Newark, Oct 1.-The store Of
Charles Bryan, at the F., w, q b. rail
road station, was entered by robbers
Saturday night, and several articles
carried away. An entrance was made
by going on the roof and going through
small window. This is the second or
third time that Mr.. Bryan;s store has
been entered.
Sunday night the hardware store of
II. B. Wright & CO., on the corner of
Main and Chapel streets was entered
by thieves. The parties gained en-
trance in the second story window of
the building next to the main store.
The large window pane was cut out and
laid on the roof The burglar alarm
wires were cut in two places, and the
clapper Of the electric gong was taken
off. The store was pretty thoroughly
ransacked, but the parties were unable
to get but little booty. They secured
about Sl5 in all, part of this was cash,
which was taken from the drawer
This is the season when the stores in
this section are generally rohhed, and
Mr.. Wright and his clerks had been
expecting a visit. 1t seems that, the
thieves only wanted the knives and the
razors, as the seizzors were not
touched. One of the clerks had care
fully secreted the CUTLERY, and, there
fore, the robbers failed to secure it.
This is the third time within a year
that his store has been entered. Mr..
Wright thinks from the movements. Of
the party they must have been
acquainted with the place. There is
no clue. 1t is most likely that the
same party entered both stores.
There is some talk about forming
company to build a market house in
this town, on the lower school lot,
owned by John E. Lewis. The people
would gladly welcome such place, but
there seems to be some doubt with
some about the contemplated enterprise
going up.

Miss Victoria Kingsley. of Kingsley
hall, could afford to be a little eccentric,
people said. Not only was she rich and
beautiful and highly accomplished, but
she had reached the mature age Of six
and-twenty and was mistress OF her
own fortune. Prior TO the death of her
parents, both of whom had succumbed
in the same month to prevailing fever.
the family had resided in the city,
spending portion of each summer
only at their handsome country seat.
But soon after her bereavement the
young lady had gone into secluslon at
Kingsley hall, which was part Of her
heritage, and had since lived in the
strictest retirement there, receiving no
visitors except when her ryounger broth
er, Robert, brought party of his boon
companions up from town for few
days recreation during the shooting
season.
IL was now three years since Miss
Kingsley had been left an orphan. At
her age this was long time to renounce
society, and it was not strange that the
world pronounced her eccentric. But
that portion of the world residing in
the wealthy and eminently respectable
village of Pennstock began TO have
hopes for her when she suddenly
emerged from her sequestration so far
as to become the hostess of Thanks
giving dinner party, The truth was
that Miss Kingsley had been doing
some serious thinking. 1t had oc-
cured TO her, upon reflection, that peo-
pie had right to conclude that she was
supremely selfish and proud, and she
decided to set aside this verdict, II pos.
sible, by giving a series of entertain
ments at her house. Thanksgiving day
was at hand, and she began to put her
plan into execution by inviting a num-
Der of her church acQuaiptances in the
village to dine at Kingsley hall on that
day.
OF course the invitations were oil
promptly accepted, and the event was
looked forward to as something out of

the message OF salvation with clos

the ordinary in Pennstock. AS for
Miss Kingsley, she was surprised to find
that she took a lively interest in the
preparations for the dinner, and when
Thanksgiving day dawned, with fros-
" and nipping air, she was inclined to
be proud of the success of her under
taking in one respect, 1t had proved to
her that there was a pleasanter way of
passing her time than in brooding over
her sorrow. All day she was strangely
buoyant and cheerful, as if possessed
by presentiment that something very
pleasant was about to happen.
And that afternoon something did
happen-something that was not down
On Miss Kingsley's programme. The
busy young woman had entered the
kitchen to give some final directions to
the cook, when she observed that q
strange man was sitting quietly in o

She paused abruptly and stared at him.
with flash Of startled recognition IN
her eyes.
"A poor tramp, mum, what asked for
q bite TO eat," explained the cook,
npologetically.
But Miss Kingsley did not hear. The
color was coming and going in her
cheeks, and she grasped the back Of
chair as If to steady herself.

but distinct voice. "Can it be possibleP"
The recognition was evidently mu-
tual. The stranger rose to his feet, n
picture of astonishment and confusion.
He was a strikingly handsome man,
tall and straight as an arrow, with
dropping brown mustache. He GER
tainly had not the appearance OF q
tramp, except that his clothing was
threadbare, and even ragged in places,
and he wore no overcoat.

But Miss Kingsley seemed to sud-

ing to the cook she said:
"Never mind, Hannah; l will see this
gentleman myself. He is an old friend
of the family" Then, addressing the
man: 'Will you please come with me,
Mr.. Granby?"
He looked as II he would have pres
ferred to sink through the floor, but she
had turned and was leaving the kitchen
before he could reply. He followed
her hesitatingly, mechanically, like one
in q dream. She led the way to small
room adjoining the library. There she
turned and faced him,
"Mr. CRANKY, will you kindly tell me
what this means?"
he stood before her, fumbling his hat
