AIIHEOCTAEOIHOIISE
It Wasn't a Burglar That the
Pretty Intruder Encountered.
By CLARI88A MACKIE.
[Copyright, 15>9, by Associated Literary
Press.]
Rosamond Lee walked slowly down
the rose bordered path to the tall stone
wall that inclosed the deserted house
next door. The owners were abroad,
and thero was no prospect of their im
mediate return to inhabit the Octagon
House, as it was called.
Rosamond had made many excur
sions about the neglected grounds and
dreamed many dreams beneath the no
ble trees that rose from th? unkept
turf. She had taken toll of th? bloom
ing flowers and shrubs in their sea
sous, and now she fed the gray squir
rels that raced up and down the green
branches.
Iler family laughed at her fondness
for the Octagon House and predicted a
speedy abandonment when Mrs. Phil
lips came home again, for Mrs. Phil
Hps was old and irascible and much
fenred by Kosamond since she was a
little child.
But on this glorious September day,
when tho late monthly rosea were bor
dering the path with delicate sweet
ness, Kosamond, a fair, sweet rose her
self, thought little of Mrs. Phillips in
distant Berlin. The day was mado for
her? for her alone? and the Octagon
House!
She followed the stone wall to an in
tersecting fence which served as a
stopping stone. In a trice she bad
jumped lightly to the soft turf of tho
other side and sped Bwiftly across tho
dappled green toward tho house.
The crooked piazza, which followed
the outline of tho old house, was cov
ered with Virginia creeper, oven now
turning to brilliant scarlet and gold.
In one coruer where the vines hung
low and formed a curtain wero a long
wicker chair and a pile of Rosamond's
favorite books.
She had tired of reading and was
sitting half drowsy with sleep when a
step on tho piazza roused her. Never
before had any one trespassed on her
chosen retreat.
She parted the vines and peeped
through to discover a man's tall form
bent to peer Into the half drawn shades
of the long windows. He straightoncd
up again, and she saw that bis clothes
were gray and dusty and that white
dust powdered bis dark hair. He was
mopping his forehead vigorously with
a handkerchief, and she noticed that
his hands were bronzed by exposure to
the sun.
That the man was a burglar Rosa
mond had not a doubt. Her heart al
most stopped beating when he glanced
carelessly toward her vino covered re
treat before ho sat down on the top
step to light a pipe.
"He's wondering how to get In,"
murmured Rosamond to herself. "If
only I were brave enough I would go
out and frighten him away, but I am
fearfully afraid of burglars, and yet If
lie should break In and nteal somo of
Mrs. Phillips' pictures I would feel
dreadful, because I have enjoyed her
hospitality unasked." She smiled
thoughtfully rfnd then sat very quietly.
Presently she dropped a book on the
floor and rustled out of her retreat
with a haughty expression on her
sweet face. Tho stranger Jumped to
his feet and pulled off his gray cap.
"I beg your pardon," he stammered.
"I didn't know any one was around."
Rosamond fixed him with a cold
stare while she mentally dccldcd that
he was too good looking to be engaged
in such n nefarious pastime as burglar
izing unoccupied country houses.
She lifted her pretty brows inquir
ingly. "You wished to see some one?"
"Why? er? no. I didn't expect to see
any one here. I thought the place was
vacant," he stammered, knocking his
pipe against the railing and stuffing It
Into his pocket.
"It is not vacant I am here," said
Rosamond bravely.
"So I? er? see," with an air of cha
grln.
"The house Is well protocted."
"1 am glad of that," he said heartily.
Rosamond imagined hie tone was
sarcastic. "Perhaps you wished to see
my husband," she said la a wavering
voice.
The man started violently, and his
eyes forsook her face and dropped to
the ground. "Of course it would be a
pleasure," he said. "Is ho around?"
Rosamond edged closer to tho steps
and ran lightly down to the path be
low. "I will call him. He Is not far
away," she cried breathlessly. Then
she turned and sped swiftly toward
the wall that divided the place from
her home. Onco there, her father
would telephono to the village for as
sistance, and thus the burglary would
bo prevented.
She thought she heard swift steps
behind her, and she renewed her speed
toward the wall. Her heart was beat
ing almost to suffocation as she step
ped on a loose stone. She uttered a
terrified cry as the stone slipped and
sho fell to tho ground.
Now she heard swift steps in reali
ty as the strauger crossed the turf and
bent anxiously above her.
"I hope you have not hurt yourself,"
he said gravely.
"I have sprained my ankle," admit
ted the girl with whit* Hps.
"What were you trying to do? not to
scale the wall?'
"Yes."
"Why? Was your husband orer
there?"
A red flush crept to her brows.
"Yes," she said.
"Shall I call him," asked tho sus
pected burglar frankly, "or shall I
carry you back to the piazza and fcet
you some cold water? Where are tua
servants? Have you occupica tno
house long? My nunt wrote me that
the place was vacant." He hammered
out the questions with remorseless
haste.
Rosamond stared with growing hor
ror. "Who are you? Who Is your
rant?" she gasped In return.
"I am Mrs. Phillips' nephew. My
name's David Phillips. 1 have bought
the piece, and 1 came dowu to look it
over. I was to have met the real es
tate man at the station. He came, but
be forgot the keys, so I walked on.
As he said nothing about the place be
ing occupied, I was surprised to And a
tenant"
Rosamond closed her eyes wearily,
while her brain sought some escape
from her appalling position. She was
angry at having placed herself In such
a situation. She might have known
this good looking young man was not
a burglar. She opened her eyes with
suddonness and looked straight at him.
"I wish you would go away," she
said petulantly.
"Of course. If you wish It. But you
aro suffering. May I not call some one
to help you? I will look for your hus
band, If you will tell me his name."
He stopped awkwardly.
"I haven't any husband," she said
recklessly. "You see, I've been In the
habit of running over here and sitting
on the porch and reading, and today I
saw you looking In tbe window, and I
thought you wero a burglar, and so I
tried to frighten you away by pretend
ing I had a husband. I live next door,
and my name Is Rosamond Lee? so
there! You may laugh If you want to."
"But I don't want to laugh," he said
softly. "I think It was awfully bravo
of you, you know, when you believed
mo to be a desperado. Now, Miss Lee,
you must let me help you home again,
for that ankle needs attention at once.
Permit me as a neighbor and perhaps
later on a friend 1" He stooped and
lifted her in his strong arms and car
ried her through quiet bypaths to a
small gate In the wall and thus up the
rose bordered path Into her father's
care.
Many times after that David Phillips
strode up the rose bordered path to see
Rosamond I-ce. and the following June,
when tbe roses were rioting the gar
den. he claimed her as his own, and to
gether they passed under the portal of
the rejuvenated Octagon House, of
which Rosamond became in fact the
mistress.
