F. FITCH a "X, No. U, th Avenue, Flttsbarfh, Pa. saaTa. l never tola anyoodj now verr, very near I was to death that night just a year aro; but as I can now look back and camlv recall each hought, each word, each act, I think I will write it down as a warninir to all who mav find themselves similarly" circa mstancea, nopmff, witn an mv heart, that the number may be few. In the first place, mv name is Freder- rick Putnam. I am and have been for the past ten vears, the foreman" and book-keeper of the large lumbering establishment of lUiara Winston & Co., and hope to be for another de cade, unless something better turns up. Mi. S mston is the resident part ner and manager of the manufacturing part of the business. The other members of the firm, to which there are two, live ia the city, at the foot of the lake, and attend to the sales of lumber, which we send them bj ves sels. This is by far the largest share of what the mill cuts, although the amount of our sales directly from the mill, to supply the country to the west of us is quite large. Well, one cold December evening just 3 I was preparing for home, I heard footseps on the creaking snow outside, and presently the office door Sew open, as though some one in haste had given it a posh, admitting a tall, stout well-dressed man, with a small traveling' batr in one band, and a shawl thrown over one arm. I was alone, Mr. Winston having gone to the house some half an hour i before, locking the safe in which we kept our books and papers, and tak ing the key with him aa usual I had already closed the damper of tbe stove, pot on my overcoat, and was just in the act of turning down tbe lamp but of course I waited. "Uood evening sir,7' said tne man busting up to the stove and kicking the damper open with his right foot. "Has Winston gone to the house?" I answered that he had. "When? I was afraid of it" tie drew out nis watcn a very une one I thought. "I shall not have time to go up, the train is due in Sfteen minutes." "Is there ant thing 1 can do?" I asked. I wanted to leave some money with Air. Winston. I intended to stop in town a day or two. but I have just got a dispatch that calls me home." "What name, sir?" "Anderson of Anderson ville." I knew him then, though I had seen him but once before, lie had been one of our best western customers. I say had been for the reason that during the past year his payments has not been so prompt. In fact he was eonsi Jerablv behind and Winston had that verv day told me to write to him, and "punch him up a little," as he expressed it. The etter ras then in the breast pocket of my overcoat" "ion can leave the money with me, sir, and 1 will give you a re ceipt" He seemed to hesitate, which net tled me somewhat I have never blamed anybody since, however. "How much is my bill?" he asked eyeing me soarply. I answered promptly, for I had strnck the .ballance' not more than half an hour before. Eleven thousand seven handred and fifty dollars and twentv-five cents." "Humpfc! less than I supposed. Write out a receipt for that amount" He kfi the stove and came and looked over my shoulder as I wrote. "It is all right Mr. Putnam. I know you now. You've been with Winston a long time. I can tell vour signature anywhere." He drew from an inside pocket a large black wallet very round and full, and counting eleven differed t piles of bank note?, he told me ta run over them. It was a short and easy ta.-k, fur each pile contained just Un one handred dollar bills. The balance was in fives, tens and twenties, and it took more time to count them; but at last we got it, so that both were satisfied. At this moment we heard tbe whis tle for tbe station. Anderson sprung for the traveling bag, and giving me a hasty band shake, went off on tbe run. I closed the door and counted the money again. Finding it all right I wrapped a piece of newspaper around it, and slipped it into my over coat pocket. I did not fee! quite easy to have so much money about me, but as Win ston's house was at least a half a mile distant I concluded to keep it until morning, when I could deposit it in the bank. ! I closed the damper again, drew on my gloves, took the pffice key from the nail just over the door, and step cd to put out the light As I did so I saw a bit of paper on the floor, which, on picking up I saw was the receipt I wrote for Mr. ' Anderson. He had droped it in hia hurry. I put it in my pocket and thought no more about it, only that I would mail it to him. 1 would have dane go then, but as the last mail for thai day 1 had gone oat on the train which took Mr. Anderson, I could do it just as well in the morning Then' too, I was in something of a curry that night, for I had an appointment; and I may as well say it was with a young lady. wbo, I hoped, would be my wife be fore many months. I hastened to my boarding place, ate my supper, and them went over to Mr. Warner's, wearing the over coat with the money in it, 3 1 did not feel easy about leaving it in my room. Carry was at home, of course, as she was expecting me, and, Ier ing my coat and hat ia the halL I went into the parlor. I do not think a repetition of our conversation would be interesting, go I will pass it merely remarking that nothing occurred to disturb me until I arose to take my leave. 