MISS LAWS0N'S MONEY.

CLARK, there's been a robbery at
81 c. street. said my chief one
morning in June, 1872, as | entered
the Office. Il want you to go there
and see about it at once, There's a
reward Of 81 900 offered
OF course | lost no time in start
ing for 81 Ii street, which l
found TO be an unpretentiouS looking
little cottage, standing in the midst
of quite large and uncultivated
garden. l was shown into the parlor
and minute later was joined by a
short, stout, elderly lady, who intro
duced herself as fellows:
'Mr. Clark, the detective, / pre-
sumo. | am Miss Harriet Lawson,
the owner of the house and the per-
son who sent for you. Suppose we
proceed to business at once.'
signified that such was my desire
and the old lady proceeded in her
abrupt manner.
OF course you want to know all |
can tell you about the robbery. Well,
it is not much that | know-it's all
mystery to me. Yesterday afternoon
| drew The sum of six thousand dol
lars from the savings bank. | lock d
it,up in my safe. and when l went to
get it this morning, for the purpose
of paying a note which fell due to-
day. il was gone. That's all / know
about it,
What sort of "a safe have you got p
/ asIed.
you can see for YOURSELF replied
the lady. Step this way.
| followed her to an apartment on
the fl por above.
'TiiS is my room she said, as she
opened The q" +, and there is my safe
in the curner.'
Ii has patent combination lock-
| said, and bears 20 marks of VIC
lrnre.'

Unfortunate. Well, Miss Lawson,
who lives in the house beside your
self?' l asked.
The old lady looked me steadily in
the eye.
Nobody in the house took the
money. / will not allow such an idea
to enter nay head
This is not an answer to my ques-
ton, Miss Lawson
'Mr. Clark, said the old lady, but
two persons besides myself slept in
the house last night. They are my
servant, Barbara, and my companion,
Miss Alice Trafton. Neither of them
knows anything of the natter
Still | would like to examine them
both,' persisted.
Il will not allow it = exclaimed the
old lady angrilly. Barbara Heath is
an old, trusted servant, whom have
had for many years, and Alice Traf-
ton is the daughter of a dear, de
ceased friend, has been nv conpan-

FIVE AND TWENTY YEARS AGO

All! good wife. have you forgotten
Days when you were young ana iairT
Time of ros y cheeks and dimples'
Time of sunny golden hair?
Not a thought of toll could vex us,
Grief or care we did not know;
You ana | were young together
Five and twenty years ago.
In the strength of hopeful manhood,
1.-the and straight and tall stood;
And you waited close beside me,
Crowned with blooming womanhood;
Now, life's twilight shades are falling,
While the years crowd on apace,
And on heart and form and feature
Care and grief have left their trace.
We have heard the church bell tolling,
We have filled pale hands with fiowers,
We have robed our precious darl ngs
For the graves dark, lonely hours;
We have seen the wee chair vacant,
Aged friends we've bid "Good-bye;
Ger green graves we've wept together
Ahihow oftent yon aild 4.
But the summer bloom is followed
BY the "sear and yellow leaf"
And the golden harvest comes not
Till we break the burdened sheaf;
Hearts may love in sunny weather,
When youths freshests roses grow;
That can i'll betide the waiting
For the ripening years of snow.
But the rapture oflove's morning
Brghtens still our noon-tide ray,
And hope paints glorious sunset
For our last declining day;
And even long or short the journey,
That our tagging feet may know,
Love is ours, the love we plighted,
Five and twenty years ago.

AT the appdnted hour that even
lng presented myself at Miss Law
sons cottage, L was at once ushered
into the spare room. AT nine O'Clock
Miss Trafton and the servant return
ell. Half an hour later the entire,
household was in bed.
The place was still as death as 1
sat there, a dark lantern by nv side,
watching and waiting. The clock
struck ten, ard l had seen or heard
nothing to excite my suspicious.
At eleven my watch was still unre-
warded. | had but little faith in my
desirable result from my vigil, look
| ed forward to the long dreary night
which was before me with anything
but pleasurable emotions. But was
| destined to be happily disappointed.
| AS the hall hour after eleven struck
| heard slight noise, and a moment
later Miss LaWSon's door opened ana
the old lady appeared, loose wraf-
per thrown over her, lamp IN her
hand.
Her eyes wore a strange meaning
less stare. She did not, as first ex-
pected, enter my room, but proceed
ed with noiseless tread along the
passageway. Instantly a quick sus-
picion of the truth entered my mind,
and arose and followed her.
She went down to the lower floor,
then turned into passage-way, walk
ed the whole length of that opened
door and descended a flight of
stairs into the cellar. Arriving at
this apartment she proceeded to one
corner where number of boxes and
barrels were stored, and knelt upon
the ground. She then drew from
her pocket a roll of bills. which she
placed in one of the boxes. Then
raising to her feet she began to re-
trace her steps.
or course the reader understands
bv this time. as clearly as then mn
derstood. that Miss Lawson was a
somnambu;ist.
