CAUGHT IN .HIS OWN TRAP B EUZEEETH BOND Copjrrlght. 1910. by American Pre Association. Jennie Dwyer. baring but two week" vacation from br duties in the office where sbe wa employed and having to take them after everybody else In the concern bad been accommodated, was obliged to wait till autumn for her outing. Then sbe went Into tbe country, stopping at a farmhouse not for from a village. Jennie's was one of those many cases where a girl brought up In com fort finds herself obliged to get on as best sbe can. So long as ber father lived there was a-plenty, but. nothing being laid up when be died, bis in come ceased; consequently Jennie, who bad the refinement of a lady, was obliged to work like any other poor person. 1 Jennie's chief recreation on her va cation was taking long walks.. There was a handsome place on one of ber routes wblcb. reminded ber of one sbe bad lived in when she was a little glrL Her father bad then been rich and surrounded his family not "only with comforts, but with luxuries. . This place wblcb attracted ber attention ap peared to be vacant except for a caretaker and bis wife, who lived In cottage on tbe premises, now Jen nie longed to enter and stroll about over the pleasant grass and In among tbe trees and tbe flower garden! Being a timid little thing, sbe was a long lime screwing up ner courage to ao so. 8h satisfied herself that there was no dog on the place and found that there were some loose pickets In the fence at a distance from tbe house where sbe might enter unobserved. , Bo one morning when the air was fresh and crisp sbe pushed the pickets aside and timidly advanced, keeping at a safe distance from "the house. But there is always something to tempt a lawbreaker, and Jennie saw In the ear- den certain flowers of a hardy nature that bad not yet succumbed to the early autumn cold snaps. She dearly loved flowers, and from the trees she cast covetous eyes on these, wblcb were rather too near the house for her to safely poach. Ilowever, there was not a person fn sight, and, leaving cov er, she started for the garden, but halt ingly, stopping now and again to make sure do one was observing her. ; Though she did not know It, some one was observing ber. Tom Mary weather, the son and heir of the owner of the place, a graceless scamp, had come down from town to get a gun be had left there, and at the moment tbe girl was advancing on the flower gar den be was standing back out of view looking at ber through a window. Ue had bis gun in his hand,' being about to carry it downstairs. lie waited while Jennie hesitatingly movpd on tbe garden, cast a final distrustful look at tbe bouse, then began to appropriate the flowers. Tom. being of an artistic turn of mind, was iplte enraptured with tbe scene of a shy 11 o fond of flowers that sbe could not resist the temptation to steal them on this beau tiful autumn day. lie was also dra matically disposed and wondered what kind of scene would result If be were to adopt measures usual with poach ers. I Presently, when Jenule stopped to take another furtive glance at tbe bouse. Tom. advancing to tbe window, gun in band, cried : "Stand, you robber !" Jennie did stand, though ft was alt she could do to keep her legs, while one by one the flowers sbe had plucked dropped from her hand. Tom was not near enough to discern" the terror he had Inspired, so he proceeded further: "Don't you know," he cried in a sten torian voice, "that tbe wages of sin is death r There was no reply to this. ' f ' Suddenly Tom discovered that he was playing with firearms with a vengeance. Jennie, taking the realistic scene In earnest.' collapsed. Tom saw ber stagger sldewlse, then sink down In a heap Jumping ont of tbe window, he land ed on an.' extension roof, from there dropped to the ground and ran like a deer for tbe girl.. When Jennie recovered conscious ness she found herself in tbe arms of a man who was looking into ber face eager to know whether he had killed ber. Seeing ber open her eyes and look straight at blm. a great relief came into his eyes. Be was about to cover ber face with kisses when he remembered that be bad not even been introduced to ber. But be did not con sider ber sufficiently recovered to stand alone. At any rate, be held on J he" con versed la German. French. TJun- 'canaD ana naiiaa.
