Aye, ners was lore's own Illy, broken with the
weight
And burden of Its sweetness. In perfect, pallid
state
The golden heart of her was swathed about,
flowerwise, •
With her white body's petal. As the flower dies
Died she, with no more light or warmth to draw
upon;
tieft but a dewless night, a day without the sun.
To her no tender lover’s peace would ever come
From dawn till dusk, nor yet from dusk till
dawn;
To her no peace with pipe of waking birds.
At any lover's sweet remember'd good night
words:
Not even unto her the hidden hope wherefrom
Some subtle strength to other loving maids is
drawn;
Not e'en the love assured, that, sad eyed, bides
and waits
In lands remote, at great extremes of blue sea
gates;
Not any lover's peace, but all a lover's tears
Would be for her, until the pearls of all her
years
Had slipped from off the string of time, and
silently
Had dropped Into the ocean of eternity.
Twas only leit for her to die, as flower die s
Of sweetness InfUiitc; or as the bird that Ik*
With life gone out in song, its love and grief too
great
For aught save one last wailing note for Its dead

THE ROND ROBBERY,
It was a Jolly little farm house. I had
been past the place many times, and
scented with pleasure the honeysuckles
Which grew upon the side—only a few
miles from Chicago.
One would have thought the place be
longed to some old couple who, after hav
ing passed a laborious life, had retired
here for peace and content. Still the
shadow of death had passed over the little
house, and as I rode up to the gate one
morning I caught a glimpse of a pale f. ced
young girl, with her long, disheveled hair
about her neck and shoulders and her eyes
red with weeping, who was looking down
the road with anxious eyes.
1 left the carriage hastily, and a rather
•mart looking young man, who offered to
take charge of the horse, took my place.
The interior of the cottage was in keep
ing with the outer adornments, which had
been so lavishly supplied by nature; but
the blinds were closely drawn, and there
was an air of gloomy depression that was
almost suffocating. The young girl had
opened the door for me, and she drew
back with a graceful bow as I entered,
but, without speaking, pointed the way to
an inner room. She seemed overwhelmed
by some recent grief that deprived her of {
the power of making tn effort of the com
mon courtesies naturally expected of ontf
apparently well bred. But she was re
lieved of her embarrassment by nn elderly
lady, who came fcrWard and welcomed
me as one who had been long and mix- i
iously expected.
A note from the chief of the Chicago
police, introducing me, informed them
that I had been detailed to visit the house,
and that the nature of the cast had been
confided to me. I enjoined secrecy upon
them as to my real character, instructing
them to answer any inquiries by saying
that I was a distant connection of God
frey Holmes, who now lay lifeless under
the roof, as the doctor had said, from the
effects of poison.
I had secretly finished these prelimina
ries when the young man who had taken
charge of my horse strode into the room.
He was Introduced as Charles Saxby, and
was a muscular, rather handsome man,
with piercing gray eyes, and an expression
Of considerable Intelligence. He was such
A person as I would have selected for any
employment requiring a large amount of
endurance and self possession. There was
a certain easy coolness in his manner that
led me to thiuk he hod not been bred In
the country, and I subsequently learned
that he had been a student at law in an
eastern college, and hod come west for
the double purpose of recuperating his
health and pursuing his studies more
cheaply.
The family at the cottage had consisted
of Godfrey Holmes, now deceased, a
widowed sister of his deceased wife, and
his daughter Amelia. Upon the death of
his beloved wife, Mr. Holmes had de
clared his intention of remaining a
widower, and his wife’s sister, a quiet,
tmassum!™ woman, had taken charge of
his housekeeping.
Amelia, the daughter, was now In her
17th year, her figure very elegant and her
appearance graceful. Her face was very
sweet, her eyes dark brown and abund
ant hair of the same color was twined
about her head.
One would have thought the natural
consequence of being thrown almost con
stantly into the society of as handsome a
man as Saxby, she would have lost her
heart to him. But the very opposite to
this was the fact, and he could have left
the place at any moment without regret
upon her part. Her father, however, had
been much engaged by him, and had often
hinted to his housekeeper that he was
•ure he would be quite satisfied with such
« son-in-law.
