-A Trapper
& rapped
It was t o'clock on an uuturm
evening. The streets of lirmin
Imin were swept with rain. 1 had
tad a tolerably successful day, and
there repo.-cd in my pockets the
nun of I'.'O, which 1 had collected
from my lirm's customers. Having
nothing particular to do, and the
torrents i f rain absolutely prohibit-i
ing all open air enjoyment, 1 went to '
the hold 1 was staying at. and, al-'
though I had already drunk during
the afternoon more than 1 ought
and much more than 1 needed, Jj
called for a further supply of bran
dy and while sipping it was joined
by a stranger, who seemed eager to 'p
enter into conversation with me.
Nothing backward and with!
tongue fairly set a-wagging, I talk-!
o.l -r mi. I I twili.ivo ill it l..f.ir.i i
many moments he had ascertained
that I hail i'VO belonging to my em
ployer in my possession.
The brandy finished, nothing
would satt.ofy my new found friend
but that he should take me to the
theater, where the well known play
of "Drink" was being performed.
I rememlN.T well how, half tipsy us I
was, 1 shuddered at the reali.-iie por
traiture by one of the artists of n
victim to delirium trenan.-. I re
member how the horrors of drink
were delineated and was sane
enough to emark to my companion:
"Bosh! They are overdrawing j
it." !
"Certainlv," he replied, "thev art!
overdrawing it. Hut it's only a
play. Tlr.'re are drinking bars here;
they are a reality. Come, let's go
and get something."
So we went and "got something,"
and. to cut a long story snort, wkcnj
1 left the theater leaning on tt.e;
arm of my friend 1 was helplessly
intoxicated. !
The next thing I knew was this:!
The rain clouds had rolled away, and j
fitful gleams of moonlight revealed j
to me the fact that 1 was in a
strange room, lying on a strange'
bed. Two o'clock chimed out from j
a neighboring steeple. Sobered with
fright, I raised myself, and then,
quick as a lightning flash, came the
thought f'ny money! My clothes
were thrown across the bottom of
the bed. I searched the trousers
pocket. The gold was there.
Then I heard voices in soft con
versation coming up from below.
Noiselessly I opened the bedroom
door and listened.
"Sure he's all serene?" queried
one voice, to which another respond
ed, "lie won't wake till ti at the cur
liest." "Very good," said the first voice.
"Mind, if he wakes while you're do
ing it" The sentence was punctu
ated by the unmistakable click of a
pistol, and I shivered not from
cold.
"And at C or 7 or whenever he
does wake," continued the voice,
"tell him you picked him up drunk
in the street and carried him in
here out of compassion for safety,
and you will easily convince him
that he was robbed out of doors.
But, mind, I have done my part in
plying him with drink and in decoy
ing him here. See you do yours in
gracefully relieving the poor fool of
his 20."
Here a step on the stairs warned
me to close the door, and I got back
to bed. Hearing the knob of the
door turn, I began to breathe heav
ily after the fashion of a drunken
man, and the next instant, shading
the candle with his hand, there ap
peared the form of a strange man,
who was soon peering fixedly into
my face.
Satisfied apparently with his ex
amination, my visitor seached my
Dockets, pounced upon the gold, of
course, and quickly transferred it
from its erstwhile resting place to
where do you guess? Jle went to a
birdcage, which now for the fii'.-t
'Jme J observed hanging up, drew
out its sliding door, quietly emptied
my gold into it, replaced the slide
and undressed and lay down beside
me. Jle was soon asleep, and hope
f prang up within me; but, alas, of
all the light sleepers he was the
lightest I ever knew! Whenever i
moved lie appeared to be on the
alert. It was impossible to crawl
out of bed without his beicg con
scious of the fact. Besides, under
his pillow 1 knew was the pistol,
and, in despair, I had reluctantly to
rest on as calm and unconcerned a
I possibly could,
ill wakeful I piiHsed that horrible
night, ami the slow hours (Irajjyjcil
on interminnlilv. Ihit nt length n
project presented itself to tnv now
sharpened pcum's, whir It project I
put into execution when o'clock
struck.
