Trcachery In the Household.
The maid stole into the house, won
dering il she had been seen. she
wanted to be loyal to this girl, but
she WIS tired of the life; she wanted
10 be her own mistress, and the small
fortune offered herwould put her on
the way to realize her ambition. What
had she not seen and been Of life since
she joined the great detectives force!
Lady's maid, cook ship stewardess,
flash woman, actress, clerk, and a
dozen other employments. Her pay,
until she secured some fat reward,
was but twelve hundred the year; and
here was five thousand in advance,
with the promise OF five thousand
more the minute her work was done.
And 1t was simple work, without any
real harm toward Florence as far as
she was concerned. The whole thing
rested upon one difficulty would

One day Florence found Susan sit

! Jones was not prepared for treach-
cry in his own household; so when he
heard that a doctor had ben called TO
attend Susan he was without the least
suspicion that he had been betrayed.
More than this, there had been no
occasion to summon q sdoctor in the
seven years Mr.. Hargreave had lived
here. So Jones went about his petty
household affairs without more
thought upon the matter. The maid
had been recommended to him as one
of the shrewdest young women in the
detective business.
The doctor arrived. He was a real
doctor; no doubt Of that. He inves-
