One of thefo was a I Ininlo l.orniine, turn he twoen a Saturday eveiiine; mid llinful lowinp Sunday' morning il was eut from the friinm and removed. I was sent for, and the task of d Meoveriiijf tho thief or lliieve-i was imposed upon Tne. The picture was linn;; the kccoiiiI from the ent ranee to the gallery on tho left hand side. O.i the Saturday even inj; the lu to lun-i If, lU'eompanied hy hlssccictniy. went through tho gallery, ami r-poko of mime nlleiatious which ho coiiteiniilated. Tho very picture was specially alluded to us one that ouejit to he removed to a hetler li'lit. The pillory was locked and the keys were deposited in the lhike's desk in tho library. Tho following Mondav oveninj! the 1'uke aplin veiled the pil lerv, and tho lii-t tliinjj which l rm-k hm eve was the emiilv frame. Tho Iukovery wisclvcommuu'u'alcd the fact of the theft to no one tint 1 he saw tne. 1 found that tho only person who could have had access to th. keys of the gal lery was tho M'orolarv, Mr. Stanley. "The luko told me he was the son of his old tutor, and an exemplary young man. He was the sole support o( Ins mother and sister, who lived on Ar cvlo S iuaro, Loudon. "At d liner that night I took a pod look at Mr. Mauley. I hero was something about his, wins 1 did not like. Though 1 was introduced as a lawyer front Loudon, come to consult with the luko on Important liusi ness, I could see that Mr. Stan ley regarded mo with what seemed to mo suspicion. A a Iran go misgiving respecting Mr. Stan ley was floating in my mind. After ilinncr no engageu me m conversation, tfttvintr that he was intended for tho lo cal profits On, hut had taken orders instead only to find that a lirouchial li Heel ion from which ho sull'ered was to iroelude his ever speaking in plll'lio. "A th ng occurred which was just what 1 could have wished. Tho luko suggested that he and 1 should ictiro to the library, and roiuoted Mr. Stan ley to light tho lamps in tho library, Hildmg that he should not reipiiro his orvic'cs again that night. The thought at ruck me nt once that Mr. Stanley would be anxious to know w hat tho luko and 1 were to talk about. Some thing scorned to sav to me, "lie is tho fuilty man - he will w ait and hide and h'.en.' Tliis th n ;s.lil!id na thought that 1 heard n 'th tig the lhtke was Kiting, until ho n u.id mo by inviting mo t.i the 1 brnrv. It was a largo room, with two screens and a door in the further corner. 1 already knew that the door I' d to a small study, from which private stairs a-eoudod to th'1 floor abo c. The door was ajar, and 1 w.is as certain that Mr. Stanley was on the o'.her side of it as though 1 saw him t.iere. Purposely I spoko in ft full, d st net vo.ee, so that he could not fad to hear if ho wen' listening. I had Already made up my mind what to say nd do. "The luko handed mo a rgar and took one himself, and wo smoked. After some conversation. I said: " 'I have made a very important dis covery, which may lead to tho detec t on (if tho th.ef.' " 'Indeed. ' said I ho Huke; 'what is ur " On tho door of the picture pillory 1 have d scoyerod the mark of a hand A nian'a hand,' 1 said " 'That i a poor clew.' said the Duke, la il not?' " 'Not so poor in thin instance,' 1 re plied; 'for tlic lingors and the palm of the hand are no clearly marked that I qan Infallibly tell tne hand that left the imprint, if one I ; it.' " '"'hat is remarkable,' t'ii'! ili- Duke. 41 'Now, what I want ithis.' I r.a's?. 'I .Hint to examinn the left iian I n every person who wan in this dwelling b.'Uvce!) that Saturday night and the Monday following.' " 'Vou shall do so,' the Duke said, after a pnuse. "Then the thought struck me that if Mr. Stanley were listening, as I " ho was, ho would at once iptit his post by tho private stirr. and very likely de scend to the main hall and take a glanoo lit the door of the picture gallery. I stepp.'d to the library door and opened il. Jt was immed itlely opposit i to the door of tho gallery, which was in tho shade. "I had hardly oponod the door when Mr. Stanley descended the stair and walked across the hall, glancing at the gallery door as he did so. I Had no fear that he would go near tho door, for members of tho family and aerv anU were ua-sing and repassing all thw time, and, moreover, a porter and two servant-men were in charge of the hall. "After a few m'nutcs' further talk with the Duke, during w hich ho assured me I ahould have his help in any scheme I proposed. I uitted the library ftnd wont toward mv own apartment. On the way I met Mr. Stanley, and on tho spur of the moment I invited him to mv room, savimr that 1 had some goon cognac and cigars, lie iiceeptod, and we sat lalk ng together until nearly midnight. Then ho bade mo good night ami went to ins own room, i stoo l in the corridor and saw h m en ter. I put on a pair of list sl.ppers, prepared n dark lantern, and waited until the last sound should die away in tho palace. "This was my idea; if Mr. Stanley was the L'uiltv man ho had hidden him self in tin; room of the library, and overheard what I had sum; mid woiilil, certainly dur ng tho night, find an op portunity to visit tho gallery itoor, ex iiniino it for tho linger-tnarks and oh literato them. It must bo my business to watch and identify him; ami. for thin purpose. I had resolved to take up a position in tho hall, behind one of tho pillars of tho stairs, where 1 could see all that passed lor a lamp niirnon an night -mid at tlio same nine u -com lilelely concealed. "As