Sna "Mrs. Miller," -she called loudly. She recalled that Grace had so called her neighbor. "Mrs. Miller, what shall we do about it?" and almost as. Cynthia spoke, the lights blazed on. For one long moment she stood white-faced and alone in the glare, then as suddenly was again left in darkness. ler knees failed her now, as she sank back upon the hnmmock. There was no doubt about it. A thief had discovered her, helplessness, and had also located the thick roll of bills In her bag. Stealthily, yet unmistak ably, cane the sound of some one moving up the rough stair. She could distinctly hear the iuflied breathing, tile pises made as if to listen. "Who is there?" she cried, her voice shaking. Silence answelvd. Then, presently, on again caime the shuilling across the boards, nearer, Y irer. If there were only a gli mie e light. tihat she miilght find a way to escape. To wait in the darkness was unbear nile. From the amphitheater camne the song of a hundred singers. What use to enll for help if help were needqld? A leavy body brushed ithe screen door' lit hoet very side. Desperately Cynthia arose and groped along the ralling. At tile front was a pillar, a round. .veranda pillar. If she could fihl this, elisp her nrms aliout it and slide to the groiimd. She weotid try. An insTint sihe stood dangerously sus.

Swif as her own deseont the lights flarod oi qgnin. and she found her self staring wide-eyed and start!ed Into tihe bewilderel face of a man crouelrld upon fil lower step. "By .love!" multteril the man11. "Yoi--you coward !" burst out Cyn thinl. WhVlher it was the suddenness of her dowinward flight or the unexpect edl proxintity of the burglar which ehanged Cyninila's fright to Indigna tion. she could not tell. but she sttiped her white shoe on the ground and fneed tlie shrinking young ian. "You knew I was here alone and un protected." ste accused, "and so you thought-" "Where is Mrs. Mfiller?" the man brusquely interrupted. Cynthia stood speechless at the coolness of the question. It was evi dent that her ruse as to a companion litd deceived him. Perhaps It would be wise to still carry it on. "Beeause," the man continued, quietly. "if Amrs. Miller is inside, I would like to speak to her. She may he able to explain the eccentricities of this religious Assembly; where a man is left suddenly In the middle of a darkened wood, to hit his head against every tree that he passes en ro ute to the home in which he is as signed to be entertained; and where, from out the darkness, a voice mys terlously spenking Mrs. Miller's name, lends hin to this abode. When he congratulates himself upon locating with difliculty Whe front step, a flying fenmiale figure descenas upon hin, in a glare of sudden light, from above." The young man mopped his brow. "I've been over a good bit of the earth," lie said, "Inldin-the jungle but for real excitement this night bents it all." In growing trepidation, Cynthia sankl limply (Iown uponl the step at the intruder's side. One drawled sea tenee lingered in her mind. At Mrs. Millher's house, he had said, he wias "assigned to be entertained." The man's appenrance under sane inspect ion was deeildedly not that of a burglar. Mocking the shocked grav ity of his face, his dark eyes twinkled hmuorouisly. "Whio-ar me you?2" faltered Cynthia. "My name," he replied, "is Raymond Ilnndaill. My mission here to diate upon a present remedy for the ills of the universe in general." Across Cynthia's men'tality flashed a memory of a certain perfectly pre pared speech of Introduction; also, of One gray demure dress sulitablle for the occnsion. "Tihe noted Dr. Randall?" she. gasped. ie leaned back and smiled at her awestru~ick face. "Why, I dlon't kcnow," he remarked. "A few moments ago you addressed nieC as coward-" TPhen Cynthia in quick coumpunction told the story of her evening; creak ingly the screen door opened binltd the two as they sat, and a great bull dlog lounged out upon the veranldal, shiming as he caine antd breathling heavily. "The (log from next door I" dried the girl. "Your burglar," said the man. Far away the ainging ceased ; home ward to other verandas caime the As sembly" throng. Upon tihe lower step, talking low, still sat Cynthia and her compahion. Twice Grace and Mrs. Miller endeav ored to make their presence known. "I am glad you had company," said Grace. "We were wvorried about you when the electrieity failed. Only the hotel and amphitheater are provided with gas.. Cynthia, may I meet your friend?2" Cynthia glanced up absently; the young man's manner as he arose was also preoccupied. "Certainly," answered the girl. "Dr. Randa4l, Mrs. Miller, Miss Bowven." "I am sorry not to have been here to welcome you, Dr. Ilandall," said Mrs. Miiler., "We were not expecting you trntil tomorrow evening." ,Cynthia smiled. "I welcomed him," ahe naid.
