"Enter!" said a hoarse voice. He pushed the door open and walked in.

She was robed in aldose, falling hab it of black from head to foot. Her face, of which Paul could see little but the chin, was deathly pale. Now and then he caught la glimpse .of a pair of keen eyes, which he thought were both fierce and threatening. "I came to consult you," he stam mered. The black-covered head nodded.

Be __ The next morning by daybreak he was knocking at the door of his un cle's chamber. "What is this?" showing him a paper full of figures, lines and dia grams. "Don't read it to me. On ly tell me what sort of a puzzle it is." The Lieutenant raised himself on his elbow, smothering a yawn. "It seems to be a mathematical puzzle, Paul—the description of some locali ty, I think. I won't interpret it to you. It would need a good topo graphical engineer to do that. Where did you pick it up?" Paul muttered out something and disappeared. A week after the Lieutenant re turned to his regiment. He noticed Paul busy every night with his math ematics and his slate and pencil. The dream book was laid on the shelf. Several months after, Mrs. Forbes, writing to her brother, said: " I have something to tell you of Paul which I know will please you. Much to my surprise, he took the first prize in mathematics at school last term. Finding prize taking agreeable 1 presume, he has devoted himself to all his studies with renew ed assiduity. But mathematics seem to be a passion with the boy. He told.ine he designed studying topo graphical engineering, the very pro feion I would have chosen for him. I cannot tell you how thankful 1 any for his sudden change~..' The Lieutenant lauged, but made no other sigo. He heard from his sister, but at long intervals, as he was stationed on the frontier; but every letter brought accounts of Paul's incsant, steady labor in the one direction. Whether the hope of the treasure still urged him on, or whether he found that mathematics were his proper work and that for which his talents and relit tastes best fitted him, we cannot say. But it is certain that at the end of three years he was ready to enter the hignest class in practical surveying of the Polytechnic Col lege. A year later Lieutenant Calderwood was seated in the door of his tent, when two or three strangersbri dashed ed up, and a stout, bearded, ght-ey young fellow Jumped off his horse, caught him tty the shoulders, shook him, laughed, and ended by kissing him like a girl. "Paul Forbes! Bless you boy! How did you come herez," Paul Jumped to his feet, turned red, and then burst Into a shout of laugh- ter. "You were the seeress? I know you were!" "Do net begrudge the dollar for her prophecy?" he said.

Uncle Jem wrung his hand. "Think ? Why,you must have work ed hard to achieve so much, Paul. "Yes, yes, it took hard work !" nodding.

"Hard, healthful study, a good profession and a good incomttwill surely serve for a Paul ?" ne said pot of gold„then , with a shrewd twinkle in his eye. E RW-1 THE GENTLE WIDOW. Not very long ago a lady. in wid ow's weeM, accompanied by a gen-, , Heinen said to .be her brother, came' to New York and engaged a house on Feud h street. Her rich dress and refinement of mapner,comblned with great personal attraction, rendered he. ighbors most desirous of ob taining an introduction to her, and curiosity was rife as to where site came from and who she' was. Her brother, for he really stood in that re lationship toiler, was a young man enjoying the command of ready money to a considerable amount,who easily made acquaintances with oth ers- of his own age. His manners wero very pleasing and his demeanor was polished, while his attire, though extremely quiet and unpretending, was always in the be s t possible taste. So favorable was the impression that he created in the minds of his new him to their own homes,, and in a ree in i t h im at a h tz short ti friends, that several of them - Invited d ine to hi s s uc e h ir a cle del In his turn, was enabled to give re ceptions.in Fourth street. His name was Vaughn, and his sis ter had been married to a Colonel In the Confederate army, who had been killed in action during the war.— Young Vaughanatic ed toa hand some competence on the death of his father; and. Colonel Wilson, who had also been a man of property, had left sufficient behind him to support his widow In a manner becoming his po sition. This tale was supported by the evidence of two or three other young men frequently to be met In young Vaughn 's appartments, who were also from the South, and were so fully borne out by all the circum stances of the period and their mode of life, that the brother and sister were tacitly permitted to take their place in society as fashionable people. Among Many others who visited Mrs. Wilson was a Mr. Johnson and his family, who possessed a large store on Broadway. To this gentle man the widow was specially atten tive, and vowed that her Pnrchmes for the future should ,be made from no. ether person than himself. Day after day she visited his store and bought :heavily, invariably paying ready money, until his confidence in her was fully established, and he said he should he most happy to give her credit if at any time it might be more agreeable to her. She replied that she was only a woman, and cense q gently knew nothing of business, so she preferred to pay at once, that she might know exactly hew she was situated, but