I replied,, looking at the bnihling wo vero approaching, "but a strungo position nwuy from the high road, and surrounded by villa." "A very strnngo position. Wo will rest iu the public house, mid I will toll you how it cumo to bo built iu such a very strange position. " I smiled and followed him Into the saloou bar. We sat at ono of the tables and were silent for a time, he thluklng and I watching him. "The story begius," he said present ly, "with a burglary committed by a certain Bill Jones ouo night long ago. "Bill was a youug member of his profosalonl Hitherto he had not at tempted anything Tory big, but contin ued success iu small things had made him bold. Ou this night ho broke Into the country houso of a well known ac treaa, la the hope of carrying off her jewels. "lie succeeded In getting the jewels and was leaving with them when he found Hint the slight noise he had made had attracted attcutiou. A servant girl met him at a turn of tho stairway and began to shriek. Ho rushed by her and to the window through which he had entered. As he passed through It again he heard doors being opened and knew that tho house was fully aronsed. " "I understand," I said. "Bill escap ed. Tho actress employed a detective. The detective built this public houso in an out of tho way place, hoping that Bill, na an ont of the way young in an, would call in one day for a drink. Curi ously enough, Bill did. " Blanco Watson frowned. "This is an intellectual story," he said. "It does not depend on colnci deuces. "I will contiuue. Bill avoided tbe first pursuit by a long run across coun try, and then walked toward his humo, not daring to uso the railway. He kept to tho byroads as much as possible, and at the close of the next day had reached the neighborhood of Loudon. "A spado lying inside a field gate suggested to him tbe advisability of hiding the jcwclsutil he had arranged for their sala Alter making sure that he was not observed be entered tbe field and picked up the spade. A treo of pe culiar growth stood just beyond him. In the manner of fiction, he counted 2C steps dne north from the tree and then dug a deep hole, placed the jewels in it and filled it up again. "Ho arrived home safely that night but was arrested in tbe morning. Tho servant girl had given an accurate de scription of him to the police, and they had recognized it In due course be was tried. The evi dence against him was very strong. Tho servant girl swore that he was the man she met on the stairs. Sonio of the vil lagers swore that they had seen him near the .house previous to the bur glary. He was found guilty and sen tenced to seven years' penal servitnda Bill behaved very well in prison and at the end of five years was released on a ticket of leave. He decided to wait until the ticket hod expired and then to get the jewels and leave tho country. But a day or two after his release he walked out to look at the field. "There was no field. During tbe five years he had been in prison the estate of which the field was part had been built upon.. Ho wandered about tbe houses in despair. But as he turned a corner he saw something which suggest ed hope. Behind some railings was a tree of curious growth. "It was tbe tree 20 steps due north of which be bad buried the jewels. He recognized it immediately and ran to ward it Again he was in despair. A yard or two north of the tree was a chapel, and the jewels were under the cbapeL He leaned against the railings, covering his face with his bands. "It happened presently that tbe head deacon of the chapel, a kindly old man, came down tbe road. He saw Bill stand ing like one in trouble and stopped and asked what was the matter and whethci he could htilp. For a few moments Bill did not know what to reply, but then be spoke welL He said that once he bad boen a burglar, but that he had learned in prison that burglary is wrong ; that now he was trying to live an honest life, but that as be had no friends it was not easy. The old man was touched. He had found Bill leaning against the chapel railings, and Bill bad said that he bad no frienda Was it not his dnty as head deacon of the chapel to be a friend to Bill? Clearly it was. "He took Bill home with him. Ho was a bachelor, and there was no one tc restrain his benevolence. They bad sup per and talked together.
