Translated From the French
BY WILLIAM l.. MCPHERSON.

MOUSE - the word always
n evokes the image of a lively
~ little creature, sprightly and
also young. And, after all.
why should a mouse always seem
young?
The one of which / speak was not
young. She was big mouse. a mouse
who nibbled at other things than
crusts of bread.
This mouse was named Lea Vernes,
and she made) her way at night into
hotel rooms to rob travellers. She
was forty years old-an age which
ought to be that of wisdom, but she
had always been idle. horribly idle,
and, as every one knows, idleness is
the mother of all the vices. That il
why for twenty years Lea had been a
hotel mouse.
THAT evening she had arrived at
L the Terminus Hotel in. the city
of *. She had taken the only
vacant room, room on the sixth
floor "a floor occupied by less pros
porous people. which was hardly
good thing for her business). and she
was reading with bursts of laughter
a letter which she had just received.
This letter was from her brother,
brave and generous minded man. He
was the only one of the family who
had not called her to account, who
did not wish to guess what she was
doing, who struggled to believe her
honest He told her that he had
been appointed chief Of a depart
ment in the establishment in which
he had been working for the last hf-
teen years and that he had an excel=
lent situation for her-one OF the
best possible situations.
An excellent situation. She laughed
again. shrugged her shoulders, took
her bunch Of keys and her lamp
and consulted her watch One o'clock
struck In q neighboring belfry. Put
ting on a protective overgarnent OF
gray linen-a hotel mouse In heart
and soul-she left the room. She
was going to lay her hands in few
minutes on az much money as she
would probably have to work year
for with her honorable brother.
Tho whole floor was dark and quiet.
She began her silent work on the
door naxt to her own.
A hotel door is generally not DIM
cult to open. This one made hardly
any resistance. Slipping through the
opening. Lea listened intently. She
could hear, q man breathing with
restful regularity. She closed the
door and cut the electric light wiring.
The room was exactly like her,own-
She walked straight to the nantel-
piece, where men prefer to leave their
pocketbooks and their >jeweiry. But
the mantelpiece was bare. On the
center tabie--a new disappointment
she found only pair-of gloves and =
riding whip.
Lea began to. be ANNOYED. the
breathing continued tranquil and
regular. The sleeper surely must
have an essy Coincidence. She resum-
ed her search, examining the baggage
rack. A bar was, there--a simple bag.
