ALLIXGSFOtiD HOUSE.
How Its Burning Brought Things
Out All Rlfjht.
Allingsford House was not very old, nor
was it particularly ltcatitiful; at least the
late Allinjrsfonl Ilous, which is the one 1
am sjKjakinc of, was not. Hut, on the other
hand, the park was one of the noblest in
England, and contained some splendid
hooting. The kennels also, at no great
distance from the house, were renowned
hoth near and far. The enormous trout
caught in the Ailing, which ran through the
park, were often mentioned in the Field, and
had furnished many a day's wot k to tho
local taxidermist. Add to this that the
house was built of red brick and fully in
sured, and perhaps you will not feel so very
much horrified when I ask you to come with
tne and burn it, for that is what I mean to do.
Itcmcmbcr what a godsend it will lie to
conversational local dinner parties for the
next six months. What n story for mine
host at the Eagle in tho villnpe to tell for the
rest of his lire. Then think of the now
quarry at Cutstono, which has just started
working, and of young Mr. Smith, the sci
entific architect, who has scarcely had a
single job since he designed the Town Hall
bo huccessfully two years ago. 1 admit that,
as a rule, burning down family mansions is
not a nice thing to do, and least of all at
Christmas tunc; but I think that you will
ugree with mo that in this ca- the circum
stances render the act justifiable.
It was Christmas Kve, and most of the
gue-ts had gone to bed, for. indeed it was
long past twelvo o'clock. Hut Sir John and
his brother. Colonel Allingsford, still re
mained in the .smoking room, chatting over
a last pipe and tumbler of toddv.
"Well, it's hi own rnult." said Kir John.
'He's had as good n chance as a man could
wish for, after dinner, alone with hor in the
conservatory for nearly a tiuurter of nu
hour, th"e thermometer standing at cl!;l!tv
flvc If he couldn't pull himself together to
propose then, all I can nay is that ho never
will. The boy ought to be ashamed of him
self." "Vet the youngster is worth a doen of
tho puppies ono meets nowadays." replied
the Colonel. "I shall never forget the day
be got his V. C at Ashallau (.uslin. I fancy
I can see him now, falling back on our
r-areba with scarcely twenty men. and those
two Krupps they had taken out of the Arab
fort. Most fellows would have left the guns
when that ambush attacked, and small
blame either. Not so Harry; he knew that
if tho rebels got them back they could have
riven us tho very deuce of a time of it till
reinforcements came up; so lie stuck to them
like a man, and brought thorn in safely.

"Why doLMn't he ask our niece to marry
him! Any fool can see that he wants to,
and 1 know that Nina wants to. and we all
want them to. Now. if I w-re dead .ipi.ii-t
the match it would have been over and fin
ished long ago. Then the irirl won't help
pull him on either. She ought to iliit with
young Jcrvis "
"Well, well, .Tack: theao things h.ive a
wonderful knack of coming riht when we
least expect. Anvhow. I can't see how our
talking half the night will improve matters.
It's a quarter past one; I'm oiT to bed."
So, after the master or the house had sat
isfied himself that all the fastenings were
secure for the night, the two line old broth
ers strode up stairs together, caudlestick in
band.
"Jack. I believe that window on the stairs
is open; I feel just like sneezing." and the
gallant Colonel pulled out his handkerchief
and with it his pipe, which merrily gamboled
down two ilights of stairs, and then, to
judge by the sound, shattered itself on the
hall store.
"My old;mcers-chanm gone at last ! Never
mind. I hope no one trips up over the stem
to morrow morning Hood night Jack "
Hood-night."
Their bedrooms were both on the first
floor, and in half an hour's time, as befits
healthy old gentlemen with clear con
sciences, they were both Tat asleep.
More than was Captain Henry Melville,
who had been feTcrishly pacing his rc0m
for tho last hour, hardly knowing what he
t bought of or what he did. Promoted out of
his turn for distlapuished service, he was
the youngest Captain in her Majesty's
urmy. aud.with his slight figure, clear akin,
and tho very smallest attempt at a mus
tache, looked a mere boy. Though no rela
tion or the Allingrords, he had been knows
to both brothers from his cnildltood, and
was now in tho last week or a long visit to
their house. Two months before he had
found that he was looking forward to this
visit with special impatience, though not
for one minute would he have admitted it.
Now that it was nearly over there was no
concealing from hiniself that he was head
over ear ia love with Nina Darlington, the
Baronet's niece. Bat however brave he
was ia the ield of battle. Master Harry
ia this aKair showed a lamentable want of
courage.

