A BURGLAR'S' STORY .
TOLD BY HOMELY.
- There is something very mysteri
ousabout the `man," said my com
panion. We were sitting bOoks in
hand, by a favorite lake of ours in
tlie heart of the Catskill , Mountains,
as the individuid referred to went
sloily past us.:` I had noticed him
many times. I closed my book and
watched him out of sight. He might
have been forty years old, though his
face did not indicate that number of
years. His figure must once have
been fine, but now his broad shoulders
were bent, and his gait was slow as
ell ently painful. His feature wag
fine and of a Grecian type ; his eyes
dar and l large, and when they sud
denly met yours, fierce and almost
wild ; and his hair was as •white , as
snow.
"IHe has a tent , about a mile from
lime," my companion continued, "and
I am told that every year he changes
his quarters, and 'seems determined
to make no acquaintances. The pro
prietor of the hotel says that never
until this year huts he wandered any
distance from his camp, but that now
he is too unwell to prepare his own
food, and is compelled to go to the
hotel after it."
I listened to his account with con
siderable attention, for this stranger
had interested me deeply. I had met
him-more than once in my solitary
rambles, and had borne to feel a sing
ular sympathy .for the suffering he
had evidently experienced.
"I wouldn't meet him alone," my
friend continued, with a little shiver,
" for anythinc , b in the world."
" Nonsense 1" I answered. "He is
as weak as a child, and either of us
could manage him with one hand."
" Don't be too sure of that. The
man's fibe to me is full of despera
tion. If he should ever speak to me,
I believe I should be frightened to
death."
A few moments Mtg., my column
ion joined a party of friends bound ,
for the spring, and I was left alone.
Absorbed with my book, I had quite
forgotten the subject of our conver
sation, when suddenly a shadow fell
upon the pages,, nd I looked up into:
the of the stranger. He was;
pale as death, and .it was evident to
me that he would riot be abie to walk
many steps further without fainting.
He.had lost all control, of the staff
he held in hie hand, but , was appar
ently determined to pass me without
breaking down. Only bold measures
aiail with , this determined
spirit; so, rising, If id , pointing to
the rustic seat I had just vacated :
"You are tired,sir,and seem to have a
heavy load. Sit here awhile and rest
yourself." •
" What do you know about it f" he
demanded, gruffly.
" What my eyes .tell me," I ans
wered good natnredly. "How far do
you live from here ?'
" Is that any of your business ?"
"Under ordinary circumstances it .
would be a great piece of impertin
ence to inquire, but now you are sick,
and our common humanity gives me
a right toiknow."
"And you are not afraid of me ?"
I took the basket and pail from his
poor, limp hands, and pointed again
to the seat. He obeyed my gesture,
and, seated himself with a deep groan
of exhaustion, and leaned his head
against the trunk of a tree.
" I am never afraid of a man that
needs my help," I replied. " What
have you in this pail V '
"Coffee.", , ' -
" Have you ' eaten anything this
morning ?"
" No."
.
"Then you must eat now."
" You say I 711114 ?"
"I'say so. How long have you
been ill ?"
" I ammot ill."
I uncovered both basket and ' pail,
found some ssuldwiehes, took one out,
and presented it with the coffee; say
ing as .1 did so; "Ifi you will give
me a sandwich, we will have = our
lunch together. - Inn 2 very hungry."

help yourself; and then; after another
pause, " Perhaps you would like s
drink of coffee before flake mine ?"
" Thank you, not Co ff ee and I are
not very good friend. Will you
please drink yours now."
I paaaW the pail, which be took
readily, drinking like one parched
with fever. The sandwich he ate
with less relish, but I had the sails
faction of seeing it all disappear.
" I can go on now," be said. " I
am much obliged to you, ma'am."
I covered and retirrned 'his basket
and tin pail, picked lop his staff, and
said : a I hope , you will feel much
better."
El
I caught his eye at that moment,
and such an expression I never saw
before, and hope never to see again.
Such lonesomeness, such remorse and
heartache as shone from the depths
of those eyes! I felt myself choking
up, and was glad when he suddenly
turned and walked quietly away.
During the week following "inquired
for him many times. No one hid
seen him; but this was not uncom
mon, and I tried to think that he had
been warned by this experience to
keep away from meddling strangers.
I believe, however, that , be was too
ill to leave his tent, and imagination
pictilred him dead or dying alone in
the midst of' the forest. I had tried
to -enlist several gentlemen at the
hotel in the stranger, but they only
laughed at me, and one day I deter-
Mined to go in quest of the place
myself. Bo I called the companion
of all my solitary rambles, a great
intelligent Newfoundland dog, and
started. I found, after a long and
dittleidt climbing among the rocks,
that I had made the' reckoning about
right, for here in ,a small and beauti
ful valley, surrounded on all sides by
the everlasting hills, I came upon the
tent. A low growl escaped my com
panion at sigh& of this, but I bade
bim be still, and hastened on. There
was norsign - of human life about the
place, and my heart almost stood still
as I approached'the door of the tent.
A low groan answered my tap on the
ivooden stay.
"May I come in ?" I asked.
"Who is it ?" inquired the voice
l of the stranger.
"It is only I ; the lady you met a
iweeleago in the lake path. I was
worried about you, and couldn't wait
any longer to hear."
" Who is with you ?"
" No one, except the dog I always
take when I stray far away."
4 Come in, then."
I lifted the canvass and entered.
On a mattress, in one corner, lay the
poor fellOw, On each cheek was a
bright hectic spot, and his fine eyes
;seemed to, have gone far back into
his head.
" Oh! I am so sorry I didn't come
.before I" were my firsi words, as I
knelt beside the rude bed.
"Why did you come at all ?" he
'asked, endeavoring to be gruff.' •
"Don't let's talk nonsense,"
I an
swered.."Do you kno* what. t r the
Matter with you ?"
"No. I only know that whltever
it is, It means death."
,
I counted his pulse—one hundred
and 'fifty it.lninute; palms of hands
fiery hot, and respiration quick and
difficult.
' You must come to the hotel at
once, and be taken care of" I Said.
" I. could not breathe at all. there,"
he replied.'
I went to the spring and brought
some cool water, and then bathed his
hands and face. Not a word did he
Say ; but the tears pressed out from
between his tightly-closed lids,'and
'his lip .quivered painfully. 'I gave
him a mug full to drink, and then
Prepared' some • aconite, which he,
- middy swallowed.had selected
some food at the house lit for an in
valid, and this he partook of also.
In an hour's time the pulse was down
to a hundred and ten, breathing less
difficult, and the hectic flash alriost
Sane.
P. , "I am better again," he said as he
raised hiniself on his elbows and
looked at tie. " W hate did you do
it-for ?" •
"Never -mind about answering,"
he continued, as I vainly cast about
in my mind for the right thing to
"Isay. understand it; yoi,,jove
.your fellow creatures." ,
; I bowed assent, for words' uit then
were out'of the question.
" And' you believe that every man
Oust have a spark of divinityin him
somewhere ?"
I bowed again.
"If I tun permitted to speak to any
of the angels, when I land on the
other side, I shall say a good word for
ou ," he continued, smiling for the
first time. "I shall tell them how
the tender pity in your ayes threw a
gleam of light into my callous soul,
and helped me to see some goodness
and purity in this world—helped me
to throwed . myself into the arms 9f
my God and ask him to have COTI2;
passion on me."
" What must this man have en
dured," I asked myself, " when he is
so grateful for a little kindness f"
" Please don't cry," he went on. "I
ant to , tell you something about
yself. Would you like td hear it?"
"I. should."
"'Am going to tell you, because I
