Tho Story of uu A vurieimia Inch', Si veil -ty-llva Thfutsuml lit (.ultl uml a Small Hoy Who tint tho lt'nt ot a I) t. ring lldhhcr. (CopyrlKlit, INS, ly Charles II. Lewis. My Unclu lien :is it singular lninisii singular that in this day nml tine every lioily wimlil have cnlleil liini a crank of tin) Hrst Krnili!. In the first i.Iik-c, liu never marriod; in thu next, lie built liimself n Iioiiso which went ly the inline of "the jail;" nij.iin, lie solil a lot of lauil for T.",(X) und kept every dollar of the money in the house for years; lastly, I wiih the only rela tive or oilier person lie would admit to the house or trust with a dollar. I went to live with L'ncle Hen when I wax lifter!) years old. lie wan then a man of sixty anil not over well.' I don't know how he nml father fixed it tip, but I went to "tho jail" ns a sort of assistant to the old man. I don't know but I wasaKoa companion, though there wetrj days at a time when he did not speak to me. He lived in the oil district of Pennsylvania, and the land be sold went to men in the oil business. Mostly with his own hands l'ncle Hen btiilttlie solid stone, house in which lie kept the big treasure. It was a one story house, with walls over two feet thick. There were iron bars and iron shutters to the three or four windows, an iron door front and back, and the roof was of lioilcr plate. There was only ono room in the house. This was parlor, bedroom, diniiiL; room and kitchen combined. The furniture was of the plainest, as were also our meals. There was a back yard about a hundred feet sipiiire, mid this was surrounded by a board fence sixteen feet hih. There was also an Iron door in the fence. The house was two miles from a store, and one reason l'ncle Hen wanted me was to run back and forth, lie had dctc mined never to leave the house by itself, though no f-'.'inL! of burglars could have effected an entrance by workim,' all day. The money was all in pild, nml kept in a new oil barrel In n corner of the room. DuriiiK my first six months the old in.iti was never away. During the next six lie Juailu two trips to the stint'. If one of us went into 1 lie back yard, t he iron door was shut and fastened, and it was not opened aKiiin, except we (.'live a certain signal. We were worse oil than convicts. Only one window was opened at a time, nml we simply sat there and killed time as best wo tuiftlit. We had no books or papers, no irames, only now ami then a conversation, l'ncle lien expected to be attacked every hour, but no one could prevail upon him to put Ins money in the bank. One day, w hen I bail been at "the jail'1 over it year, someone shoved a Ictterunder tho door. It was for l'ncle Hen. It pur ported to be from a man who wanted to buy a piece of land, and who nflercd such n bin price for it that uncle decided to pi to t lie town, six miles away, and deal with him. The would be buyer fixed an inter view for 0 o'clock in the evening. It was now November, and it would be dark at that hour. I'ticlo Hen didn't like the idea of returniiiK on foot after that hour, as it was a rough and unset tied country, but he finally decided to risk it. 1 re left "the jail" at half past 4, but nut until he had cautioned me over and over again. I was not to open d ior or window except at his signal, which was five raps repealed three times. The only weapons we had were two clubs which he hail cut in t he forest, lie was too stingy to buy firearms. As soon as the old man had gone I upset thu barrel of gold on thu door and sat down to count it. He had several littles allowed me to count out. $."1,0011, but alw ays ended up by declaring that thu rubbing of the coins was causing him too great a loss. I can tell you that the sum of $T."i.lsH) in yel low gold pieces live, tens and tw enties is n sight to interest people a great deal o'dcr than I was, and it wasn't five minutes tie fore I had forgotten all else. I thin!