"Tve few words to say to you,
ma'am," said the man : and all the
boldness and insolence had gone
out of his voice, leaving it gentle
and sorrowful. "Just a few words
to ask you to forgive us for what
we meant to do, and to tell you
what has happened to change my
mind so suddenly, and why we
can't rob you, as we intended to

He took the package from his

SOME ONE IN THE ROOM.

Elijah Crowly, my husband, was
owner and captain of coasting
vessel, doing a good trade; and we
occupied an old fashioned and
somewhat dreary house at Stepney.
Elijah liked the place more than |
did, and it was on his account that
we stayed there so long. thought
it could make very little difference
to him where we lived, for he was
at home only two or three weeks
out of every ten. was often alone
two or three months at a time: and
lonely enough it was sometimes.

so much. "Get any one you please,
and before long l hope | shall be
able to stay at home with you my

| took his advice, and after some
inquiry, found a woman who ]
thought would suit me. Her name
was Emily Sands, and she pleas
ant-faced woman of about forty.
She told me she had been left a
widow with no means, and had
since earned a living by needle
work; and although | intended
that the woman who came every
morning to do my homework
should still come, / found Emily so
handy and so willing that ! soon

virtuous, that | was satisfied that ]
