AN 1EXPECTI
j BY I. R. AR!
Something over forty years ago
Gaius Eaton and I became students
of a popular school in the State of
New York, which he had long wished]
to attend, although up to within a
month of our entrance we might, it
seemed, as reasonably have wished for |
seats In Congress. But unexpected
circumstances made it possble for|
my father to send not- only me but
Gaius, whose widowed mother was
father's beloved sister.
In the unfamiliar city we were com
fortably established near the top ot
a large, square-built house standing
on high ground.' Our room overlokertj
a long stretch of the river willen |
?ws past the town, and a wide tract
of open country beyond. This view
across the river was broken by certain ?
tain buildings scattered on . High
ground on our side of the river, and by
a corresponding bluff-like eminence
on the other shore, perhaps a mlle
and a hali away.
We prepared our own meals, and
patronized a convenient little variety,
store, owned and managed by an in-'
qulsltive old gentleman named Mason,
where wc purchased bilkers' goods,
milk, fruits, and so forth.
? His only helper was a young man
of twenty or thereabouts, who had
sleeping rooms on the floor rbove, but
boarded with a private family,-ins
tant relatives, he said,- with whom
he frequently stayed overnight when
taking an evening "off:** .
They were both friendly to us-Mr.
Mason especially so, .after learning
that we had come from his native
_ county. JEEe" .was^Jwell preserved I
^Wslt^y^
deaf, which did! not prevent him
being an attractive, cheery old gentle
man. Of course his infirmity obliged
him to rely much upon his clerk,
George Dow-a bright, wide-awake
young man who had been in his em
ploy upward of two years.
Dow's cordial, pleasant ways at
tracted Gaius, with whom he was
60on on intimate terms. As for my
self, I liked him In a general way, as
one likes all agreeable people, and no
more. Gains, noticing what he chose
to call my "indifference," Inquired
what I had against Dow. I replied,
"I can't think of anything I have
against him."
Still, an indefinable feeling-not ex
actly suspicion of him, but rather a
sense of inability to estimate bim
satisfactorily-was constantly with
me when in his presence.
Months of our school-days passed
uneventfully, nothing varying the mo
notony but a street arrest ora runaway
Yet we frequently heard of the doings
of what was supposed to be an or
ganized gang of local roughs, the
dally lengthening story of whose petty
villainies caused much curbstone dls
cussiou and unsparing criticism of the
police.
These novel experiences did not dis
tract our. attention from study, and
we advanced satisfactorily, although
we sometimes had to burn the mid
night oil In order to keep up with our
classes.
Often on these occasions we ob
served across the river a light-mere
ly a lamp in somebody's window, ap
parently--which continued to shine
brilliantly after thc neighboring lights
were extinguished. This persistence
attracted our attention at the outset,
and after a while we curiously looked
for the light when darkness came.
Sometimes it was missing.
"How many lights can you see over
there In that vicinity?" asked Gaius
one evening.
"Eight." said li counting.
"I counted eight last evening," he
replied, "but a good many times 1 can
make only seven."
"Oh, well," sajd I. "I don't suppose
the people living there are setting up
lamps for us to count."
"No; but most likely they put their
lights, as we and others do, In certain
places every night, and so we ought-"
He left his remark unfinished and
hastily resumed his book, while I be
took myself to Mason's store on my
customary trip for our next day's
bread.
I found Mr. Mason, George Dow and
two women customers In some excite
ment, for the store had lwen robbed
the night before-George's night off.
Mr. Mason's story was Interrupted
and rendered nearly unintelligible by
his nervous additions and corrections.
Apparently, after a lapse of twelve
hours or more since his discovery of
the robbery his agitation had not ab
uted, although be declared the loss of
slight Importance-thirty dollars taken
from the till, and jewelry, cigars, to
bacco and bakers' goods enough to
ranke n total value of one hundred
dollars.
"I don't care for the money." he
repeatedly Insisted. "What makes mc
mad, thongh. is their taking advan
tage of my J ea ines? and coming In
here dnring George's absence-that's
meanness! I'dvgive twice Its value ?o

