I...,.,,....,.. t r t "T'CT' HEN EVER I get a \ A / uew Job that seems Y Y a l?U mine," observed Selby. "I immediately begin to look around for tbe drawbacks" "Kicking Bill, as usual," remarked bit friend Egglesion. "By George, I believe you'd kick in heaven because your wings were like a swan's Instead of a peacock's. What In tbe world have you got to grumble about Mvf *" Tft.l. 1..-A lit.. >vt. H 1.4 OuIK? at* juh uac iuis, rryuru ociuj. "You see. I have some very large collections to make every Saturday night, which I have to keep in the bouse until Monday. I don't like the responsibility. It's wearing on my nerves. I haven't a peaceful moment while the money's In the house, and scarcely get wink of sleep. There isn't a place that I can pnt it and feel that it's secure." "Well," suggested Eggleston, "my advice is, first to take a nerve tonic, and then to buy a safe." "That's what I'll have to do." assented the other, "boy a safe. The expense is somewhat heavy, bat I can't (ttnd thp strain nnv looser. Look here. Eggleston, suppose you meet me tomorrow noon at Devron's and help me to aelect one." "Glad to do It, old man." answered Sggleaton, "but Til charge you a fee sot only for my professional knowledge of strong-boxes, but also for the advice I have given you to-night." The next day the two met at Devron's. It was evident that the epithet of "Kicking Bill" which his friends had long ago bestowed upon 8elby was not a slander. According to him there was not a suitable safe in tbe whole establishment. One was too large, another too small, a third not. strong enough, a fourth had too easy a combination. After a couple of hour*' examination of the whole stock, and when the weary salesman, having vainly extolled tbe merits of his wares with a all hla trader's eloquence, at length W despaired of making a sale, Eggleston Mine to tbe rescue. "Come, now, flelby. this Is all nonsense. Here's one that fills tbe bill." Selby protested; but Eggleston Insisted, and In tbe end carried his point. Tbe safe was installed in tbe library. Which adjoined Seiby's bedroom. Like S child with a new toy. he spent the first few hours after ita arrival playing with the combination until he could almost work It with bis eyes shut. Tbe first Saturday after bis purchase he brought home a fat wad of greenbacks, which he carefully deposited in tbe inner compartment of tbe safe, locked the door, put the key in bis pocket, closed tbe outer door and twisted the combination back and forth for tall five minutes; tben opened it again in make sure be bad locked tbe inner compartment and repeated tbe whole process. He wait to bed that night with tbe key to tbo inner door tied to bia wrist. Nevertheless, sleep was as difficult to Induce as ever. If tbe floor in tbe ball creaked be Imagined that some one waa stealing into tbe library, and a thorough investigation bad to be made. Bat physical and mental exhaustion finally won the upper hand. When he awoke the next morning his first act was to feel for the key. It had not been removed from his wrist Next be hastened Into the library. No dynamiters had been at work on the safe. Which stood as If guxlng at him In silent disdain at his anxiety. He quickly opened the outir door. and. with trembling fingers, inserted the key into the lock of ttr- Inner compartment. A twist, a poll and its door was open. Bis heart leaped violently to his throat, then dropped exhausted and seemed to eeaae its beatinjt altogether. Only gaping, mocking, hopeless, awful emptiness met his searching eyes. Not the slightest vestljre of the treasure remained. But who bad extracted It and how? Be reported the matter to the police. [ and detectives were sent to the house. As Is their wont. th??y immediately sus; peeted the servants. Impossible! They i had been in the family for years. [ and even If they were dishonest, bow could they have gotten lmo the safe. 1 especially ss the key bad never left his possession for a single Instant, and the dealer had assured him that there were no duplicates. What?but no. It conld not be! Yet Eggleston had Insisted rather determinedly upon bis taking that particular i safe. No. be would not believe It of ft kla friend. # Still, such breaches of f friendship were not unheard of. Could f lit be that Eggleston and tbe clerk were in collusion. and that Eggleston had ob\ talned a duplicate key? But bow couIJ be have cot ten into tbe house? Perhaps be had bribed one of tbe servants. Although he doubted him. nevertheless these suspicious made Selby very uncomfortable. However, be did uot communicate them to the detectives, who were utterly at a