A IIIEAVi: 4JIKI..
In iho winter of IS 12 a gcutlcinnn
and liis daughter, a oun; lady,
while traveling through Canada
arrived about nightfall at an old
fashioned tavern. The rcutleiuan
concluded to stop there instead of
going n to the villairo of S ,
which was ten miles distant. His
daughter Carrie expressed her will
ingness, as the tavern presented a
comfortable, appearance, and they
alighted, when il was plain to he
seen that the gentleman was lame,
no much so that ho was obliged to
use a cane.
The landlord came out and calling
.a boy to take the horse and sleigh to
the barn, he ushered Mr. Spencer
and his daughter into a pleasant sit
ting room where a bright lire was
burning on the hearth, which proved
very acceptable to our travelers,
who had been in the sleigh since
morning.
'Your room will be ready by sup
per time, sir,' said the landlord, as
he left the room and went into the
bar-room.
Supper was shortly announced,
and after refreshing themselves Mr.
Spencer and Carrie returned to the
cosy sitting room where they talked
and chatted until half past eight.
They were then shown to their room,
which was on the second story, in a
wing somewhat distant from the
main portion of the house.
The room was very long with a
high ceiling. On the one side was
a window and ou the other a door.
Just above the door was the bust of
King George III. The room was
plainly furnished, containing two
beds, a washstand and a few anti
quated chairs.
Carrie took in the wide room at a
glance, and it must be confessed had
there not been the cheerful lire burn
ing she would have felt nervous
about sleeping there. As it was the
warm glow lit up the room into
comparative cheerfulness.
While she and her lather -sat by
the lire her eyes wandered to the
bust above the door, when she no
ticed that the eye balls had evidently
been knocked out, leaving two
empty spaces.
'Well, Carrie,' said Mr. Spencer
presently, 'I think you had better
lock the door, I am going to count
my money.'
After Carrie had done so he drew
out a money belt, heavy with bills,
and proceeded to count them. While
doing so Carrie's eyes involuntarily
'wandered again to the bust, when to
her horror and amazement in place
of the empty spaces 6hc saw two
glittering eyes eagerly watching
every movement of her father.
The young girl could scarcely
repress a scream ; but controlling
licrsel f looked toward the fire, while
her father went on counting a large
roll of bills.
'I must have been mistaken,' tho't
tho poor girl. 'What should make
mo have such a strange fancy, tho'?
she continued, glancing again at the
bust.
The eyes were still there two
burning savage eyes, that brightened
as Mr. Spencer went on counting.
'Good heavens,' thought Carrie,
'what shall wedol Weare evident
ly in a den of thieves, and will be
murdered for my poor father's
money.'
How to communicate the danger
to her father without those terrible
eyes noticing it Carrie could not
think. Suddenly a bright idea came
to her. 'Father,' she said aloud, Met
me take a card and pencil. I wish
to make a memorandum of some
items I wish to purchase in the
village.'
Her father handed them to her
after stowing away his belt. Carrie
wrote tremblingly, in a fine hand :
'Father, do not be frightened ; we
are in a trap. Go into the opposite
corner of the room where your face
will be in the dark, and look at the
bust above tho door. In it you will
see two glittering eyes that have
watched you count your money.'
'Head it,' she said aloud, handing
the card to her father. 'I want to see
if you think I am too extravagant.'
Her father betrayed no emotion
while he read, but said :
'You are pretty extravagant, Car
rie; I suppose you think your father
is made of money.' And he rose
and went to the wash stand which
was in a dark corner.
Once there he glanced back to
ward the bust, and that glance con
firmed his daughter's extraordinary
statement. When he camo back to
his seat Carrie saw that the eyes
were gone. Then leaning toward
hor father she said in a low tone:
'You see it is as I said. I have
thought of a plan however, by which
we can both escape. You would be
perfectly helpless in an affray of any
kind on account of your lame leg, so
I must try to save us both.'
