A Strange Adventure.
Orrvlllo wnf one of thoso sober little
Ainorlcan towns which a certain clnss
of novelists so delight to select ns the
scene, of tholr romances, nntl which fre
quently He asleep for so Ioiir a period
of tlmo that It Is a positive blessing
when something out of tho ordinary
cdurse of events happens, to nwako
them out of their etate of letharpy,
Orrvlllo had been asleep for almost
twelvo years, when an event occurred
which, topther with tho attendant In
cidents, completely aroused the wholo
town.
Orrvlllo was situated on I.ako Wano
no, ono of thn most charming llttlo
sheets of water In our Inland Slates,
In a secluded valley, shut up, as It
were, from all the rest of tho world by
tho surroundliic hills, with a solitary
majestic mountain keeptnn silent vigil
over tho slunibeilu-jscpne.laythobnau'
tlful lake, and, on.lts margin, the min
iature town, The spot was all that a
poet might fancy, or a roniantio lover
slh for ; and when there was adver
tised ' A now summer resort, the Orr
vlllo Hoiiso at Orrvllle," with every
accommodation, Ac, Ac, It Is not sur
prising 1 hat many persons, who had
been struck by the sui passing beauty of
tho plnce.ni they caught a flying glincn
of It In tho whizzing (rain, should re
spond Imnieillately to tbo opportunity,
and engagn to spend the summer or ui'
turn months nt so charming a resort.
Among the earlier guests at the Orr
vllle Houe, were Charles Lacy, a tal
ented young barrltr of limited means,
Colonel Harris, and his nice, Mattlo
Harris, nntl a Mr. Van Haven, a hand,
somo yoiins merchant of New York.
Charles Lacy and Mattlo Harris had
been playmates In their childhood ; but
the former had removed from his native
plnco In his fifteenth jear. and had
never met tho sweet-heart of his boy-
Mi days until tlmo had transformed
him into the full Mnturuofn man. Until
were now so comnlttclv cbaneed. that
they met at Orrvi'lo as entiro strangers,
and were only recognizable to one an
oilier ny tlie mention of tbeir names
and places of residence. The nciiriln
tanco, thus renewed, ripened Into ar
den love, and Charles Lacy considered
hlm-elr thn luckiest lellow mi earth.
" Did jnu hear tho news, Mattlo ?"
asked I ac.y.nni' inoriilnn.aM his lie'rolh
d sealed hersulf nt the. breakfast
table by bis sido
" No ; what l It ?"
" Johnson & Co , hankrw in tills
town baVo been lobbed of over one hun
dred thousand dollars I"
Von don't s:ty so I When did It
occur ?"
" Sunn time during the. ontlifr pnrt
of the moining The llii,f, whoever lm
I", iiiurte a pietly fair haul of It loft
tho film with a Very mnnll sum for Its
own pocket-bnolt. ' It was a privaio
banking-house, and Involves ninny of
the lending persons of thn town." "
"And they haven't secured tho guilty
parlies ?"
" No : and are not llkclv to do so.
either. Men who tuko Mich goodly
sums us this, generally fc.ure a safe
avenuo of escape. Uitt I can tell you
this," ho added, lowering his voice, nnd
inclining ins nend towards Iter's; "sus
picion tails on the Otrvlllo House, but
on 0110 maiviuiiaiiy, as far as I am
aware of "
" Just Ihen a waltor placed b letter
by his side saying : ' Something for
Mr. Lacy."
It rend thus : " Cnmo to Dalton at
oncn Your presence is needed immedi
ately at Mr. Greenup's. Do not delay
A. II.
!' What Is this? Coma to Dalton at
onco I A. H. Who can that possibly
be ? nut I'll go.
' I'm called nway for a llttlo while
Mattlo,' said no, 111 explanation, re
placing tho noto In the envelopo, " but
expect to bo back soon. I must go
forthwith ;" and pressing her hand, he
loft tno breakfast-room, limrledly pack
ed a few necessary articles In his valise,
and was at tho station Just in time to
catch tho morning train.
It was evening. The calm round
moon smiled upon the placid little lake
In all her pensive' glory. Naturo
breathed her soft musical murmurings,
and everything seemed to whisper
" Peace, peace 1"
Hut tho heart ot Mattie Harris know
anything but peace as sho left tho gay
crowd of thoughtless dancers In the
'brilliantly-lighted hotel for an atmos
phere more In harmony with her sad
dened spirit. Her heart was very heavy
to-night. She wandered listlessly down
to the waters edge. A little boat lay
moored there. She seated herself in it,
where she felt she could be undisturbed
In her lonely meditations. Hor thoughts
coon found utterance :
" What a changel" she murmured
" what a change from our happy con
dition of a week ago I I can hardly re

about to rlso and return to tbo house,
when a figuro, romlng down the path

Mattlo bad always been attracted by

So sho remained seated until he took
his place by her side.

