Gentlemanly Intruder with Thievish
Intention Compliments the One
Who Foiled Him.
Thieves, If the adage may be trusted,
have a fine senes of humor. This Is the
story of one who was enough of the
Abe gentleman to recognize ability and
admire it, even when its possessor had
foiled his best laid! plans for generous
loot.
One afternoon a few days ago the ml*
tress of oae of the most beautiful of the
new houses along Riverside drive went
ant In her carriage, with the information
that she should not return for several
bourn at least. About four o’clock the
bell mug, and the maid went to the
dsur. Opening It, she found, smiling In
a psttts and friendly manner, a tall, dis
tinguished looking sad well dressed man.
Who requested the privilege of seeing
Mrs. Blank for a moment on business ad
Importance.
“Mrs. Blank has gone out and left no
word as to when she will come back,1*
mid thn mdd.
"*Kas the been gone langfM inquired
the polished stranger.
“About two hours,” said the maid.
“Unfortunate,” murmured the
stranger, in a vexed voice. “It is so im
portant. May I come in and wait for •
short time? She may return.**
The maid led the way into the recep
tion hall and bade the elegant stranger
be seated. He settled himself comforta

rare bronzes ornamented the tables and {
the mantels. The maid sat at a respect
ful distance, with her profile severely
outlined by a window. Fifteen minutes
passed. The stranger stirred uneasily
In his deep chair. He spoke:
"I beg pardon, bat I think it will hard
ly be poaaible for me to wait loager. I
shall therefore leave a message for your
mistress. Would yon mind providing
tie with paper and pencil?”
The maid bowed respectfully aad
touched an electric button. The polite
■tr&nger watched her with Interest An
other maid appeared.
"Annette, this gentleman desires fee
(gave a note for madam. Will yon please
get paper and pencil from the study?"*
She returned to her polite attitude
sear the window. Her profile was re
markably well defined. The pencil and
paper were brought and handed to the
polite stranger. He did not begin writ
ing at once. He paused, as If in thought
Then he looked long and keenly at the
allhoutte of the maid against the win
dow, and wrote briefly. The note was
Inclosed in the envelope and sealed. He
lose to hts feet, and with a profound bow
handed it to the respectful and attentive
maid.
"Kindly give this to your mistreat j
No, It will not be necessary to leave my
sard. She will understand perfectly."
He bowed and was gone. The maid
watched him until his smooth silk hat
disappeared from view.
A few minutes later her mistress re
turned, and the maid handed her the
no!*. “A gentleman left ft, madam,
asking that I should give it to you lm- j
mediately you returned.”
Her mistress handled It curiously, ob- :
served the address with some doubt and
opened the envelope. She read care
fully twice and then looked inquiringly
at the maid. “What does this mean,
Nary?” she asked. "Here, read It"
Mary took the note and read It She
smiled slightly as she banded-tt back.
"He means, madam, that he did not
