the fastenings of cash boxes, and deposi

in all this? no food for speculation ?
in Bcopo for tho rmirjii of pleasant taucy?
Then, who would not bo a locksmith.

But I have a story to tell not exactly
a story, either for a story implies the
completion as well as Ihe beginning of a
nnrrntivoi and mino is scarcely more
than the iutrt dilution to one. Let him
who deals in fancy write the rest.
In tho spring of 183(5, 1 think it wna
in April, I opened a little nhop on Kear.
noy street, and soon worked myself into
a fair business. Late ono evening, a
lady closely veiled, untoreH niyshop,
and pulling from beneath a cloak n small
japanned box .requested me to open it.
Tlie lock was curiously constructed, ami
I was ull of an hour litting it with a key.
The ludy deemed nervous at tho delay,
nnd at length requested niu to close the
door. I was a little surprwod nt tho
suggestion, but of course complied.
Shutting the door and returning to my
work, the ludy withdiow her veil, ilinclo
sing m sweet a faeo hh can well be iinag.
med There was a restlessness in thu
eye, and a pallor in the eh- ok. Iiowpvtr,
which" pluiuly told of a huart ill al ease,
and in a moment every emotion for her
had given place to that of pity.
'I'erhaps you are not well, madam,
and the nihl air is too chilly ?' said I,
rather inquisitively.
I felt a rebuke mi her reply : 'In re
questing you lo clone to door, I lmd no
other object than to escape the attention
of persons.'
I ilid not reply, but thoughtfully con
tinued my wi'ik. Slio resinned! That

in turning tho lock, I was seized w ith

ami proceeded to the door. I pushid

What do you waul?' I abruptly en
qu'ned. 'I will tell you,' answered thu game
soft voice, 'if you daro open the dour
wide enough for me to enter.'
'Como in,' said I. resolutely, throwing
tho door ajar and proceeded to liuht. a
candle. Having succeeded, I turned to
examine tho Visitor. Ho was a small
and neatly dressed gentleman, wilh a
heavy Itaglan around his shoulders, nnd
a blue navy cap drawn suspiciously over

'Well, then, if it is absolutely necessary

'You have gone quilo far enough,

'As I said,' sho continue!1, -you are
