 'Is out of town" she interrupted. "But he would approve my course if he were here. He won't let you call on Amy Because I haven't enough money Because you haven't enough stability of character" answered the lady severely, though, as before, she spoke in a tone too low for the ears of her liveried servitors. ''But come have reason for haste
 She ascended the steps just as the door opened in response to the footman's ring. Passing the butler, she turned a keen eye upon him, for something in his appear ance struck her as unusual and vaguely disquieting; so much so, indeed, that she asked him sharply what was the matter.
 The man raised both hands to his head with a gesture that seemed wholly invol- untary. :tta .

 Mrs. Willard turned away, at the same time commanding MT. Lawrence by move of her hand to wait her return. AS she ran up the stairs she had a glimpse of Miss Amy Barton in the hall above. The young lady seemed to be fully and very becomingly dressed and to have quite re- covered from her indisposition. Mrs. Will lard connected these facts with her dis covery of MT. Tom Lawrence and was ,o+ yoIJ T1Je I. hut no Y11n nnf her mind was centered upon her jewels.
 A door opened into her dressing room from the hall. It should have been fas- tened, but stood slightly ajar, and as Mrs. Willard laid her hand upon the knob portion of the lock fell upon the floor within the room. The lady was startled, but she did not run away, nor did she scream. Instead she stepped hastily into the apartment, which she beheld all in disorder.
 The brain is creature of strange ways. Mrs Willard seated in her carriage with plenty of time for reflection, could not re- member having put away her jewels; but as she stood by the door of her dressing room, her thoughts whirling like an cleo trio fan, she suddenly had perfectly clear and certain memory of the matter. It flashed upon her in the smallest part of second. She had hidden them; they might be safe She ran across the room. The little secret nook in the head of the couch was open; casl1et and jewels were gone.
 Mrs. Willard was not an excitable wom- an, and her self command in emergencies was excellent AS she descended the stairs she exhibited the calmness of a walking toy, and it was so notable that both Lawrence and the butler cried out in alarm It was the latter whom the lady addressed.
 Where have you been since I went out?" she demanded. ,<s e.s.

 He walked unsteadily toward the chair which he had previously indicated and fell Imply into it. .r..s .
 'I sat right here," he said in thick and mumbling voice, while his head toppled over upon his breast.
 Then he suddenly regained his self con- trol and got upon his feet.
 Whats wrong-what's wrong, mum ?' he cried excitedly.
 Lawrence had asked a similar question several times without getting answer, but now Mrs. Willard turned to him and said with dire calm:
 "All my diamonds are gone"
 The butler fell back into the chair as if he had been struck just below his breast bone Lawrence who had been bending forward toward the lady, strengthened his tall figure, and one might have observed that his face was much winter than ordi- nary In a few quick words Mrs. Willard told him the exact facts
 ''But-but," stammered Lawrence, "this man could see that door from here. It isn't possible'-
 "1n view of his condition''-- she began.
 "I was all right" groaned the butler. ''I was as we'll and wideawake as ever in my life till I got up to let you in. Nobody went near that door, or I'd have known it.

Best of all, this level headed brother taught Rika not to be afraid of things. Its the way General Grant said," he told her. What you are not afraid of does not hurt you. Now, don't you squeal and run off in that silly way girls have when anything comes along. That's one reason boys despise girls and tease them. Don't be ninny. If you are not afraid of dogs and boys and bunblebees and cows and drunken men and horses and bears and ghosts and snakes and firecrackers and guns and pistols and all the rest that girls run away from, they will not harm you"
 Well, you're the limit, Fred Noble!" said Mrs. Jiminy Jones, who taught her little daughters to screech and run if they saw even big gander. Did you get all these queer notions of girls out of your own head?"
 No, Mrs. Jones' replied Fred; ''I learned them from my father and mother"
 But MT. McSwinney. the school prin- cipal, said:
 "A brother like Fred Noble is worth more than $1, ,Oo0.o 600 to little girl.''

pinching her to make her cry and making fun of her Fred took time every day. to teach her to be strong and active, like 9 boy. He taught her to skate and went with her till she could glide over the ice as swiftly and as skillfully as any boy of her age. She coasted down the long hill with the best of them; yes, and she gained strength to tug her own little sled up hill again without being tired or ''winded,'' while other girls just stood about and looked on or else sought the little hill, Fred let Rika drag her own sled up hill and put her own skates on because, he said, a girl ought to be strong and active and know how to do things as well as boy.
 Fred actually taught Rika after awhile to pitch a ball and to throw a stone as straight as any boy in the vil- lage could do, though all his chums told him he couldn't.do it.
 T know better" he said. Father says we can do things because we think we can. If make Rika think she can throw a stone as straight as a boy can and make her practice as much as a boy does, I know she can do it. I'm interested in the training of girls"

The Queens Stockings.

