The same afternoon, going to my room, I was about to open the blinds when 1 saw through the slat * a pretty girl kiss her hand to some one in the house adjoining my domicile. She at once disappeared, but it was evident that a flirtation, perhaps one til at liad developed Into an affair of marriage notices in my morning paper, I saw that Miss Emma A. of 73 Kim street had been married. I never learned what had occurred flie night of the "robbery," but I formed this theory: In trying to get out on to Elm street the couple, or, at least, the lovers, had been detected, supposed to be burglars and shot at The police entered, but were told there had j been an attempted robbery. UJU 1IU?II I, U as ill pil'Jpll'SN I After this 1 saw many a signal in t tlie window opposite which I would j probably not hu\e recognized as sin li j had 1 not seen the throwing of the { kiss. My next door neighbor, of course, ( 1 could not see, but I had notice.1 a ( good looking young man going and coin- ^ ing, and 1 presumed that he was !lie fortunate possessor of the young lady's favor. I was one afternoon sitting at my window, with the blinds closed, when j through a crack between the slais 1 saw n pantomime lietween the lovers. j The girl looked down Into her hack yard and shook her head. After she ^ had left her window I looked down t Into his back yard myself. It whs inclosed in a high brick wall topped j with broken glass. I was not long In ^ deciphering the pantomime. The eirl ( had put n veto on her lover's under- j taking to effect an entrance to tier premises over the wall. About a week after this 1 saw a ne- t gro bring a barrel into the back yard through a rear huseinent door. lie ^ set It down very carefully and turned to go away. lie hud taken but a few j steps when he turned, went back to the barrel and busied himself examining tlie head, which 1 could sec was not fastened in the usual way. While ^ lie was doing this ids lips uio\cd. Moreover, I saw something passed t from the barrel to his hand. Present- t ly he went away again and this time f disappeared through the basement t door. I was reading u love story without rj words, or, rather, was seeing one en- c acted, not on the stage, but In real life. ^ It struck mo that something would occur In the premises on the other side ;1 of the wall. Should 1 be mean enough (to spy with a view to satisfying my j curiosity? Would It be mean to enjoy what I could of a drama in real life? The barrel was deposited shortly before my dinner hour, which was 0 o'clock. After dinner bad fnllejft. Without turning (uxy^iiihts 1 took a seat at the window". The space between my home and tlie houses in the rear of It was dimly visible from the lights of the houses shining upon it. I could barely discern the barrel standing where it had been placed. Not caring to reveal myself by lighting my room, I concluded to while I away the time In tlie darkness by | smoking. 1 liad consumed half a dozen cigarettes and was thinking that If j there was any one in the barrel lie ' must, be pretty well cramped when I something rose out of Its top end. | There was a pause; then something | , j larger followed. Curiosity sharpened j j : my eyes. and I sow n bulk that looked , 1 like n man's figure get out of t lie barrel, rake It up and proceed with it to a cornor in the wall, where he was hidden from 1110. I fancied lie was using the barrel for concealment from the opposite* direction. "That's the last of him for me." 1 remarked, "till the lights are put out." , Nevertheless 1 was too interested to leave my post. I smoked till I fell asleep. When I awoke It was 11 o'clock, and there was but one light In the house visible to me, and that was In the room of the heroine of my story. ' As I looked it was tunu.l off. I was now thoroughly awake and beI lieved that i had no great time to wait I to see something more. 1 was right. | Not long after the last, light was turned j off I saw the space occupied by the j basement door of the house I was watching grow darker, indicating that 1 the door was being opened. Then something stood In the opening. A dark spot flitted from the wall to the door, entered and the door closed. 1 regretted that the elopement?for such I believed it to Ik??could not have boon effected over the rear wall, | where I could have seen it. They would I go out the front basement door. I went to bed and had just fallen | asleep when I heard the crack of a . pistol. Kitting, I looked through the ! window at the ImiiM. of my story. Tito j basement and the two upper floors were j lighted. I saw figures passing before I the windows, but beard nothing. Aft- ! ei* awhile the lights began to he turned j oif. and in time all was again dark. The next morning I saw in my news- j paper an account of an attempted robbery of premises 7" lOlui street. Tin? ! police were culled in, but the robber ! had escaped?nobody hurt, nothing lost. Kim was the street back of my home. After breakfast I walked around the block to note the number of the house.