promised to avail her self of this kind offer should shover feel the need of it. One benefit there was, however, which he could confer on her. Would he be so kind as to show her over his store? She had never had an opportunity before of becoming acquainted with the re sources of so large an establishment. Mr. Johnson, only too willing to be polite to so excellent a customer, im mediately acceded to her request, and laid his treasures bare before her, and exhibited some of the most costly goods. She asked at what hour bus iness was commenced, at what hour concluded ; anu, after thanking him sincerely for his courtesies, took her leave. It was not king before the worthy merchant had cause to regret this- moment of weakness, and subsequent events proved to him how easy it is for a good looking woman to cajole a one s WEI° nat. fested by a gang of TO,, kassodumti a new system, of shoplif entirely fresh, a new using invented for them, and they were christened "sneak thieves" by the police from the cunning way in which they effected their depreda tions and the difficulty experienced in detecting them. Mr. Johnson. who but a few days before had been boasting of his im munity from theft, was much an noyed when on arriving one morn ing at his store he was told by his managing man that some very valu able articles had been stolen during the night or early in the morning. The goods were safe enough when the store was closed on the preceding evening, as he himself had seen them, r ut d i wenr e the n 3 missiorning.ng when the clerks ar rive Mr. Johnson at once called in the police and an experienced detective was sent to gather all the information he could on the subject. On hearing the cir cumstances of the case, this gentle man at once recognized the agency of a sneak thief and imparted his sus picion to the proprietors of the store and his reasons for then,. " I should like to have a few words with your porter," he said. "Certainly, but I hope you don't suspect him, as he is an old favorite, and has been in our employ for years." "Not in the least, but I fancy he can help us for all that. Did you ever hear of a sneak thief, sir?" "No; what are they?" "If you send for the porter, and stay 'here while I question him, you will soon understand that." . The porter shortly entered the room looking very, much alarmed. lie had heard of the robbery and •thara police officer was closeted with Mr. Johnson,' and naturally feared he had fallen under suspicion. The first words of the deteetivf, howev er, relieved him from all apprehen sion on that score. "Now, my man, I want to ask you a few questions, and you must answer mem-tensity. Don't be frigh tened; we know that you bad noth ing to do with this robbery, but I f.tney you can help mein finding out ho h" w "Very as. good sir, but I don't know how " "Who closed the warehouse last night?" "I did, sir." 'Are you satisfied all was securely fastened?" "Exactly the same as any other night." "And the -fastening bad not been tampered with in any way when you undid them in the morning?" "No sir." "Well, now, who was the first per son to whom you spoke p this morn ing" "I think it was Mr.—" (naming one of the clerks.) "Ah, but thinking won't do. Did not any one speak to you or ask any question of you?" "Yes, a gentleman did ask me what time Mr. Johnson usually came to the store, as lie wanted to see him about some orders." "What kind of a man was he. Can you aeseribe him?" "lie was a young gentleman, very pleasant spoken, dark, with a mous tache, :and very well dressed. lie said he came,from the country, and was traveler for refirm in the mune to buY line as ours, who were going largely from us." "Was he alone?" others with "No, there were two , oents. e him, both nice looking s pa ng "Did -he com ?1, ca me in ; I had just '.43' yes' eand was sweeping opened the d o or. straight up to the floor, so he wal ked me. and—" "Did his friends come In, to o u t I " "I'm not quite sure of that, b think they must have, as It was rain ing, and they wouldn't stand out in the wet." "Should you know them again, if ou saw them?" Established 1818. "I shoat], know two of =Thetn—the one who spoke to me and another, who hada carpet-bag in his hand. i d He walk -a little lame." "That' I do, porter; you need not say anything outside, but I'm afraid we have not learned much." "All right, sir." As soon as he had gone, the detec tive turned to Mr. Johnson and said: "You will soon get your property back. I expel, sir.. Those men are sneak thieves, and if they are the same I believe them to be, I think I know them. They alwayspuisuethe same plan. • First of all they discover from a (=federate,' generally a_fe male, the place where the hest booty is most easily obtained. They then rise early in the morning, and wait outside until the porter opens the door, taking great care that no one is observing them. Ono then:, enters, and addresses the porter, telling him some such tale as this fellOw told yours, and while he is talking the oth er two adroitly slip whatever they can into a bag which they.have with them, and decamp as soon as it is fill ed. They are always well dressed, and would appear to be thorough gen tleman to tense not conversantwlth their tricks, and say that they have just come up from *he country, !nor der to account for their being' about so early in the morning. You will hardly believe it, perbaps,but thieves carry