"A key?" asked Mr.. Perkins.
"No, no, a bag. At any rate, she couldn't
get it open. She sent for a looksmith.
He fused and fused, but couldn't open it,
and he made her nervous by asking her
over and over il she was sure twas her
trunk. She was thinking all the time Of
the burglar. I've told her over and over
again not to cook her beef so long. It's
like chips. 1t doesn't seem to do the least
good. He said he'd have to break 1t open.
He never knew o trunk that he couldn't

Il never did, either" said Mr.. Perkins.
AT least I never heard Of one that opened
behind"
Il don't know what you mean," said Mrs.
Perkins. my; what poor gas! Well ave
to have candles. That frightened her.
She was almost sure that the burglar was
in there. She wanted to send for the police.
But the looksmith kept at work. She
couldn't bear to think what might be in it.
She didn't want to stay and see it opened.
She was bound to leave the room and was
Just going to ask the locksmith. Do you

q dozen plants outside. But he told her
he'd look in first. Finally, he managed to
turn the look. No, no, don't open it, said
she. Peek in first anyhowp So he raised
the lid Just a little and said-Mary, take
Mr.. Perkins's plate; don't you see he's
done with it2 And he said-How awkward
you arel Didn't they teach you better at
your last place? Well-oh, where was II

-The burglar, Of COURSE said Mr..
Perkins.
"oh, how can you speak out like thatf"

worse than a burglar"
"Worse'n a burglarl" exclaimed her hus-

"She was 80 frightened she was going

aWhy, there wasn't one Of the things she

why the key wouldn't At. But she's hardly
had a decent nights rest since, thinking
Of what might AVE been in it, and the

rover escape in her life, except when she
missed the steamer by only five minutes
And what happened to that2 Founder