tion to the lights and a diagram be
had made, Illustrating their relative
positions. '
Kneeling at the window, the sill of
which was very high, he said, "This
straight, horizontal line represents
the level of the window-ledge, and
these little circles at different heights
above the line and scattered along the
paper are the thirteen houses visible*
in the daytime on the other side of the
river. You see some of the circles
contain each a dot Inside; they are
the houses where lights are commonly
?cen evenings.
"I saw only seven lights when l
drew this, and they are so widely
separated I think they can all be lo
cated by daylight; but now I can see
eight lights-the new one is pretty
near those' two farthest down-stream.
If that proves to be the one we have
often seen at midnight, I would like
to know Just where lt ls."
"Probably it is in the room of some
Invalid," said I; "perhaps the house
where we saw* that consumptive
young man the first time we were
across the river. Don't you remem
ber the fellow who tried to sell us
the fancy pigeons ?"
"Yes; and by daylight I can make
out the farmhouse. I should not be
surprised if it were the same place."
. Sticking a pin into the window
sash, he took from the stand a strip
of pastelward, made a pinhole through
one end, and looked through it at the
pin and the distant light
"That's all right," said he, pulling
the stand .under:'the window. Upon

dicularly. Then he peeped through
the pinhole as If it were a gun-sight,
and carefully adjusted it at the right
elevation. Turning to me, he said,
"Look through it."
I did so, and saw that pinhole, angle
and light were exactly on the line.
"Now let it remain there till day
light, and we'll see then what house
we're aiming at," said ho.
"Say, Elbert," called Gaius, early
next morning, "have you been med
dling With this?"
"Why, no, of course not!" I replied,
with n touch of indignation. "What's
the matter?"
"It doesn't point at any house this
morning." he said.
"What does it point nt?" I asked.
"Why, there's nothing in range ex
cept that old pile of rubbish on the
farther bank of the river! There Isn't
much to be seen but part of a roof,
and that seems to l>e flat on the
ground. One thing is certain, any
how; thc light Is not at the house
where we saw the sick man."
I went down-stairs and returned
with a field-glass borrowed of a board
er. It disclosed very little, and so 1
said, "When wc can get the time,
Gay, let's go over there and inspect
the premises; my curiosity is roused
about this business."
"I'll go," Gaius replied. "Let's say
Saturday afternoon! If it does not
rain."
We saw the light ns usual on Thurs
day and Friday evenings, and Satur
day afternoon found us early on the
opposite side of the river, which we
reached In a rowl>oat. With the
sluggish current we mored slowly
toward a point opposite tin rubbish
heap. There we pulled ashore in
shallow water.
The rubbish-heap appeared to be the
ruins of n house, little of which re
mained except the roof, which, upon
the collapse ol the supporting tim
bers, had fallen and split apart. One
half stood on edge on the cellar bot
tom, the other half lodged on the first
and on the wall in such a manner as
to enclose and re-roof about a third
of the cellar.
There was no entrance discoverable,
no holes through which anything ex
cept Impenetrable gloom could be dis
tinguished, and nothing In surround
ings on the outside mass of rubbish
broken boards, rotten straw, sawdust
and so forth-to indicate the presence
of human kind since it became a
ruin.
"I'm bound to look Inside before 1
leave," I said.
"That's right," replied Gaius. "Bul
they say 'there's a better way to get
into a Jug than by cracking it.' Let's
take a look down the bank," he con
tinued, going to the corner of the
foundation and peeping down the
deep slope to the water's edge some
twenty feet below. "Look there! Sec
those chicken bones!" he cried.
Sure enough, there were many
bones on the bank, besides other offal
in the water's edge.
"Somebody boards pretty near here,"
said L "Those things must have been
thrown out of . :e cellar." But we
could not examine on that side, for
the bank broke away abruptly, so
near the foundation that- pnssage
round it wo? Impossible.
Returning, Gaius said, "I nm going
Into the open cellar again to look under
the rtibblsh. Help metaketbls olddoor
around the other side to climb out on."
Stooping, he raised one end of the
floor from the ground, where lt. han
been lying flat. As he raised lt 1
caught sight of a large hole In thc
ground underneath.
"Eureka!" I shouted, and togetner
we threw the door over, so as to ex
pose an entrance through the wall big
enough to admit a man.
Without a thought of meeting any
occupants, we entered immediately.
The little light admitted through the
opening enabled us to discern ti lamp
on a small shelf, and this when light
ed, disclosed a room about ten by
thirty feet In area and a little higher
than our heads. On one side were
several bunks filled with straw, against
the other was a long bench, with
brackets for lamps above.
Upon the bench and ground were
boxes and bags, some j of which we
examined, finding masks, dark
lanterns, and everything else belonging
to burglars' outfits, stolen goods, in
great quantity and variety, including
a .number of boxes of Mr. Mason's
cigars-a private brand readily recog
nized-and numerous specimens of
counterfeit coins and the dies with
which they were made.
We said little until our amazement
had in a measure abated, when 1
broke out with, "What do you think,
Gay?"
"I" think It will show good judg
ment if we move out of this vicinity
before anybody drops In," he said;
and with.his opionin I readily agreed.
Very carefully we replaced every
thing as found, went at once to police
headquarters, related our experiences,
and readily secured the co-operation
of tlie authorities in at plan to capture
the gang that very evening. Tho
chief proposed that if the usual light
was observed, we should present our
selves before him at ll p. m., and
guide a posse to the den.
This arranged, we went home,
stopping at Mason's store by the
way to inform our friends of what
was in the wind. Mr. Mason had
gone to supper, and George was so busy
with customers there was no opportu
nity to tell him of our discoveries, so
on our return to fulfil our . appoint
ment WP called again. This time we
found Mr. Mason, who showed an
excited interest in our story; but
George was absent. It was his night
off. Mr. Mason did not expect his re
turn before the next morning's open
ing hour.
A sergeant and four men crossed
the river under the guidance of
Gains at the hour agreed anon, and
went down its opposite bank to a
designated point, while another
policeman accompanied me in a row
boat on the route taken by Gains and
myself in the afternoon.
At the ruin, dimly distinguished in
the darkness, we eagerly awaited tile
signal announcing the arrival of our
party, lt soon appeared-merely a
m?tchllglit, to which we replied by
another. Then we took n position
opposite the window, a few feet from
the bank, and the men above stealth

