and symmetrical figure. 1t will do no
harm to call her Lulu. Well, for few
weeks the girls had perfectly splendid
time, talking Of their own affairs and
those ofothers indulging in reminiscen.
ces, surnises, etc, attending parties,
places of amusement, driving, walking,
and, In fact. doing much that would dis
agree with the old saw, early to bed and
early to rise" Then they sighed for
something new and novel. What should
it be2
"Oh, / know" said Lottic to Lulu, one
night as they were disrobng prepara-
tory to WELDING themselves into the
~soothing arms Of Morpheus, the god OF
sleep.
Il know. Cousin George has small
camera in his room. He carries it with
him when he goes away on his sum
mer vacations, and takes Photographic
views of the most picturesque localities
through which he passes. He has
taught me how TO take photograph
Now, tomorrow morning, We will get up
early, and after George has gone down
TO his office, we will slip INTO his room,
lock the door and have a grand time.
will be the photographer"
Lulu thought the idea was real nice
And then, blushing violently, she Wills
pered q few words to Loltle, who also
6lushed violently.
"Oh, Lulu" exclaimed Lottie, suppose
somebody should happen to-bui never
mird, I'm willing"
Then out went the lights, and the fair
girls bounced into bed and were soon
asleep.
Ahcr breakfast, the next morning, the
girls proceeded to Cousin Georges pri-
vate apartment, which was quite near
their own. The champermaid was just
leaving the room. The coast was clear
and SO in went the two damsels.
Lottie carefully locked the door, and
then dragged forth the camera from a
corner of the room. Then Lulu, her
face literally crimson with blushes, be-
gan to di.robC. Off came the pretty
morning wrapper, then the dainty white
underclOlhing etc, until finally, beauu-
ful, bewitchiDg Lulu stood in the center
Of the room clad only in natures garb.
The naughty fair one poised as the Greek
Slave, and Lottic lcVeIcd the instrument,
. adjusted the glass, and then walked to
one OF the front windows and lazily
saZcd out upon the street. Suddenly an
exclamation Of terror escaped her lips.
"Oh, Lulu" she cried, here comes
GEORGE"
Hastily picking up the feminine wear
ing apparel that lay upon the floor, the
young women hurried to their own
chamber, which they managed to reach
without being seen.
WASN'T it lucky that l happened TO
look out Of the Window remarked
Lottie.
"Yes," said Lulu, and then the fir
girl shuddered visibly. ooh, Lottie,"
she continued, eve forgot to put that in
strument back in its proper place. Sup
pose that your cousin should 80 10 his
room and-Oh, dear, how coul, | ever
face him again"
Lulu R-." gasped Lottie, "I'm the
biggest fool alive. | didn't remove the
negative. Don't look al me so, dear.
will run TO Georges room and fix mat
ters in a hurry. | haven't heard him
come up stairs yet"
And so Lottic hastily tiptoed along the
corridor and gently opened the door ot
her cousins room. Horrors! There was
cousin George, standing near the camara
holding that negative up TO the light, and
gazing at It with as'onlshed bui eager
eyes.
Lotties half suppressed scream inter-
rupted and startled him.
" What possessed you girls to act so?"
he demanded.
"Oh, George, implore you do not ex-
pose u" pleaded the fearful, hali-EIint-
ing girl; what induced you to come
home as you did?'
Cant get along without my watch, my
dear, ">yas the reply. II shall insist up
on printing one picture froIS tins inter
esting negative, and then you may have
it."
"Oh, no, no, George; poor Lulu would
die of shame if she knew of this dis
covery-givo me that glass, please" beg
ged Lottie, hysterically.
The upshot OF the matter was that
Iotties tears and pitiful cntrealiCs in
duced the generous, manly fellow to ut
tcrly destroy the negative at once. Then
Lottie returned to Lulu and told her
that there was no cause for fear now. as
the telltale glass was broken in thou
sand pieces.
"I'm 80 glad" exclaimed Lulu; Il will
never act so again.
But at the dinner table George looked
at Lulu SO intently and smiled so often
that the young lady, suspccting that he
knew something about the affair, began
TO cry, abruptly left the table and ran to
her room. Her actions caused consider
able astonishment to all but George and
Iottie, but the latter excused her friends
conduct by remarking that Lulu had had
the neuralgia all day, and then LOttie
went up TO Lulu and ried to pacify her,
but Lulu would not he plcifed. She in
sisted upon knowing the whole truth,
and so Lottie reluctantly told her all.
Lulu became so homesick that she went
10 New York on the following day, after
telling Lottie's parents that she was
nearly dead with neuralgia, and really
must 20 home at once.
Of course the names used above are
all ticti"tious, but the story Itself came
direct from the Young lady whom the
Dispdtch calls Lottie. If Detective Swan
had learned Of the rather naughty affair
in time-O, whewl