been amuMng herself before she went to
bed. Her sketch book and iienells are
Kcattcrcd about on the dressing table, so
she must have been drawing; and. to judge
oy the litter in the fender, she seems to
have torn her drawing up into very little
pieces and burned most of them. Luckily,
I was looking over her shoulder all the
time, sol can tell you what she drew. First,
she drew a young maa on horseback; then
she turned the paper over and drew an
other young man in knickerbockers and
a Norfolk jacket, with a gun on bis shoul
der. Then, takirg a fresh pieco of paper,
she drew a third, in a patrol jacket and
regulation boots, with a drawn sword in his
right bund, which with his left he seemed to
be frantically calling to smie ono behind
him to come on. Oil ! of course, we can see
it all now. They are all n.eaut for the same
person, and that person Lj Harry Melville;
but he's not nearly so tall or so well propor

Ju:it now she is dreaming, dreaming that

appreciated it so much, and sits down in

the place so terribly hot. Then she fancies
that every one who passes is looking at her,
and is even certain that icop!e nt the end of
the room aro iwinting at her. Then sho saw
some onn pointing her out to an attendant,
who forthwith accosted her: "Ueg pardon.
Miss, but you're sitting on the stove. It's
made just like a bench; but it's a stove, and
my borders aro iositivo no ono sits on tho
stove."
Nina thought that this was really too bad,
and fairly lost her teiuor. "It's not right,"
she said, "to make the stoves so like tho
s"ats if you don't want people to sit on
them; but I knew what it was. and came
here because I was cold." "Oh !" "And I'm
going to stay here as long as I choose."
And disdaining further argument, she too
out her cataloguo and pretended to bo ei -grossed
in its perusal.
Very socn she could feel the heat under
her beyond a doubt, and most unpleasantly.

disliked, were saying that she would never

minutes; it was worse. Four minutes and
a half four minutes fifty seconds; it was
stilling at la,t! and she woke up with a
start.
What a terrible r.mell or smo'ce: her
dream had Iven founded on fact. The house
must be on lire. Lighting a candle, she
ran to I he door and looked down the wind

open the door at the bottom orit and a great

tho habit of keeping n little bund Icor woolen
and chamois cloths, greatly besmeared with

Ing. As he gathen-d himself together for a
third try, Nina thrust a garden hammer into
his hand. It was a small but fairly heavy
one, which she uedfor nailing up tho creep
ers. A few blows with thl, another pull,
the bolt yielded, and Harry threw back the
trap. Sitting in the opening, he pulled Nina
up to his own level, and they were both on
the roof.
Except for a little gable in the middle, ths
roof was flat. On one side and under the
turret was the blazing house; but on the
other, some twenty feet lower, tvo the roof
of tho laundry, which. Ixdng to windward,
had so far entirely escaped thecontlagration.
A watcr-pqie, standing out about two inches
from the wall, took tho draiuings from the
gutter round tho turret to a small rain
water cistern Used against the wall Just
alaive the laundry. It was down this that
they must go.
To climb down twenty feet by a small
water pipe with only one hand and your
legs to hold on by. and to supjwrt a lady
with the other, is no easy feat even for a
strong man and an athlete, and Harry was
neither. But love and desperation gave him
both strength atid skill to Mffonn the
descent safelv. Only when, about half way
down, first his legs and then his hand came
in contact with an iron supjort to tho pipe.
did he feel a momentary pain. And no
wonder; for passing through the wall and
being clinched on the inside, it was nearly
red hot. A gre.it tongue of flame shooting
out from one of the side windows enabled
those below to see what was hapieniug. A
ladder was placed against the laundry wall,
and amidst ltistly cheers they were quickly
half helped, half carried in safety to the
ground.
Thunks to the blanket, Nina had eseajHsl
nearly scot free, but Harry Melville was
badly, though perhaps not dangerously,
hurt. His left band in particular was ter
ribly burned. The doctor was among the
lookers-on and ordered him to bed at the
Kagto at once, while he himself hurried off
for the lotion and other necessaries to dress
his wounds.
Tho ladies wcro accommodated with beds
or 'shakedowns'' at tho vicarage; tho gen
tlemen hail plenty to do in helping their
host and his servants. Of course, next to
nothing could be saved from the bouse; it
was enough to bo thankful for that do lives
had been lost. The horses were blindfolded
and led away; tbo carriages and harness
were also saved. Then it was decided to
destroy u great straw stack lest the wind
should shift and tho fire lie communicated
to that and thence to the lodge. Hy this
time all the village was afoot, ho that there
was no lack or hands. A groom hud been
dispatched for the fire engine at the tlrst
alarm, and meanwhile a couple of garden
1i.jsu were played on the lire, but without
any appreciable result. About dawn the
engine arrived, and commenced operations
on the slowly ubsiding conflagration.
Though it was kept only four miles from
Allingsford, the "man who understood it"
slept nearly six further on, whereby, as the
obstructionist town councilor observed at
the next meeting, "considerable time was
lost." It was broad day ere Sir John, his
brother, and guests, having done all that
men could do, and thankeipthc villagers for
their willing help Iwth verbally and prac
tically this la-t by having a cask of treble
X broached in the yard-drove off to Lord
tf rand worth's, who had placed his house at
their disposal.
So it camo about that the Baronet sjsjnt
his Christmas morning in bed. In the alter
noon he rode over to see Harry, calling at
the vic.nage on his way. Here, clad mostly
in divssing gowns, tho ladies from AlHugs
ford House received him in remarkably
high pirits, notwithstanding that they had
lost all theipos'-e.Mor.s. Only Nina, in one
of tho vicar's daughter's dresses, accom
panied him to tliciuius, which were still
smoking sulkily. It was nut an inspiriting
sight, and they soon turned their .steps in