A little story which sounds very much like one of Hans Andersen's is told of ex-Queen Margherita of Italy and little Roman girl:
 One day the queen was walking in one oI the suburbs of Rome when she noticed a pleasant looking little girl and stopped to talk with her. During the conversation her majesty asked the child what she could do in the way of needlework. T can knit stockings, si- gnora," answered the girl. Do you knew who I amp" asked the queen. "Yes, signora; you are the queen.' "Well, then, make me pair of stock ings and send them to the palace as soon as you have finished them.'
 When the stockings were sent to her. Queen Margherita in return dispatched to her pair of beautiful rose colored stockings, one of which was filled with sweets, while the other contained mon- ey. The next day her majesty received the following note from her little friend: ..
 "Signora-Your present has caused me no end of tears. My father grabbed the money, my big brother took all the sweets, and as to the stockings-why, mother put them on hetself!"

 Officer" said Tom Lawrence in that peculiar drawl of his which his friends find amusing, isn't it a little peculiar that thief should throw away the husk of his plunder while he's coming toward the scene of his crime instead of when he's running away?'
 It was then that Brice made his re- mark about the picture machine reversed
 Every thing in this case is exactly stern foremost, so far as l can see" said he, "but I'll swear that nobody has car ried those diamonds away from this house. They're here and we'll find CT. /"
 And while doctor was laboring with the unconscious Norton and Lawrence was guarding Davoll. the handcuffed prisoner, the two detectives, assisted by Mrs. Will lard and Miss Barton, searched the house from top to bottom vainly
 '.It appears" said Mrs. Willard, with a touch of sarcasm, that my jewels were stolen by thief who did not get in and that they have been carried away by some enc who hasn't gone; also that my servant was drugged in order that he might not see crime which had already been committed"
 .sWell I don't just exactly know what to make of it." said Brice, "but this fel- low that we nabbed must have had some- thing to do with it. We'll take him over to the station house and lock him up.'' l Davoll fell on his knees before Mrs. Will lard.

wNREDERIKA NOBLE was three
 years younger than her brother
 Fred, and he was fourteen.
 Fred was a lucky boy because he had been taught by his parents and the schoolmistress how to be manly and polite. He had learned that the first qualification of manly boy is to be always kind and helpful to creatures weaker than himself, especially to lit- tie girls his father said. Some boys are very unlucky because they have nobody to teach them the qualities of a manly and polite boy. Other boys do not heed the instruction when they are taught. These are the unluckiest of all.
 There was nothing of the sissy boy about Fred Noble, though. He was large and strong for his age, was not afraid of boy bigger than himself and was one of the first in the school ath- letic sports. He made himself the espe- cfal protector of animals and little girls and boys If a boy who had not had his good luck in education stoned dog or pulled girls long braid of hair and shouted after her, Our cats got long taiI!" or if he caught boy hurting a smaller fellow who could not take his

The lady, alone in her car riage, was on her way to the house of friend. with whom she intended to spend the evening. It may have been about half past o'clock.
 ''Martin," she called to the coachman suddenly, drive home again.
 The horses were hastily checked, their hoofs clattering and slipping on the fog greased asphalt of the avenue. They made cautious turn amid the press Of vehicles In the carriage Mrs. Willard was leaning forward, impatient and nerv- ous, her lips compressed, her eyes half closed. as will often be the case when one Is trying to see with the inner vision. Mrs. Willard was trying to see herself as she had been half an hour earlier; to follow her own movements in the last few minutes before she left her dressing room She could bring clearly into view jewel caslxet containing some thousands of dol- ; ,si AZ nd rrY1 hut 6 "a ( could not see Mrs. Lee Willard in the act of putting it away in the cunningly devised hiding place in Enc head of the quaint, old fashioned couch that stood by the north wall of the apartment. AS the carriage rolled along the lady became more and more firmly convinced that this precau- tion had been neglected.
 No member of the family was at home except her niece, Miss Amy Barton, who had gone to her room with a headache, and Mrs. Willard's maid would probably have joined the other servants in the rear of the house immediately after her mistress departure. The protection of the jewels, most of them heirlooms or gifts and dear beyond price to their owner would devolve wholly upon the butler whom she had stationed in the hall, and he was so new to the establishment that Mrs. Willard could not remember his name. This trivial matter of the forgot ten name haunted her all the way home as if it had expressed the entire peril of the situation.
 When the carriage drew up abreast the door, Mrs. Willard sprang out before the spry footman could offer his assistance and at that instant she deserted a dark figure hastily withdrawing into the mouth of the narrow court that ran along the north side of the house. Ordinarily the sight would not have been alarming, but the lady's nerves were somewhat strained; and so, with no clear purpose in mind, she stepped toward the court.