Van Haven, without an unnecessary

Just then thn moon, which had been
shining on his back, fell upon his tace,
ami revealed a countenance with on
unusually strange expression, and tn
the great astonishment of Mattte, the
fact that her companion was asleep
Van Haven had been knowu to walk
In his sleep, and perform a great many
marvellous feata wlille In tliat conul
linn, and Matlio Hairis herself had
happened to meet him once while en
joying a snnv.ianibullstio ramble. So
sho was not nt all frightened by the clr.
, cumstancps under which shn suddenly
found herself placed, but somewhat as
tontshed : and, being a young lady of
a good deal of mischief, and possessed
of ths usual amount of curiosity, of
course she determined to let her com
panion continue on his nocturnal ex
ciirslon.
"Whit are yon talking about ?" re
pented Mattlo, her sadd tried features
giving place to an aitmed smllo.
"Vnu know well enough what I am

it to night. It may h" found where

So we'd be.tier find other gunrlurs as
"ono 11s wp can possibly do-so without
canting any comment upon It j and, of
course, wo will not let (ho money re
main where It Is now "
At the mention of Lacy 'a name, and
"money," Mattle's mind, which for the
past week had been Invariably coup
ling thoso words together, caught eag
erly nt tho suspicion thus aroused ; and
her very frame shook as tho light of a
great disclosure suddenly flashed upon
her. She had found ono of the guilty
parties, concerned In the bank robbery,
and could liberate her lover I
The discovery was almost too much
for her. A dim mist suffused her oyps.
She clutched eagerly the sido of the
boat. Hut alio soon recovered the first
shock, yet she did not permit herself to
speak, she trembled so violently.
Van Haven continued :
"We must leavo to-morrow, don't
you think so ?"
" Yes." ventured Mattie. "Now
let's bo quiet, for fear .we should be
heard."
"All right."
They moved slowly and noiselessly
across the rippling waters of the lako,
until they reached the opposite shore.
The woods hung darkly over tho tran
quil depths, and all was quiet. Van
Haven tied the boat to a eapling, and
stepped nshnre, followed silently by
Mattlo. He led tho way to a dense
thicket of underbrush, pausing a mo
ment to assure hlmielf that thoy woro
alone. Having satisfied himself of this
point, he took a few steps forward and
cautiously raised a large stone. Un
dor It lay a casket. He picked It up
and replaced the stone.
"I'll carry It," said Mattie, with avl
dlous eagerness, feeling confident that
If sho onco got possession of the stolen
money all would be well,
"Very well," said tho somnambulist,
and consigned tho casket to her keep
ing. "Now let us go to the boat again,
and we win finish the arrangement of
our plans as we cross over to Orrvllle.
Mattie considered It a matter of pru
dence to agroe, and followed to tho
lake. Ho took his seat In the boat and
(odscned the chain from, the sapling,
enjoining his companion tq maintain
perfect silenca until thev should ba nut
on tho lake. He seemed to think that
nil was well, and shoved oft from the
shore.
Mattie stood tn the moonlight, and
watched the bpU and Its solitary oars
man until both were concealed within
tils dark shadow of the mouutalu, be
hind which the moon was fa.t biding
herself,
"I am safo now I" she aald. with a..
Joyfull bound, "But what shall I d6? I
am naif a mile from.iaiy bouse, and
have no moans of crossing the lake,
There Is a rosd here souiewhere.though,
which leads round to tha town. I'll
walk to the. Vottj), f t. takes till morn-,,

So saying, shn began her search for
the road, which was Ronn found and
after four hours of inpld walking, for
which thn excitement of the occasion
lent tha requisite amount of strength,
she reached Orrvllle
film lost no time In Informing the au
thorities ot the town of her' singular
adventure, producing thn casket, for

tho guests had arisen, the Orrrlll
House was surrounded by half a dozen
men, evidently Intent upon tiie.espture
of sdmn one within. Presently Van

conscious that tinyllilng was wrong.

Mattie came down tnt then, after a
short sleep, and was requested to fol

street witli their prisoner lif custody
attended by a largo crowd of excited
spectators, which had soon congrega

vestigation, however, fastened the guilt
upon two paitles Van Haven and a'

whom the former had been on terms of
suspicious Intimacy.
Of course, all redress was made to
Mr. Lacy for tbo hasty opinions of the