about with them external marks of their pm, fession, which to a detective officer are unmistakable. For instance, they have a peculiar walk and movement of the arms;they are generally ungloved, and carry nothing in their hands, while they are continually glancing on one- side or the other, to see if they are being watched. I would guarantee to pick a thief out from among one hundred honest men, let his general appear ance be what it may." The detective then took his - depart ure, promising to communicateagain with Mr. Johnson as soon as he had anything of importance to tell Min, and proceeded to headquarters to re port. He had observed three young men frequently walking about to gether, and from their general up mance had set them down in his own mind as thieves of some sort or other, although he knew nothing positively against them. He was ir resistably reminded of the trio by the robbery in Broadway ; and the de scription given by the porter of the man who conversed with him coin cided remarkably with one of them who had attracted his especial notice. He determined, therefore to keep a sharp lookout and trace them home, should he again run against them. , Mr. Johnson, meanwhile, after at tending to several matters of busi ness, started too up town, and on his way met young Vaughan, who seem ed strangely excited at the encounter. He turned however at Mr. Johnson's request, and listened attentively to his account of the robbery, express ing a hope that the perpetrators would soon be brought to justice. He did not seem very well pleased, nevertheless, when he heard that the detective coiaceivekthat he already had a clue, and was unable to conceal his agitation when his companion re marked in a whisper : "Do you see that man? `He is the officer whom I have engaged ; it is quite singular that weshould meet him." eaughan suddenly remembered that he had forgotten a commission entrusted to him by his sister, and up andasked his employer who the .... - -4j.'."" was who had just left whistle expressivs. ‘,....... was a tense surprise. "Where does he liN l' .. sir? I'm' sure I have seen his race some where." "At No.—Fourth Street. Why do you ask?" "0, simple curiosity; it'sn way we have," and he, too, left .the puzzled merchant. The latter slowly coutinued his journey, and racked his brain to elu ciate the mystery of Vaughan's sud den departure, but it never occured to him to attribute it to the coming in sight of the det•s•tlve. As he was in glpd time, and was obliged to pass Fourth Street on -I:smade up ois mind to coil upon ay Mrs. Wit sw,and,i f he found her brother there, to Rak him the cause fearing that he had offended him. The widow was sitting in her draw ing-room, and displayed a great deal of pleasure at seeing her visitor, and sympathized most heartily with him when he narrated his loss to her. She asked a great many questions as to the opinion of the detective,and was hardly less confused than her brother had been when Mr. Johnson alluded to the probability of a speedy capture of-the offenders, and added that his porter could swear to one at least of the gang. M rs. Wilson at this juncture became so alarmingly pale that he feared she was about to faint, and sprang up to open the window and admit fresh air, As he rose from his chair the door was violently opened, and Vaughan burst into the room, his clothes disordered, his face heated, and his whole aspect denoting great anxiety. Seeing Mr. Johuson, he hesitated, and a look of intelligence and alarm VMS exchanged between himself and Mrs. Wilson. He then, by a great effort, partially recovered his composure, apologized for the mode of his entrance, and said that he had expected to see his sister alone, and had something of importance to say to her. The merchant immedi ately prepared to leave, and had ex changed farewells with the widow when the door again opened, and to his amazement his warehouse •iforter entered, with a letter In his hand, and cave it to hint without saying a word. After obtaining, leave from the lady—Vauglim had moved to the window, and was looking out with his back to the rest—he broke the seal, and read the :oi!owing line in pencil. "Don't leave the room till I come!" written upon a card bearing the detective's name. Though he could not for the life of him guess at the meaning of the above, he deter mined to do as'he was bidden if pos sible, and contented hinaselt with nodding to his porter, and saying, "tell the gentleman to be quick, then." The porter vantstrecir—sitd Mr. Johnson, although feeling cutely the awkwardne of the situatien, did the best thing be could do under the eircumstancei, and asked Van in ghan wherefore he left him so abruptly the stwet. The former endeavored to make 80030 reply, but his nervous ness increased "So painful that It was incoherent. Once 'again the door opened, but this time it was the detective Who appeared, closely followed by a coup le of policemen. Advancing straight to-Wards where Vaughan stood, ap parently transfixed with fear, he laid his hand on his shoulder and said: "Will you come quietly? or must I use force?" To the dismay e r. Johnson, who expected an ow burst of pason, Vaughan asked, in a trembling voice: "What is it you want me for?" "Robbery of nine thousand dol lars worth of goods from this gentle man's store. Have you anything to say about it?" "Not to you." And he held out his hands for the handcuffs.

