laughing, "ami never know my on n
plaits two weeks in adv invo. Indeed,
my plans arc largely made for me. and
I (,'o and cotno usually ut tho bidditi!;
of others."
While ho was talking Dr. Van
Schoonlioven entered, and "J did not
hjo the Major again that eveniii',', as i
presently returned to tho reception
room, tho Major remaining for a chat
with his host.
I was decidedly ill ut ease, for f had
that piece of burglar ahiriii in my
pocket, and could tin 1 no opportunity
to put it buck. I was fully nwuro that
my hasty action might bo mi-icou-slrued
by one win) did n t know m ',
and I was anxious lust tho Major had
HOL-ii inn t iko it down, though not m
the most remote way had either of its
referred to tho Kiibject. It was no
business of his, though, in any case,
and I deemed my sell' in no way bound
to consult 1 1 m iu ho trivial nn ull'air.
lii'sides I was inclined to think he had
not Keen mo take th'.' piee. of metal.
It Hitbseipiently appeared, however,
Unit lie did nee inn take it, mid that his
actions wvim Htroii',dy inllileneed by
the id 'as the trilling incident nug
gested to him.
As it happened, 1 found no oppor
tunity to approach tho window UMuin,
and I went home with tho bit of m.'tul
in my waistcoat pocket.
That night uu attempt was made to
rob Dr. Kehootilioveii'.s house, the
burglars entering by the very window
from which I had removed tli ) burglar
alarm. They did not slice ".'d in se
curing any pliind t, but w.t.) fright

found.
Now, this attempt j I burgliry was

Particularly did ho hover iu the
neighborhood of the roomful of sil

the wedding gifts. Though I did n it
see him t oieii them or hear him speak