loss for a clew. Another Saturday arrived without any hopeful developments. ? | After much hesitation Selby again placed bis collections in tbe safe, and personally examined every door and ? U-a V?? WIOUOW wiun? ivuuu^, nvi wuuui with these precautions he arose at various interval* daring the night and explained the contents of his treasure box. All was well. - In the small hoars f the morning be fell into a deep sleep, from which be was awakened some time after daybreak by a knock at the 4oor. It was oat of the servants. As I [be was never aroused from bis slumbers on Sunday morning, be surmised that something was wrong. In response to his inquiring glance the maid stated that between 3 and 4 o'clock she bad heard footsteps descending tbo attic staircase, that she bad remained awake and listened attentively, but heard nothing mun>. and that she bad only at that moment dared to venture out of her room. Selby's first thought was of tbe safe. Rushing into tbe library, be hastily opened l'a two doors. Again it was empty! Next be climbed to the attic stairs. He found no trace of tbe thief up there. Tl:e windows were not only all nailed shut, but none of the dust-covered cob webs wuicq sealed tnetu oau noen ui?turbed. The scuttle to the roof likewise was fastened on the inside. A search through the rest of the house revealed nobody in hiding, nor was there ! nny visible means of exit, all the doors and windows being locked from within. The servant who had awakened Selby was pat through a rigid examination by the police, who were of the opinion that she was implicated in the theft and bad concocted her story to divert suspicion from herself; but she was either an expert twister of the truth or innocent, for the ferrets of crime, with all their skillful questioning and cross-questioning, could tind no flaws iu her testimony. Saturday came round again, and the detective In charge of the case had made no progress*. Although it was not probable that a third robbery wnnld be committed, still be was going to try the only method remaining to solve tbe mystery?namely, conceal himself in the library that night. Selby alone was apprised of bis intention and admitted him to tbe bouse after tbe servants had retired. When they bad both made sure that the contents of tbe safe were thus far intact, Sol by locked the iron doors and went to bis room. But be was 111 at ease. His nerves, unstrung by the worry of the past two weeks, excited his imagination to the wildest varagles. He became distrustful even of tbe detective. What If be should be an accomplice! Tbe corruption of the police force was notorious. Might not this man be one of the most corrupt? Reason dispelled these fears in part, but It was several hours before sleep visited him. 8uddenly he was roughly brought back to consciousness by a shake from a powerful arm. He struggled frantically to free himself. "Calin yourswr," saia a tout, wuu-u be instantly recognized as that of tbe detective. "What's tbe matter? Everything's all right." ' Everything all right! How happened It then that the detective was in bits room, and bow bad an entrance been effected, for he was sure be bad locked tbe door before retiring. How?but bis thoughts abruptly changed tbeir direction. His wandering eyes bad gradually regained tbe power of seeing concrete things, and be all at once realized that be was not in bis room. But where was he? Before blm stood the detective holding a flickering candle. "Are you awake now, sir?" asked tbe latter. "Yes." answered Selby. "Look down at your feet, then." Selby did as bidden. A loose l>oard bad been removed from tbe flooring, and in tbe bole tbus uncovered were three wads of greenbacks. Memories of childhood came back to him. How often when a small boy had he hidden bi3 youthful valuables beneath that very board, but be bad long since forgotten its existence. In an Instant^be comprehended the situation. It was an odd case of somnambulism. His evervigilant distrust bad stolen a march on his sleeping consciousness.?New York Newa. Tralllat the Grows*.

Gray flannel waists are In demana and are preferable, in the eyes of tasteful women, to some of the brilliant blouses which occur In kaleidoscopic profusion of color on the bargain counters. Gray is not always becoming: It is out of the question for a sallow complexion, but where It can be worn it seems the ideal tint for displaying a rose and white or "magnolia" complexion. The Quakeress coquettes discovered this ages ago. and pretty ones nowadays are unwilling to lay aside dove-gray and drab for a Hess harmonious background for their carnation cheeks.
