Btate university buildings and the and the dignified pro- BESEE E!?fis! sk Wilson had no children lna few “Besides,” she argued, “should I not strive to make those who labor for me ble, rather than stray visitors who are not half so tired at the end of the day as my Jenny is? Especiaily | Both of these statements Were true. Before very long, Jenny, neat, deft and always amiable, made a reputa- tion in the housekeeping circles of Athenetown, where everybody knows everybody else’s affairs, and where good servants are scarcer than hens’ fortunate, were hard put for the serv- ices of a waitress, Mrs. Wilson very amiably lent her treasure. Soon Jenny was playing maid in the ‘ dressing room of Mrs. Leading Mlnu-] facturer Hardy—when that lady gave | d reception; she had waited on thel table at Mrs. German Professor von | Schmitt’s first big dinner; and had ' gnined a familiar knowledge of vari- ' ous other leading houses. i It was in the early part of Novem- ber that Athenetown began to enjoy its annual riot of initiations and haz- ing. But, strange to say, the annual orgy of silliness provoked comparativeiy little comment in facuity cireles. | There were a few perfunctory warn- ings against rowdyism, a few r tine reminders nf ihe use of col- lege life, but nothing more. ‘The truth was that Athenectown, at! this time, was too much excited over & series of skillful robberies to bother much about the inevitable autumn out- break of rufflanism. . Mrs. Letheridge had lost a pearl col- lar; Mrs. Hardy a st of diamond or- naments; Mrs, von Schmitt, some rare sapphires collected by her mother-in- law. Silver safes had been rified of their contents in halt a dozen houses before Thanksgiving day. Detectives came and ransacked houses, servants’ trunks and pawnships. Fathers of families slept with revolvers beneath their pillows. The police in all the surrounding, cities were notified to be on the look- ' out for the stolen property. “You've escaped entirely, haven't you?” said Mrs. Webster (the “faculty [ bride” of the year) to Mrs, Wilson, as | the two ladies sat at their luncheon ! in the latter’s sunny dining room. ! “I haven't anything worth taking,” laughed Mrs. Wilson. “It's one of ' the advantages of poverty. But neith- | er have you lost anything, have you?” The faculty bride nodded. “Yes, I have. Our house was entered last | night—please don’t say anything about it, for 1 have more hope of an arrest if the news is not bruited abroad. They—or he—took a lot of trinkets. We hope to trace them, however, by . means of a set of old-fashioned to- They are .unmlluhblo it happens, and their ] description was telegraphed all over the country this morning.” “But the thief will not try to dls- pou of them in their settings, will ha! And when they are removed—' “It's the stones themselves thatare nnmiatun.ble," answered the bride, l as Jenny came in to remove the salad | plates. “They are very remarkable. , In the heart of each there is a defect : ! that makes, if you examine it under | the microscope, a tiny, starry radia- | tion. Every leading jeweler and pawn- , shop keeper in the neighborhood has been informed. They were stolen | once before from my mother—they were hers—and we recovered them | Just because of these defects. In fact, a gentleman is now serving a sen- tence in Joliet for failing to know this little secret.” Mrs. Wilson looked half-reproachful- ; ly at her guest “Ah,” she said, “dis- honesty is, of course, dreadful, but do ! you ever stop to think of the injustice that are the parents of it; the inequal- ities of property, of hap—" Mrs. Webster interrupted her host- ess with a good-natured laugh as Jenny brought in the coffee. “I have heard about your theories,” she said, “but I confess I'm a bit old- fashioned on this subject of property. By the way, what a perfect waitress you have! Wherever did you find ; such a treasure in Athenetown ™ { Mrs. Wilson proudly proclaimed ! that Jenny was the result of her be- lief in her fellow beings. l | The bride looked thoughtfully at | the waitress when she next glided into the room ¥ ‘ “I've seen her somewhere,” she | said; “I wonder where?

Then she yawned, locked the door, opened the window, and crept into bed, leaving the leather case upon her bureau. She was awakened from a light sleep by the sound of a creak- ing board and a gently raised window. She knew that there was some one in the room. She held her breath for a while and heard in the stiliness the sound of some one breathing. A button near the head of the bed i controlled the electric light, and her | hand slid gently and cautiously toward | it. As it moved she heard the clock on the old meeting-house chime two. | There was nothing cowardly about Jenny. She snapped the butten and sat up straight in bed. As the burglar swung around—a ! tall fellow, with his mouth and chin covered by a black muffler, and a soft | hat pulled low over his forehead—she | again slid her hand under the pillow. | In an instant a revolver confronted | him. Jenny looked toward the bureau; the jewel case had vanished. “Stay where you are,” she said in a low, cautious voice, keeping him cov- ered with her pistol as she slipped | out of bed and made a few steps toward the door. “l beg your pardon, madam,” the burglar whispered. “I assure you that 1 an: not what I seem. You'll regret it it you alarm the household. Surely vyeu cannot have lived here long and failed to hear that {nitiations are sometimes very—er—peculiar? I—" “Oh!"” sald Jenny. She favored him with a long stare and weighed his words carefully. “What initiation is taking place tonight?” “Lady,” sald the burglar pleading- ly—and the dissyllable and the whine with which it was uttered destroyed Jenny's shortlived tendency toward credulity—"lady, I'm sworn not to tell and not to let any one know that I am not a regular thief. My stunt is to rob some one of something, to get away with the goods, and to show them to the initiators as proot.” His eyes, quick and furtive under his soft hat, measured the distance to the window. Jenny smiled and shook her head. But the hand that held the weapon did not shake, “Don’t move, or I'll shoot,” she said caimly. “I mean it. I'm not bluffing. You can explain all about the initia- tion to Professor Wilson." And, with eyes and pistol still point- ed unfaltering at him, she backed to- ward the door, opened it with her free hand, and filled the hall with a loud call for help, The burglar sprang toward the win- dow A bullet stung his arm. ‘The next one will not be in your sleeve,” said Jenny tartly Then, as the room filled with people and the professor of political economy grappled with the intruder, she added modest- ly: “Well, I hope that this ends the Athenetown burglaries. Though this man declares that this is only an in- itiation trick.” It was quite clear to the community ‘that the intrepid little waitress' cap- tive was indeed the skillful burglar who had kept them all on the anxious seat for two months. For they found, concealed upon his person, the very set of topazes which had been stolen from Mrs. Webster the night before. The burglar's stream of profane abuse of women, his wild denunciation of his captor, his crazy asseveration that he had found the jewels in the treas- ure's room, only injured his cause and made his hasty conviction more cer- tain. “It's a wonder you don't say that you found them in Professor Wilson's safe, you impudent creature,” said Jenny with great warmth When, a month of two later, Jenny left Mrs. Wilson's employ and went home to Canada to recover from the effects of the shock, a band of grate- tul souls of College Hill presented her . with a silver toilet set in recognition of her plucky capture of the thief.
