London K adir,
A NIGHT OF MORROWS.
It is iprfVct!y trno that I am tho eow-
nrdlu-st coward that ever drew u jialpi
taliuf; breath. I wouMu't for tho world
have it known, aud I only U.11 it iu tho
strictest sort tf confidence, for when)
pcojilo aro jioorcst, thty r.rc apt to Ic
prondiat. Iu ray day-drcauis i am al
ways doit!" the must heroic aclioiin, nud
ask m favors of any ; bat let night com',
and I am tho abject k!hvo of tho liext
Iktbou that cn n newer for a comjiauiou.
You can imagine, thO'i, whether it w:w
woll with mo or not when Jtuubeu eamo
in and proclaimed that he wart ubliwd
to run oyer to New Yoik in half nn hour
from that tiiun, and ho tuiht bo detain-
d fcV( ral ibiys, nn. I r- would t.'.':e hii

in this gre.it luiardiT'-ltoUNo, In tho
Jrawhiij-roont on I'.io first floor, rsin.-r
tho back Dnrli.r fi r our bo '.room, ami
with windo'v opi uinf; to too (;i(i!iiid in
fiout and rear, iho rooms overi.HCie.ply,
he In Im riiijiii;; .ut iu regions whereat
night t'icro wero noco to attend, and
with nobody to hear mo fur or near
should I soic.im myself hoarr.o. Well,
it wuh not a very cheerful outlook; i.nd
what nggr.tvated it nil was that tho t-ti-ext
t.self was n lonely one, aud my bedroom
windows opened on a bttlo area connect
ed with a dark bajk alley lumct"d by a
pin.ihir a:'it of bi piirs that came out
mly afler dark, like tho reaches titul
iceth'H of tho hum in race, nud the g:'.lo
of (ho area (ipetiir," i!i tho a.lcv w:.s
fn l )i d by r.oth.iifr ) tit c. chi;).
I weld to the rantiuiu', i;u l bec.iuso
uch thiiip.s always como toothi r cuin
ideiilly, tho !ay van iaid with Bconcft
hiftit! from co-,t!y villat to thiovM'
jitartt rajnad I dined with couuiu Teresa,
who neui .lie hoi'io after a few hours' j
recital of tho bnrgkrk-i's esperieitcofi of
ill her pite:,;s.
Tiio tin t thing I did ins to look lie-
bind nil Iho doora and under tho piano.
I evcti lifted tho bd of tho pinuo, for I
never feel at tdl Hure that a burglar may
not havojaken out tho vrerks and put
iimstlf in their plaw I gave rvery
nrli'iu a lift and a nbr.ke, thrust K.-u-
ben's cene ni.dtr tho rofna and loungefi,
and into tho dark corners, and under tho
bod. Hiving then explored tho itiHido
if tho big wurdrubo nud tho bureau
drawers by the light from tho front
room hco was no g.vt in titat. room,
and citli.r tho houso niaid or the rat
hud borrowed my caudlo and kejit it I
felt os pure as a doubtful person cotil 1
that there was nobody hiding iu tuo
rooms, nnd bj locked the doors ntlnnt.
I then proceeded, to iuvohtignte tho win
dow fii'-fi-iiinE. I nlways felt so bccuvo
with It -ubt-n, throwing nil responsibili
ty on him, that I had nover thought of
looking at them before. T.iero wore
none, li.-oat goodaecs! vh..t was 1 to
do?
.Ml that I could di was to wrereh
down ft couple of nails fr.-m t!io ward
robe, nud by means of tho poker drivo
them iu over tho Mlii"i of tho two front
windows. J jinpr for Fiuno moro for the
bark windows, I fjur.d that tiie retd were
hooks, and it wan in vain to try uad get
thoBo out that I had already driven in,
do as to uso thorn ou tho back windows;
they wouldn't como out. Very well, I
said to myself, I (.han't go to bed to
night; and I prepared myself for hitting
up. If II jubon didn't come back for
two or three di yc, I could hlcep in the
day-times, and i.it op ready to meet tho
foo iu the liuvhtH. To bo tmio, I tbould
bo ail worn out, but w hat, would ho enrc?
I had n Rrim idea of satisfaction in think
ieg it was his fault I was undergoing bo
much nn jwr.y. ilo might at leant have
left me n piHtol, I ail; but what rood
would it buvo dono if ho had? I was as
much afraid of a pistol as of a house
breaker.
It was not a very iuvitiug prospect,
this of si'ting up nil night, already tired
out w I was. Still, I had a novel, I
could rend away part of tho time, nml as
Hum m the servants began to ntir ct fiv
o'clock in tho rooming, I could go to
bi d nnd get tlirco or four hours' islccj)
anyway. It was idle: :;ft:r I had made
myself comfortable, aud opened iv.y
book, the words ran together, aud it was
impossible to attach any reuse to them,
and what thebcjokwiwnll about I haven't
the least idea, I heard the chx.k rtrike
the clow q-iarter.i, nnd thru strike twelve,
I put tho bock away, and got cy i-ewinp.
Tbit that was no better, for after n few
Rhtehes it occurred to mc tli.it my light,
streaming through tho opon folding.
doors nnd out e.f those rdnittcrless ba -k
wiiidowii with only tho lace curtains for
a rerecu, was a direct invitation to thore
strolling bee-gars of tho back alley, and
I t(iM down my work, n:il turned
down tho pan, and I thought I would
go Mid t.it by theglimmerof th I...trobo
in tho back loom. IIjw Btill tho night
was! I listened, and liBt?uo.l, cud Ke
tened, till rny ears wero ctraitiol. Now
nnd then Komo street lingers wandered
along their way, far oft', nud Bet mod to
be the only people in the universe: now
and then tho flow nnd heavy foot of n
policeman Bounded in someothers-iuare,
I thought; now and then Eoroo Btraggler
hurried homo with ringing slpijbut all
that was comfort, n:id not at nil suspi
cious. At latd, however, I heard it
what I had been liideuiuq for, of cour.-c:
a thunipiurr and bumping to which ray
heart beat nu echo; aud then a hurrying
and scurrying and scratching that told
mo the rats were steuliog tho potatoes
in tho etllar. I breathed raoro freely;
it was actually something ngreeablo to
feel even the rats alis-o in t!ie neighbor
hood, us long as they did not forsake- tho
collar for any other placo. (Uti then;

would presently pouueo on mo nnd pin
