In the winter of 1842, a gentle man and his daughter, a young lady, while traveling through Canada, ar rived about nightfall at an old fash ioned tavern. The gentleman con eluded to stop there instead of going oa to the village ofS , which was tea miles distant, and which they bed thought to reach. The daughter—Carrie— expressed her willingness, as the tavern pre sented a comfortable appearance, aud they alighted, when it was plain ly to be seen that the gentleman was B*itt lame, so much so that be was obliged to u9e a cane. The landlord came out, and call ing a boy to take the horse and sleigh to the bam, he ushered Mr. Spencer aad bis daughter into a pleasant sit ting-room. where a bright ire was burning on the hearth, which proved very acceptable to our travt-lers, who bad been in the sleigh since monmig. "Your room will be ready by sup per time, sir," said the landlord as be left the room and went iuto the bar-room. Supper was shortly announced, aad after refreshing themselves, Mr. Spencer and Carrie returned to the eoxy sitting-room, where they talked aad chatted until half-past eight. They were shown to their room, which was on the second story, in a wing somewhat distant from the main portion. Tbe room was very long, with a high ceiling. On cue aide was a window aud on the other a door. Just above tbe door was a bust of King George 111. The room was very plainly fur aished, containing two beds, a wash stand and a few chairs. Carrie took in the whole room, at aglauoe, and it must be confessed, bad there not been a cheerful fire burning, she would have felt nervous about Sleeping there. As it was the warm glow lit up the room into comparative cheerfulness. While she and ber father sat by tbe fire, her eyes wandered to the bast above the door, when she no ticed that the eve-bails had evidently beeu knocked out, leaving two emp ty spaces. "Well, Carrie, said Mr. Spencer, presently, *1 think you had better abat tbe door, I am going to count my money.' " After Carrie had done so, be drew oat a money-belt, heavy with bills, aad proceeded to count them. While doing so, Carrie's eyes in ▼ohintanly wandered to the bust, wbsn, to her horror and astonish ment, In place of the empty spaces were two glittering eyes, greedily watching every movement of ber father. Tbe young girl could ecarely re press a scream ; bat, controlling herself, she looked towards the fire, wbl e her father went on counting a large roll of bills. "I mast have been mistaken," thought tbe fair girl. "What could make me have such a strange fancy, though ?" she continued, glancing again at the boat. Tbe eyes were still there—two bvrning. savage eyes, that brighten ed as Mr. Spencer went on counting. "Good heavens 1" thought Carrie, "what shall we do? We are evident ly la a den ef thieves, aud will get murdered for my poor father's mon ey. Ilpw communicate their danger to her father without those terrible eyes noticing it, Carrie could not ttilok. Suddenly a bright idea cams to ber. "Father," eke said, aloud, "let me take a card and pencil, I wish to i make a memorandum of some items I wish to purchase Id the village." IXer father banded them to her, •iter stowing away his belt. Carrie wrote, tremblingly, in fine hand— "Father, do not be frightened ; | we are In a trap. Go in the oppo site comer of the room, where your j faee will be In the dark, and look at tbe bust above the door. In It you will see two glittering eves that have waUhed vou count yonr money." "Read it," she said, aloud, hand ing the eard io her father. "I want you to see If I am too extravagant.*"; Iler father betrayed no emotion while he read, but" said— "You are pretty extravagant, Carrie. I suppose you think your father is made of money ;*• and he **oee and went to tbe washstand, ■ which vm In the daik corner. Once there he glanced toward the bust, and that glance confirmed his daughter's extraordinary statement* When he came back to his seat, Carrie saw that the eyeH were gone. Then, leaning toward her father, •he said in a lw tone— "You see it is as I said. I have thought cf a plan, however, by • wh'oh we can b th escape You ' would lie perfectly helpless in an af fray of any kind on account of your lanse leg, so ( must try to save us both." Then followed a whispered consul tation, during which Carrie kept her eyes fixed on the bust ; but the glittering orbs had not come hack. As she concluded, Carrie went to the window, threw it up, and looked out. Beckoning to her father, alio came, she said, or rather whispered. ) " Yon see this shed, father ? Well, they will probably come up ou it and get in through the window. I do not think they will make the attack before twelve, so I will get ont of this window jump from the shed, go to the barn and take our horse, and go to S for help." Flinging a wrap over her slight figure, she embrace*l ser father ten deily, and bidding him not to worry over her, she juraied lightlv out ou the shed and disappeared. Mr. Spencti watched her for a while, then closing the window, took out a watco, saw that it was nine o'clock, and proceed* d to work. lie first covered up Ihe lire, blew out the light, and rolled up a blan ket, with which he made a dummy. This he placed in the bed which his daughter was to *>ccupv. Then lie sal down and waited oh I how anxiously. Ten, fifteen, twenty minutes, went by, and no sound came from the vicinity of the haru. Taking iff his Inxits, he crept noise lessly to the window and peered out, but he could see nothing. Then, creeping to the washstand, he laid bis money-belt iu the drawer and clast-d it, lie then threw himself on the bed, and once more waited. After an hour hud apparently gone by. Mr. Spencer threw off his coat and west, tumbled up the lied, hobbled to the door, unlocked it, and Btep:ad