I ll tell you a story of how I once saved
my life, entirely through having learned

"There were too little boy., who used
to cmnn and stay with Frank and ine, when
we were br-t married, ana they could ne.tn-
er bear nor speak
"They were deaf and dumb ; they could
not talk except with their fingers-.o-ouly

"Frank ud I b artied this foreign alpha.
bet on purpose, that we might undcr-tam
what thee foor lads bad to say. I'hev
.ere quick and clever; they could read and
j write. y. and draw and sew. and do many
other things which most boys aould make
but a very bad band at.
They could play at draughts, and back-
gammen, .no ciM-s-, .nn ai io ai... pet-sr,
as .,11 as any boys. They could .Imo-t
ace what we said, though they could not
bear, with such quick eager eye. did they ,,out robbers again, I supple, you billy

I but something delayed him, so that he
, was not able to l.-ave before the night ex
press I was not iu very good health, and
j retired to my bedroom about to hours be
j fore his departure ; he promised, however,
, to come up and oish me good by before he
started, which would be bet ecu twelve aud
one o'clock in the morning. T he matter
which called him away was connected with
(the bank here, which had just been burned
dou; and my huhand, it seems, though I
did not know it at the time so great a
secret bad he endeavored lo keep il had
many thousand pouud- belonging to the con
cern in his temporary possession, locked
op in the irola sale iu our bedroom, where
the plate was kept. He was l ank manager,
and responsible for the whola of it. It was
winter-time, and there was a fire in the
room, so bright and comfortable that I was
in no hurry lo leave it and get into bed, but
sat up. lookinu into the fiery coals, and