rapidly down Into fire cellar.
It was very nearly a complete sur
prise, for three of the scamps were
taken in their bunks. The fourth,
dexterously rinding the officers,
leaped nimbly upon a bench, thence
to the window, and like a shot went
through it feet foremost, down the
bank Into the water. There he stuck
in the mud!
My companion, the policeman,
clapped the handcuffs on bim In the
daikness, collared him and pulled
him ashore. With the remark, "Now
we'll see what we've gol," he opened
his lantern and turned its light on
his mud-bedragged prisoner.
I might have been knocked down
with n feather! It was George Dow!
He did not say a word; neither did
I, and truly, I think I could not.have
spoken bad I tried.
The sudden realization of his du
plicity, and black rascality simply
stunned me, and Gaius was even
more astounded, more deeply shocked
than myself, by the unexpected ex
posure of his friend's villainy.
He said to me later, "Your suspi
cions of George were correct, aftei
all."
"No," I replied, "that would? be
claiming too much. I did not suspect
'him, I simply did not know what to
think of bim. Now I know, but I can
not tell now any better than before,
the reason of my antipathy."
Of the trial aud conviction of the
.captured gang, it is unnecessary to
speak.
The papers and people praised Gaius
and nie highly, and foolishly, we
thought, for we knew that our dis
covery of tlie gang's haunt was due
to "fool luck," ns (Jains tersely stated
it-it was the surprising outcome of
a childish curiosity, and not gained
:by any particular shrewdness oil our
pnrt. But of this we Bald little, ex
cept to Mr. Mason, whose extrava
gant praise we vainly tried to modify.
On the evening of our departure for
home at the end of the school year,
we called at his store to say good
by. As usual at that hour he was
verj* busy, and consequently said
little, but slinking hands with each
and wishing us a pleasant .lourney, he
handed me a sealed envelope, bear
ing the Inscription, "Messrs. Croft
and Eaton-to be read after reaching
your destination."
We refrained from opening it until
we reached home, and then Its con
tents surprised us greatly. This is
what we read:
P., N. T., Nov. 5, 1885.

My Young Friends: At the time my
store was robbed I said I would

which are. operated by a lever at the
end of the grainer. The salt accumu
lates at the bottom, until In the course
of twenty-four hours there will be a
layer from six to eight inches deep.
The salt is lifted from the grainer by