out into the hall. This was all iu accordance with Carrie's plan. "Landlord ' landlord 1" he shout ed. He then went back into the room and uoiselessly threw up the win dow, all the time shouting for the landlord. That worthless came flying up the stairs, and. late as it was, he was still dressed. "Oh landlord " gasped Mr. Spen cer, rushing toward him, "I have been robbed ! tuy monry is gor.e !" "Krone I" echoed the laulord in dismay. "Who could have stolen It 1" groaned Mr. bpencer. "I had five thousand dollars in e, belt, and it is gone—stolen 1" The landlord lit the candle and looked arouuu, chagrin depicted ou every feature. " Why -don't you wake your daugh ter. sir ?" he questioned. Mr. Spencer hurried to her bed. "Carrie, Carrie 1" he called, but ro answer came ; and the landlord drawing sear with the light, saw the dummy, and cried " Why, man, the girl isn't there 1" "What I" gasped Mr. Spencer, "Oh, T see it all I The wicked girl has roblied me while I slept, and ran off to meet her lover, from whom I was taking her," 110 ran to the window, followed by the landlord. "Yes, yes, here are footprints in the snow on the shed I" cried the landlord, while Mr. Spencer groaned aloud. "How long do you think she has ( been gone, si- ?" asked the landlord, j "For an hour or more, the deceit- J ful jnde repiied Mr. Spencer. 4 Then ttiere's no use looking for her, sir." replied the landlord. "Oh, but I must !" cried Mr. Spencer, as he began to descend the stairway, followed by tbe landlord, who had believed every word Mr. S|encer said. They proceeded to the barn, fol lowed bv the landlord's confederates. They found the horse gone, and her nrnde of flight was easily ex plained. "You mar as well give her up, sir," said the landlord consolingly. "I suppose 1 may," groaned Mr. Speneer, aad they returned to the house. As they left the barn he heard the landlord whisper to one of his con federates— "The j b's up, Jem ; we'd be'tor let the old man alone." Onoe more entering tbe room, Mr. Spencer thrpw himself on the bed, and awaited the return of bis brave daughter. "God bless her, and bring her ; back in safety," he murmured. Meanwhile all grew still, and the hours rolled by. The fire had been raked up and crackled merrily. The eyes were not looking from the bust; they had evidently disappeared for the night. At last, after what seemed an age to tbe anxious watcher, be beard a loud knock on the fwat entrance. and five raitiubs afterward heard the landlord stumble to the door. Tnen followed a confused jumble of curses and struggles, then a rush of many feet up the long hall and stair way. The next minute the door was thrown open and his daughter rush ed in, followed by tho officers, who dragged in the landlord and his con federates. "Oh, father !" she cried, "ynu are safe, safe I" and throwing her anna around iiia neck the brave girl burst into happy tears. The sheriff and his posse of men h-ld the landloid and his confede rates in a vicelike grasp, while Car rie related tho udveutures of her perilous i id*. '•After I left the bam I led Tom my to a fence, ali unsaddled, sprang on him. wound my aims tightly round his neck, and whispered, "Go Tommy 1" ami away wo went like tho wind. Up ami down, over the frozen road we went. Mv anus felt like ice. I thought I should certain ly f.ez*\ ami after wlut seemed liko an age ,f cold and pain and misery, we dashed into the main street of S . As we came up in front of the tavern the stage dr*ve t.p, and the inmates sprang out and rushed to my assistance. I must have been almost insensible, for I had to lie carried in by the landlord. I was given warm drinks until I fully re covered a d was able t<> relate nv story. I told tbeiu my suspicions and my fears, and this gentleman— here Carrie pauted, arid turning to a hue looking man near her, said, "Mr. Jaiues, bv his ready behalf in what 1 told, and his energy and spir it in arousing the sheriff and his mwi, has been the main cruse in bringing assistance." Mi. Spencer grasped the young man's hand, and thanked him. * Vour plan succeeded admirably, Carrie," he said, and advancing to the WAihatainl, he took *m( the mon- ey-belt. saying, "My money is a!! right, as you see." The land ord quivered with rage as lie saw how completely he had been defeated. As the men began to sca'ch the rooms, the landloid protes ed his in nocence, declaring that they had no right to hold him or his men priso ner.*, or to si-arch his house. Breaking open the door, above which was the bust, the meu rush ed in. The room wi s empty, save for a long ladder, which reached a shelf above tlie door. A hole above the shelf disclosed the bust to be broken in half, so that a man could easily climb up the laider. g-t on the shelf, thrust his head in the bust, which was large enough for an ordiuary s zed man's head, and see all that was going on in the adjoining room. This certainly look.d suspicious, but absolute proof was yet wanting. On returning to the room occupied by Mr. Spencer, they searched every nook and corner. Suddenly, Carrie and Mr. James, who had been st Hiding by the fire place, gave a loud crv, for on close examination they had found spo'anf blood on the b.iuka which formed the hearth. They began to pull up the bricks, which proved loose, when Carrie, feeling faint, gave way to the sher iff and his men, who soon had them all pulled up, when a cavity was dis closed, consuming the murdend b-nly of a gentleman whom Mr Jaiues and the Sheriff remembered to have stopped at S three days before. The evidence was conclusive. The landlord and his confederates were well guarded through the night, and the next day they were lodged in jail, wnere in due tine thev were sentenced and suffered tho extreme penalty of the law. - ♦ 9 m ■ A Texas Htorj.