-: I had counted out eleven piles of Jl.ftotieaoli w hen I heard I tide Hen s signal. e bad no clock, but it seemed to me that he had not had time to go and return. I made all haste to scoop the gold into the barrel, but before this was accomplished tho signal had been repeated several times. Know ing how annoyed uncle would be, 1 took down the bar ami shot back the bolts as rapidly ns possible. As the door opened n strange man walked in, and his first move was to turn around and make things se cure. I had retreated to the other end of the room, and nil the light we had was a single candle. Tho man was so cool and quiet that I was surprised instead of being frightened. When lie turned to me, how ever, my heart jumped into my mouth. Downs n tail, solid fellow, with a dark skin and coal black eyes and hair. I knew little of men at that time, hut instinct warned me that this man was a villain. De looked all around (ho room, as if tak ing in even the most trilling objects, and by and by be advajiced towiihin three feet of me and said: "Hoy, set out everything good to eat you've got in thu house!" We had some cold pork, part of a plate of beans and some Indian bread, and 1 hus tled the stuff, onto the table. "No coffee or ten?" he gruffly demanded. "No, sir." "Don't you lio to me, you young wolf! The old man always keeps whisky. Hring me the jug." Uncle Uen was not a drinking man, but always kept n little whisky as a medicine. There was aliout a pint in the jug, and tho man poured it, out into n basin and drank most of it before he ate a mouthful. Then he fell to and cleared off the table. When thu lust crumb had been eaten he pulled out a pipe and filled nml lighted it and said to me: "If you lio to me I'll skin you alive! Where does the old man keep his money!''' I pointed to thu barrel, and he walked over to it and uttered a shout of surprise nud delight. To make things plain to you, I wnnt to relate what had happened to my uncle. I'ottr men, three of whom were strangers to that locality, lrnd formed a plot to rob him. They hnd taken posses sion ot an old shanty in the woods a mile away, and one of them hul written tho letter as a decoy. As he came along on his way to town ho was seized and taken to tho Bhnnty. lly threats of torture they made him reveal the signal. One was left to guard him, while one camu on to the house, and the other two started off to get a horse and wagon which they had In the town. They knew the money was In gold and they were to carry It off in the wagon. The robber who had come to the house was In no hurry, as he could do nothing with out the others. He upset the barrel just as I had done, nud then sat down and gloated over the heap of coin. It was a sight calculated to make him good na turod, nnd pretty soon a smile covered his face nnd his tones softened up as lie said: "That's a grand sight, boy a grand sight! Just think of what thnt heno of gold will bay! I'll never have to work an other day as long ns I live!" "Hut it belongs to Uncle P,en, sir!" I pro tested, having now but little fear ot tbe man. "He'll never see a piece of it ngaln!" he chuckled. ''He may count himself lucky to get off with his life. What an old fool he is to keep a fortune in his house! 1 ex pect I'd have been forced to kill him if he had been home." "If he hod lieen home you wouldn't have got in," 1 replied. "Maybe not. Pretty cute old chap, they say. Jlring me tho rest of that whisky." I handed It to hi in nnd he drank it all. It was good liquor, and the quantity and quality lial the effect to soften him up. Few boys of my age nre heroic I was very much frightened at first, but as ho. grew good nntured I gradually recovered my nerve, and by and by I found myself won dering how I could save Uncle Ben's money. I had forgotten to tell you that the man had a knife and a revolver. When he sat down to the table he placed both on the board, calculating that the sight would have its due effect. When he arose he put both away again, having n scabbard for t he kuife and a holster for the pistol. He had no cause to worry alioiit lne, knowing that he could break my bones in bis grip. I won dered greatly how he could take matters so coolly, having no suspicion of what had hap pened to the old man, and I can truthfully say that I began to make plans. As the liquor affected his brain lie grew jolly and began to sing. I could now have made my escape by way of the back door had I so wished, but I was thinking beyond that. There was reason to bclicvcthnt the liquor would finally overcome lain, and I would wait for that period and I ie him hand and foot. For the space of half an hour the robber wag jolly tight. Then he began to sober up and resume his former deineti c He ordered me to pull the straw ticks off the beds and empty them, anil then to divide tho gold into two portions ami tie each portion ill a tick. He sat. look!' : at me while I worked. When the liuii -were made up to his sat isfaetion he oidi n d me to drag them to the front door. Drag is the proper word, as it was all I could do to move one along the floor. As I