'jarry went into tne entry for my coat and hat that I might put them on bv the warm tire, but she came with only my hati "Why, Freii, yoa certainly did no venture-out on such a ni?ht as thi without an overcoat?" .o coat. ' l exclaimed, in a dazed sort of a way, for the thought of the money, flashing upon me so suddenly, almost stuned me. . The next moment I tore past her like a madman as I was. Tne coat was gone. Then I tea unnerved. I grasped at tbe stair rail, and caught it just in time to support myself. Carrie came running out, her face pale with alarm. "Oh, Fred! are you sick? Let me call mother and the doctor! You are as white as a sheet!" Xo, no Carrie!" I entreated, "there, I am better new." And I was better, I was strong all at once desperately strong. And what brought about this change? That simple receipt that I had ic my pocket Anderson bad nothing to show that the money had been paid; and was not my unaided word as good as bis? I was foolish enough to believe that I could brave it through, and I grew confident and quite easy at once. There, Carrie, I am much better now. I be room was too warm, guess, bo some sneake-tnier jnas dodged in and stole my coat! '.Well et it go. It was aa old one, and now 'II have a better one." "But was there nothing in the pock ets?" asked Carry. It is strange bow suspicious guilt will make us. I really thought . that Carrie suspected me, and an : angry reply was on the end of my tongue. I suppressed it however, tud uttered a faJseo sod instead. "Nothing of consequence, Carrie, A good pair of gloves and some oth er tnning notions." "I am glad it was no worse, Fred. Now, if yoa will wait just a moment I will get you one ef father's coats to wear home." ... Thus equipped 1 ltft her. Yoa may guess that my alumberor that night were not very sound, ts very refreshing. . I never- passed more miserable night ; and .ia ?. tE morning my haggard looks were just the subject of remark. "Why Fred, von. look as though yoa had met a legion of ghosts last night!" said Winston. "What ia the matter?" "I had a bad night of it" I answer ed, with a sickly smile "And youTl nave another it you are not carefuL Yoa had : better keep quiet to-day. Bv-the-way, did vou write to Anderson . I do not know how I managed - to replr. for tbe question set . me ; to shivering from head to foot, : and was so weak that I could r ardly sit in my chair I must bave answered in tne af firmative, however, for be said: "Then we may look for something. from him to-morrow, or next day. Immediately after he added: i "Whv, Fred youfihiveraa . though you had the ague, and yoa are sweat- . ... i a inglike a Dutccen xou er bick mam Come! jump into my cutter and IH take yoa home." I wa3 glad of the chance to get away, and reaching my room, I lock. ed myseu in. Winston sent a doctor around, but I refused to see him. Then Winston. came himself, but I would not : open the door. Then my landlady came, then some of my fellow boarders; bat I turned them all away. Ah! those were terrible hours that I passed, and tbe night coming on brought me no relief. Can yoa not ruess what I was meditating! Cow ard that I was, I bad at last resolved upon self destruction.' I commenced my preparations with the same calmness and deliber ation that I would hare used ia the most common transaction " I . wrote a short explanation for Carrie; anoth er for Mr. Winston; a third j for my poor mother; and sealed them all In ft feur(h envelope I inclosed the re ceipt to Mr. Anderson. All this accomplished,' I went to my secretary and took out the weap on of death. It was simply a revol ver, small and significant in appear ance, but all sufficient . Having examined the cartridges, to make sure that there would be ao failure, I sat down before the fire to gather courage." " It may be interesting to know that no courage came to me, for the despe ration the growing fear of ; life I can by no wise call by that " name. ' It was simply cowardice. . Yet whatj ever you may term it it wag all sufi- cient for the time. It' nerved my arm, and, lifting the revolver, I plac ed its cold, death-dealing mutzle against my forehead. In another second I should have bee lifeless; but, just as my finger began to press the trigger, there came a tap on my door. It startled me, and hastily coo ceiling my weapon, I called out that I could admit no one. "Not me, Fred?" I knew Carrie7 Toice, and a yeartc log to look on ber loved face got tbe mastery of me. - Qaietlv slipping tbe tell-tale letters, whichjf had . left oa the table, into my pocket, I ' opened the door. ' "Oh, Fred, yoa are real sick!" ex claimed Carry, the moment the1 Ught fell on my face. "Why dldyoa'not send for me! Arent you better?" ' "Worse," I answered, huskily; "bat Carrie Good heavens!"

