enjoyed hla company so well that I

The result of the meeting waa that

with him that I chose the same hos

This girl waa not ao especially beauti

ocean and the ship, and on the ship
I looked only at the young girl who
charmed me.
As luck -would have it a friend of

the young lady sad spoke to her. I
waa delighted. An Introduction was
assured to me. Within an hour I wa
sitting beside Miss Manning, chatting
with her.

was aa artistic temperament I had
been caught by a peculiar condition
of beauty. I did not find Miss Man

might be changed before our next

them except some dishonorable act on
my part I did not know.
I had not been separated from my
fellow trareler a week before the
chains that bound me to her began to
drop off of their own weight Then It
first occurred to me that I bad been
captivated by a peculiar beauty. I
saw so many different types of beauty
in the galleries of Italy that I suppose
I became surfeited. Still. I could not

At the bottom a light was flaabed la
my face, and a man's voice called
gruffly: t
"I want the valoables!-
I waa always a timid girl, but in
this case my mistress' condition con
quered fear. I told the man that
there waa an invalid upstairs and if
she knew be was In tbs house It would

The burglar was waiting for me. He

trying to free myself. My Joints were
very supple, and I soon slipped my
hands out of the rope, sfter which It
was no great work to free myself.
Taking up the gruel that waa on the
range, I went bark to my mistress and,
relighting the gas, gave her what she
would take of tt. Then, telling her to
try to get some sleep, I went down

the robbery to the police. Fortunately
the burglar had not had time to get
to a place of safety with his swag,
and by communicating quickly with all

captured.
The next morning when I told Harry

beside themselves with terror till I
reached the end. when Lucy sank down
Into a chnlr and Harry-well. I shall
never forget the look Harry gave me.
Just then there was a ring at the tele
phone, and the police reported that
the robber had been taken with Jewels
nd silverware.
Mrs. Woodward recovered, and the
doctor said that I had certainly ssred
her life, nrfrfy Woodward had noth

In society.' When he entered upon his
profession he married me. and I was
once more In the circle to which I be
longed and from that day to this hava
