Many elderlv ladies and invalids suffer un told misery from fear f tmrgian tramps and sudden attacks of illness by Dicht. They gladly cue the right sort of young man his room rent, and of:en his bigird. in return for the im re sense of safety and comfort that conies from knowing that he is in the hnntt iind ran be railed n in case of nerd. I held such n position taring my I: t vi iirnt the university. The house was a fine, comfortable old mansion, full of everything that heart could wish in the wav of furniture, house hold treasures and bric-a-brac. Tin nronrietres- "as a white-haired. I I ehairniing Indy, MOW than 70 years old. With h- r lived an invalid daughter, hopelessly ill of a spinal malady, and n grandson of seven or eight, a puny lad, with n deformed ankle on whieh he bad to wear an iron brace. It was, in lin t, the last feeble remnant of a once happy. MTOsptfW family. When I first entered the house in the character of protector the old lata and her daughter received me lather timidly, and for some weeks 1 went and came without more th .n knowing them by sight. Then one night I had to go for the family phyh Ian, and performed a nunilier of teeded services during the early i ruin:; hours; thus I won their confidence. This confidence increased as time passed, till 1 became in every sense n i mber f the household. Indeed, the reliance whieh Um oU lata and ihe invalid c.ime to repose in me was vvelltiiLrh pathetic, and on niv part there new Bp a sense of responsibility for their safety mid welfare such as will never be surpassed if I have a family of tu own.

First, u iiiucli prized loeket. rnatalahssr an d miniature portrait. had dis appeared, then several finger-rings, one set with u valuable ruby. After this a string of aiitKpie gold beads was missed, then a lady's watch, and, in fact, a long catalogue of such articles, nil of considerable value and niueh prized for family associations. I had come a stranger to New liaven; little w;is known of my family, Mid it is not wonderful that when the facts became known the neighbors were suspicious of inc. fter nearljr a month my dear old lady told me about her lossts, with tears in her eye. The matter made me very uin i iiifurtable. I began to watch everything and everybody at the htm It, and enlisted the aid of the two servants. New locka, bolts and chains were put on. and 1 installed an eleetrie alarm that rendered it vel-nii:h irnpossilde for a thief to en ter the place by night. 1 kept clo-e watch on those who eame in by day. '1 hese were few. Two elderly ladles caiieii once n week, nivvavs in com pany; a dressmaker came at times; the family doctor, the parish dergvman, the lawyer and trustee of the atata at Irregnlnr intervals; also n v, ealthy widow, who had consecrated her life to charity work. Although she was, as many thought, a most importunate begger for charities, she gave very liberally of her own means, and the integrity of her motives could not be questioned. There was also an old gentleman, whom I understood to lie a relative. These were all. except myself, who came into thp house for weeks, yet during that time a valuable locket and its chain, a pair of old, roundbowed gold spectacles, a lieu ut if ill inlaid vinaigrette, a jiearl brooch, a Inter seal, with an emerald set In the end of the handle, and several other long-treasured trinkets had disappeared one by one from their accustomed (daces. As 1 went over the list of visitors, I acknowledged that a disinterested person would be far more likely to suspect me than nny one of these eminently rcspe. -table people. The more I pondered on the affair, ihe more clearly it was borne in upon me that I was in an ugly position, and that my only way out of it was to catch the real thief. From that moment I was on the alert night and day. but soon satisfied myself that ae one broke into the houe by night. Tor sc eral days I kept an eve on UN little lame fpnmdmm, till l was eonvineed that !: was not the pilferer. The invalid daughter did not now have her bed. Afterward I kept watch of all the ssowmenta Ol the old gentleman relative, till 1 grew nahantad af myself. For some time 1 did not gain the slightest clew. Then one day a queer circumstance o currcd. The wealthy charity worker was calling at Ihe house, and aft. r a time I heard her taking leave, of my patron.-s and her ilaughter nt the door of the latter's room on the second floor. My door being ajar, 1 heard the nailer ntstle down the stairs to the hall below, and n moment later the street door closed. Obeying an unreasonable impulse. I moved to my window to see her go down the outer steps to the sidewalk: my room was at the front on the third floor. Somewhat to my surprise, the lady did r.ot appear on thsteps outside. At tirsi 1 supposed ihe was putting on her gloves in ihe vestibule; but live. ten. fifteen minutes passed, and then so strong was tap onviction that she was still in the house that 1 went quietly iiown. 1r reaanrra Biyself that no mischance had befallen her. She was not in the vestibule or in the drawing-room or the hall or the library. None ihe less the conviction that she had not left the house had impress! 1 itself on ine. I then noli.. -.1 that the key to a closet door behind the hall staircase, which was aHrayi in the lock outside, had been , , T - 1 ,1... !.. retiioveti, nnii as him-ii "'- o""i I tried th knob. The door was fast, and although I passed directly on and aacended the stairs, I felt absolutely eertaJbl thai the door had been locked from im-ide the closet, and that some one was in there. W hirling unconcernedly, I ran tip the st.iirs. but a moment later de aceaded on tiptoe and aoaaaaled myr, lf behind the oiicn door of the I dmwing-roonv fler ten minutes I heard the lock of 1he hall closet move in n stealthy manner, and n moment after I saw -thorough t he crack the visitor emerge and glance up the stairs. Ptien. after listening an instant, ahe stole into the drawinir-room. appronohad a table and inrned over sei.ml small articles there. Thence she glided to the mantle-shelf, from which she overtly took a small tortoise shell paper-cutter and put it inside her sealskin coat. From the drawingroom she passed hurriedly to the library, where she was out of my sight for two or three minutes, then reap peared, coining softly toward the hall door. The "-to.ilth nnd furtiveness of her ' in, nts roin meed me that she - m . was the thief.

"A thousand time,, jreal Take thOMt" and reaching forward, she sought to thrust the paper cutter and a lorgnette into n. v hand. "An. I those other things you have taken!'" I exclaliaed, "Oh y -. vs. ( ome with mo to my bouse. I will give them all to you. i don 1 know why I ever took them!" This and much more, over aa i over, amid lebe, and tears. By this time my patroness, who had heard the crying, was standing at the drawtng-rocea door, innen scandalised and agitated.

When 1 reached home my patroness was very much moved, and besought me to say nothing about ÜM matter. At first 1 was far from sure that this w;.s the right course to pursue. The next morning the family physician who is also the widow's physician -and a lawyer who had come on from New York ialh .1 on me, and succeeded in convincing me that we ware dealing With an infirmity rather than a crime.

The majority of the living toothed whalea are flniahed wi:h a Aoraal fin. The function of the doraal fin is to act as a kind of keel in maintaining the balance of the body, this appendage being most developed a purely jx lagic cetaceans like the killer, while in littoral or flitviatile forms, such as the narwhal, the white whale and the .lapaneae porpoiee, in the whalebone boaea, among which the dorsol fin is either small or wanting, its function may be discharged by the ketl. or.

The Heriin eorreapondent of the London Times informs his newspaper that "the c ape to Cairo line of the African Transcontinental Telegraph company has been constructed as far as Bismarokburg, Togoland.'' This may Mai all right to any one who knows nnthimr about the aeoarranhV of Afri ca, hut if he should try to illumine tinstatement by using a good map he would begin to suspect that something was wrong. The news is about as in telligiblc as though it read: "The telegraph line between t hicago and St. Louis has be. n extended aa far as Portland, Ore." The route of the i ape to C airo talegrupti i.ne passes thioagh central Afr .a. while rogolnnd is a (.. rnian possession on the west coast, Biamarckbnrg being a settlement in the interior of the colony.
