When we got downateJfl we found the parlor door wide ojien, the room lighted, and the stranger stood nt the table with the watch in his hand. We had crept down so softly that he heard nothing. Ha was fully dressed, even to his overcoat and arctics, and as we watched him he rocketed the timepiece nnd removed the wrapper from the shawl. Sam's idea had been to raise an alarm, or perhaps rush in on him. but ns we cowered theire and watched, a senneof helpleewness came over him, nnd his tcth tegan to chatter before mine did. We were about to creep back to the stairs, when the man turned the lamplight nJmost out, and came into the sittingroom, and mado for the outside door. ITe jwissed within a foot of us. and why the thumping of my heart did not catch his ear has always been a wondeir to me. ITe unlocked the door, passed out and softly closed it behind him. nnd we, heard him going down the fro7en path to the barn, I m for going upstairs for father, but Sam drew BOO

"He's got the watch and haw nnd Is now nfter that span of horses." Let me explain thnt nbout the f!rt of the month the sheriff of our county had taken p"1-' eaelOB of a span of fine horses, mpppeed to have lnen stolen, nnd they were beinr cared for in our stables until the owner should turn up. The slnbles were in the basement of the barn nnd half underground. The windows were very small end the door a stout one. This door had no 1 ick, but fasten ed with bean and nia. We

watched the man until he opened the dOOT and entered the sUihloa, nnd then Sam said: Tee, he's nfter the horses and Tm going to do something." "We maeJ aaU father." "If we do, the man will kill him. for he hasn't got nothing to fight with I You stand right bete nnd hold the door a little oj-cn for inc." "What nre you going to do?"

It was alvwit 300 feet to the barn, nnd lieing in his stocking feet he ran like a deer nnd as noiseless aa a cat. lie found the door shut, nnd It did not tnke him ten seconds to lift tip the hasp nnd slip the pin through the staple When he enme back we ran upstairs and nroused father and mother, nnd just ns wo all got down, we heard the mnn kicking on the stnble door. ITe hnd

In daylight he could have made his way up through one of the feed-rocks, but he had used his last mntch and had to go slow In the darkness. We routed out the neighliors. sent for the sheriff, nnd in nbout an hour the door wna unfastened and the fellow Invited to come out. He had stropped mother's new shawl on one of the horses for a saddle, nnd father's Santa Clnua wntch wns ticking ttwny in his vest, pocket. Why he hnd no weapons I never could understand, for he turned out to le a professional horse thief and n desperate mnn. but he hnd neither knife nor pistol.