Then followed a whispering con
sultation during which Carrie kept
1880.
her eyes tixed on tho bust ; but the
glittering orbs had not come back.
As she concluded Carrie went to the
window, threw it up and looked out.
lleckoning to her father who came,
she said, or rather whispered :
'You see this shed, father? Well
they will probably come up on it,
and get in through the window. I
do not think the will make the
attack before twelve, so I will get
out of this window and jump from
the shed, go to the barn and get our
horo and go to S for help.'
Flinging a wrap over a slight
figure she embraced her father ten
derly, and bidding him not to worry
over her, she jumped lightly out on
the shed and disappeared.
Mr. Spencer watched her for a
little while, then closing the window
took out his watch and saw that it
was nine o'clock and proceeded to
work. lie first covered tip the tire,
blew out the light and rolled up a
blanket with which he made a dum
my. This ho placed in the bed
which his daughter was to occupy.
Then he sat down and waited oh,
how anxiously.
Ten, fifteen, twenty minutes went
by and no sound came from the
vicinity ol the barn. Taking oil' his
boots he crept noiselessly to the
window and peered out but could
see nothing in the darkness. Then
creeping to the wah stand he laid
UU money belt in the drawer and
closed it. lie then threw himself on
the bed and wailed.
After an hour had gone by Mr.
Spencer threw oil" his coat and vest,
tumbled up the bed, hobbled to the
door, unlocked it and stepped out
into the hall. This was all in ac
cordance willi Carrie's plan.
'Landlord ! landlord !' he .shouted.
lie then went back into the room
and noiselessly threw up the window
all the time shouting for the laud
lord. That worthy came flying up the
stairs and late as it was still dressed.
'Oh, landlord,' gasped Mr. Spen
cer, rushing toward him, 'I have been
robbed. My money is all gone!'
'Gone!' echoed the landlord in
dismay.
'Who could have stolen it?' groan
ed Mr. Silencer. 'I had $5,000 in a
belt and it is gone, stolen.'
The landlord lit a candle and look
ed around the room, chagrin depict
ed on every feature.
'Why don't you wake up your
daughter, sir?' he questioned.
Mr. Spencer hurried to the bed.
'Carrie! Carrie I'he cried, but no
answer came, and the landlord
drawing near with the light saw
dummy, and cried :
'Why, man, the girl isn't there!'
'What!' gasped Mr. Spencer, 'O, I
see it all now. The wicked girl has
robbed me while I slept and run oil'
to meet her lover, from whom I was
taking her.
Ho ran to the window, followed
by the landlord.
'Yes, yes, here are footprints in
the snow on the shed!' cried the
landlord, whiloMr. Spencer groaned
aloud. 'How long do you think she
has been gone, sir?' asked the
landlord.
'For an hour or more, the deceitful
jade,' replied Mr. Spencer.
'Then there's no use to look for
her,' said the landlord.
'Oh, but I must,' cried Mr. Spen
cer, as he began to descend the
stairs, followed by the landlord, who
believed every word he had said.
They proceeded to the barn, fol
lowed by the landlord's confeder
ates. They found the horse gone
and her mode of flight was easily
explained.
'You may as well give her up sir,'
said the landlord consolingly.
'I suppose I may,' groaned Mr.
Spencer, and they returned to the
house.
As they left the barn he heard the
landlord whisper to one of his con
federates, 'The job's up, .Iin ; we'd
better let the old man alone.'
Once more entering the room Mr.
Spencer threw himself upon the bed
and awaited the return of his brave
daughter.
'God bless her and bring her sate
back, he murmured.
Meanwhile all grew still and the
hours rolled by. The fire had been
raked up and crackled on merrily.
The eyes were not looking from the
bust ; they had evidently disappeared
for the night.
At last, after what oremed an age
to the anxious father, he heard a
loud knock on the front entrance,
and five minutes alterwards he heard
the landlord stumble to the door.