We engaged an open carriage at twenty francs for the day, provided ourselves with lunch, and set out at nine o'clock. J ust above Uoulai: the Nile is bow spanned by a splendid iron bridge, beyond which a broad highway has been built leading to the very base of the great pyramid. This is certainly better than the for mer approach by ferryboat and don key path, for it reduces the practical distance from three to four hours to one and a half. Tbe war waa crowdfd with esun els and country . people, the former bearing huge but not very heavy bur deasof freshly cut clover.

It was so diScu't for the horses to climb the last slope that we dismounted and walked to the northern base of the great pyra mid, on the top of which a little flag was flatteriffg, and two or three dark form3 were perceptible. The modern house, built by the Khedive for the reception of his royal and imperial guest3, offers to a!l visitors the advan tage of shade and cold steps to sit on.

I had no desire to make the ascent a second time, although it was we!! worth doing once. A crawl into the hot and stifling interior can only be recommended by the archaeologist The grand, simple masses built by Cheops and Cephrenes satisfy both the eye and imagination when viewed from below,a few handred yards from base. The best point, I think, is a sandy mound beydnd the sphinx, whence you get the exact view given ia one of Carl Warner'3 wonderful aquerelles.

I have seen nothing in Egypt which is so old as this tern pie. It is built mainly of rose colored granite, .tne pillars simply square monoliths, roois and doorways ot tne same, and no signs or inscrip tions or decorative sculptures. It is certainly older, fand who shall sav how much older ?) than the pyramids. In some sepulchral chambers lying back of the pillard court the roof is made of huge blocks of alabaster. The whole edifice, in its bare and massive simplicity, suggests Stone henjre rather than the later architec ture of Egypt A small fee. opened for us one of tbe lower rooms of tbe Khedive's house. and we lunched in coolness and quiet By this time several other parties had arrived from Cairo. Parties were Innchin? on the cold steps, bargain ing for some modern scaraboei, strol ling towards the sphinx with a crowd of Arabs at their heels, or climbing the steps of the great pyramid with many aa awkward straddle, shoved from below and pulled up from above. There were tweed coats, eyeglasses, canes, chignons, fans, parasols but let not the romantic reader suppose that the sublime repose of the old Egyptian world was in the least preju diced bv these objects. Thev were bat as driftwood or seaweed, surging around the base of mightier natural pyramids, along the shores of Norway or Maine. One is carried so far back set in the presence of such imperious haman will and unhinder ed power tbat the real and tar more permanent greatness of our age fades away, and its careless representatives become, for the time, mere sfing!es3 insects, that hum and buzz for a few minutes, to be carried away by the next breeze. No! yoa might pack billard rooms; lager beer saloons, cafes chantants, stockbrokers oSces and free trade leagues around the pyramids, hold political meetings with a speaker standing on the sphinx's bead, or make tne ad v turn cf tne old temple below resound - with revival hymns, and yoa could not diminish the impression which these wonderful monuments exact and compel you to feel.

The child recovered, and as he lay on his back across her knees and sur veyed the ceiling, she went on : "Such a head! Why, every one who sees him says he is going to be a Beecher, a Greeley or a Bismarck: do you notice that high forehead?" I did. I thought he was all fore head, as his hair didn't commenc to grow until tho back of his head "jras reached, but she assured me that I was mistaken. "Wouldn't I just heft him once?" I hefted him.

Yes I would. She rolled him over on his face and unwound his feet and triumphantly held them up to my gaze.

"Who did it look like?". I bent over the scarleif aced rascal ! pushed his nose to one side, chucked him under the chin, and didn't answer without due deliberation. I told her there was a faint resemblance to George Washington around the mouth, but the eves reminded me of Daniel Webster, while the general features has made me think of the poet Milton ever since she entered the house. That was just her view exactly, only she hadn't said any thing about it befoi "Did I think he was too smart to live ?" I felt of hia ears, rubbed his head, put my finger down the back of his neck, and I told her that in ray humble opinion, he wasn't, though he had a narrow escape.

No; the child would live; there wasn't tbe least doubt about it and any man or woman wbo said he woulda grow up to make the world thunder with his fame , would steal the wool off a lost lamb in January.
