Especially as the third-story bedrooms will do perfectly for visitors—and Jenny is & treasure.” Both of these statements were true. Before very long, Jenny, neat, dan! 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' teeth. When housekeepers, far-sighted and 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 Manu- facturer Hardy—when that lady gave @ reception; she had waited on the table at Mrs. German Professor von Schmitt's first big dinner; and had gained a familiar knowledge of vari- ous other leading houses. 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 comparatively little comment in faculty circles. There were a few perfunctory wam- ings against rowdyism, a few rou- tine reminders of the purpose of col- lege life, but nothing more. The truth was that Athenetown, at | this time, was too much excited over a series of skillful robberies to bother much about the inevitable autumn out- break of rufanism. Mrs. Letheridge had lost a pearl ool | lar; Mrs. Hardy a set 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 half a dozen houses before Thanksgiving day. Detectives came and ransack ouses, servants’ trunks and pa 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 “I haven't anything worth taking,” laughed Mrs. Wilson. “It's ome of the advantages of poverty. But neith- er have you lost anythiag, have you?” The faculty bride nodded. “Yes, I , it, for i have more hope of an arrest it the news {s 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- | pazes which were stolen. They are unmistakable, it happens, and their description was telegraphed all over the country this moraing.” | “But the thief will not try to dls- | pose of them in their settings, will i he? And when they are removed—" “It's the stones themselves thatare ! unmistakable,” answered the bride, ! as Jenny came in to remove the salad | plates. “They are very remarkable. 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, o 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 gcod-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 2 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- liet in her fellow beings. The bride looked thoughtfully at the waitress when she next glided into the room | “T've seen her somewhere,” she | sald; “I wonder where? Oh, I re- | member. Out beyond the town, on the | edge of the oak woods. I was coming | in from a ride and she was kueeling, digging at something in the ground.” “Very likely,” answered Jenny’s em- ployer indifferently. “She goes for & walk every afternoon if she has leisure, and she sometimes does a lit- tle botanlzing. She's a very superior | girl and a good deal of & student. I | have never seen any one who glorified manual labor as she does.” ‘Then the ladies wandered into the | library, and Jenny cleared off the table, . She did ngl go out botanizing .No. 84.|.No. 83. 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 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 button 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 & low, cautious voice, keeping him cov- ered with her pistol as she slipped out of bed and made a few steps toward the door. “I beg your pardon, madam,” the burglar whispered. “I assure you that I am not what I seem. You'll regret it if you alarm the household. Surely you cannot have lived here long and falled to hear that initiations are sometimes very—er—peculiar? I—" “Oh!"” sald Jenny. She favored him with long stare and weighed hi words carefully. “What {initiation is taking place tonight “Lady,” said 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 sald caimly. “I mean it. I'm not blufing. You can explain all about the initla- 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 croature,” 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. Three of a Kind. It was company fleld training. The | | captain saw a young soldier trying to cook his breakfast with a badly made fire. Going to him he showed him how to make a quick cooking fire, saying: “Look at the time you are wasting. ‘When I was on the coast I often had to hunt my breakfast. I used to go about two miles in the jungle, shoot my food, skin or pluck it, then cook and eat it, and return to the camp under the haif hour.” Then he un- wisely added: “Of course, you have heard of the west coast?” | “Yes, sir,” replied the young sol- dier, “and also of Ananias and Baron Munchausen."—Pittsburgh Chronicle- | Telegraph. ‘ Likes Sunday Dinners. | Robert had always visited his aunt on Sunday.