"Failure," said 1 to myself,
"means simply death. Siiecesn
means a saved reputation with my
employers and a vow of strictest so
briety." Everything being perfectly quiet,
f simulated a gradual waking u;v
ami my rrt yawn opened the eye
of my bedfellow. The second had
the eiTect of raising him from his re
cumbent position in the bed, and
when I slowly and painfully awoke
lie via bending over me, all solici
tude '
Daylight v:is now stealing into
the room.
"My poor fellow," exclaimed thn
assiduous one. "how do you feel
tow? Yoi will wonder, no doubt,

lie smiled and replied, "Well, my I
dear fellow, not to put too tine a i
point upon it, I found you late li't
night in the gutter just a little bit '
the worse for liquor, and two some
what disreputable looking men w ho j
were with you asked me if 1 could
manage to look after you for the
night."
1 expressed my profound thanks 1
to my good friend for his tinsel lish '
kindness, but he modestly waved
them aside, saving denrccutinjlv:
"Duty, sir. duty. I cannot neg
lect a genuine case of human sulfer- j
ing or danger without some attempt, I
however slight, at succor." '
1 thanked him again.
"I am ill." I said. "I had too .
much brandy yesterday. 1 uuit '
have a hair of the dog t hat bit me. 1
I mu.-t have a nip now. It is the,
only thwig which will put me right.
If you hac any brandy in the house, '
foi heaven's sake, sir, bring me a !
114 i
urop:
lie hesitated , moment, then re
joined :
"Certainly. Lie there, and I'll be
back with it in a moment," and dis
appea red.
Much quicker than I can relate
it, 1 sprang up. went to the birdcage,
drew the sliding tray, transferred
all the contents into my handker
chief and thence into my coat pock
et, finally replacing the tray. Not a
moment too soon was I back be
tween the sheets, for in an instant
my pood Samaritan arrived with
the brandy. I drank and professed
to be much better. I dressed; so
did he.
Would I have breakfast? Xo. J
most reluctantly asked to be excus
ed, being in haste to catch the first
train I possibly could back to town,
and I pointed out to my noble host
that either breakfast or that train
must of necessity be given up.
Would he forgive me if I felt com
pelled to choose the train ?
I searched in my trousers pocket
for my money, gave a start of sur-
rise, shrieked out: "They have rob
)ed me, those villains. Iiobbcd me
last night!" And I simulated as ably
as I could a most woeful expression
of grief and despair. My good
friend sympathized detqdy with me.
He invoked maledictions on the
head of any one who could be base j
enough to rob an unfortunate strait- j
ger, and with a generosity well nigh I
unparalleled he pressed upon me to
accept, seeing I was penniless, as a i
temporary loan if I liked, the suui
of 10 shillings.
"J)o take it," he urged. "It is.
you know, more blessed to give than
to receive. I am not rich myself,
but a few shillings in the cause of
philanthropy I shall not, cannot
miss." i
So, with renewed assurance of in
debtedness, I wi.died my estimable
benefactor adieu; told hint 1 should
never forget him as long as I lived
(hro 1 really was speaking the
truth) and departed. What the lo
cality was 1 knew not, but I wan
dered nay, I rushed on and on
until 1 saw a sleepy looking jchu,
whom I bade drive me with all pos
sible speed to the station. The train
was just starting, and I jumped into
an empty compartment. Hastily J
untied the bag and scanned the con
tents, ho and behold! I found
thitt I had swept the birdcage clean,
for when I counted the money there
were LVi in gold and two 5 Bank
of England notes, making the very
respectable total of 52.
Now I am happily and peacefully
settled in life, and when round the
fireside nt night I nni calico on lor
tory nothing delight9 ine better
than to tell my tale of how the trap
pers wero trapped.
