RAYNE.t BE telephone rang on the - oiskly i n Mrs. Howard Bascomb's tl pleasant hcme, and b stepping to it, she received this mes osage from her hus band: ,Hellot ' Is that - you, Lottiet I've concluded to leave -for New Tork this noon. The boy is -t a on the way to the n whouse for my gri. You know what In. P neew for a week or ten days' absence. Get your sister to stay with you for company. Good -bye, dear, s'long. Take care of yourself." Then he rung off, and Mrs. Bascomb went in search of the satce, thm. she packed with a deft hand. She was a youngo woman, sensible, well-balanced, and nothind ever disturbed or annoyed her to the extent of making her fidgety or nervous. Being in robust health, she hardly koew what nerves meant. She was setf-reliant, but domestic, and absorbed m her home life, which com prised her world. And she iever crossed any bridges until she came to them. She knew that her husband had intended going to New York on the following Shay, and did not wonder or ponder over his ciaie of plans. when the messener came for the Iatcnel she sent it carefullt packed, just as she knew her husband wanted it. She added nothing to its usual contents, and subtracted nothing. Yes, stay. She did take out his seven-shooter, every chamber of which wans loaded, ad laid it on the table under the mirror, in thre bace parlor. "Howdy has one revolver with him. That will have to do him this trip. II hke to have one handy in case I s nould need it." She fmiled and smiled again without be-ing a vilain. The idea of peedeng firearms seemed so incongruous and absurd.

T n ee saw tht the ouse was'locked up, sent Kitty to bed ,nd went into her front parlor, which vas lighted and cosy, just as if the mas er of the house were at home. "I must send father's message to How rd," she solihquized, and seating her elf at the pretty little desk which had een one of her wedding presents, she rote a postal card. After giving tho msiness from her father, she added one or herself. When the card was a I Iressed she went to the window and ooked out, wondering why she had not hought to write it earlier in the even ag. .There was a mail box diagonally cross the street on the corner. "I'll Just run across and mail it. I'll ave the door open-it wont take a ioment." Taking a wrap from the hat-tree in e hall, she threw it about her, saw bat no one was passing, and slipped ut. It took her only a moment to drop at card in the box and run back to the .ouse. The door was ajar as she had ft it, no one was on the street; but in at one moment It was past midnight. Mrs. Bascomb as reading a very interesting novel. he was surprised when the clock; struck e half hour, and laid her book down. [ot that she felt sleepy, but she had just etermined that she would sleep down tairs in the new folding-bed in the back arlor. There were portieres between de rooms, but these were drawa back nd hung limp on either side. The "bed" was a large handbome book ase, with bric-a-brac on its top shelf. Irs. Bascomb let it dovn and admired it rom all sides. It took up all the space etween 'the wails, except just room I nough for her to pass to the little table inder the mirror, where H1oward's revol -er lay. She now pushed this further >ack and laid her watc'a and chain-her redding present from her father--her iamond graduation ring, her diamond, agagement ring and her purse, which he took out of the pocket of her dress, a the table in a shining heap. "I wonder if ne marrie- the tall, thin ne, or the short, homely one," she said o herself, and, goinz out into the par or, picked up the book again, and was oon deep in the plot. A noise roused her. She looked at thL olding doors leading into the hall. ['hey were locked, she knew. t Then she' urned her eyes toward the back parlor. "It's the new folding bed getting sed to being open," she thought, con cious of a slight exhilaration in the re ron of her heart. Then she glanced at mirror, in which she saw the full ength figure of a man standing back of he portieres. I have heard it said, or read some-. vhere, that every man is ready to pro ect a woman from every other man ex. ept himself. At that moment Lottie 3ascomb would rather nave seen a tiger tanding ready to devour her. Her next urprise was at his manner of address: "Good eveing, maA-n," and ht, tepped from the portiere and stood be ore her. "You needn't be frightened) aint goin' to hurt you." "What do you waniti" Her voice did iot even tremble. "I want the money your- husband >rought home that he's goin' to take to .ew York to-morrow." "I don't krnow what money you mean. Da my ~ntrLmxnna 's .n& .e Y ork now. He left to-day at noon." She had risen frora her chair and stared forward to reach the revolver. But she could not outwit the disap pointed and enraged burglar. He sprang to intercept her, and struck his foot against the folding-bed, throwing himself across it in his attempt to retain his balance. There was a grina ing, whirring sound and a complete dis ppearance of one of the principals in ihis affair. On that ssme night a belate I citizn urrying home was accosted from the ower window of a house he was passing a the residence portion of the city, "Sir, oh, sir!" He stopped, for it was a woman'a roice, pitched at an alarm key. "Will you please find the policeman > this beat and send him here in stanty?" "Can I be of any assistance?" "No. It's a burglar, and I have him iafe." The policeman arrived, and with him the passer-by she had accosted, whose ervics were not required, however. The policeman went to the telephone and summoned help. Meanwhile he took up i positoa where earlier in the evenin the foldinz-bed had stood. It was now shut up, antd looked merely a ma'ssive >ookcase again. When the patrol wagon arrived, this esk becamne an objec;; of immediate in rest.
