it Wasn't a Burglar That the
Pretty Intruder Encountered.

Fress.1
Rosamond Lee walked slowly down
tbe rose bordered path to tbe tall stone
wall that loclosed tbe deserted house
next door. The owners were abroad,
and there was no prospect of their 1m
mediate return to Inhabit the Octagon
House, as It was called.
KosauionU had made many excur
sions about the neglected grounds and
dreamed many dreams beneath the no
ble trees that rose from the nnkept
turf. She bad taken toll of tbe bloom
Ing flowers aod shrubs In their sea
sons, and now she fed tbe gray squir
rels that raced np and down tbe green
branches. , .
Her family laughed at her fondness
for the Octagon House and predicted a
speedy abandonment when Mrs. Phil
lips came home again, for Mrs. Phil
lips was old and Irascible and much
feared by Rosamond since she was a
little child. :
But on this glorious September day,
when the late monthly roses were bor
dering the path with delicate sweet
ness, Rosamond, a fair, sweet rose her
self, thought little of Mrs. Phillips In
distant Berlin. The day was made for
her for ber alone and the Octagon
House!
She followed the stone wall to an in
tersecting fence which served aa a
stepping stone. In a trice she bad
jumped lightly to the soft turt of the
other side and sped swiftly across the
dappled green toward the house.
The crooked plana, wbich followed
the outline of the old house, waa cov
ered with Virginia creeper, even now
turning to brilliant scarlet and gold.
In one corner where the vines bung
low and formed a curtain were a long
wicker chair and a pile of Rosamond's
favorite booka,.

sitting half drowsy with sleep when a
step on tbe plana roused ber. Never
before had any .one trespassed on her
Chosen retreat'
She parted tbe vines and peeped
through to discover a man's tall form
bent to peer Into tbe half drawn shades
of the long windows. He- straightened
up again, and she saw that his clothes
were gray and dusty and that white
dust powdered his dark hair. He waa
mopping his forehead vigorously wltb
a handkerchief, and she noticed that
his hands were bronxed by exposure to
tne sun. - ,
That the man was a burglar Rosa
mond bad not a doubt. Her heart al
most stopped beating when he glanced
carelessly toward her vine covered re
treat before he sat down on the top
ep io iigm a pipe.
"lie's wondering how to get in,"
murmured Rosamond to herself. "If
only I were brave enough I would go
fearfully afraid of burglars, and yet tf
he should break In and steal some
Mrs. Phillips' pictures I would feat
dreadful, because I have enjoyed bet
hospitality unasked." Sbe smiled)
thoughtfully and then sat very quietly.
ITesently she dropped a book oo the
floor and runtlod out of her retreat
with a haughty expression on her
sweet face. The stranger jnmpea io
his feet aod pulled off his gray cap.
"I beg your pardon," be stammered.
"I didn't know any one was around."
Rosamond fixed him with a eolaV
stare while she mentally decided that
be was too good looking to be engaged

She lifted her pretty brows lnqutr

vacant, he stammered, knocking na
pipe agatnot the railing and stuffing K

"It la not vacant I am bere,' aaist
Rosamond bravely.
"So I er ee," with an air ot cha
grin. .
"The house Is well protected."
"I am glad of that" be said heartfly.
Rosamond imagined hia tone was)
sarcastic. "Perhaps you wished to aet
my husband," she said in a waveda
voice.
The man started violently, aad Ms
eyes forsook her face and dropped to
the ground. "Of course It wooux oe

be prevented.
She thouisht she hear awire scepa
behind her, and she renewed ber speed
toward the walL Her heart waa beat
Ing almost to suffocation aa she step
ped on a loose stone. She uttered a
terrified cry as the stone slipped ana
she fell to the ground.
Now she heard swift steps m reaiK
ty as the stranger crossed the turf aad
bent anxiously above her.
"I hope you have not hurt youraeH,"
he said gravely.
"I have spraiued my ankle," admit
ted the girl with white lips.
"What were you trying to do not to
scale the wall?
"Yes."
"Why? Was your husband vet

A red flush crept to her brows.
"Yes," she said.
"Shall 1 call him," asked the sus
