"Im-c thou thy neighbor," wo nro told,
"VAen ai Thyself." that creed I hold;
Hut lovo her more, a thousand fold!
My lovely neighbor; oft we meet
III lonely lane or crowded street ;
I know tbo music t f her feet,
Hlio little thinks how, on a day
Sho must havo missed her usual way,
And walked Into my heart for aye.
Or how tho rustle of her dress
Thrills through mo llko a soft enress,
With trembles of dcllclouincss.
Wco woman, with her smiling mien,
And soul celestial ly serene,
She passes mo, unconscious Queen I
Her fuco most Innocently good,
Whcro shyly peeps tho Bwect red Mood,
Her form a nest of Womanhood I
Llko Raleigh for her dainty tread
When ways aro miry I could spread
My cloak, hut thcro's my heart lustoad,
Ah Neighbor, you will novcrknow
Why 'Us my step is quickened so j
Nor what the p rayer I murmur low,
I sco you 'mid your flowers nt morn,
Fresh as tho rosebud nowly bom j
I marvel, can you havo n thorn 7
If so, 'twero sweet to lean ouo's breast
Against it, and, tho moro it prcst,
Slug llko tho Ulrd that Tain hath blest.
You know not, dear, how dear you bo ;
All dearer for tho secrecy!

sure you ; and I had somo difficulty in
making my way from carriago to car
riage, oven though I generally find that
peoplo (almost unconsciously, perhaps)
move asido for the guard when they seo
him walking up or down closo to tho
carriago doors. This difficulty was in
creased too, by tho inaiifouvrcs of my
companion, a London detective, who
had Joined mo to give himself a better
opportunity of examining tho passen
gers. Keenly ho did it, too, in that
seemingly careless way of his; and,
whllo ho appeared to bo only un idio
lounging acquaintance of my own, I
know that under his unsuspected scru
tiny it wits next to impossible for tho
thioves ho was seeking, to escape oven
in hampers. I didn't troublo myself to
help him, for I know it was n't necessa
ry, yet I was as anxious as hundreds of
others wero that thoso practical thioves
whom Jho polico had been hunting for
tho last two days, should bo caught, nsJ
llioy deserved.
Sometimes wo camo upon a group
which my companion could not take in
at a glance, and then ho always found
himself unusually cold, and stopped to
stamp a littlo II fo into his petrified feet.
Of course for mo this enforced standing
was tho signal for an attack of that per
sistent questioning with which railway
guards aro familiar ; and, in attending
to public questioners who deserved an
swering, and unpollto ones who insist
ed on It, I had not much timo for look
ing about me; but presently I did catch
myself watching a girl who stood alono
at somo distauco. A girl very protty
and pleasant to look upon, I thought,
though her face, and her d'res-i, and her
attitudo wero all sad. She stood Jii3t at
the door of tho booking ofllco ; a tall,
slight girl, In deep moumipg, with a
quantity of bright, fair hair plaitod
high upon her head, as well as hanging
loosely upon her shoulders j with a
childishly innocent fuco and protty, be
wildered oyes. I wished I could havo
gono straight lo her, nnd put her into
ono tho most comfortable of tho lino
of carriages at which sho gazed timidly.
Just as I hesitated a very remarkablo
flguro elbowed its way to mo ; a stout,
grandly dressed old lady, panting pain
fully, and almost piercing mo with a
pair of restless, half-opened oyes, that
looked out through tho gold-rimmed
spectacles perched on hor sharp noso.
Two porters followed her, laden with
bags, cloaks, umbrellas and flowers
the only flowers in tho station, I expect
that winter night and ono of tlio men
winked at mo over her head, while tho
other guarded her treasures with a fuco
of concentrated anxiety, and thoughts
engrossed by posslblo fees.
"This is tho Loudon train, is it,
ga'ad?" sho asked, peering sharply into
my faco with half closed oyes, as if she
found it difficult to distinguish mo
through her spectacles.
From her wholo attitudo I guessed
her to bo deaf, but I never guessed how
deaf, uutll, after yolllug ray answer so
loud that tho onglno driver must havo
heard It eighteen carriages off, sho still
remained stonily waiting for it.
"Deaf ns n dozen posts," said tlio do.
tectlve, aloud, giving tlio old lady nn
express! vo littlo nod in tho direction of
the train.
"Slow train?'' sho nuked, in that
plalntivotono which tho very deaf often
use.
"Mull !" I shouted, putting my mouth
as close to her check its I fancied sho
would like.
