THE MAN IN THE TRUNK.
A New Way the Thieves Of Paris Have
of Getting the Burglar
Into the House.

Two well-dressed men from Paris
drove up to the best hotel in a country
town in the department of the Eure, re-
lates a Paris correspondent, and en-
gagged double-bedded room. They de-
posted a very heavy trunk in corner,
and then went out to see the town, tell
ing the landlady, widow, that they
would return at night But night came
and the two men did not come back at
the time specified. The landlady watt
ed, much surprised, and kept her estab-
ishment open after the usual hour for
closing. This was soon observed by
the local gendarmes on duty, who en-
tered the hotel and reminded the pro-
prietess, of the place that the curfew, or
its modern substitute, had tolled the
kneu Of parting day, and that it was
full time to extinguish lights in all inns
and cafes. The widow SAID she was
waiting for two men who had left big
trunk behind them. This caused the
gendarmes to reflect a little. One of
them, well versed in criminal annals,
suddenly remembered the Gouffe case.
He also thought of the young stamp COL
lecteor who was murdered in Paris a
few years since, and whose body was
thrust into trunk. Anxious to secure
all the credit of discovery which might
lead to promotion and glory, the gen
darme learned in criminal lore asked
the widow to let him see the trunk, and
told his companion to wait for him at
the bar or buvette of the hotel. The
landlady accordingly led the man to
the room, and he began to gauge the
weight of the big box, when suddenly
the lid few up and out jumped wiry
little man, who brandished big revolv-
er in his right hand. The widow
screamed and the gendarme was tenn
porarfly thrown off his guard, but he
soon pulled himself together and Crap
pied with the person who had been act
ing tack4n-the-box. The other gen
darme, hearing the landlady's shrieks
and the scuff1ing overhead, was soon on
the scene of action and helped his COL
league to manacle the mysterious per-
son who had jumped out of the trunk
and to take him to the lookup. There
the fellow refused to give his name or
to say anything about his companions,
who are supposed to have returned to
Paris leaving him to plumber the inn
when the owner and her servants were
asleep.|St. Louis Republic.

HE TURNED TO HER JUST AS THEY
REACHED THE GATE.

the sole purpose of being near to you,
waiting on you, and keeping harm from
you. Oh, Aline, why do you torture
me into telling you this?" The excite
ment left his voice, and he turned weari-
ly from her and began to walk slowly
on along the road. She followed him,
her heart beating wildly with emotion.
She had never seen him this way be-
fore How handsome he had looked
with his blazing eyes and quivering
mouth! How big he was, and strong
and noble! he turned to her just as
they reached the gate, and, taking her
hand in his, said gently:
II should not have spoken to you, lit
tie cousin. 1had determined to play nv
part out to the end, and see, have
failed. I will go away tonight. Forget
me and my poor love, and be happy"
He raised her hand to his lips. "Good-
by!" and he quickly turned toward the
house.
Aline seized his arm. "You shall not
go!" she cried.
Il must!"

@Aline, what are you saying?''

thing before he can understand? Hove

She was caught in two strong arms,
and the rest of her sentence was never
uttered.
''But, little one," said Jean, looking
into the eyes raised to his, what will
your father say?"'. IT ...: -
my father loves you and he loves me.
Come and we will tell him.,

Jean-Louis flushed at the insult, but
said nothing, and the return was made
in silence. Aline, who usually led the
conversation, was prey to conflicting
thoughts She thought of her accepted
lover, and then stole q glance at the
strong, erect figure beside her. Finally
she said:

girl, feeling conscious of vague desire
that he should not be So For reply he
shrugged his shoulders. At another
time Aline would have dropped the
subject without seeking to find the
meaning of the mans gesture. But
the conversation with Isidore had ir-
ritated her, and in comparison with the
smal]ness of character displayed by
him the strong simplicity of the man
beside her seemed more than ever at
tractive-

passionately. "You pretend to like me

"Stop! You don't know what you are

Indifferent manner had dropped from
him like cloak, and his words came as
though forced against his will. Ahne

Watching the beginnings.

TO be good Christian one needs to
be good Waterman. The watchman's
talent is talent for discerning begin
nings-the scarcely visible beginnings
of danger. Any dullard will know
when the house is in blaze; you want a
Waterman who will detect the faint
odor of smoke half an hour before the
blaze might burst forth. So any dullard
in the Christian life will be able to tell
when he has fallen into willful false
hood. What is needed is watchfulness
to discern the silent working of the
leaven of hypocrisy at the beginning.
He that enters Christ's service does not
undertake to keep from going to sleep;
he undertakes to be on the watch while
keeping wide awake.-S. S. Times.

Our discontents and anxieties have
their origin in moral evil The lines
Of suffering on almost every human
countenance have been deepened, if not
traced there, by unfaithfulness to con-
science. by departures from duty. To
do wrong is the surest way to bring suf-
fering; no wrong deed ever failed to
bring it. Those sins which are followed
by no palpable pain are yet terribly
avenged even in this life. They abridge
our capacity for happiness, impair our
relish for innocent pleasure, and in
crease our sensibility to suffering. No
enemy can do us equal harm with what
we do ourselves whenever or however
we violate any religious or moral obi.

"TOME here, If you want to see
Mile. Aline. She's coming down
the Street."
Christine, the inn-keeper, seated be-
fore her door knitting, dropped her eyes
upon two figures coming along the lit
tie street. It appeared that from each
doorstep like summons had been
given, for almost all the inhabitants of
Coubertin were gathered at their front
doors.
Mile. Aline, the object of oil this in
terest, passed along, accompanied by
young fellow dressed after the manner

her radiant beauty had caused She
smiled and bowed to those whom she

"He? He's too stupid. All he thinks
about is the COWS and chickens on his

Aline Beaujars merited her reputa-

exquisite than this young girl of IS
years, with her blonde hair, her gray
eyes, and her brilliant complexion She
lived happily at her fathers farm, where
everyone loved and worshiped her as
sort of queen, beginning with Jean
Louis, who. in spite of his stupidity,
possessed marvellous ingenuity in salts
flying the young girls caprices- He was
an orphan, and had been adopted while
child by his rich uncle, NJ. Beaujars,
and now occupied on his farm the po-
sition of general manager.

was allowed to be the constant compan-

He was protector, nothing more, in the
eyes Of the girls parents. In reality, he
and the girl were fast friends, and Aline
found him anything but stupid as a
companion. She used to question her.
self as to just how much her regard for
her old friend had to do with her de-
sire to remain unmarried. Once she
said to him, little wistfully:
"Jean, Bristol has asked me to marry
him. What do you say?'
"He's fine fellow" replied her
cousin, without meeting her eyes.
'Then you would advise me to &C.

Nevertheless, Aline determined to be-
come an old maid, and in this resolve she
reached 20 years. NJ. Isidore Bertoulin
proposed to her. He was considered
splendid parti, and Beaujars was de-
termined to secure him as a son-in-law.
He was good-looking. rich and clever.
Aline consented, and was hurt because
Jean-Louis semed glad. He didn't care
for her, she decided, and she might
just as we'll go away from him.
NJ. Isidore came often to see his be-
trothed, and treated her with every
mark of attentive affection. She
seemed content, and the wedding day
grew gradually nearer. It was her Gus
tom to walk with her lover as far as
Coubertin, when he returned home in
the evenings, and on these occasions
Jean-Louis walked some hundred feet
behind them and accompanied Aline
back home again. On one Of these