The entire neighborhood shared in this
good opinion of Saxby. He and Amelia
would make such a splendid match, they
Said. Both were so handsome, so intelli
gent, so similar in their tastes; besides,
were they not admirably matched as to
worldly prospects. Saxby had no wealth,
ft is true; but he came of a family of In
fluence. and with the fortune Mr. Holmes
would do able to give he could rise high
tn the world. Amelia did not need to
marry for money, for although her father
possessed a little landed property, was he
not rich in the best securities of the gov
ernment?
So, indeed, he had been; but upon the
very night of his decease all his stock and
bonds, gold and mortgages and his pri
vate papers had disapjienred, and no one
Could tell whither they had flown.
Here, then, were the two terrible cir
cumstances of robbery and suspected mur
der, combining to bring utter desolation
And ruin to the family, so peaceful but a
few brief hours before. It is little won
der that the grief stricken girl bad stood
pale and motionless in my presence when
Abe knew the occasion of my coming.
About an hour after my arrival a car
riage was driven ap to the farm house,
And two portly gentlemen in black coats
Alighted and came Into the cottage. They
Carried two small cases with them which
brought disagreeable remembrances to
me, for I knew they contained the glitter
ing trepanning knives and scalpels which
had been displayed before my gaze on
numerous painful occasions. Soon after
ward the coroner arrived, accompanied by
A number of the neighbors, from whom he
proceeded to impanel a jury.
While her aunt was busy receiving
these individuals, 1 had an opportunity
for a short interview with Amelia, and I
learned from her at that time much that
was useful in my subseqaent investiga
tions.
Tbs post mortem examination ww at
concluded, and. somewhat to. my
YOL. XIV. NO 3.
surprise, the surgeons declared that the
opinion cf the old gentleman’s physician,
that death had resulted from poisoning,
was Incorrect. Death hail supervened
from sudden congestion of the heart,
there was not the slightest trace of foul
play, and the necessary certificate for in
terment was granted. When I subse
quently learned that Mr. Holmes had sud
denly fallen dead, and that his doctor had
not reached him until long after the
breath had left the body, I did not think
this conclusion so strange. It relieved me
from a disagreeable weight; for cases of
poisoning are always accompanied by dis
tressful circumstances; and I now had
only to inquire into the disappearance of
the old gentleman’s box of valuables.
The loss of these would leave Amelia and
the old lady in poverty, for the latter waa
entirely dependent upon her brother-in-
law, who had uo living relatives save
these two.
The deceased had placed no faith In the
banks, and had always kept the small
steel bound box In his sleeping room. He
had shown tht contents to his daughter
and her aunt upon various occasions, and
when they had remonstrated with him
about keeping so much value In so in
secure a place, the old man had smiled at
their fears. He had depended largely for
the safety of the box upon the fact that
all itersons, save those Immediately con
nected with him, were ignorant of his
having these treasures.
Several persons had been about the
house on the night of his decease, and the
larger number had been more or less in
the bedroom. Amelia, young Saxby and
several others were mentioned by the old
lady in particular; hut she declared that
she would suspect herself or the other
memlxTs of the household as soon as one
of the neighbors.
They were entirely Ignorant of the ex
istence of the box, and this might be de
pended upon, if their honesty were to lie
set aside. Besides, It seemed impossible
that anything could have been removed
from the house without detection on that
night of sorrow. There was not an nour
that some one was not about, and either
Amelia or her aunt had remained in the
bedroom continually. Still the box was
gone, and it must have had some outside
means of locomotion.
As might have been expected, I amost
instantly pitched upon Saxby as the thief.
I felt convinced of it, although there was
nothing suspicious in the young man’s
manner. The difficulty before mo was to
reach the truth in such a manner that no
point of refutation would be left. I must
not only show him to be the guilty party,
but also recover the stolen property, the
larger portion of which would be readily
negotiable, and could be disposed of with
Hale risk of detection.
I was asked to remain for lunch, and
requiring some time for thought,! accepted
the invitation. Soon the elder lady, Saxby
and myself were seated at the table,
Amelia being too indisposed to Join us,
and the most rigid silence prevailed for
some time. I was employed in secretly
watching Saxby, who, I soon discovered,
enjoyed the entire confidence of our kind
hearted hostess. She had already ac
quainted him with the secret of who I was,
and the occasion of my presence at the
cottage.
