I exclaimed;
"Oh, Sally, there in a dreadful lool.iug

. . . Sally picked p the poker nn I walked

, Ilere was a ileiuma! Sally 'i 'n't want
to leave inc. u-n-.l unless .-he started home
then she miglit not se her i;i;;'her nlive.
It was nearly time for the re .4 of the
folks to come home. k i t::ui.ig d .:
raiso coufage enough to ray I wan will
ing to remain alone.
IA a few minute Rally was o!T. nn 1 I

I remembered that none of our doors
could be locked.' Fnpa. who ha I a few
strange ideai declared locks were a nui
sance. I felt that I wax doomed.
On each side of onr yard wis a brook,
pretty and paeeable in pleasant weather,
but a very little rain tianxformed them
both into raging torrents. As I stood at
the window I saw first one bridge nu I
then the..-other swept off. I knew now
that I must stay alone,?!! night. It wnnl l
be impossible for my brother an ! vl-iters
to get home. J Travelers, or. as Sal'y call
ed them, "tranpers." often stopped nt
onr house overnight, as there wan no pub
lic bouse near. To my horror. J now xnw
. one of them coming across t!;e fields.
Without stopping to knmk. the great.
- rough man walked in.
"Can I stay here H nighty
I dared not refuse Mm. no a firmly a
I could I answered. "Yes." Ue'seeme-I
surprised at seeing no one but myself and
questioned me much. ! toH" him my
brother was up stairs wrirbir; that we
two wer alone. That was t!ie fl st th'ii?
that entered my hea l to tell him. Sw.-h
a villainous countenance as that man

Bedtime came, and I directed the man
to a room up stiit" in the servants'
apartment. wl:cre I n!J thy brother was.
Now. that there was real daniVr I was
' calm and fr(yisonnb!e. I fastened the
door that led n stairs with my embroi !
ry scissors, which -hormone'! ti be li my
pocket, so ns to .marl against nrn'1e,
and, nnrrledly colkftiajr ocr s l.e'wnro,
carried it to mamma's room and hid It
In the bed. .
I was elatet at my Inrenriry. .
. . I then hunted np ihnt few Jewels the
girls possessed and; pTaeing thera. with
;,what money I eonld find, in a box.' tied
them in my pocket. After doing fhis I
. stole down stairs; aqd rettoTef? my seis
' sors from the door. Those rlwirs were
. counted amon my most valvabte treas
ures. S I bad had then many years and
1 bad no intention of losing them nWi 1 -"

wait till I beard my lotfgerin the rooms