The detective, without saying a word, fitted the handcuffs on the young man's wrists,_ and signed to the policeman to remove both from the room. As soon as the door Clos ed behind them (Mrs. Wilson was carried ma) he smiled and said: "I know well enough what I am about, sir, but did not like to arrest friends of yours until- I had satisfied Myself that I was not wrong in my suspi cions. Vaughan is the man who , held your porter in conversation while his confederates were securing the plunder, and from all accounts it seems they knew where to go. Mrs. Wilson was often in your store, I am told; can you tell me whether she seemed to examine the place at all?" In a moment alightbroke over the mind of Mr. Johnson, and he remem bered his interview with the widow a few days before. "Why," he said, "I showed her all over the attire myself. What . a fool I mint have been ? ' "Ah," said the detective,laughing, "it's the old game,afterall. I thought so; a clever woman is always to be found in conjunction'with these fel lows." "well, I could forgive the sister; she may have - been led away; but as for het. brother—." . , "Lord bless you sir, he is no more her brother than you are; all we have to do is to sit still, and we shall have the rest of the gang here. When 1 left you I ran off to your store, after setting a watch on the house, and ' brought the porter back with me. I was at a stand-still for a mment, as to the best step to take nex t , when I was told you had gone intohe house. I then scribbled the note and sent it up, to enable your man to tyke a look at the prisoner, as I did not wish to make a mistake, and also to detain you in the room in case they should attempt to escape. He swore. posi tively to him, although he only saw his back, and on his doing so I came up myself, and the rest you know, as far as this house is concerned. I dis patched one of my men to make in quiries of several of the leading rail way offices,and from his report'l have good reason to believe that the whole party - meditated an emigration to some of the largest cities out West to morrow. So we have only just had time to eat the stopper upon them." Mr. Johnson, burning with indig nation at discovering the real charac'- ter of the people hO had been assoeia , ting with, resolved to stay and seethe 1 end of the whole affair. In the course of an hour the front door-bell rang violently, and two young men, of eminentientleman ly exterior, were ushe redinto the ; room. Seeing two strangers seated there, they were considerable aston— ished, and muttered something about, expecting to find Mr. Vaughan. "All right, sir," said the detective; "I will you to him when I have had a moment's conversation with you.

'rue amount must be, all agreed, very great, to have enabled the-conspira tors to keep up so good a style. This difficulty was easily solved. One of the policemen on watch bad observ ed the young men issue from a house a few doors distant from the one oc-. cupied by Vaughan and his sister. On repairineNther startling revel ations took place. It was found that Mrs. Wilson had been tho manageress of a baby institution, and derived large profit therefrom. Ilow she obtained the children is and ever will be a mystery. certain it is that the police when they searched the house discovered several infants, and all the necessary appliances for many mores The nurse in charge (for the babies were well tended) implied that a great number had been sent away at various times, and the only probable solution of this strange matter was that there existed in New York a class of people who were able and and willing to pay heavy premiums to any person charitable enough to relieve them from the trouble of rearing their off-spring. In the low er apartments valuables of all kinds were brought to light, such as silks, , jewelry, gold ornaments, &c., miler many of them owners were found. The three young thieves aren't un dergoing long sentences, but the im plication of ,Mrs. Wilson (who was really well born, and the wife of a colonel) was no easy matter; with such consummate tact had she acted her part. She did not, however, es cape scot-free, as Mr. Johnson, to his own chagrin, learned that the fair widow had availed herself of his kind offer a few days previously, and had succeeded in obtaining a quantity of 'goods on credit, that were last to him forever.
