Cynthila silt in1 a1 h1iiimmiitock iupon the
upper balcony of the little cottige, and
swung her heels like it carefree school
girl. For, though school days had long
beenl left behlind, tile invigorating
breeze coming sweet and fresh across
the hIke, the chirping of birds in the
evergreens overhenld broight back,
wit at old sense of Joyous freedoi, Vi
cntiols spent long since iII this Sam1e
great Assembly.
Above, the trees archted close like
the roof of some green Cnthieldral,
while ienenth thet scatterel little

houses,

It was here in the old datys that Cyn
ilihh had suling i the children's choir,
ere no()w thtli she hoped to hear fil'

her hostess, greeted her Jubilantly.
"Such luck !" she exclailetl. "Dr.
Ranytond Itadllall, the speaker, is to
be elitertained at Miller's, next door.
You will have a fine cliance to mect
him."'
Ditlidently, Cynthia glanced over her
shouldr it the red bungalow ol the
left.
"Silly !" her friend mocked her, "the
reverend gentletnan does not arrive
uitil tomorrow, and I belleve you are
treblliing now at the mere thought of
facing him."
"It's not that, exactly," Cynthia de

Grace pointe d out to her the li1ghlting

"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

also located the thick roll of bills
In her bag. Stealthily, yet unmistak

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.
Peunlel upon tIhe narrow outnier ledge.
One highit-heeled while slipper felt its

Swif as her own deseont the lights

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

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

"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

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.
