During one Of the coldest days Of last month;
when hrcs were in earnest request, and few peo-
pie were seen out of doors, rather dilapidated.
looking individual walked into the store Of Mr..
NJ, at the lower end Of SteiIacoom, and, seeing
nobody astir, and suppOsing the proprietor had
gone outside, as he frequently does, hastily picked
up roll Of butter that laid temptingly near, and
slowed it away in the crown Of an old felt hat
which he wore, and which he had barely time to
replace on his head ere he heard footsteps in the
room back Of the store. Mr.. NJ. himself imme-
diately after made his appearance in the store,
with mcUy twinkle in his eye, as though SOME
thing amusing hal just occurred, and, giving his
customer look Of recognition, told him to be
seated CpOinting to seat behind the stOve) while
he prepared a couple Of hot drinks, not bad to
take during such weather. With eyes gIiSten.
ing in grateful anticipation, the customer did as
desired, while the proprietor, after quickly cram
uinS into the stove an additional arniul Of light
wood, proceeded TO make the promised drinks,
the two principal ingredients Of which were q
superior article Of whiskey and hot water.
Handing one glass to his customer. and taking
another himself he sat down and commenced
conversing with him on ordinary matters, never
for moment betraying the slightest suspicion
Of the theft. Having finished the first glass,
Mr. N. set about preparing two more, which the
customer PercciVing, he rose to 60, remarking-
II is time for me to leave"
"No, no, not yet, said Mr.. NJ "dOn't be in
hurry, but stop and take another glass. 1t
is good for this cold weather"
This was uttered In such tone that the Gus
toner could not refuse, and he again seated him.
self; Mr.. N. meanwhile making another hot
tOddy for each. Before sitting down to drink
the second glass, he again put an armful Of wood
in the stove, WHICH was already red hot on all
sides, and under the influence Of which his Gus
toner was beginning to perspire freely. Ut
should be stated here that Mr.. NJ, while seated,
occupied the only place Of egress from behind
the stove for the sufferer, who could not escape
while he sat there, and was therefore at his
mercy) Soon, under the increasing heat Of the
stove, added to tie warmth impaired by the tod
dies, streaks somewhat tinker than perspira.

and neck, and he began to exhibit symptoms Of
