ing the family. On the evening meil-
toned, the fair sleep-walker arose
about midnight, and with lighted
lamp commenced to explore the house.
in one room was young man, a
friend Of her fathers who had arrived
that evening. and among the cham
berS visited was his apartment. The
door leading into the room being un-
locked, the unconscious young girl
with u lamp il her hand, entered
the room, and While the visitor was
i'll the arms of Morpheus, gathered
his clothes, coat. paAtS, vest and boots,
even to his hnt--not leaving gar
