That winter was a gay one In our
set In town, and after attending nu-
merous entertainments at the homes OF
our friends we concluded to return the
civllltles by giving n masked ball. Our
house was lighted with thousand
CANDLES, and the costumes of the
guests were OF the richest and widest
variety. One of the gentlemen person
ated a highwayman, wearing a brace
Of pistols in his belt. with an ugly
looking knife to match. He came up
to me and asked me to dance. The
moment he spoke l recognized the
man who had robbed us on the road
from London.
l permitted him to lead me in the
minute. He danced so gracefully, his
figure was so symmetrical, he was SO
courtly In his manner that every one
noticed him. When the dance was
finished he led me away to a widow
where we stood partly screened behind
the curtains. Then he handed me my
fathers snuffbox.

asked.

you again." he replied.

Despite the danger he ran, we talked
together so continuously that we began
to excite attention. A strange happi-
mes thrilled me. This fascinating high
wayman had caught the fancy Of a
young girl naturally full of romance.
and to know that he was risking his
life to be with me was supremacy de
lightful. l feared for him, but could
not bear to let him go. Finally, saw
my father coming toward us with
flashing eyes. l knew by the way he
looked at my companion that he had
got some clew to his identity. We

The FIRST three days Of Mrs. Borrow's

In the city-why, no one except ser

Mrs. Borrow's little w1nkled fingers

been her favorite pattern.

she pleaded.
"Of course they are" Gertrude con-

nobody thinks of wearing them"
Mrs. Borrow sighed. Gertrude coulu

little laugh, 'twould take a real up

Gertrude smiled at that-she was a
splendid manager.
The next morning. when Mrs. Bor-
row went for a fresh apron, there was
none In her drawer. She hunted
through all the drawers-not an apron.
For long while she stood looking
thoughtfully at picture which she did
not see. When the breakfast-bell rang,
she went downstairs smiling and UNI

down at her apronless dress, she start

she remembered.
1t happened to be Gertrude's day for
her French class, so that she was
away all the morning. When she re-
turned, the two had harmonious
luncheon together, and then went to
the library, Gertrude for book and
Mrs. Borrow for her knitting. which
she had left there. Presently Ger
trude. who had been hunting about
the room, stopped in perplexlty.

asked, placidly.

the difference in this early part of the
nineteenth century, when Mr.. Stephen

we met one Of those gentlemen. We
were passing lonely part of the road
in the dusk OF the evening, when we
heard an order to the coachman to
stop. A masked man rode up to the
coach window holding pistol in our
faces and demanding our valuables.
His voice was soft and musical, and
his hand was white and shapely, and
noticed that the lace that fell over
II was of the finest texture.
Ny father had but little money with
him. but he did have a valuable snuff
box that had been presented him by
the king himself. He told the high
wayman that II he would send 1t to
our house In York his messenger
should receive five times its value and
no questions asked. The robber scarce
ly seemed to hear him. so intent was
he upon me, not the wrinKled old WON

as blue an eye, as golden head OF
hair as any girl I'm England.
