I had just reached my office after lunch one miserably wet day last No vember, when a visitor was announced. "Mr. Engstrom" was inscribed on the card a name quite unknown to me. "Mr. De Warre?" said my visitor, a shrewd looking, well groomed man, who apparently had not yet touched forty. ..I'.'j'Vljat U my name." I answered. can dofor you"1 aud tel1 mo wh,a 1 "I am in great trouble." s... Xf Engstrom. "We had burglars at out house at Lyndhurst, in the New For est, the night before last. They broke in while we were at dinner and several thousand pounds' worth of jewels are gone from my wife's bedroom. Hut what distresses us is that a valuable heir loom, a pearl necklace of great value, that has been in our family for two hundred years, is among the plunder. The other jewelry we could bear to lose, but not this. To tell you the truth," he added, with a smile, "I must own to being a little supersti tious, aud there is a legend in our family that this necklace was a gift to an ancestress of mine by Charles II., and whoever shall lose it his days shall lie very short and full of evil. It is said it was lost attout the beginning of the century, and the legend came true. My wife is more superstitious than myself, and I am afraid if it is not recovered it may seriously affect her health. Of course the police have teen at work, but I have not very great confidence in them, and up to the present they have discovered noth ing. If you can aid me I shall be very glad. "I am," said Mr. Engstrom, "the de scendant of an old landed family who have lived in Hampshire for genera tions. We are not as wealthy as we once were, nnd I tind employment for my time by being on the board of di rectors of several companies. I have only been married a short time, nut quite a year, anil we have been liviuir very quietly. On Tuesday night, when the burglary occurred, there were only five of us at dinner. Besides my wife aud myself were the rector and his wife and Capt. Olyer. the son of an old friend, whom I lately met in the city and invited down. He has been with us over a week, and leaves to join his regiment on Saturday. "We had just reached dessert and Capt. Olyer was inquiring of the but ler if Wisden (his man servant) had returned from London, when my wife's maid came in gasping: -h, ma'am, your jewels are gone robbers!' and sank fainting on the floor. " 'Goodness gracious!' I exclaimed, and we sprang up. ' 'Let us search out of doors at once,' said the captain. 'Bring us a light, John,' he said to the butler, aud rushed out. We followed him. "It was quite dark, aud we had not gone a dozen steps before he fell dowu. 'Look out, he cried, "the brutes have laid wires. They have caught one fool at any rate,' he remarked as he got up. 1 went back for a light, and sure enough there were wires around that side of the house. "The captain was holding his nose. He was but little hurt, he said, for, luckily, he had falleu on the grass. At the captain's suggestion I summoned two men servants. "I found a lantern, and we searched the grounds and the surrounding roads. We found nothing, save a ladder under one of the windows, and a small brooch which the thief or thieves had dropped. No suspicious looking person had been seen in the village or at the station, and the two policemen who came could do nothing beyond looking wise. I called at the police station this morning, but they have no clew, nor is it likely they will have one. All 1 have learned from them is that they believe that two were engaged iii the affair from the footmarks." "It will be too dark by the time we could reach Lyndhurst to investigate," I said, "but I will come on by the first train in the morning. "I wish you to promise me one thin?, not to mention to anyone the object of my visit. Call me a fellow director or anything you like." I found Mr. Engstrom at the station the next morning with a dog cart. I forebore to talk on the subject of my visit save to ask one question. "Why did you keep such a valuable necklace at home, Mr. Engstrom?" "I kept it in the Safe Deposit in Chancery lane," he answered, "and only brought it home Saturday because my wife wanted it at the couuty ball to morrow night." I had some lunch and a pleasaut chat with my host and hostess, after which I asked permission to interview the servants. "Are your visitors in?" I asked Mr. Engstrom. "Capt. Olyer is a rabbit shooting with the rector, but he will be in to din ner." "Oh, I merely wanted to have his ac count of what happened. Now, would you be so kind as to have the wires arranged round the house in the ex act place the burglars left them? ' The gardner, who had taken them up, brought them again. It was fine but strong wire, fastened to the ground by small iron pegs. "Are the wires in the exact place?" "I put the pegs in the very holes," replied the gardener. "You can see the holes yourself, sir." "And now 1 should like to be left alone a little," I said. "I want to make some minute investigations." My wish was complied with, aud I went down on my hands and knees to examine. I was well satisfied. In five minutes I had made an important discovery. 