! THE NEW BoARDER
It was not long after the diamond
robbery that he came, and his coming,
giving up as it did something new to
talk about, might have been regarded
as blessing, for we had all speculated
and surmised and wondered about that
robbery until the subject had been worn
threadbare. The story is briefly told.
Miss Cartwright, q wealthy lady of ma
ture years, had been at our boarding.
house on q visit to her married sister,
much younger than herself, and on go
ing away had at this sisters request left
her diamonds for the latter to wear at a
charity ball the following week. But
before the ball did come of twas found
that the diamonds had disappeared, and
thereupon every sympathetic heart in
the boarding house bled for poor Mrs.
Bronson, the married sister, and began
to give advice to Mr.. Bronson as to the
best method of recovering the lost jew
els. Old Mr.. Cartwright came down
from the country, swore great deal
(the diamonds were worth $4,000, de-
nounced the house as den of thieves,
and was thereupon ordered out of it by
the indignant landlady. Mrs. Bronson's
historical rawlings had given way to q
gentle melancholy; Mr.. Bronson had
said the whole affair was horrid nui-
sance, and he was sick of it; Miss Mo-
lette, our boarding house beauty, had
begun to yawn at any mention of the
matter, and Mrs. Banks, the landlady,
had ceased to make the daily remark
that such thing had never happened
in her house before.
The new boarder was from the coun-
try. His clothes were country-made,
his gait was suggestive of the pillow.
His hair had been cut at home, and
above all his face had that look of back
woods innocence, that letter of recon-
mendation which Nature writes for the
rustic and which the grown-up gamin
OF the city must needs make his way
without.
''Oh, isn't he q darlingr' exclaimed
Miss Molette, the day after his arrival.
''WhenI went down to dinner yesterday
with my train on and he dropped his
knife and fork to stare at me. Ifelt that
that was q compliment worth having"
SHOW, Lady Clara Vere," said Mr..
Steele, newspaper man" s'don't 20 to
breaking country heart for pastime af-
ter it comes to town. If that young
ster would follow my advice he would
take the back track tomorrow. II he
stays here there will be number one
plowman spoiled to make very infer
ior salesman, to say nothing of the
probable damage to his young affec-
tons"
Il gave him that very advice yester-
day evening"" observed Mr.. Thornton,
. commercial traveller, who sometimes
made short stays at our boarding house.
Tho fellow came to me after dinner,
aud after informing me that he felt
awful lonesome asked humbly if would
1T him talk to me. Blaze away said
/, and thcreupon he began to give me
his history with that of all his relations
thrown in. He happened to mention in
cidentally that he had brought all his
money with him, whereupon I warned
him Of the dangers Of town life, telling
him among other things of the diamond
robbery. He took q vast amount of in
terest in the diamond affair, and asked
40 end Of foolish questions. However,
whom !. told him what the jewels were
worth he grinned, shook his head, and
remarked that couldn't fool him with
my big talk, as he knew something
about such things. His cousin Nathan
had bought q diamond shirt-pin last
time ho was in New York, and it was q
French diamond at that
1T takes these country folks to know
It ALL" observed Mr.. Steele. II hope
tho fellow won't take to hanging around
me, for I do hate fool.''
''Poor young manr' sighed Miss
Prince, our school-ma' am boarder. 1T
is shame for an innocent creature like
that to come walking into trap as it
were, and be ruined by gamblers and
sharpers.''
II don't know what you mean by
suck talk, " exclaimed Miss Molette. II
am sure there are no gamblers or sharp
ers in this house,
IF no will only let whisky alone he
may get along" observed Mr.. Thorn
ton before Miss Prince could give one
OF her usual meek answers, ''but if the
fast men around town find out that he
hs money they will do all they can to
make him drink, and then the first thing
he knows he will be cleaned out. Ishall
give him another hint that he had bet
ter take care how he lets himself be
roped in, but know it will be throwing
words away, as those sort of fellows
never listen to reason"

''Poor, misguided creature! exclaiu,-
