Rosie sat up then, and smiled.
I was coming up the drive" she
began.
You must start with when you
went down the drive, with my dishes

seeing more signs Of hysteria, / gave
in. Very well. You were coming up
the drive"
Il had q basket of-of silver and
dishes on my arm. and I was carrying
the plate, because-because I was
afraid I'd break 1t. PARKWAY up the
road q man stepped out of the bushes,
and held his arm like this, spread out,
SO / couldn't get past. He said-he
said-Not 50 fast, young lady; /
want o to let me see what's in that
basket"
She got up in her excitement and
took hold of my arm.
1T was like this, Miss rnnes," she
said, "and say you was the man.
When he said that, / screamed and
ducked under his arm like this. He
caught at the basket and / dropped it.
/ ran as fast as / could, and he came
after as far as the trees. Then he
stopped. Oh, Miss Innes, 1t must have
been the man that killed that Mr..
Armstrong;"
Don't be foolish" I said. who
ever killed Mr.. Armstrong would put
as much space between himself and
this house as he could. Go up to bed
now; and mind, If l hear of this story
being repeated to the other maids, I
shall deduct from your wages for
every broken dish / find in the drive"
/ could fancy Liddy's lace when she
missed the extra pieces of china-she
had opposed Rosie from the start. If
Lsacy once finds a prophecy fulfilled,
especially an unpleasant one, she
never allows me to forget 1t. 1t
seemed to me that it was absurd to
leave that china dotted along the road
for her to spy the next morning; SO
with a sudden resolution, l opened the
door again and stepped out into the
darkness. AS the door closed behind
me / half regretted my impulse; then
/ shut my teeth and went on.

ute or two In the darkness enabled
me to see things fairly well. Beulah
gave me rather a start by rubbing In
expectedly against my feet; then we
two, side by side, went down the
drive.
There were no fragments OF china,
but where the grove began / picked
up q silver spoon. So far Rosie's
story was borne out; / began to won
der If 1t not ~indiscreet. to say
the least, this midnight prowling in
a neighborhood with such a deserved
ly bad reputation. Then / saw some
thing cleaning, which proved to be
the handle of q cup, and q step or
two farther On I found a V-shaped bit
Of plate. But the most surprising
thing Of all was to find the basket sit
ting comfortably beside the road. with
the rest Of the broken crockery piled
neatly within, and a handful of small
silver, spoons. forks and the like, on
top! / could only stand and stare.
Then Rosie's story was true. But
where had Rosie carried her basket?
And why had the thief. ii he we're a
thief, picked up the broken china out
Of the road and left it with his
booty?

RYE BREAD NUTRITIOUS.
English Medical Journal Pronounces
Il Excellent Dict.


A curious fallacy has been going
the rounds to the effect that the term
"black bread" implies a kind of fam
inc food, whereas i'm several civilized
countries il is just as much the staple
and normal article of diet as Is our
white loaf. There is very little differ
ence between the nutritive value of the
wheat and the rye loaf. In some re-
spects rye presents certain advantages
over wheat. and in others wheat may
be better than rye. Rye contains
a rather greater percentage of soluble
carbohydrates than wheat, but some
what less gluten. although the total
protein matters amount to the same
I'm both flours. Chemical analysis
shows very trifling differences of COM
position between the two cereals.
one distinct advantage Of rye brea
is that it keeps fresh Longer than
wheat bread. Rye bread also has dis
tinct laxative properties. Pumper-
nickel or whole rye bread Is more
laxative than schwarzbrod, possibly
on account of its relative coarseness
Of texture. It is an interesting fact
that when once the flavor OF rye
broad is appreciated ordinary white
bread seems monotonous, because oil
