There was a good deal OF excitement
around town that afternoon, and when
night came the crowd at the postoflce
was as big as the time when war was
declared agin Spain. Most OF EN-
| thought Bill Lapham was goin to de-
clar war ag'in Mexico or Canada. and
everybody was lookin pale when Dea-
con Spooner called the meetln 10 or

LITTLE MRS. HOPE.
BY VI. QUAD.

Copyright. 1900, by C. b. Lewis.)
There were 20 of us making up the
party at an English country house for
the shooting season, and 1t so happened
that while all were of course we'll
known to host and hostess seven or
eight were strangers to each other un-
til introduced at the house. l do not
think there were over three or four
who even knew little Mrs. Hope by
name or could tell anything of her
past. Nor did a great deal leak out
about her father after she had been
generally introduced and had come to
be favorite with both men and wo-
men. She was petite and blond. She
had baby face and big blue eyes, and
your first impression of her was that
she was child, and a very innocent
child at that. In the billiard room it
was whispered that she was a distant
relative of Colonel Saunders. our host.
and that she had married a scamp and
been so i'll used that divorce had been
sought for. 1t was generally agreed
that 1t must have all been the hus-
bands fault and that the man who
would III treat such a light hearted,
baby faced wife deserved something
beyond contempt. She was by long
odds the best looking woman among
the eight or ten, but as she was not
given to Irritation and as she looked
pretty without artificial means she was
forgiven for her handsome face and be-
came a general favorite.
The man who leaves business for a
week or two for an outing seldom
takes along iewelry or money of any
account. but nine women out Of ten
must carry their diamonds wherever
they go. There was brave display of
gems at Rose Hill with all except little
Mrs. Hope. She had two or three fin
ger rings and a bracelet or two and
made a poor showing compared to the
rest This was corrot orative evidence
that she was none too well fixed fnan-
cially, but she did not display the
slightest feeling of envy, and no hints
we're thrown out to hurt her feelings.

FEB WHITE.
He Tells How Couple of Bears
Played Pendulum With Him.

Copyright, 1900 by c. B. Lewis)
"One night along about the last of
October" said the old possum hunter
of Tennessee as we sat before his
kitchen fire, 81 had a dream bout coons
and possums. l drempt 1 found about
200 of EN- in cave and killed every
last one. When l woke up l was kickin
the footboard and THROWN my arms
about, and the old woman was sittin I'D
in bed sayin:
'Zeb White, what on earth is the
matter with yo' un?'
I've bin dreamin of coons and pos
sums says l as soon as l got my
senses.
Wall, yo needn't make SIGH a tar
nal fuss over it, and yo' needn't throw
away no mo time in dreamin. I'm go
in to make soft soap to-morrer, and
yo've got to help me-
Thar was a hundred coons and a
hundred possums, and got every last
one. Bein as pelts air wurth so cents
apiece, I dun believe the Lawd sent
me that dream that l might make a
hundred dollars
HUI! Don't yo' go to layin nuthn
off on the Lawd. You jist let them
we're varmints go their own way AMI
help me bout that SOAP
Il didn't have no mo- dreams that
night" said Zeb to me, "but I dun
made up my mind that I'd go to that
spot next day and look around a leetle.
When | got up in the mawnin, l was
still of that mind, and the old woman
seen was, and she said:
Zeb White, l amt gwine to do no
kickin or jawin, but I'm sayin that if
yo' don't help me make that soap yo1l
be sorry fur it,"
How'll / be sorry?' says I.
Dunno, but yo' will Thars SIGH a
thing as providence, and when a man
amt fitten providence sooner or later
gifts arter him and gives him the flop.
But drempt of 200 coons and pos
sums, and l don't want to miss such a
chance. I'll help about the soap as
soon as I've killed and skinned them
varmints.'
All right. Go your own way, but
don't blame me fur what happens. If
yo amt home in three days, I'll come
to look fur your dead body
Il felt sorter ashamed to go, but that
dream had made powerful impress
sion on me. and wanted a look at that
cave. l got ready and started off with
my gun on my shoulder, and ! calker-
lated to come right back if the coons
and possums wasn't thar. The. cave
was two miles away, and I'd got about
half way thar when sunthin happened.

naments. Unfortunately for her she
was rather absent-minded, and we pres
emily came to accept the theory, though
she searhed her rooms over and over
again without discovery.
The losses did not break UP the party
as might have been the case. The coll
onel and Mrs. Willmere came to some
mutual understanding. think the de-
tective advised them to call it mis-
lay and thereby put the thief off his
guard. Colonel Saunders insisted that
every jewel of value be locked up in
the family safe, and when this had been
done every guest became a Sherlock
Holmes. There were 20 guests and 70
! theories. Everything from an owl to
| the stable boy was under suspicion
| The detectives theory, as he gave it TO
the colonel privately, was that smart
thief disguised as a lady's maid or an
upper servant had entered the house
and committed both robberies. OF all
the theories this was the most absurd
but Of course the man felt bound to
make move of some sort. The jewel
ry had been locked up for four days
and things had quoted down, when the
colonel started to produce it in honor
of government official who was to ar
rive that evening. / says he started to
because he no sooner attempted TO I'M
lock the safe than he uttered a groan
and the sight of his haggard face was
evidence enough that something was
wrong. The safe had been opened by
means of key, but had not been locked
again. Every article of jewelry was
gone, and the value of the lot was not
cent under 10000 In seeking to
render his guests safe the colonel hal
helped to despoil them. 1t was impos-
sible to say at what date the robbery
had happened, and the only thing 10
do was TO telegraph up to London for a
detective While waiting his arrival
no servant was allowed off the grounds
and of course no guest could well leave
while under fire. 1t was a painful po-
sition for every one, and the detective
rather added to it when he got to work
AS soon as he was in possession Of all
the facts he said to the colonel:
These robberies were committed by
one of your guests. They must all as
semble in the drawing room and sub
nit to have their rooms searched"
Rather than subject them to such an
indignity the colonel offered to pay the
| full loss out Of his own pocket, but this
no one would hear to. All were willing
for the search TO 60 on. and host. host
ess and detective made it, Nothing
was found The detective chung to his
theory, however, and took another look
at the rooms and was given the names
OF their occupants. There were three
rooms which communicated, and those
three we're occupied by the colonel, his
wife and little Mrs. Hope. The door
| between the rooms OF the colonel and
Mrs Hope was bolted on her side and
had been for years. This door caught
the eye OF the detective. and after an
examination Of the bolt be said:
