lire old linly in poverty, for tin: hitler xva.-
i nliVcly th-pendent upon her b.-otlier-iii-law,
xvho had ii'j living relatives save
these two.
The deceased had placed no faith in the
b.'inhs, and laid always kept the Miiall
I ;t eel bound box in his leepin room, lie
had shown thi coat cuts to Ids daughter
and her aunt upon various occasions, and
w !. n they had remonstrated with hiui
about keeping s;o much value in so in
.. 1 ire a place, the old man hiid f-miled at
: ir ir fe;irs. I !; had depended largely for
II. e iiafety t.f the box upon the fact that
all persons, save those immediately con
nected wilh him, were iynoraut of his
having tiie.se treasures.
Several persons had been about the
house on the nipht of his decrease, atld the
larger number laid been more or less m
the bedroom. Amelia, youiiLC Saxby and
several others were mentioned by the old
lady in particular; but she declared that
(die would suspect herself or the other
members of the household as soon as one
of the neighbors.
They were entirely ignorant of the ex
istence of the box, and this luisht be de
pended upon, if their honesty were to bo
set aside. IJesides, it seemed impossible
t hilt anything could have been removed
from the house without detect ion on that
niht 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
pone, and it must have had some outside
means of locomotion.
As ntiht have been expected, I amost
inslrmtly pitched upon Saxby as the thief.
I felt convinced of it, although there was
1111! Kill.; suspicious in the younjt man's
manner. The dilliculty before 1:10 was to
reach the truth iu btieh a manner that no
point of. refutation would bt; left. I must
not only show him to bo the puilty party,
but al.Kj recover the stolen property, the
larger jiortion of which would be readily
lsej-rut table, am! could be disposed of with
little risk of detection.
I xvas asked to remain for lunch, and
reqiTiriii' some t ime for thonht,I accepted
the iiivi'.ation. Soon the elder lady, Saxby
and myself were seated at the table,
Amelia being too indisposed to join lis,
and the most rigid silence prevailed for
Mime time. I was employed in secret ly
v.-.iichiiig Saxby, who, I soon discovered,
enjayed the entire confidence of our kind
hearted ho.aess. She had already ae
tT.iamt.'d him with the secret of xvho I was,
:;':! the occasion of my presence at the
1 1. 1 '- -.re.
Wheti iho meal was over and the old
lady had got it to loak after her niece's
comfort, Saxby entcitid into a lengthy
r'-aversatiou with me. lie talked jvell,
but waj much too ready in his .sugge.sthns
c. i:- the missing securities, and the longer
I re::i5;netl xvith him the stronger became
jnv Tjre '.''? against hitn. After much
agitation .'ieiad;-d that it was only neces
sary to cive iliO taisp t "rope enough and
he would hang hirnself.', 1 must be on
hand, ho-.vever, to see that he did not flip
his head from the uoose. I conceived a
plan an.l began to act nioii it at once. I
i-.:-su:ned a 'confidential manuer, and in
f. n-med the joung man that I had thought
rf some circumstances relating to the miss
iug bonds, in which I thought ho could
assist me.
"If vou vlj go into the city with me,"
I contfnued, "I Will tell you more."
Saxby consented tohi:. proceeding witli
out t he least show of reltii -tant. and we
set oat together. While upon the way 1
feigned a .story to amuse him, and hinted,
in a distant "way, that I was inclined to
think that Mr. Holmes' sister-in-law knew
more or the missing valuables than any
other person. I concluded by requesting
him to watch ihe.d Judy's movements.
To do Sp.xby jtistk-fc. hfc xJt-fended the
go-d woman warmly and grew ounc in
t'.ignant at my "venomous charge," which
I excused by telling him that it was neces
sary to lake every precaution. When we
re.'.? hed Chicago I took the young man to
the centra police office and prepared to
carry oni.tti ' 1 motive for my action.
V.'iif'e I caused Saxby to be detained in
ci):;ers:itio!i by a brotnex .officer, 0 photog
rapher with his camera placet?. b6Lu;d a
: r ieen for the occasion skillfully pictured
the man's features. Then I dismissed
hhn. but was careful to keep him in view
until he left the city. Before another day
had rolled around a photograph of the
y::r.:g man xvas in the ofSee of nearly
every broker in the city.
Time pa.-sf-d, and the scheme bore no
fruit; Mr. Holmes Lad been in his grave
nearly a month, and his iiiughtr's for
tune was still undiscovered. I had bteu
playing a waiting game heretofore; but
now I decided to commence a decided
a-tuiii. I had not lost sight of Saxby
during this interval, for a skillful shadow
had kept his movements continually un
der inspection; but la; had remained
qaietly at the farm and it had oomo to
na:hing. But one day the shadow came
to me in person Saxby was in toxvn. He
oniy made a few purchases and returned
at nightfall. Evidently if Saxby was the
thief he was upon his guard.
J t occurred to me to take advantage of
his absence to visit the cottage. Both
kulies veceix-cd me very cordially and had
a leng story to tell of their pecuniary em
barrassments. Their little homo could
not readily be coverted into cash for any
thing like jts value, and. if it could, the
idea of parting with it xvas unbearable.
Saxby, the elder lady ioid jn? during
a short absence of her neice fiom
the room, had lately received a re
mittance from his relatix-es, and
ti.ey depended upon him for the present.
Bat the oid 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. lie had pro
posed marriage to Amelia, stating to her
that he was in daily expectation of a sum
i f money from his friends, -which would
place hiili in a condition to provide for her
aunt as w ell 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 was
much troubled at the difficulties before
them.
"If Miss Holmes would consent to follow-
my directions," said I, "there i3 no
Ooubt you may both be relieved from your
fctubarrassmcats. '
In what manner?" afchc 1 tho vh'.tj'J
Ltdy, w ho re-entered at that j:::a f.;:v.
"By the recovery of the lost a .r -.
It is inertly an experiment ; bntitssu c. 1
would placti you and your aunt above
want for the tuture."
When I miv tliat their curl i.-iiy was
aroused 1 coiiiinuiiit-iited my plait. II. xvas
for Amelia to favor Snxby's suit foe-the
time, and make it a cwnuiliou that, before
her linal consent to the marriage way
given, her aunt should be proxid. il for by
a moderate settlement. It. was xery evi
dent thai the ladies did not mmI-m--laud
me, and I xxas execedm ;ly cautious in en
lightening tht-iii. A..ieliii bej.'au by de
clining my advice; but afti r a lon-r inter
view and ii promise 011 my part that no
harm should ome from tin? arrangement,
she consented.
I returned In town quite jubilant, think
ing that, flay sui-ci-ss xvas as good as as
sured. I left tin inmates at. 1 h" col t :.u'o
considerably iny.-t ilied, for 1 had accused
no one of the roh-hi-ry, and they could not
discern in what direction my scheme
tended.
Not ninny days had passed when Saxby
i-iiuie again to town. The shadow saw
hh:i safely seated In the reading room of
t;r-.e of the hotels ami came to warn lae in
haste. Wil concluded tii.it 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 1 thought Saxby would be
unable to identify me if he should chance,
to notice my proximity, and xvas soon in
front of the hotel. My ally had informed
me that Saxby had already been into the
lit reel where the principal brokers' ofiiees
xx ere located. He had arrived too early,
however, for his purpose, and had re
turned to the hotel to wait until business
opened. So i concluded, and xvhen J saw
him upon the strict again, pausing occa
sionally to glance into the windows whore
the signs told that stocks and bonds were
bought and sold, I was in no xvay sur
prised, and prepared to swoop down upon,
him at the proper moment. At last he
seemed to find a place I t his fancy, and
entered hastily, casting over his shoulder
as ho did so that peculiar .glancv vkich
denotes the uneasy conscience.
I xvas upon tho opposite side of the
street but could watch his motions. 1
saw him, after exchanging a few words
xvith the broker, draw a package from Ins
jacket from which he made a selection,
lie entered into negotiations xvith the
broker and I soon saw the hitler paying
over quite a sum of money. This Saxby
placed iu his pocket and turned around
jur.t as I stepped upon the sidewalk.
His eyes flashed over me in an instant,
ami 1 knew that 1 had been recognized
despite my disguise. What a fund of
cool nerve that young man mu;t have
had I He surmised in an instant the real
stale of affairs, and rushed out of the
ofnee. I sei.ed his arm befora he had
fairly reached the sidewalk, and, linding
that Occapj xvas impossible, he very wisely
saccutnhed. He returned xvit'.i me to the
broker's ofiico and redeemed the secmit ies
he had negotiated. Then he xx'as taken
to the police station,
"That 0.000 y..u negotiated, what,
were you gohig t o do xvith it:-" I inquired.
Saxby'.s lip curled bit tori v
"That xvas for Amelia's aunt in ease J
had married the young lady." ho an
swered. "I'bcliex-e 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 t'ni had bee-", apprehended
with the evidence of his ;;uiit;ip 0:1 lunt ho
saw the futility of attempting it defense.
He accordingly confessed that, as he had
been alone in Mr. Holmes' iv.oni upon the
night of his decease, the idea had occur
red to him of secreting the-box of valu
ables, the scen t of xvhir.h the ..M gep.t Io

