Pyusser

NV real name is Richard Brown, but
for. various reasons / have been going
under the assumed name of Robert
Smith. 1t was some time in the early
part of autumn when received let
teri from an agency in nearby town,
requesting me to come to them imme-
diately for private interview.
The matter they wished to see me
upon was of peculiar texture. / wal
told there lived family on the out
skirts Of a certain Maryland town BY
the name of Lape, who were quite
wealthy. And there was concealed in
their house an opal of immense value
not only because Of its rareness; but be-
cause Of an historical circumstance at
tached to it.
This agency wished me to 60 upon q
mission of getting this opal. OF course
this was robbery, but, in way, that
was my profession, and I was only too
glad Of the chance to earn the money
attached to securing the stone.
The agency had already secured 9
position for me in the employ Of thi.
family was to act as private secre
tary for Mr.. Lape. With everything
outlined so carefully for me, 1 was anx
ious to get to work-money was what
I wanted.
A few days later found me mounting
the steps to the great house in which
the family lived. 1 discovered tn.
house to be situated quite little dis
lance from the city and not another
house was within perhaps mile. How
ever the large meadows, the fairly good
sized orchard, the family garden, tn,
immense shade trees around the house
and many more similar objects, pointed
to the fact that this place must be al
old home, probably started long before
the Civil War period. The house wa
old, yet certain air Of neatness abou
everything gave the house an excellen
appearance. In the front was a larg,
veranda, from which extended great pill
lars unfolding second porch for an
other story Of the house. A good sup
DIV Of windows showed the house T.
be well lighted. In all, considering
the white color, there stood before m
an old mansion.