Then followed a confused jumble of
curses and struggles, then a rush of
many feet up the long hall and
6tairway.
The next minute the door was
thrown open, and his daughter
rtibhcd in, followed by the officers,
who dragged in the landlord and his
confederates.
'Ob, father,' she cried, 'you are
WHOLE NO. 530.
safe!' and throwing her arms round
his neck the brave girl burst into
tears.
The sherifl" and his pose of men
held the landlord and his confeder
ates in a vice-like grasp whi'o Carre
related the adventures of her ride.
'After I left the barn I led Tommy
to a fence, all unsaddled, sprung on
him, wound my arms around hi
neck, and oil we went like the wind.
Up and down over the frozen road
we flew. My arm felt like ice; I
thought I should certainly freeze,
and after what seemed to me an age
of cold, pain and misery, we dashed
into the main street of S . As-
we came up in front of the tavern
the stage drove up and the inmate
sprang out and rushed to my assist
ance. I must have been almost
insensible, for I had to be carried in
by the landlord. I was given-warm
drinks until I had fully recovered,
and was able to relate my story. 1
told them my suspicions and fears,
and this gentleman' here Carrie
paused, and turning to a tine looking
gentleman near her 'Mr. James, b
his ready belief in what I told, and
his energy and spirit in arousing the
sherifl' and his men, Iris been the
main cau.-v in bringing assistance.
Mr. Spencer grasped the young
man's hand and thanked him.
'Your plan succeeded admirably.
Carrie,' he said, and advancing to
the wash stand he took out the
money belt, saying, 'My numcj i.
all riiiht, as you see.'
The landlord quivered with rage
as he saw how completely he had
been defeated:
As the men began to search the
house the landlord protested his
innocence, declaring that they had
no right to hold him or his men
prisoners or search the house.
Ilreaklug open the door above
which was (he bust, the men rushed
in. The room was empty save lor a
long ladder which reached a shell"
above the door. A hole above the
shelf di-clo-ed the bust to be broken
in half, i-o that a man could easily
climlr up the ladder, get ou the shelf,
thrust his head in the bust, which
was large enough for an ordinary
man's head, and see all that was
going ou in the adjoining room.

and his men, who had them all pull

containing the body of a gentleman
whom Mr. James and the sherifl
rcmcinbered to have stopped at
S three days before.
The evidence was conclusive, and
the landlord and his confederates
were guarded through the night and
the next day were lodged in jail, and
in due time wen; tried and convicted

SpcsiU u 4'Ii4'-rfil Word.
Did you ever go out in the morn
ing with a heart so depressed and
saddened that a pall seemed spread
all over the world? Uut on meet
ing Homo friend who spoke cheer
fully for a minute or two, it only
upon indifferent matter, you have
felt yourself wonderfully light
ened. Kvery child dropping into
your house on an errand has brought
in a ray of sunshine which did not
depart when he went his way again.
It is a blessed thing to .-peak a cheer
ful word when you can. "'I'he heart
knowelh its own bitterness" the
world over, and good words to such
hearts "arc like apples of gold in
pictures of silver." Kvcu straugers
wo meet casually by tho way, in the
travelers' waiting-room, are uncon
sciously influenced by the tone we
use. It is the one with pleasant
words on his lips to whom strangers
in strange lands apply for advice
and direction in their perplexities,
'fake it as a compliment if swine
wayfarer comes to you to direct him
which street or what train to take;
your manner has struck him us be
longing to one whom he can trust.
It is hard .sometimes to -peak a
pleasant word when the .shadows
rest ou our hearts; but nothing will
tend more to lighten our spirits than
doing good to another. When you
have no opportunity to speak a
cheering word, you can often send a
full beam of sunshine into the heart
of some sorrowing, absent friend by
sitting down and writing a good,
warm-hearted letter.

and repeat the dose every hour. His
theory is that kerosene penetrates
