Poor, dear Baritone! Ho always *aid
that women hadn’t no business to mar

to invest it without a little advice?
And, really, Mr. Hamerslie is $o press-

tliroc years, come next October, and—" |
The last conjunction Was swallowed
up in a deep sigh. Plainly, the citadel ;
which represented the widow Bari
tone’s heart was about to surrender at
discretion.
She sat there in the neatly kept
kitchen, knitting away, in her block
calico gown and blopk-ribboned cop, i
when Mr. Hamerslie came in that af
ternoon. How was she to know that
he had just been closing tip that little
account in love’s ledger with Columbine
Carter? How was she to dream of
Biny’s scornful tears, her indignant re
jection of the man's miserable subter- u
fuges? s' j *

'Blny. "Jfyou bad, you never could

widow; I, for one. will never aland

So Biny had dismissed her kwer. |

was not the sort of parting which he
had pktnred to himeelf. It robbed him

and prepare our surprise party. At five 1
o'clock the final race waa ran; and an
hour later we were hard at v it in the
town, wiring fnU accounts of the day’s
doings. Only the three of us already
mentioned knew of the projected at
tempt and our counter-plan; and we,
convinced that we would be overlooked,
r assumed to the bent of our abilities an
ordinary manner and bearing. Harper
produced aa usual hit oash-box and
sheets, counted and balanced his ac
count, telling the money, which
amounted to about eighty pounds, out
on the counter before him. Finally, he
replaced it in the box, which he handed
to the boss, who placed It in the safe,
closing, but not locking, the door.
Meanwhile I had quietly and unob
served procured a box very similar to
Harper’s, and after partly filling it with
some odd pieces of metal I fastened one
end of a long wire to Its brass handle.
I prepared another similar piece of
wire. Ostensibly for working purposes,
*1 had gathered all the batteries at oar
command underneath the counter, and
when the work was over I-quietly knelt
down and joined them all together ia
series. At the same time 1 fastened
one end of say spy wire to the nega

most towns of any importance in Eng

successful meetings, from a racing-

sufficient to mention Epsom. It was to
a town in the Midlands ordinarily con
