loudly protested against charging the
thefts upon her. The detective merely
nodded and went away without further
words. l soon afterward left in a state
of bewilderment and repaired to my
room. After a few moments of silent
cogitation l heard the faint cry of a
cat, which was often repeated. An eX-
animation failed to reveal the pres
ence of a cat in the hall, but the cries
continued, Every article in my room

could l find there. Suddenly my at

thing that had been missed from the
burglarized house.
Here was a climax at once astound-
ing and convincing. II was the
burglar; 'there could be no denying
that. But why? How? All my un-
fortunate somnambulism! That-that
alone could account for it. In my sleep
/ had visited the house and borne
away, piece by piece, the various ar
ticles which my beloved had so highly
valued. What was to be done? They
must be restored, and at once. But
how? Honor pointed out the only way
and I dispatched a note to Mr. Ven
ner desiring him to call upon me at
onca.' He came. In a few brief words
/ explained my terrible somnambulis-
tic habit, and opened the door to the
other room, desiring him to enter He
uttered but one word: "Hello!" and
burst into a shout of laughter that
must have been heard in the street, for
my landlady came up and demanded
the cause of the uproar.
Nothing, madam" said Mr.. Venner:
"this gentleman had been telling me a
funny story. That's ALL"
The landlady looked puzzled. She

but Mr. Nenner assured her that the
housekeeper was strictly honest; as the
house was in my care, no fear need
be entertained. Thus passed the sum-
mer months. The family returned, and
! welcomed them again to their home,
in which we all entered, Esther hang
ing on my arm. AS we entered the

ton:

Going from place to place she dis
covered that various things were gone
things which had become dear to her
from long association. In vain her
mother tried to convince her that all
would be explained. She descended
from her room pale and nervous from

distracted while witnessing her sorrow.
Mr. Venner took the matter more cool
ly, ssconding my proposition that the
matter be at once placed before the
police and an investigation made. I
went quickly to the station and called
for a detective, accompanying him
back to the house, A statement was
made TO him, the missing articles emu
merated, and a thorough search was
made through the house. Nothing else
had been distracted; apparently only
the room of Esther and the parlor had
been bu glarized, although many ar
ticles of eater value than those TAX
en- had been left. Not lock was
broken; no attempt to get at silver
ware had been made; nothing had been
removed except articles which were
especially valuable to Esther, All as
sembled i'm the parlor, the opinion of
the detective was asked, but his only
reply was:
II must think this over for a day or
two; | can form no conclusion now.
