Wretched Miss Daisy gased after hin
with laek-lustre eyes, feeling as spirit;
less as a glass Of yesterdays soda-water:

emily it dawDed upon Daisy that there
must be some obstruction in the lock.
BY the aid OF the moon she peeped in at
the key-hole and saw the trouble. In
locking the door ON the inside Aunt
Abby had forgotten to remove the key /
Daisy pulled the bell frantically till the
peals echoed through every room, pulled
till she broke the wire, but nc sound Of
answering footsteps came. Far away in
the north chamber Aunt Abby was lying
on her good ear, sleeping the sleep Of
the innocent.
''She never hears anything when she's
on her left side" groaned Daisy. ''and
she may not turn over for the night,
Oh, what sEall l do What shall do ?"
She tossed pebbles against her auht's
easement and shouted her name again
and again; then desisted in sudden ter

ing in the neighborhood and should ap-

house like a midnight ghost, only to find
every door and window fast. She looked
in at the lighted dining room and the ap-

3hrank far more from meeting the tramp
whom her excited fancy was perpetually
evolving from the shadows. What with
ear and haste she reached the threshold
lreathless. Pushing open the hall door,
title vagrant that she was, she stole in

hutters.
"Hush, Grace; don't scream-don't
