When I got home I tosaed It Into a

out with it. I ohu1 It to put iu some
samples, I waa surprised to flud lu It
purs containing $20, a fw snuiplea
ana t letter, the envelope of which
was missing. Kager to learu what
these things moaut, I read the letter. It
ran:
fear JUiie-ueet ma Thursday after
noon at ine northeast angle of tho
open square. I shall dUculas nilf as

woman, aiary aoesn t auspect anything-.
I was petrlfltM with horror. I was

writing was disguised, but the longer
I looked at It the more I waa convinced
that tt waa a bad attempt to conceal
the hand of Gilbert Merrltuau. 1 glnuc-

through which I eonld see, but not be
recognlxed. I concluded to alt on one
of the benches and wait Several
women came hi, but they were all
young and passed on. Five mluutea
befor the appointed time an old worn
an came by with a basket of applca
on her arm. As ahe passed mo I ask
ea If he would sell me one. She held
out her basket for me to choose, but
did not speak. I looked Into her face
and felt sure that I had caught my
niro.
"Julier I asked.
She gave a repressed shriek.
"You aud Gilbert are mistaken In
thinking Mary does not suspect. You
must have lost Gilbert's letter, for
Mary has it aud will be here-pThiiiM
is here now-to expose you. A gxm
as be conies both of you follow me. I
will take you to a place where you
can confer In safety."
"Pear, dear woman, how kind you
arc! There he la now. I'll go and tell
him"
An old man, much bent and leaning
heavily on bla cane, came in at a side
entrance to the aquare, and the old
woman haatened toward blm. They
tood talking excitedly, the man look
ing at me with evident suspicion. The
woman waa apparently begging hint
to an as i naa suggested, but ne ap
peared to be of a different mind. A
policeman happened to stroll by, and
the man called to him and said some
thing to him, and they both started for
me, followed by the woman.
I began to be frightened.
When they reached me the old man
called to "Julie" to come forward.
"I that your bag?" he aaked.
"Heavens, yea! I didn't notice it be
fore"
In my excitement at my discovery of
the letter on leaving the bouse I had
snatched up the bag with Its contents,
and there It was banging to my wrist
I The old man took It from me and
! opened It
' "Here's your property," be said to
1 the woman, "and here's the thief. Take
her along, policeman."
"Not unless you'll agree to appear
against her."
The man promised, glvlmj h! nnme
and addre. I was tort led to hour
hltn say not Gilbert Merrinian, but
George Gilbert. The policeman took
the '.mff and Its contents and great
heatviiK: murehed me to- the police
station.
The only person in tho world on
whom I could rely to help me out of
the scrape was Gilbert Mcrrlman. I
vowed that I Would bo tried and con
victed as a thief rather than send for
blm. Indeed, they took me to the veiy
door of a cell before I succumbed.
One look inalde the horrid place was
enough.
"Walt," I said. "I'll send for a
friend."
They took me back to the office, gave
me pencil and paper, and I wrote a
note to Gilbert begging him to come
to me at once. Tbe messenger was a
long while finding blm, and when he
came I was ready to collapse. I nev
er ehall forget the look of pained won

Yesterday I changed bags while shop

was a note In the bait I picked up

He went to the desk and explained
the matter to the inspector. Then h(
returned to me and led me out, ever?

Gilbert waa perfectly lovely to me
about the matter, never referring to It

There waa a pleutiful sorlnkllna of

heads very high among Uie plainer
young men wno were soon to meet
them at Coueord, Lexington and Bun

place, the bride and groom were re-
reiving congratulations, and the negro
cooks In the kitchen were bringing In
the supiN-r. Suddenly every candle was
extinguished, and there was a commo
tion, amid which voice cried:
Itrlde tea lent!"
'The bride haa been stolen!"
"Mount!"
'They're galloping away!"
There was n cluttering of horses'
hoofs, growing fainter lu the dlHtanee.

standing, u:td a number of the men,
headed by the bride'a father and her
