1 The Corpse. ,
On a very lonely road leading
from Columbia stood a stately, old,
\ Southern mansion, which was owned
r by^ young man, William Summer,
r and his sister, Janie. 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

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

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