was re turning for the second portion tin- man rose up and looked into the barrel and shook it. A single coin had been left, in there, and as it milled about he bent, over to feel for it. As I told you before, it. win a new barrel, stout and thick. I no sooner caught sight of him wit it lieu! ..ml shoul ders and both arms in the barrel, and his left foot off the floor, than my line of act ion I'ame toiuewitii theswiftnessof lightning. I sprang forward and seized his right leg and exerted all my strength, nnd il was sufficient to land hint in t he barrel. His bead went to the bottom, while his feet stuck up in the air, ami no rubber was ever in n worse box. His struggles would have upset the barrel had I put been there to prevent. He kicked furiously, but his feet had only a limited play and I had no I rou ble in avoiding them. I own thai I was badly rat t led, knowing thnt he won hi min der me if lie got loose, but still 1 had no thoughts of giving up. Ill our struggles we moved t he barrel all over the room, but I managed to keep it on end all the time. What I feared for the first five minutes was that the robber would get hold of his pistol and fire at my legs through the bar rel, but as we struggled around I saw that the weapon 'was jammed fast against the side of the barrel with the butt toward me. It couldn't have been over ten minutes be fore the man became perfectly quiet, over come by the rush of blood to his head. I slewed the barrel against the foot of uncle's bedstead, got down the clothesline from its peg and live niiuules later I had man and barrel and bedstead so firmly lashed together that I 110 longer felt any fear. 1 he work had only been iiceoniplishcil when I heard Uncle Hen's signal at. the door. I had learned caul ion, as you may suppose, und I called to know w ho was there. As noanswer was made I refused to open. The signal was repeated again and again, and when I Kept silence the parties finally I: t rayed themselves. I hey were the two men wit li the horse and wagon. "John! John! Are you in I here?" shout ed one as he pounded on the door. "lie must be!" I heard the other observe, "Then why doesn't he hear us and open the door? if he diiln t succeed 111 fool in the boy and getting ill he'd be around here somewhere of course. Let'stry him again." He pounded on the door with a stone and made noise enough to awaken the dead but I still remained quiet. "Look here, Hill," said the fellow as he ceased Ids efforts, "John has played us a scurvy trick, lie's got the gold and lit out." "It he has we'll hunt him to his death If ho got in, how happens the door to lie locked!"' "Dunnn, but there's something wrong somewhere, Let's bust thu cussed thing off its binges." The two Hung themselves against, the door Willi full force, but it was too st rung for them. Then they hunted around for a log to use as a battering ram, but, could find nothing in tho darkness. Finally puzzled what to make of the situation, they called out to me: "Hoy! boy! Open the door. If you do, wo promise not to hurt you. If we have to blow it dow n witli a torpedo, we'll kill you for sure! I felt that silence was tnv strongest weapon, and so it proved. After an bill they became alarmed and made off and I heard nothing more from them. All this timo I had kept an eye on the mail in tho barrel, but ho hnd not. moved or cried out, It was aliout midnight when tiie two men left. They went back to the shanty, held a whispered consultation with tho sentry and after a few minutes tho trio rode off toward town. Uncle Hen was bound and gagged, and as soon as be was alone he lie gnu the work ot freeing himself. This! accomplished after awhile, and believin that he had been robbed he also made for town to report his loss. Three ollicers started for home with him, and it was day light when they arrived. hen tho lash ings were cost olf and my prisoner was pulled out of tho barrel he was dead and stiff. He probably died wit hin the first half hour. In the fingers of bis right hand was clutched a ten dollar gold piece t lie coin which had lured him to his death. No one could identify the man, nor was either of tho others ever arrested. Everybody called mc a brave, cool heiuled lad, and plenty ol people came to look at me ami pat me on tho back, but I didn't deserve a word of praise. I simply acted on impulse, and 1 was scared half to dentil most of the time. All the Symptoms. Little Dot I kiu'ss Dick is oin to marry Lury Locket when he grows up. Mamma You do? Why?
