'days, when there's a cry for \"all things new,\" anything that is not \"up to dale,\" however, interesting and valuable it may he, is apt to be relegated lo the shelf. In my\" long life I must say, truly, I have always been treated with'the utmost deference and affection, for, you see, people of good family and high education generally aie veiy much attached to handsome and usefiil bits of furniture, and seldom discard them for a fashionable \"fad.\" Anyway, I hear that we are quite in demand now, though in bygone days there were few houses that could not boast of ono of us, and, to my thinking\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDbut that's neither here nor there. I am two hundred years old, and not ashamed to say so. A good deal of ticking I've done in that time, and a good deal of life I've seen. 'Ah, me! thc changes .that take place with the flight of ages. Tlie old'faces vanish and are replaced ny the younger ones, who in* their turn have their dav and'then make way for others. Yet, 'looking back, it does not seem so very long ago 'that ladies wore powdered hair and patches, and inflated their gowns with'huge hoops, and went a-visiting hi sedan chairs. Queer times those, when a man'was hanged for stealing a sheep and duels were evciy-day occurrences. 'Twas always love affairs they \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDfought over. Ladies, I have heard, dye their hair now, instead of powdering it, lovo lo lidtcn to tlie negro melodies which she sometimes sang in the even- legs, lo the accompaniment of the biuijsi iter voice was clear and sympathetic, but often had a sad ring in it, T thought I'd haps she was a wee bit homesick, lor all sho had a most devoted hu-rtmnd. Amongst her songs my favurilo was \"Swanneo Kivcr\"\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDit touched mo wonderfully\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDand then there was the. \"Canadian, Boat Song.\" She would sing that witn Mr. Archie. 1 aid enjoy tnat onei It was such a pity, 1 oiten thought w the days went by, that the young cres turs seemed as far 'away fiom the old ladies' heart's as ever. The trouble wa* they had made up their minds that thei? nephew was .to marry the fail, tall and stately daughter'of a neighboiing bar onet, who possessed irreproachable mm ners and \"a family nose\" Rcpoi t saic she had been \"fair daft\" about our younj- master Out repoil often makes miitiikeii \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDbut 1 must not digress, or you'l! be\" dubbing me a tiresome old chat t\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD box. About two months latei we dccide-l tc jjive a dinner party\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDand to give 'it iu style too. Just'the day before it was'fo come oil' an unlucky accident befell the coachman, who was to assist in waiting \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD; table. lie sprained his ankle. Mis. Archibald \"fished up,\" as she expressed il, a seemingly veiy smnit young man to take his place. So everything went off swimmingly. What a display of find things! The old family plate was all,on shpw, and made a brave one. 'Twas a blight, happy gathering: many young, fresh faces, too, amongst it. Tnat pleased me; you sec, when one gets old it seems natural like to feel that way. Mr. Archie told- such amusing anecdotes of hia hie in the colonies, and also some terrifying ones, principally rclating^to 'his trip to a place called\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDsomething ending with a \"dike,\" 'where gold was plentiful.

They are the so* Itce, of the old, but the young should not grieve. . -, \"It's my nose, Archie,\" she was saying, half laughing, half crying. \"I think I could make them love me if only I had a 'family nose' and could look stately.\" -,'.'.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD; ; , j - You .should have heard Mr. Archie laugh, and he assured her she had thc dearest little nose in the world. -It wa*? the feature in'her face he'd first faller in love with,*\"and then he quoted some poetry about \"the petal of a flower\"\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \"tip-tilted, like the,petal of a flower,\" that was it. , s *\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD' -* e,They stopped beside me. - \"They'll low you, never fear, some day, sweetheart,' \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDays he. \"Won't they, old fellow?\" Anr' I etruck two o'clock, which signified. \"They will!\"- I.didn't think, then ,that 1 \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDbut I'll tell you all about'it. So we were left alone-^-and some fim grouse from the moors (made^ their ap pearance. Of course \"you know these birds are always kept till they are quile old, so Susan took them down to thi. cellar. I'm far away,from heather and sportsmen now, but ah me! a tiny sprig of it affects me as nothing else can, ex cept, maybe, the bagpipes. I dare saj I'm * very sentimental\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDbut, dear me: what would life be without sentiment which is, after all, just love and propei feeling, without which, I'm thinking, tin pulso of this big, bustling world would cease to boat. Now what happened after this is om of the stirring incidents of my life. M.\ body is long, but so i3 my head, and IT always feel sure that 'twas the ne\\ man who had taken our old coachman'.- pkce_ for these few days who was thi culprit. He was very far removed from being a professional at his work, bub he meant business for all that, and Mi- Archie's absence from home was a step in the right direction. ^ \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD About two o'clock on the morning of the 18th of August, when all was quiet, and asleep in the old house, I heard r queer kind of fuzzling in the dining-room Then light footsteps seemed to come to and fro into the hall. Everything was- dark as pitch. Even the harvest moo-i waa tired of shining, and not a ray,.from her fell (as usual) on the tiled floor oi the lobby just then. Hark! What\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwho is that creeping noiselessly -down the thickly carpeted stairs? My old eyes could not see\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDand yet, is that not n white figure, for all the world like a big si'owflake, drifting down, down.* Ah! a streak of moonlight falls athwart it and shows clear and distinct the figure of Mi Archibald's little wife. She etooned as if to pick up or grope for something, and I heard her say, \"J may have dropped it in the garden.\" Then she gave a kind of stumble, and a sort of stifled cry. Then\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDoh, my! J saw her lift our solid silver, richly chased coffee-pot from the lowest step, just bo- hind the knight in armor, who had stood sentinel there, grim and stern, for loni** long years. The moon, always capricious, hid her fnce again behind a cloud, but I could sec thai big snowflake, standing stock still, as if it had been frozen into a beautiful statue. She stooped towards thc dining-room as if listening, and then she crossed swiftly over to me. I was only a couple of yards away, luckily. Sho pulled open my glass door and one after another sho pushed inside of me the collection of silver plate thai tho \"gentleman\" af- work now in the pantry had placed fher^, carefully avoiding \"clinking\" them against my brass weights\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDspoons, forks teapot, salvor\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDeverything higglcdy-pig' gledy.

For all she knew, a gang of dcspenuloes might have sprung \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDut nnd crushed the life out of her ! e- foro ehe'd time to give one \"skirl\" for help. But the best of the play whs to come. 1 was fearfully excited, so mu-'h so that my heart beats were louder than usual, and how I ached with bj-rapathy when her little mites of hands could scarcely lock the door of my ens*, they were trembling so! But she did if, and slipped the key in within the bodice of her diessing-gown. Just a few moments after we could hear the thiefs footsteps letuining. He evidently wivs going to make his e\it by , a small window just behind'the staircase, and piobably planned throwing the , booty out and then making away with ' it. But if ever a man had mistaken hla vocation, he had, foi he hadn't the pluck of a mouse in. him.