ally burning his nose, he wh:kiil away in
great wrath, and so upset the turjiot.tine
bottle, to which there was no cork. In u:i
instant the floor for a yard round wa;
covered with burning spirit. There was
nothing to Mop tho flames, which caught
first the umbrellas, then the hall table and
the woodwork of the stairs, and then the
wainscoting, and any thing and every thiug
that there was to catch.
Harry Melville was the first to give the
alarm but too late for the slightest hoje or
extinguishing the .huac. In f.u-t. when
once a large house, dry and airy and larpelv
titled with woolwork, has fairly caught tiro

The front staircase would soon bo impassa

tho only thing to do was to lose no time in
saving the women and themselves. When
Harry saw this his first thought was for
Nina, and he tone up stai-s with the flames
litbrully at his heels. It was ho who ojeued
the door at the bottom or tho corkscrew
stair, admitting the volumes pf hot smoke
as they rolled fiercely upward. He saw her,
cat.dle in band, when she fell buck, blinded
and coughing; the next moment ho had her
in bis arms. He thought that there was
still time to make a dash for it. down thj
fiery stairs: It was the only chance to save
her lire. Ono moment to wrap a blanket
round his darling as a protection against the
hungry flames, and then for tho rush.
Whether he lived or died afterward did not
matter if he could only struggle on to the
bottom, where other hands would be ready
to take charge of his precious burden. That
moment's delay saved both their lives, for
just as he snatched the blanket from the
bed, when, if they had started at first, they
would have been half way down the first
flight, came a bang 1 crash: aa with a deafen
ing noise a portion of the outer waU of the
room and the whole of the corkscrew stair

half the b title. 1 shall telegraph to Loudon
for a nur-e, and we ought to pull him

"Take her and one of the maid, too,

you go and sec about it"
"Shan't we send u mes-agc. unclel" said
Nina. 'Then you and I will wait in the

"Perhaps that would be lest," aid the
docjnr. "1 am going to the vicarage, and

They entered the inn and went up stairs
to the sick-room, the doctor leading the
way. As ho opened the door he held his
linger to bis lips as a sign for them to be
silent. Captain Melville was sleeping
soundly.
"Splendid 1" said the doctor as soon as
they were outside again. "But 1 takeno
credit to myself. A good constitution,
that's what's doao it. If he only sleeps on
for a couple of hours now he is us good as

soup being made for him down stairs. He
ought to have it the moment he wake. In
fact. Miss Darlington, I think that the fcot
plan would be to keep it in the room on tbo
hob."
"Uncle," said Nina. at soon as he bsd
gone and the landlady had been dispatched
for the soup.
"Yes. my dear."
Captain Melville has asked me to marry
him." It was lucky that they were not in
