dayto see Editha's papa, and he &C.
tually came from that burglar who
was in jail and wanted TO see Editha
tor a special reason. Editha's papa
took her to see HIM, and the moment
she entered his cell she knew him.
"Hcw do you do, my bord?" she
said, in a gentle tone.

"None of your chat" said the-police
officer. Say what you have TO say"
And then, strange 20 say, the bur-
glar brought forth from under his
mattress box which he handed TO
the little girl.

thought yer might as well hev 'em.

"but never nothin' as bloomin' queer

that-it was agin human natur"
But they were in the box now, and
Editha was SO glad to see them that
she could scarcely speak for few
seconds. Then she thanked the
burglar politely.
II am much obliged to you," she
said, "and I'm really very sorry you
are to be sent so far away. | am
sure papa would have tried to help
you if he could, though he says he is
afraid you would not do for an
editor"
the burglar closed one eye and
made very singular grimace at the
police officer, who turned away sud,
denly and did not look round until
Editha had hidden her acquaintance

And even this was not quite all. a
few weeks later, a box was LETT tor
Editha by very shabby queer-ook~
ing man, who quickly disappeared as
soon as he had given it to the servant
at The door; and in this box was a
very large old,fashioned silver watch,
almost as big as turnip, and inside
the lid were scratched these words:
To the little Kid,

Editha thought deeply for a few
seconds.
"You oughtn't to burgle anything
she said.
"Of course you know that, but II

to do it, would like to show you
the things you'd better take"

"you can take my things"
"What kind O. things?" asked the
burglar.
@My locket, and the little watch
papa gave me, and the necklace and
bracelets my grandmamma lett me-
they are worth a great deal of money,
and they are very pretty, and was

them. And-then-"very slowly,
and with deep sigh, "there are-my

began to open the drawers where the

she said suddenly.
''T amt as good as it ought to
be, by no manner o MEANS" said
the burglar. every one haint as

"Mamma wouldn't like to use steel

"I'll tell you what you can do: please

The man seemed to think NOM

and even went to the length of leav'

and spoon.

tina, when she saw him do this.
CHATS reward O. merit, cos yer
didn't squeal," said the burglar.
He was so busy for the next few
minutes that he did not speak, though
now and then he broke into low
laugh, as if he was thinking Of some
thing very funny, indeed. During
the silence, Editha sat holding her
little feet in her night>gown, and
watching him very curiously. A
great many new thoughts came into
her active brain, and at last she could
not help asking some questions.
"Would you really rather be a
burglar than anything else?" she in>
quired, respectfully.
SWELL" said the man, "p'r'aps I'd
prefer TO be Lord Mayor; or a memb>
er O the 'Ouse O LORDS, CT hever

"Oh!" said Editha; you couldn't

as she led the way.
But when they reached the library
her loving little heart tailed her.
All the things her father valued
most were there, and he would be
sure to be SO sorry if one thing was
missing when he returned. She
stood on the threshold a moment
and looked about her.
"Oh," she whispered, "please do me
another favor, wont you? Please
let me slip quietly up stairs and
bring down my own things instead.
They will be SO easy to carry away,
and they are very valuable, and-and
l will make you present OF them if
you will not touch anything that be-

The burglar gave a rather strange

he said in a somewhat grumbling
voice.
Her treasures were in her own
room, and her bare feet made no
sound as she crept slowly up the
staircase and then down again. But
when she handed the little box to
the burglar her eyes were wet.
Papa gave me the watch, and
mamma gave me the locket," she
whispered, TREMENDOUSLY; land the
pearls were grandmamma's and grand.

1t would not be easy to know
what the burglar thought ; he look
ed queerer than ever. Perhaps he
was not quite so bad as some burg
lars, and felt rather ashamed for tax
ing her treasures from a little girl
who loved other people so much bet.
ter than she loved herself. But he
did not touch any of papa's belong

much longer. He grumbled a little
when he looked into the drawing.

about "folks never 'avin' no couside err.

though Editha was sorry to see that
he appeared annoyed, she did not
understand him.
Alter that, he returned to the
pantry and helped himself to some
cold game pie, and seemed to enjoy
1t, and then poured out tumbler Of
: wine, which Editha thought great
deal TO drink at once.

least of it.

Editha did not know he was jok
ing she thought he was improving
and that if he bad had advantages he
might have been a very nice man.
1t was astonishing how neatly he
slipped through the window; he was
gone in a second, and Editha found
herself standing in the dark, as he
had taken his lantern with him.
She CROPPED her way out and up
the stairs, and then, for the first
time, she began to feel cold and rath-
er weak and strange; it was more
like being frightened than any feel
ing she had had while the burglar
was in the house.
"Perhaps, if ne had been a very
bad burglar, he might have killed
me- she said to herself, trembling a
little. 81 am very glad they did not
kill me, for-for it would have hurt

came back and they told him"
Her mamma wakened in the morn

eyes, mamma DEAR" said Editha.
She did not want TO startle her
just then. SO she said nothing more,
and she even said nothing all through
the excitement that followed the
discovery of the robbery, and indeed
said nothing until her papa came
home, and then he wondered so at
her pale face, and petted her so ten>
derby, and thought it SO strange
that nothing but her treasures had
been taken from upstairs, that she
could keep her secret no longer.
Papa" she cried out all at once
in trembling voice, Il gave them to
him myself"
"You, Mike! You'll" exclaimed
her father looking alarmed. "Kitty,
the fright has made the dear little
thing ILL.,"
"No, papa" said Editha, her hands
shaking, and the tears rushing into
her eyes, she did not know why. II

would be SO frightened-and it came
into my mind to ask him not to
waken her,-and crept down stairs
and asked him and he was not

and told him would give him all my
things if he would not touch yours

bad burglar,papa,-and he told me he

And she hid her face on her papa's
shoulder.
"Kitty!" papa cried out. "Oh
Kitty"
Then her mamma flew to her and
knelt down by her, kissing her and
crying aloud:
"Oh, Mike! if he had hurt you,-
if he had hurt YOU"
He knew l was not going to
scream mamma" said Editha. sAnd
he knew l was too little TO hurt him
| told him So"
She scarcely understood why
mamma cried so much more at this
and why even papa's eyes were wet