soon as all was uuiot I opened my door. Tho cursed key gntt 'd in tho lock. As I stepped into the corridor I heard the rush of hasiy feet, and tho sound stopped just w here 1 knew the door of Mr. Stanley s Mom to no. 1 felt that I hail disturbed him on his way to remove the linger-inarks, that he would not attempt any thing more that liiirht. and so I went to b 'd. "Of course I need not tell you that the story about the linger-inarks was nil bo h". I invented it on the spur of the moment to decoy Mr. Stanley, and 1 should have succeeded but for tho grating key. Since then, thelirst thing 1 do when I am in luis ncss is to on the lock nod handle mid hinges of my door. "Next morning I h 'itrd that Mr, Stanley said he had received tint ce of his mother's serious illness, an I that ho was going to London hy Ihe eleven o'clock train. I went to my room, shaved oil' my beard, and dressed my self as a clergyman. When I showed myself to the Duke he thought, some digti'tarv of the church came to visit him. When I disclosed myself, he was rrcatly astoti'shed and then amused, told him 1 might b" way for a few dins. How about the marks on the door?' "'Thcv have faded out.' I rcpl ed. "I walked from the tialac to tho town on a street of w hich the main gales open, and luring a can was driven to the station. Soon Mr. Stan ley arrited in a drag. We took the tra n and traveled to London together, though not in the same carriage. Why d iln t I arrest hint at oticc! Oh, that would never have done. He might have sent the picture away. It was a most unlikely thing that ho had kept it about him. I wanted to get him with the picture in his possoss'on. On reaclrng London I followed hint to No. ArgN lo Siptaro. After a short stay there, lie went lo (ireat Oueen street mil. entered a bailer's shop, in the r.'ar of which a mail was at work. In the meant itno, 1 must tell vou, 1 had tele graphed for my assistant, and we met before I ipiitted Argyh' Square, and ho accompanied me to titviil l.ii 'cu street After Mr. Stanley pi tied the hatter's mv assistant took liim in cliarg.', and 1 wont into the hatter's and got meas ured for a new tile in regular clerical shape. " '1 never made a hat for a dean be fore.' sad the man, 'though I have made some curiously-shaped ones.' "After unite a long talk 1 said: "Po you happen to know where 1 can buy any valuable old pictures or coins?' " "Iird, no sir. tip' man said, in un mistakable iit on Mi men t. Oh, well,' 1 said, 'excuse mo, but I thought 1 saw a well-known picture dealer in your shop just before 1 en tered. "What, that voting man?' lie ex cla'nii'd; 'I don t know what he is, but I do know be ordered the funtrct hat 1 ever heard of.' " 'Indeed.' sa d I. 'what is it like!" "'Well.' was the answer, M's to be nn inch higher than ordinary and be double, l irst of all, there's to be a hat shaped this way.' And he drew on a piece of paper a figure, thus: " 'Now,' said he, 'in that there to bo tho entire hat. w hich is to tit tho broadest part, and have round tho bot tom, next the brim, the hat-band; so that there is to be a space U tween the inside ami the outside for three-fourths of its height, and tho outside is to In' movable, so that ho can take it olV and put it on as ho desires.' 'What is the object of it?' I asked "That's nonn of mv Imsinos,' ho replied; 'ho pays mo a good price for it, and that all 1 care alout. "I went nwav, thinking about the new-f.t.shioned hat. What did it moan? If Stanley had got xssesion of the picture it was worth a small fortune to h'tii.

I took it home, foi. b d it and found that it would Just ub ut lit into the space which was to be lo't between the false inside and the out Hide of Mr. Stanley's new hat. '1 have got yo i, my gentleman,' I said to my self. "Well to make a long story short, the hat went homo at the time agreed upon, and Mr. Stanley did not leave his house until next morning at n ne o'clock. Then ho was dressed for traveling, attired in scrupulous clerical garb and wearing the new hut. I was now dressed as an ordinary gentleman, but so lixed up as to defy detection. I had a cab wa ting nt hand, and when he got into his cab and drove to the London Ilridge Station, I followed. He was off for the ( out nent: I felt that; go ng to Par s to get rid of the swag. When we reached I ho Crown Hotel at Dover both of us went int the coffee-room and ord T 'd break fast. Stanley hung up his overcoat and his new hat nbove it. We both n'e a hearty meal, as the boat d d not start for Calais for two hours. The time was growing short for mo if 1 tneunl to do hii thing, and ct 1 hard ly knew how to go about il. I have al ways been aeeustom"d towalcli for op portunities and to use circumstances as they occur. I had great luck in such matters before, and it did not fail me now. "A gentleman whose hat and coat were hnnirinir near to Stanley's, in re moving them knocked down Stanley's hut. 1 picked it up instantly, and. with one hand inside, ami the other out. had un opportunity to feel it. It was heavy and there was something between the false insid t and the out sidu. Mr. Stanley rose hastily, took his hat from my hand, rubbed it with his sleeve, and 'replaced it on the peg. Then ho thanked me for lifting it from the lloor. I looked him sipiare in the face; and said: "Mr. Stanley, that's not the same hat you wore when I met you recently at the Duke of 's.' "Ho turned deadly pale and gasped for breath. I saw I ha I my man. " 'Coino. said I. there nee.