"Aio t" sho shrieked back nt mo, tho
spectaclis shaking a little on her thin
noso. "Why should you wont nlo fnr
listening to civil questions that you nro
paid to answer. Aio indeed I I beliovo
railway men think of nothing else."
Then sho shook hor head angrily nnd
waddled off, looking as aclil an old par
ty ns T should over try to avoid. Iu ut
overy door alio pcored through her gilt
tcrlng spectacles, tho two porters tol
lowing hor. until sho liutdo a stop bo
foro an empty second-class carrlugo near
my van, nud with much labor and ns
slstanco Qot liersolf nnd her packoges
into it.
When I pussod, n fuw minutes ufler
wards, sho was standing in tho door
way, effectually barring tho door to atiy
other pnsseugcr by hor own uiiattract
Ivo appearance there, uud prolonging
with nn ovidont relish tlionnxloly of tho
obsequious porters. I fancy that though
tho ptirso falio fumbled In was largo, tho
FRIDAY, MAY 24,
coin sho wanted wa3 but small, for I
passed ou nnd left her still searching,
nnd still nsklng questions of tho men,
but hearing nothing either of tho re
plica or of tho loud nsldcs which they
Indulged in lo each other, I had reach
ed tho other end of tho train, nnd was
Just nbotit making my way bick lo my
own van, when tho young lady I had
beforo noticed wont slowly in front of
mo towards tho empty flrst-clas3 com
partment near which I stood.
"Am I right for Euston?" sho n3kcd
mo gently, ns sho hesitated nt tlio door.
"All right, Miss," I said taking tho
door from her, nnd standing whllo sho
got in. "Any ltiggngo?" For from
that vory moment I took her in n Bort
of wny into my charge, becnuso sho was
so thoroughly nlono, you sco, not hav
ing nny friends there oven to sco hor
off. "
"No luggage, thank you," sho an
swered, putting her littlo leather satch
el down bcsldo her on tlio scat, nnd set
tling herself In tho corner farthest from
tho open door. "Do wo stop nnywhero
between hero nnd London?"
"Don't stop ngnln, Miss, except for n
fow minutes to tnko tickets." Then I
looked nt her ns much ns to say, "You
nro nil right, becauso I'm tho guard,"
nnd shut tho door.
I supposo that, without exactly bolng
nwaro of it, I kept a sort of watch over
this earriagc, for I saw plainly enough
n lazy young gentleman whoperslstont
ly kept hovering about It and looking
in. His inquisltlvo eyes had of courso
caught sight of tho pretty faco In there
alone, and I could sco that ho was ma
king up Ids mind to Join her ; butho
scorned doing it in n most careless nnd
languid mannor. He wa3 no gentleman
for that reason, I said to raysolf, yet his
dress was handsome, and tho hand that
played with his long, dark board was
small and fashionably gloved. Glancing
still into tho far corner of that ono first
class compartment, ho lingered until
tho last moment was come; then, quito
leisurely, ho walked up to tho door,
oponed it, entered tho carriago, and in
an Instant tho door was banged to bo
hind him. Without tho least hesitation
I wont 'upto the window and stood near
it whllo tho lamp was fitted In tho com
partment. Tho gentleman was stand
ing up within, drawing on a dark over
coat; tho young lady in the distant
corner was looking from tho window as
if oven tho half-darkness wa3 better to
look at than her companion. Mortified
a good deal nt tho falluro of my scheme
for her comfort, I went on to my van,
besldo which tho detective waited for
me.
"No go, you see," ho muttered crossly
"and yet It seemed to mo llko that
they'd take this train."
"I don't sco how it should seem liko-
ly X I answered, fur I hadn't koho with
him in tho idea. "It doesn't seem to mo
very likely that threo such skillful
thioves as you aro dodging, who did
their work iu this neighborhood so
cleverly two nights ago, should leave
tlio station any night by the very train
which the polico watch with doublo sus
picion." "Doesn't it?'' ho echoed, with a most
satirical knowingnoss. "Perhaps you
haven't yet got it quito clear in your
mind how they will leave the town ; for
it's suro enough that they haven't left
it up to uow. That they'll bo In n hurry
to leavo it, is suro enough too, for this
Isn't tho sort of placo they'll caro to
hido in longer than necessary. Well,
what's tho hardest pluco for us to track
them in? Loudon. And what's tho
easiest placo for them to got on
sea from? London. Then naturally
enough to London they'll want to go.
Isn't this n fast train and shouldn't you
chooso a fast train if you wero running
away from the polico ?''
I didn't tell him what sort of train I
should choose, becauso I hadn't quito
mado up my mind ; and ho was looking
ciuss enough for anything In that last
glimpso I caught of him.