When the meal was over and the old
lady had gone to look after her niece’s
comfort, Saxby entered into a lengthy
conversation with me. Ho talked well,
but was much too ready in his suggestions
as to the missing securities, and the longer
I remained with him the stronger became
my prejudice against him. After much
agitation I decided that it was only neces
sary to give the suspect “rope enough and
he would hang himself." I must be on
hand, however, to see that he did not sUp
bis head from the noose. I conceived a
plan and began to act upon it at once. I
assumed a confidential manner, and in
formed the young man that 1 had thought
| of some circumstances relating to the miss
ing bonds, in which I thought he could
assist me.
“U yon will go Into the city with me,”
I continued, “I will tell yon more."
Saxby consented to this proceeding with
out the least show of reluctance, and we
set out together. While upon the way I
feigned a story to amuse him, and hinted,
in a distant way, that 1 was inclined to
think that Mr. Holmes’ sister-in-law knew
more of the missing valuables than any
other person. I concluded by requesting
him to watch the old lady’s movements.
To do Saxby justice, he defended the
good woman warmly and grew quite in
dignant at my “venomous charge," which
I excused by telling him that it was neces
sary to take every precaution. When we
reached Chicago I took the young man to
the central police office and prepared to
carry out the real motive for my action.
While I caused Saxby to be detained in
conversation by a brother officer, a photog
rapher with his camera placed behind a
screen for the occasion skillfully pictured
the man’s features. Then I dismissed
him, but was careful to keep him in view
until he left the city. Before another day
had rolled around a photograph of the
young man was in the office of nearly
every broker in the city.
Time passed, and the scheme boro no
fruit; Mr. Holmes had been in his grave
nearly a month, and his daughter’s for
tune was still undiscovered. I had been
playing a waiting game heretofore; but
now 1 decided to commence a decided
action. I had not lost sight of Saxby
during this interval, for a skillful shadow
had kept his movements continually un
der Inspection; hut he had remained
quietly at the farm and it bad come to
nothing. But one day the shadow came
to me In person—Saxby was in town. He
only made a few pnrehases and returned
at nightfall. Evidently if Saxby was the
thief lie was upon his guard.
It occurred to me to take advantage of
his absence to visit the cottage. Both
ladies received me very cordially and had
a long story to tell of their pecuniary em
barrassments. Their little home could
not readily be coverted into cash for any
thing like itfi value, and, if it could, the
idea of parting with it was unbearable.
Saxby, the elder lady told me, during
a short absence of her neice from
the room, had lately received a re
mittance from his relatives, and
they depended upon him for the present
But the old lady told me, with a sad
shake of the head, that the young man
had a manner quite foreign to what she
had hitherto known of him. He had pro
posed marriage to Amelia, stating to her
Hint he was in daily expectation of a sum
of money from his friends, which would
place him In a condition to provide for her
aunt as well as herself of a pleasant home.
Amelia had rejected his jffer, however,
and Saxbv’s usual kindliness had not been
proof against the rebuff. It was plain
from the old lady’s manner of telling the
story that she did not exactly coincide
with Amelia In her action; but she waa
much troubled at the difflcultiea before
them.
"If Miss Holmes would consent to fol
low my directions," said I, “there Is no
doubt, you may both bo relieved from your
embarrassments-’’
DARLINGTON, S. 0.. THURSDAY. JANUARY 19,1888.
WHOLE NO 679.
"In what manner*" asked the young
lady, who re-entered at that juncture.
“By the recovery of the lost treasures.
It is merely an experiment; but its success
would place you and your aunt above
want for the future.”
When I saw that their curiosity waa
aroused I communicated my plan. It waa
for Amelia to favor Saxby’s suit for the
time, and make it a condition that, before
her final consent to the marriage waa
given, her aunt should be provided for by
a moderate settlement. It waa very evi
dent that the ladies did not understand
me, and I was exceedingly cautious in en
lightening them. Amelia began by de
clining my advice; but after a long inter
view and a promise on my part that no
harm should come from the arrangement,
she consented.
I returned to town quite jubilant, think
ing that my success was as good as as
sured. 1 left the inmates at the cottage
considerably mystified, for 1 had accused
no one of the robbery, and they could not
discern in what direction my scheme
tended.