love. lie hud watched Jii-3 opportunity,
and, when t-.!l xvas qr.i.-t, had e.-iaoved tin,
box to a field, where he had buried it ia
the earth. The statement proved correct,
and the box xvas found xx'ith its conic;:'.-;
intact, sax-e the paoi-rs I had found -upon
Saxby.
Tho latter pleaded guilty to the o'lonse

Game certainly is not very abundant. It
Is nowhere preferred, the profession of

of battues and driving unheard of;
but there is the long, bracing walk through
the clear air, and the ever changing, ever
beautiful scenery: the rests, whore magni

An American in Switzerland.
He had just got back from Burope. He
says he didn't have a x ery pleasant time.
Indeed, he declared that Liuropo is a quite
overrated country and not a patch on Cal
ifornia. The party xvho xvent xvith him
wore of a different opinio;! a'.l the time,
anil ho had to spend most of Ids time
thinking up contradictory arguuu-ms.
Everything they saw xvas lovely, grandjy
.beaatiful. superb, immense. They were
in Switzerland.
"Just look r.t that glacier: Isn't it
grand! Isn't it inngnlfieeiii:"
"Oh, I don't knoxx-. That glacier now
well, that glacier hasn't got ice enough
in it to keep Noxv York goingforaxvook."'
Then it xxas at Interlachen.
"What a perfectly lovely spot ! What
a charming toxvn! Isn't it perfectly de
lightful!" "7iat that town!" said the growler.
"Yes, it's rather pretty, but look here. I
know a tree in California with timber
enough in it to frame the xvhole blamed
country." San Branch co Chronicle.