Having nothing better to do, I won
dered a good deal how theso thioves
could arraugo their gottingnway whllo
tho walls wero covered with tho descrip
tion of them, and overy official on tho
lino was up in It. Thoro was no doubt
about their being threo very doxterous
knaves, but then our dotectlyo forco
was very dexterous too, though they
weren't knaves (and I do beliovo the
greater doxtority Is not on tho knavish
sldo) and so It was odd Hint tho descrip
tion still was Iticffeetivo and tho ollercd
rownrd uucliiimed. I road over again
tho bill in my pocket which described
tho robbers. "Edward Capon, alias
Captain Winter, alias Dr. Crow; a thick
set, actlvo man, of mlddlo height, and
about fifty years of ago; witli thick
iron-grey hair nnd whiskers, dark gray
oye3 and nn nquillno noso. Mary Ca
pon, his wife, a tall woman of forty,
with n handsomo fair uco, u quantity of
vory red hair, nnd a cut ncro her up-
por lip. Edward Capon, their sun, a
slight youth of not moro than llftoon or
sixteen, though, for tho matter of that,
I thought ho might havo had cunning
enough for. twice his ngo, with clo3ely
cut black hair, light gray eye, nnd del-
lcato features."
Wo all know this description well
cuough, nnd for two days had kopt our
cyo3 open, hoping to identify thorn
nmong tho passeugcrs. But our scruti
ny had all been lu vain, nud as tho train
rushed ou, I felt how disappointed tho
pollcoat Euaton would bo when wo ur
rived ngaln without oven tlding3 of
them.
I was hoou tired of this subject, and
went back to worrying myself nbotit tho
sad looking, yellow haired girl, who
had bo ovldontly wished to truvolnhjno
nnd been so successfully foiled lu tho at
tempt by that Intrusive fop with tho
lmndsomo heard. Foolishly I kopt on
thinking of her, until, in wo wero dash
lag almost llko lightnlug through tho
wind nnd ityrkucss, only fifteen or
twenty minutes from Chalk Farm, tho
boll lu my van rang nut with n sharp
nnd sudden summons. I uovcr won
dorcd for u moment who hud pullod tho
cord. Instinctively I know, nnd It
wna tho carriago farthest from my
van I I loft my pluco almost breathless.

nt no window until I reached tho ono
from which I folt quito suro that a
frightened young faco would bo looking
out. My heart literally boat in dread
as I slopped nnd looked Into tho carri
ago. What did I sco? Only tho two
passengors burled in their soparato cor
ners. Tho young laiiy raised her head
from tho book sho hold, and looked up
at mo nstonlshcd childishly nnd won
dcrlngly astonished.
"Has anything happened to tho
train ?" Sho nsked, timidly.
Tho gentleman roused himself lei
surely from n seemingly snug nap.
"What on earth has stopped us in this
holo?" ho said, rising, nnd pushing his
lmndsomo faco nnd Ills long beard past
mo at tho window.
It was only too ovidont that tho alarm
had not coino from this carriago ; yet
tho feeling had becti such a certainty to
mo that it was long beforo I felt quite
convinced to tho contrary, and I wont
on nlong tho footboard to tho other enr
rlagcs very much moro slowly than I
had gono first to that ono. Utter dark
ness surrounded us outside, but from
tho litmplit compartments eager heads
wero thrust, searching for the reason of
tills unexpected stoppage. No ono
owned to having summoned mo until I
reached that second class carriago near
my own van (which I had hastened past
before) where tho fidgety, deaf old lady
who had amused mo at Rugby sat alono.
I had no need to look in and question
her. Her head was quito out of tlio
window, and, though sho hud her back
lo the light, and I couldn't seo hor face,
her voico was cool enough to show that
sho was not overpowered by fear.
"What n timo you'vo boon coming,"
sho said. "Whorois it?"
"Where's what?"
But though I yelled thoqucslion witli
all my might nnd main, I beliovo I
mlghtjustns'hopefully havo questioned
tho telegraph post which I could dimly
sco bo3ido us, and hnvo expected an
answer along tho wires.
"Whcio's tho small luncheon basket?"
sho inquired, pulling out her longpurso
with great fus3incs3. "Asmall luncheon
basket, my good man and mako haste."
Shall I over foiget tho sharp expect
ancy of tho old lady's eyes as they
looked into mine, first over, then under,
then through her glittering, goid-rlm-mod
spectacles? What surprised mo
most particularly was tho fact of her
not being, as nny ono might suppose, a
raving maniac.