Not many days had passed when Saxby
came again to town. The shadow saw
him safely seated In the reading room of
one of the hotels and came to warn me In
haste. We concluded that the young man
had come on business this time, for it was
early in the day, and he seemed more than
usually thoughtful. I donned a disguise
through which I thought Saxby would be
unable to identify me if he should chance
to notice my proximity, and was soon in
front of the hotel. My ally had Informed
me that Saxby had nlreadyibeen into the
street where the principal brokers’ offices
were located. He had arrived too early,
however, for his purpose, and had re
turned to the hotel to wait uniil business
opened. So I concluded, and when I saw
him upon the street again, pausing occa
sionally to glance into the windows where
the signs told that stocks and bonds were
bought and sold, I was in no way sur
prised, and prepared to swoop down upon
him at the proper moment. At last he
seemed to find a place to his fancy, and
entered hastily, casting over his shoulder
as he did so that peculiar glanco vhich
denotes the uneasy-conscience.
1 was upon the opposite side of the
street but could watch his motions. I
saw him, after exchanging a few words
with the broker, draw a package from his
jacket from which he made a selection.
He entered into negotiations with the
broker and I soon saw the latter paying
over quite a sum of money. This Saxby
placed in his pocket and turned around
just as 1 stepped upon the sidewalk.
His eyes flashed over me in an instant,
and I knew that I had been recognized
despite my disguise. What a fund of
cool nerve that young man must have
had! He surmised in an instant the real
state of affairs, and rushed out of the
office. I seized his arm before he had
fairly reached the sidewalk, and, finding
that escape was impossible, he very wisely
succumbed. He returned with me to the
broker’s cilice and redeemed the securities
he had negotiated. Then he was taken
to the police station,
“That $5,000 you negotiated, what
were you going to do with it?” I inquired.
Saxby’s lip curled bitterly
“That was for Amelia’s aunt In case I
had married the young lady,” he an
swered. “f believe I’ve been played for a
sucker; a more unprincipled man would
have made a clean job of it.”
I had to admit the force of this remark.
As the rascal had been apprehended
with the evidence of his guilt upon him he
saw the futility of attempting a defense.
He accordingly confessed that, as he had
been alone in Mr. Holmes’ room upon the
night of his decease, the idea had occur
red to him of secreting the box of valu
ables, the secret of which the old gentle
man had confided to him, and use them
as a means of compelling AmeUa to marry*
him, in the event of his faiUug to gain bet
love. Ho had watched his opportunity,
and, when all was quiet, had removed the
box to a field, where he had buried it in
the earth. The statement proved correct,
and the box was found with its contents
intact, save the papers I had found upon
Saxby.
The latter pleaded guilty to the offense
charged, and in consideration of the fact
that the property had not suffered dimi
nution, and had been recovered through
his confession, a much lighter sentence
was imposed upon him than otherwise he
would have received.
'The ladies at the cottage were profuse
iu their thanks to me, and I found my re
ward in a check for a handsome sum; be
sides the reflection that peace and plenty
had been restored to deserving people
through my instrumentality.—Joe Haw

Winter Sport in Switserlaad.
There is plenty to do In Switzerland
during the winter. The skating is excel
lent, for nearly all the lakes have on their
shores inland “broads,” or long, shallow
overflows, divided from the more treach
erous deeper water by low banks, on
which the ice forms quickly, smoothly
and safely, affording long, exhilarating
runs. Earlier in the season there is shoot
ing-free untrammeled sport, fettered by
no restrictions save the formality of a
gun license at a ridiculously low cost.
Game certainly is not very abundant. It
is nowhere preserved, the profession of
keeper is unknown, and the massacre
of battues and driving unheard of;
but there is the long, bracing walk through
the clear air, and the ever changlug, ever
beautiful scenery; the rests, where magni
ficent views are obtained; the stopping at
Uttle rustic inns for the simple refresh
ment of bread and cheese, washed down
by the white wine of the country and the
less bucolic kirschwasser, and then the
capture of some wild bird or boast that
has led you a brisk, long, but not exhaust
ing chase through wood and valley.—“M.

and he had to spend most of his time
thinking up contradictory arguments.