1 next examined the window where the burglars had entered from the out side, and then entering the house I went upstairs and with the help of the maid examined the bedroom. The window had been left half open, the maid said, as "master was so particular about fresh air." Next I inspected the footsteps, a matter of some difficulty, considering the number of people who had been there since. But finally I traced them across a flower bed into the shrubbery, where they were quite distinct. Only one person had passed there, and I came to the conclusion the sapient police had evolved two robbers from their inner conscious ness. But what interested me more was that the palings which separated the shrubbery from a public by-way had lately been tarred and were not j et dry. The robber had climbed over the palings, and whoever he was he must have carried away a lit tle of the tar on his person. In fact, the marks of his fingers were quite distinct. On getting back I had a p'easanthalf hour in the billiard room with Mr. Eng strom. Capt. Olyer returned just in time for dinner, aud I was only introduced to him as we entered the dining-room. He was faultlessly got up, of well-made figure and handsome features, bearing large traces of dissipation. As for his .oeech, he had an invincible objection " letter "r," aud carefully avoided its use. We had finishes when t begged a thousand pardons for ; tne table for a few minutes. My liosv looked a little surprised at my want of manners, and the captain surveyed me through his eyeglasses as though I were a new kind of animal. I was only gone a few minutes, but it was time well spent. When we reached dessert and Mrs. Engstrom had left the table, I led the conversation round to the burglary, and induced thecaptain to give his ver sion. I waited till he had finished, and then, looking at him steadily, said: "Now, isn't it rather a curious thing, Capt. Olyer. that you should fall over the wires when they were quite three feet away?" Engstrom stared at me. and the cap tain did not answer till he had drank a glass of wine. "What do you mean, sir?" he asked at last. "I mean." I replied, still watching him keenly. "was it not a curious thing that you should be tripped by blades of grass? And is it not curious also," I went on, mercilessly, "that your servaut, or rather your accomplice, should be stapding under the bedroom window here at the same time he was in London?" The captain sat dazed and pale and motionless, though his hands trembled, and Dr. Engstrom gasped out: "Mr. De Warre, whatever are you suggest ing?" "I suggested," I answered, as stead ily as before, "that the burglar is sit ting before you." "Sir!" thundered Mr. Engstrom. pale with emotion; "you are forget ting yourself.. To accuse my old friend's son of being a thief! Prepos terous",' "Thiols not your old friend's son, Mr. Engstrom. Capt. Olyer, of the Thirty-eighth hussars, is at present with his regiment at Woolwich, and replied to me to-day. Here is the tele gram: " 'CapLOlyer to De Warre: Am here. What is the meaning of this inquiry?' " The pseudo captain had risen and looked around as if seeking a way to escape. "Sit down," cried Engstrom, "and if you want to save yourself from jail make a full confession. De Warre, I beg your pardon." "Don't trouble about that.". I said; "of course it was hard to credit it." The poor wretch sat down again aud stammered out his story. His name turned out to be Odgers, an ex-sergeant in the hussars, expelled from the army in disgrace. His accomplice, who acted as his servant, had hidden the jewels in the wood near the house, till they could safely be removed. At breakfast time the next morning I hail to relate how I had unearthed the conspiracy. "First of all," I said, "the fact that the burglary occurred shortly after you had brought the jewelry from London convinced me that the thief was some one in the house. And when I had the wires relaid and found that the captain had fallen three feet away from them a fact which I discovered from the impression made by his knees and the toes of his boots I thought things were very suspicious against him. Upstairs I found that it was little trouble for him to slip into your wife's room and throw the casket down as soon as she left the room. I learned that he had been the last to appear at the .dinner table, and the case was strengthened. At the rail way station I discovered that a man answering to the description of his 'servant had arrived from London by the 5:30 o'clock train, and not by the 9:15 o'clock, as it was made to appear.

"All right, just step this way. please," said Mr. Cunningham, who called an assistant and gave the order: "Show this gentleman the bridal chambers."

Now, they air the finest you have, air tney?" "Yes, sir, they are the finest in the city, and are good enough for a mil lionaire and his bride."

Then a young man who is in terested in the Lewiston Y. M. C. A. jumped up and offered his seat. The young lady bowed and told a lady back of her to sit- Then several gentlemen proffered her scats, but she declined them all with a sweet smile. After she left the car she said to her friend: "I'm awfully tired, I can hardly drag one f.ot after the other." "You ought to be." was the reply. "Why?" "You should have sat down in the car."

"Harry, sit down." whispered his grandmother. He oWdiently climWd back on the seat, but soon slipped off again. "Harry, you must sit down. "Grandma, I can't. My pants is chok ing me." She looked more closely than her dim 6ight had Wfore per mitted, and discovered the new little knickerbockers were on hind side lie fore. Harry stood up during the re mainder of the service.