"Bo quick with tho small luncheon
basket, please," sho said, rjlgnedly sit
ting down, and pouring tlio contents of
her purso out into her lap, "I'm us hun
gry as I can be,"
I saw that when sho looked up at mo
from tho silver sho was counting sho
saw my utter bowlldcrnient I didn't
try.now to mnko hor lionr, for I Know it
to bo hopeless for sho raised her voico
suddenly to n shrill pitch of peevish
ness, and pointed with ono shaking
hand to tho wall of tho carriage.
"Look hero! Doesn't it say "Small
luncheon baskets. Pull down tho cord?'
I want a small luncheon basket, so pull
down tho cord. Mako haste, nnd get it
for mo, or I'll report you to tho man-
;er.
Seeing now that sho was almost as
blind as eho was deaf, I began to under
stand what sho meant. On the spot to
which sho pointed above tlio seat oppo
site her, two papers wero posted In n
lino; ono tho ndverllsemet of "Smnll
luncheon baskets" supplied at Rugby,
tho other, tho Company's directions for
summoning tho guard and stopping tho
train in casc3 of danger. As thoy hap
pened to bo placed, tho largo letters did
read as sho had said :
"SMALL LUNCHEON 11ASKETS PULL.
DOWN THE CORD."
Whllo 1 was gazing from her to tho
bills, getting over n bit of my astonish
incut, and sho was giving mo every
now and then n sharp touch on tho
shoulder to recall mo to my duty, nud
hasten mo witli hor refreshment, wo
wero joined by ono of tho Directors who
happened to bo going up lo town by
tho express. But his just and natural
wrath loud as it was nover moved
tho hungry old lady ; no, not In tho
slightest degroe. Sho nover heard ono
word of It ; and only mildly insisted, In
tho midst of It, that sho was almost tirod
of waiting for her small luncheon bask
et. With a fie'reo pertlngsliot, tho Direc
tor tried to mnke iter understand that
sho had incurred a penalty of C, but
ho couldn't, though ho bawled it at her
until tho poor old thing perhaps mor
tified nt having takou so much troublo
for nothing ; perhaps overcome by her
hutigcr; perhaps frlghtoucdof tho com
motion sho saw though sho didn't hear
sank back lu her scat Iu a strong tit
of hysteric and lot tho shillings nnd
sixpences roll out of her lnp nnd settle
under tho scats.
It scorned to moa long timo beforo wo
started ou ngaln, but I supposo it was
.only n six or seven minutes delay after
all. I expect I should havo waited to
explain tho stoppage to tho pretty young
girl of whom I considered mysolf nsort
of protector; but, ns I said, sho was nt
tho vory opposite end of tho train, nnd
I wns in husto uow. Thoro must havo
been n good laugh In soveral of the car
riages where tho cnuso of our stoppngo
got whispered about. As for me, when
I got back into my vun, solitary na it
was.I chuckled over it until wo stopped
nt Uliulk Farm to tnko tickots.
It bceineil to ino that tho train was
taken into custody ns soon us II stopped
hero.
"Of courso you havo tho carriago
dours all locked, nnd I'll go down with
you while you open thorn ono by ono,
My men nro in possession of thu plat
form1." Thl3 was said to mo by Davl3, n do
tectlvo officer whom I know pretty well
by now. lmvlug had it good bit to do
with him about tlio Warwickshire rob
bory.
"It was no use," I said, beforo wo
started, "tho train was sturehed, as you
may Buy, at Rugby. Every passenger
has uiulorgouo u closo scrutiny, I can
toll you. What causes such sclctitlflo
preparation for us horo?"
"A telegram rocolvod ton minutes

ho dropped his voico n littlo hero "a

I felt n bit of nn odd catching in my
breath ns ho spoke. "No," I said, quito
Inn hurry. "No young lady nnd gon
llcmnn belonging together; but thcro
may bo plenty In tho train. What if
there are. though? Thcro was no young
lady orgcutlemun among tho robbers I"
"Among tho robbers," rejoined Davis
with suppressed enjoyment, "was n
woman who'd mako hersolf Into any
tiling ; and you must own thnt n gentle
man with n dark, long benrd isn't bad
for n lady known to us protty well by
her thick red hair, and n cut on her un
der Hp."
"But tho young lady?" I asked,
cogitating this.
"Ah I tho young lady. Truo enough ;
well what shall you say, if I told you
sho grow out of that boy with tho closo
ly cut, dark hair that wo'ro after."
