[Original.]
There was a commotion In Snrasoo
Hall, where a bouse party composed of
wealthy British people wa* making
merry. Lady Barnickel, the wife of
Sir Michael Barnickel, on retiring to
her room to go to bed missed a brooch
In which was a rose diamond her hat-
band had brought her from InJla and
which he bad procured from one of tbe
native princes. It wsa of priceless
value. Every guest was known to be
above suspicion except Edgar K -n-
worthy, a young American. ^ i-
worthy was a student at Oxford, v re
he was trying for the honor of ser;.jr
wrangler, a distinction to lie obtained
only by proficiency In the higher
mathematics.
Lady Barnickel declared that b«r
brooch could not bare been stolen from
her by a servant, for she did not trust
servants and took care not to expose
her Jewelry to them. It must have bo-
come unriuM|*ed during the evening of
Its loss and been picked up by some of
ber associates. At any rate, no servant
bad come near ber In tbe evening. A
number of persona had been with ber,
among tbeoi Ken worthy. Lord Sara-
son directed personally a search of tbo
house ami grounds, but tbe brooch was
not found. An unspoken opinion grad-
ually settled upon the gnests that Ken-
worthy knew something about tbe loaa
of the treasure.
The first intimation he had that be
•as suspected was from Miss I.ucy
Trevor, a young ludy to whom be had
been devoted, who gave him a hint
He showed such unaffected surprise
tbat tbu girl had no doubt of his inuo-
eenee from tbat moment. Hut she had
Influence with the others. Ken-
worthy. after learning of the position
he oecopled, went to his room to think.
Either the brooch must lie found or be
must endure the obloquy of being con-
sidered it thief.
That night after all had gone to bed
Miss Trevor, whose room overlooked
the front luwn, heard some one be-
neath ber wludow and saw a dark
figure pouring something out of a wa-
tering pot on the grass. Either hia
build or walk or some other feature in-
dicated to ber that he was Ken worthy.
The figure soon passed too far away
to lie visible, and Miss Trevor went to
bed wondering. She wondered still
more the next morning when one of
the guest* asked, "Who was that |ier-
ambulatlng over the lawn with a lan-
tern before daylight this morning?"
She did not catch what followed, but
she naturally put tbe remark wltb
what she had seen. Then when she
went out ou the terrace she saw a
number of guests looking at the lawn,
which bad lieeu divided Into square*
by lime lines, the process uxe<l la
marking lawn tennis courts. These
squares had been made during the
I night, and no one could tell who had
made theui. The host denied any
knowledge of tbe work, aud none of
the gnests attempted to explain It.
j Miss Trevor looked on with the others
I and said uotbing.
j Tbe mystery of tbe squares on the
lawn enguged the attention of the
I household all that day. The only per-
l son who dhl not appear to take any
Interest In tbe matter was Ken worthy,
who sat over sheets of paper ou whicb
be wa* figuring or poring over a ImkjU
on optics. At luucheou time be left
his book* aud papers ou a table ou the
torrai-e, and tbey were examined by
several persons, hoping sotr.e c.idence
could be adduced from tbe .a to con-
vict tbe American of theft.
The next night one of the guests,
whose room overlooked the lawn, was
awakened by aeelug u light through
the sists of a window blind. He got
up. went to tbe window and looked out.
A light was moving ou tbe lawn. And
a very alngular motion It wss. Tbe
light would go. say, to tbe right, then
at a rlgbt angle, then at another and
•till another rlgbt angle. Tills process
wa* retteatud over and over again.
What did It meunV
The watcher kept his post till the
mouotony of the moving light made
him Sleepy, when lie went l«ack to tod.
In the morning he Informed the house-
hold that the place must lie haunted.

"1 say." said a friend tbe other day,
"you are an old hand at It. I have
only Just got married, and don't under-
stand much about the bmdneaa, but haa
a married man any rights left whea
be once assumes tbe hymeneal respon-
sibilities?"
"Rights? Yes. lots! He's a right

"Stop. I mean this. Let me give
you an Instance. Every box and
drawer and portmanteau and. In fact,
•very available receptacle of every

"Hold bard! I know what yon mean.
Listen, young man. If your bedroom
were 200 yards long and lined
from tbe floor to tbe ceiling with
drawers and you wanted a place to
stow away a couple of collars, you
couldn't And a nook tbat wasn't full of
