A KIGIIT WITH A ROUUCR
TUrllllng Adventure of Ilia
tlume I'uuline Lucca.
For cool resolution, the following
incidont, related to roe by my friond
cannot well bo eurprtssed :
Madame Pauline Liuecn usually ro
aides in the Viotoria StrasHe, Berlin. I
Last Bnrinir, however, sue oconpiod,
temporarily, at some distanoe outnide
the city, a garten house, orcouutry
house, consisting of only a spacious,
rambling basement story, surround
ed by a veranda.
One nignt, About ten o cJoct, sue
was sitting there in her bed room.
Her choir was placed before her toil
et table, which was lighted by a wax
taper on each sido of the gloss. The
two tapers were not sufficient to illu
minate the room very brilliantly, and
the further end lay buried ia a sort
of semi-obscurity. . Madame Lucca
was busy reading some letters con
cerning engagements when suddenly
1 . . . . . 1 l 1 1 tlL.
sue tmagiueu sue uearu a noise, one
looked around, but seeing nothing,
concUded she had node a mistake,
and resumed tho pornsal ,of the let
ters. Sue had forgotten all about the
noise when she heard it again. . This
time instead of looking around, she
happonod, without moving her head,
merely to raise ber eyes to tue glass.
She beheld reflected in it the face of
man peering cautiously from out a
cupboard behind her. At first she
fancied sne was dreaming, cue qui
etly looked again. , No, it was no
dream. . mere was tue man, wnom
she now recognized as having been
formerlv In ber service, and bad been
discharged for .bad behavior. She
had also suspected him of purloining
several objects, wulcn sne bad ralBsed
from time to timo, but, not being cer
tain on this point, ho had kept hor
suspicions to herself. Yes, there he
was t there could be no mistake about
the matter. Madame Lucca's .first
impulse was to start up and give the
alarm. . But there was not another
habitation within a mile or two, And
she recollected thttt the only person
beaido herself id the house was ber
maid; who though a very good girl,
and extremely attached to ber mis
trees, was by no means celebrated
for her nerve. The other servants,
including the trardener. and coach
man, had been granted permission to
attend a friend's wedding, some mileg
off, and were not to return till the
next day. What was to be. done!
All at once she ' remembered that a
revolver belonging to her Ivasband,
the Baron von Rhaden, out to be ly
ing oa a shelf in the ' dining room i
but she was not sure. . "il it was
there, and I eould only get it,'' she
tnouirbt. "I Should not minif
While1 she was reflecting a knock
was heard on the door of her room.
She saw the man instantly draw bock
intd the clipboard and close It after
hint.
She felt rolieved that those two
horrible eves were taken off her i
they ieemed to pieroa her Ilka dog
in.ahe4r.:

"1 told you 1 Would be my ow 0

the onlv thing 1 want is to strewn t
mv limbs a little, for they are cramp- -eel
from long sitting."
Speaking thus, Madame Lucca
arose with art air of admirably actod
induTorence, and took a turn or two
across the room, passing close to the
cupboard as she cud so. bhe after
ward declared that sue thought she
could hear tho man breathe in his
hiding place. He, on his part,
might have beard my uoart beat, all
said, whort, on looking at the key
hole, bhe found the key had been re
moved. ' She was foiled in hor plan,
which hod ton to look him in.
Still her presence of mind did not
desert hor.
"Ah, dear me 1'' she said, gasping,
"1 feci very sloopy 1"
Sleepy, your ladyship I 1 wish l
did,'' replied hor maid "1 don't
fool sloopy, 1 m too frightened. ' ,
"Frlghtenod! Wunt are you
Tightened of, you, foolish gooauT
Nonsense !'' replied Madame Lucca.
"Oh! begging your lativship'ii

jUBt it. How cnu yon bo sure that

Aladaino rauuno Lmcca glanced i t
the cupboard. Her blood ran colcl
she thought she saw the handle turn.
What courso wAiJ she to adopt T She
dared not give ber maid tho slightest
bint of the real slato of matters t she
folt that tho girl would go into a fit

crisis. Scarelv knowing what she
wan doing, Madame Lucca replied at
random:

"What for, your ladyship I Why,
for your money for your jowels, to

The girl might have boon nncon

knife by which she and hor mistress
were doomed to perish.
"What absurdity 1" said Madam o
Lucca, with a forced smile.
As sho spoko hor eye wandered
from tho key holo of tho dreadod
cupboard to that of an adjoining
room. In the Litter thoro was a key.
Her face flushed, and a Binilo, as it
were, of proud inspiration lighted it

A cortain lawyer in San . FrAncisco

A startling exigency arose, and he
bocamo the brave dofendor of that

The lawyer has 'a near neighbor,

thought of her becoming dangerous.
One day when the lawyer was At his
office, and his wife was out shopping
and tho children, left in charge of
the nurse girl, were romping with
the dog, there was a violent knock
ing At tho door which startlod tho
whole house. The girl went to the
door, aud the dog Was there too,
with an expression of interest on hie
oountonanco. When the door was
oponod tho crazy woman forced her
way into tho hull, looking very much
excited. Sho talked and looked
wild, and was evidently raving mod

nurso girl not being alarmod, told
him to ''git out" The manioc Wo
man, it seems, took tho remark as
addressed to hor, soizod the girl by
tho hair, and dragged hor down, and
finally clutchod her throat and com
menced strangling her. , The girl
was powerloss ia the hands of the
manioc, and the childron ran scream

mattors hod token, sprang at the
mad woman with open jaws, aud
fastcnod upon her. Sho loosonod
hor hold on the prostrate girl and
modu her way to tho door in charge
of tho dog. . x Sho stopped OUtsido

no policeman was near.. .The girl
locked tho torriGod children in a
back rcom, and, leaving tho dog to
guard the houso, went put by a back
door, and hastened to tho lawyer's
office. ...
The mnl woman, hearing the
children shrieking iu tho back part
of tho houso and tho barking of the
dog in tho samo direction, loft the
front door nud went around to the
rear of tho houso. Sho sow the chil
