without screaming, the rSnsacking Of
her store Of valuable laces and the ap-
preparation Of her jewelry; but the
lady, very nationally deemiug her life
worth sll the lace and diamonds in
the world, quietly closed her eyes and
awaited the result.
The light was withdrawn from her
face, and she heard the rustling Of
silks. the picking Of locks, and coca
slonally q low whisper Of surprise, OF
disappointment. Then there was
silence for a full minute-it seemed
an hour to her-and a soft footstep
approached the bed and the glare Of
the lantern again fell upon her face.
Through the closed lids Of her eyes
she saw the light, but remained calm
and motionless in its serutinizing rays,
fearful that the least movement might
imperil her life. What a moment Of
SUSPENSE The light was removed
from its face, and she felt that some
one was leaning against the bed. Still
she remained motionless, nor did she
stir when the warm breath of the
burglar famed her cheeks. Not until
his lips pressed her forehead did she
spring up and half Shrek, Who is in
this r0om2'
Hush" responded a voice 10 a
hoarse whisper. while a rough hand
was laid on her shoulder. Speak
nothing and fear nothing"
The next moment she heard the re-
treating footsteps and the ereaking OF
a shutter, then all was still again.
Satisfied that she was alone, she sprang
from the bed and touched 4 lighted
match to a burner, then sank into a
chair completely Frustrated with the
danger through which she had passed.
Recovering, she looked round to ascers
tan Of what she was plundered.
The drawers we're all in the utmost
confusion, but, strange to say, little or
nothing was missing. A casket Of
jewelry was open on the bureau, but
the diamonds and gold we're all there.
Beside the casket she discovered a
little roll Of paper containing a ring
which had been given to her many
years before and which had been in
her possession ever since. Half be-
wildered at the singular proceeding,
she was about to cast the paper from
her, when her eye caught the marks
of a pencil upon it. She carefully
opened Il and read:
This ring, which was once mine,
tells me in whose house | am. You
know | am an outlaw-the world
knows it, and | do not care to deny
it; but, fallen as l am, | cannot rob
you, Maria. Forgive me, and God
bless you. HENRY.
This explained all. Falling on her
knees, she prayed for him who had
written the scroll. And who was
Henry" Ten years ago he loved
that same Maria, and he would have
made her his wife-for she had prom
Used to be his wife-had he not taken
to drink and gambling and finally
forged the name Of his employer, for
which he was given a home in a con.
Wet prison. When he was worthy o.
her love he gave her hal ring, ant
she had kept it in remembrance o
what he had been. This is the story
Of the ring,