Tlia Btory of the "Van Na War," or tilt Yi'omao or th storm. Storm legends are common in all old countries, especially near the sea coast, dad some of the oldest among them aro often blended ill little ilielden-s of c nil- paratively recent Ant: For instance, the Irish legends nf the Shan Hino. or old storm probably th" line storm - which arc said to bo even more na.r- 1ft ng than the tales of the ban-hee. are now idcnliliod with the yarns oi Van na H'ac. or woman o' th' storm. All the dreadful things tint' are t ild of thi-i strange lady have their foundation iu a simple and 'sad 1 ttle story, wh cli plainly shows how old and fadol lo fronds' may be restored by tho artists in superstition, who trace fantastic shad ow from commonplace things, sk 11 fully touch their outlines U suit the exigencies of time and locality, and ex hibit them to the best advantage in the doubtful light of tho peasant's fireside. Tho Van na K ac was a native of the mountains of Wicklow. whore she was called Moll of the Storm, or M id Moll. Her (iaelie t tie came to her from oth ;r count et wh n she had never been. She was a voting widow, and, of course, like all toting w dows, wni beaut f il. At all' events, sh was re markable for h r How n r raven hair, which turned wh to rut'ier sudd-nly. Sho had one chtl I. a I ttl t boy, whom she idolio I. O.io even.ng n some nu nc ountalil mau ier th endd strayed away fro n hoin Tho mother started out to look lor h m. It was a dreary evcii'ng in the fall, and a storm was ttppriachiiig. The woman wandered about iu Ihe woods, call ng the child. Si o t the tempest burst upon her in n.l its fury. In terror she ran to the near est neighbors and called upon th m to aid her in nor sriiren ior urn rain. They did so, but no trace of tha little one could be found. For three days and throe nights the wind blew ticrcely and the rain 'came down in torrents. During all this the mother kept up the fru tless search, until at length she fell down exhausted and was carried to the nearest cabin, where she was kindly cared for, and where it was soon dis covered that she had became insane. A few years rolled on. Moll was now remarkable for her white hair. Her insanity was of a harmless type. In ordinary weather she could bo in duced to 'spin or knit, but with tho first blast of un approaching storm sho would rise from her spinning wheel, listen intently for ft nnmoiit. and then rush off to commence once more her mad search for the child. She knew no fear and would climb the steepest hills and bound from rock to rock in the most dangerous places, surc-footod ns a goat. And often in the dead of night her shrill voice, made powerful by long practice, could be heard in the woods and on the hills, ever calling the lost boy. For years her vigorous frame bore all the sho -ks of thiMiiartyrilom that had broken her mind, until' at long h even the angry Shan Kine took compassion on her, and carrying her from an overhanging rock on the coast, dropped her into tho sea, where her long search w as end d. Some, time afterward wo -km n em ployed in removing brushwood in a swampy place not far from where sho had lived canto upon the skeleton of a child, doubtless the bones of the baby of Moll of the Storm. Hut many of the peasants shook their heads, and refused to believe that tho little bones were the remains sought for, since Moll's child had years before been car ried away by the fairies; and in time the report began to bo circulated that on windy nights the ghost of Moll traveled with tne storm, there were few among the peasantry and lishermen who did not know somel o ly who had seen her with fluttering gar ments and her long w h to hair waving in thu wind, just as she bad been seen in life, wh lo most of them thought that they had often heard her voice. (host stories travel far and wide with amazing rapid ty. It did not take long for Moll of the Storm to be dreaded iu other counties far from Wicklow, arid iu due time sho became tho loading lady in the legends of the Shan Kino, w th the title of Van na Kiao. She is not always represented as tt very bad or vicious kind of ghost, but, it is considered very unlucky cither to hear or see her. In tlrs respect she is like her sister, the banished, and is just about as welcoiii.' to tho peasantry. In tho howling of the wind old women can hear her voice, and in the nioan ngof tho sea old salts can hoar her calls at least they have said so a tho is ind times around the turf lire of the small farmers' homes, where her story is told with variations inspired by the ever changing miliers that illustrate it.