I remembered tho pretty plaits, nnd
tho looso falling hair. I remembered
tho bowlledrment In tho oyes which
entirely hid their natural expression,
nnd I didn't answer this at all.
"I wish I had u good chanco of catch
ing tho old fellow ns I have of catching
tho woman nnd boy," continued Davis,
as we moved slowly past tho locket bag
gago van. "I know they're hero, and
that I shall recognizo them under any
dlsgulso; but we'vo no duo yet to tho
othorrascal. It's mo3taggravatIngthat,
by somo means, wo'vo lost sight of tho
biggest rogue of all. Como along."
I did como along ; feeling very stu
pidly ghul that there wns all tho train
lo search beforo wo could reach that
carriago at tho other end, whcro sat tho
girl whom I had, iu n way, taken under
my protection.
"When nro wo to be allowed to leave
tilts train, pray? Cull mo a cab," cried
tlio deaf old lady, plaintively, as wo
reached her carriage, and found her
gazing out iu tlio most ovidont and
utter Ignoranco of all that was going on
around her. "I am locked in, Ga'ad.
Do you hoar ?"
I heard ; ny, sharp enough. I only
wished sho could hear me a3 readily.
Davis stood aside wntchlng whilo I un
locked her door and helped her down.
Then seeing her helplessness, nnd her
countless packages, ho beckoned a por
ter to hor, winking expressively to call
his attention to a probablo shilling.
Carriago after carriago wo cxamiued,
nnd though Davis detected no thief, ho
turned away only more and moro hope
fully from each. Ho was now suro they
were thoro, and that cscapo was Impossi
ble. Wo reached tho last carriago In the
line, nnd now my heart bent In tho od
dest manner possible.
"Is this compartment empty, then ?"
asked Davis, whilo my fingers wero
actually shaking, as I put my key in
tho door of tho centra ono. "Empty and
dark ?"
"Even if it had been empty it
wouldn't havo boon left dark," I mut
tered, looking in. "Hollo 1 what's como
to tho lamp ?"
I might as well ask what was como
to tho lamp, for tho compartment was
as dark as If It had nover been lighted ;
yet had not I myselfstood and watched
tho lighted lamp put in at Rugby ? And
tho carriage was empty too I
"Why was this?" asked the detec
tive, turning sharply upon mo. "Why
was not tho lamp lighted?"
But tho lamp was lighted, and burn
ing now as sensibly as tho others if we
could but have seen it. As we soon dis
covered, the glass wi3 covered by a
kind of tarpaulin, intensely black and
strongly adhesive, and tho carriago was
ns completely dark as if no lamp had
been thero at nil. Tho perplexity in
Davis' faco was ns great ns my own,
when I told him who had traveled
here. "Thoy couldn't havo loft tho train
here, nt any'rnto," ho said ; and Tknow
that as well as ho did.
But you havo guessed tho end. Dur
ing thoso few minutes that wo stopped
on tho line, tho two thlovos darkening
tho lamp even after Iliad left thom,
and using their own key had loft tho
carriago under cover of tho durkness,
managing their escapo in thoir black
dresses out into tho blackness of tho
night as they had managed their theft
aud subsequent concealment. But how
could thoy have depended on this un
usual delay this exquisite opportunity
given thorn In tho uttor darkuces, closo
to tho city, yot at no station ? When I
officially mado my deposition, and ex
plained tho cause of our8toppago,somo-
thing of tho truth seemod to break upon
us nil ; but it wasn't for a good whilo
thai it settled into n certainty. Then it
got clear to everybody thnt tho older
scoundrel had duped us moro Iugcnlous
ly thnti tho younger ones. As tho in
capnblo old lady, deaf as nstono,nnd bo
blind that eho had to peor through hor
glittering glasses, with oyes half closed,
and bo hungry Unit eho had to stop tho
train for n luncheon baskot,ho had play
ed upon us tho neatest trick of all
Whcro on earth wero tho thick Iron-
groy hair nnd whiskers by which wo
wero to havo identified him? But by
tho timo tho polico saw tho wholo thing
clearly it was too lato to follow up nny
cluo to him.
Tho cab which had taken tho eccontric
old lady and her parccU nnd flowers
from Eustoti was lost in tho city, and
could not bo tracked. A high rownrd
was offered for luformatiou, but uo ono
over won R. My firm belief is that It
was no legitimately licensed cab ntnll
but one belonging to tho gang.Jaud part
of tho mushed fraud. I verily bollovo.
too, that somotlrao3 now though per

Davis still assures mo, with tho meat
cheerful confidence thnt ho shall yet
havo tho pleasure somo day of trapping
