I never had that stratum of timidity in my make-up peculiar to , womanhood, and so they rode. away. “ I sang about my work as I put the things in shape around the room, and viewed the brilli .nt sunset, without a fear or care. “Thomas, our new man-of-all-work, was very busy puttering about the l grounds, tying up grapevines and mulch- ‘ ing evergreens. I knew that there was some coarse after-math upon the hill that fatner was anxious to have put on the strawberry beds, and seeing Thomas go up there with his basket, I tied a ’scarf over my head, took another ba;ket, and went up to help him. “As I passed up the bill I saw a man in the highway speak to him.

I arose, closed the win-l dow, and obeying some strange, impres- sive power, I walked through the hall into the library. took my father’s key from its accustomed place, unlocked his desk, found the package of $5,000 and placing it in my bosom, relocked the door, and returned to the sitting-room. I did not light a lamp; I had no need ‘02' a fire, as that in the kitchen stove hwarmed the Sitting-room sufficiently in ltlm mild weather. “The house was old-fashioned, very, ' with a chimney of capacity sufficient for a foundry stack. We had cheerful i open fires later on; but the house, being an ancestral pile, was getting somewhat dilapidated, and the partition separating the fines in the large chimney had fallen in. Men had been sent out to clear the rubbish and make repairs, but the work, “half done, was suspended on account cf the arrival of Captain Boswell and this important business affair. “I would have enjoyed immensely to kindle a sparkling fire in the huge wide fireplace, but as affairs were I could not. So I mused in the darkness for hours. \‘vL. I really took no heed of time, until my quick ear caught the sound of a footfall approaching, close up to the doorâ€"step, I could have taken my oath. It was so l like an echo that I sprang to my feet, thinking that my cousin Milly, absent when my father called, and returning later, had come down to stay with me. I Sprang up with a smile to answer her knock, albeit I was a bit jealous of her pretty face ; but no knock came, and the echoes died out, and altogether ‘I concluded that I deceived myself in regard to them. Any how I would light the lamp. I did so, and was startled to find it past 10 o’clock. I had gotten sufficiently aroused from my rrverie to want a book from the library shelves. I took up my lamp and went singing into the room. ‘ “I gbtained the desired volume, step- ped down from the stool, and go, Thomas, if your so bad. Papa will not will wonder at this," THE WAICHMAN LLNIJS: “If ever any one felt themselves dying I i (lid at that moment, My song died; on my lips, while :t thousand thouéghtsl seemed to .flash into my mind in one instant ’ Immuntarlly I gasped, and; then, with a. strong effort of the will powm, for which I was famous, I took up the song,r again and sang it to a close. “ Among other things I remembered that the lock was off the library door for repairs. I remem'iered the latent-55 of the hour and the possibility that all the people were in bed and asleep. I remembered the tootsteps in the door- yard, andâ€"there was a fresh pu:.gent smell of Looacco smoke in the room. A scent of smoke that was not in the room when I was there and placed the pack- age of money in my bosom. ' K 1 ‘0 v - “Do you wonder that my brain reeled and my heart stopped beating for an instant? Beside, whoever the robber was, he would 50un begin work, not knowing how emly my fat her and the Captain might return. And I should be. murdered. Somewhere within a few yards or a few feet Of me, the robber assassin was concealedâ€"~either in the recess behind the cabinet, or under the long, draped, paper-strewn table. “ A faint sound outsrde nearly made me drop the lamp; still I had uncon- lsciously left my first song and was; smgmg : ‘For his bride a soldier won her, And a winning tongue had he.’ “ I knew that temporary salvationâ€" power and liberty to leave the room, evenâ€"depended upon my appearing unconscious of the robber’s proximity. “ I got out of the liorary and found myself in the sitting-room A hasty glance at the door showed the key was absent; from the lock. “Treachery ! “I wonder that this new revelation did not suffocate“ me. The man on the high wayâ€"the injured brotherâ€"Thomas had betrayed us. He had overheard ‘about the money. A robber was in the house another was outside. My retreat would be cut off. How thoughts ran riot through my mind! How would they ki:1 me? Would I suffer long? At; that instant I was sure I heard a faint creak of the library door at the far end of the hall. 1 “One swift, .lespairing glance around‘ me, one wild idea. of escape, and I exrin- guished the light upon the table. and crouching in the fireplace, I rested one foot upon the iron, swung out the iron crane, stepped the other foot upon the strong support, and rose up into the flue.

The huge flue must have‘acted like a telephone. for I heard every sound with fearful dis- ‘ tinctness.

With direful oaths they rummaged the lower floors, and finally returned to the sitting room. “ ‘I saw the light here last,’ said Thomas moving with his lamp across the room, ‘and here is the lamp on the table.’ “ ‘She must have gone out.’ “ ‘No; I watched for her, and every Window is fastened on the inside.’ Then he continued° ‘Curse her I she’s a witch !’ and bafiled they stood and poured oaths .after me. ‘I’d like to catch and knife her ---> ~ r‘nzwa-z‘m .L‘...‘ ‘IJSAY THURbDAY, MARCH 3.
