Across the i road from this house there was a s dense forest. There were no other t houses of the same kind for miles, i The only other dwellings that could f be seen were a few scattered negro , cabins at the rear. One of these e joor dwellings stood only a few I yards from the back steps of the s Summer home. It was inhabited by a erood. old-fashioned auntie of slav - ery times, who was called Mammy i, Chloe by Jane and William. William was a very popular young riman, with good character, while his d sister was a dark-haired Southern I beauty, with the finest qualities oi 1 a high born race. i, Usually when Bill went to the club i. or was detained in town during the evening, he arranged that Mammji . Chloe should stay with Jane. One evening at about nine o'clock his lawyer called and asked him whethei it would be possible for him to come to Columbia on some very important business. The lawyer promised that he would detain Bill only two hours, # Jane said that she was not afraid tc stay alone for that short time. She f would not trouble Mammy Chloe" who was probably asleep. So it was decided that Jane " would sit there and read until her brother returned, Jane had been alone only an houi I when she heard steps on the verani j- -e-11 j u.. - 1??j 1,?? a f ( aa iouuweu uy a iuuu rvuuciyiiig. .n.iI ter some mental debating she start, 2d toward the door. Again her heart failed her. Then, regaining her . j courage she walked with firm steps . to the door. She unbarred it, turned the key, and opened it wide. In the half light were four mer. 1 vith their hats in their hands. One who seemed to be their leader, be1 gan, "Miss Summer, I am a devoted friend of your brother. These are " my fellow-travelers. We have with us a corpse, which we were carrying I home; but night overtook us before , we were able to reach our destinaI tion. Your brother said that we might with your permission, leave the body i here until morning, when we ' shall] th return for it and resume our jour- co ney." Although she trembled with fear , as she listened, she consented, allow- ]U - ing them to bring the coffin in and = 1 place it just within the parlor door. 1 The others went on their way. She 1 had said very little, altho she sus. pected much. Going into the next i room, she opened a drawer of the - side board and drew out her broth. er's pistol. She returned to the par lor apd stood oh watch. She had - waited only a few minutes when she , saw the "dead" man raise himself ; slowly and with great caution. She - sprang forward holding the pistol very close to his face and dared him f to move. She looked him straight in 3 the face, and the weapon wavered. i She liked the glint in "his eyes, the ? color of his hair, and the pleasant c smile that came and went. She for5 got that he was her prisoner and then smiled back at him. ^ Sitting upright in the coffin?very much alive?he began his story. He was a student at the University, he E said, and -had come from the North. ; The other men were professional thieves who had meant to steal the f ? valuable old-fashioned silver in her home. He himself had found out their plan by accident and had joined them for the adventure in it. At t last when he heard her name and I remembered having seen her,*he had t come to see that no real harm came ? to her. "By Jove!" he ended, "this . is a queer way, though, to break in. to society, and it doesn't seem a . bit funny now when I remember . your white face. Are you all alone?" She was not at all displeased now, and Mr. Lock became a frequent visitor at her home. Bill grew to like ' him. In due time Jane consented i to marry him. / The thieves' never returned, and the old silver is still in the Summer home. The coffin even is given a prominent place in the family hisfrtTT TTolon I Margaret Swetenburg is confident j i that her brother, Lieutenant Swetli.enburg, will soon be home.
