AdwrUmrs will please maJSeanote of this XT PERIL AMD ESCAPE. I was a Jvery bold sad fearless gil l,'and my brothers and waters of ten dared me to go teto lonely placet in the dark, ordoperilous feats of ■various kinds, which challenges 1 n erer refused. Often they act out to play tricks on me, but it usually happened they fell into their own traps, while I performed my part in safety. We lived in a huge old house, built of English oak, and bearing its nearly two centuries very light ly. It opened to the south, and the two large parlors opened to the east and west. The dining-ball and spa cious kitchen f*med the square of the bouse, while at the west And back was another large room* some times called the great porch, And at the east and back was the dairy and Another porch. There were three stairways leading to the upper rooms And a garret, whose ample space was broken only by the great chimney in the centre. We had a gay and lively hcuse, and were used to a great deal of company and visitors, for my par ents were greatly given to the old fashioned virtue of hospitality. The humblest wayfarer coming infc*ke porch was entertained kindly and given God-apeed, as well as the guest whose elegant carriage and span drove around to the front-door on the southern side. It was a summer day, and warm, bright and beautiful. The morning promised a lovely day. Just after our early breakfast a merrv part came riding down the lane In -car riages and on horseback, and yelling joyously for my father and mother to accompany them on a pleasure trip. They were accustomed to this mode of Impromptu festivity, and gaily answered that they wotAd soon he ready. It was only the day be fore that my father had returned from the Austra Han gold fields, and had brought with him a bag of gold. I knew he had £his,for I had seen him the night befo re counting some ont of it and putting it into another bag. Thomas brought the chaise to the door. Father's favorite black horse, whose coat looked like lus trous velvet, and who stepped so proudly, was pawing the ground im patiently as he appeared. He hand ed in my beautiful mother, and I stood looking on wit h childish pleas ure at her beautiful and rich dress, that so becatre ber. 1 hasten 3d indoors again to see them wind down the private way that led through our extensive grounds and half wished I were old enough to go with them. Hearing aeiigkt noise, J turned and taw a stranger, a figure not unusual, a man with a bundle hung on a stick. He was leaning on the stone wall, *nd apparently looking after the carriages. He came forward m a moment, and asked if lie might sit •down and rest, and if I would kind ly give him something to eat. Of course I said yes, and, with quick steps, soon had him % substantial lunch of bread and cheese, which lie came into the kitchen to eat. Betsy and Hannah were busy hurrying to finish their work, fur they were go ing out to tea and to spend the •evening. They talked gayly about Jtbeir visit, paying little attention to the stroller, who was quietly eat •ing. He had laid his straw hat on tho floor, and I saw that his head •was bald on top, and the thinnisb ihair brushed up from behind over it. He had prominent ears, low fore head and large mouth, with a reced ing chin, where grew aatubby beard of grizzly black Uke las hair. I don't know why I observed all this, or his eyes, small and tad under gray ish brows -that seemed to glance fur tively about him wlten no one ap peased to be took ing. . His voice was harsh mC creaking, and had startled me when be'first addressed me. We were used to strollers of all : kinds, as I have said. Perhaps I was mentally contrasting bis. repul siveness with my father's noble and dignified He seemed to aft? very ugly. I was glad when lie had his meal and risen to go. HB .aeked s pepission to light hi* pipe, which was readily granted. He went out directly passing acci dentally through the dining room and out of the great hall, where lie | lingered for a jpofpegt or two. He; imathanked me ojviljy enough fori Id* breakfast, but the girls laughed and nodded fas he went out, and said they should think I had picked up a raven. All the long, bright day I was busy and happy in the flower garden, or sewing, or reading; and when the girls left, looking very cheerful at their half-holiday, i wished them a merry time, and told them net to hasten home, for Thomas should come for them. I expected my father and mother soon after eight o'cflock, and told Thomas he might go about that time, as they would soon be home, and It looked a little like rain. Heavy clouds were gathering in the west, and the thunder ramified sul lenly. He took the covered wagon and old gray, and, before he stepp ed in, said: "Miss Ann, I think you had bet ter fasten the doors, aa you may be all alone for a short time if I should go soon. Would you rather that I should wait until your father corneal"' 4k O no, Thomas, I don't mind be ing akooe the least, and you ought to go, lest it should rain hard, for it is more than two miles to ride, and they may not wish to leave in a minute." I expect father and moth er every moment, Don't wait." So Tliomas left, and the wagon rattled merrily up Che late. I bolt ed the doors, became be bad told me to, for otherwise I woukl not have thought of it. It grew dark rapidly, and the thunder began to peal heavi ly, while the wind rose, and the dashes of lightning grew more vivid and frequent. I went out to the east parHr, and looked to the south, but tba sudden lighting up of the sky and the falling darkness did not interest me long. I coifld net see out very well, either, aa the honey suckles covered the windows. The large mirror reflected mess 1 turned away to cross the room, and I stop ped a moment with natural vanity, for I was young and fair enough to look upon. I let all my hair fall loose, and wound it in long, shining curls over my fingers. It certainly did look handsome, for it was very thick and fell below my waist, and curled al most of itself as it felL There came a great flash of lightning, and I saw distinctly reflected in the glass a face looking in at the window. It was an instant of terror, but I neith er screamed nor moved. He could not see my face, and I kept my body still, and rolled the long, shining rings off my cold, white fingers. It was an ugly face, and I recognized it. I had seen it that morning, and I knew what lay before me. I pray ed inwardly a brief prayer for help. Turning from the glass I went steadily toward the table that stood near the window, on which I had left my candle. I moved steadily as usual, and took op the water-pitch er and looked in, and then took my candle and went toward the kitchen. The lightning kept flashing, but the face did not come again. I set the pitcher on the dresser, and with soft, light footfall hastened through the west rcom, up the front stairs, into my father's chamber, and softly closed and bolted the door at the top of the stairs. I unlocked his box took ont the bags of gold, relocked it and made my way into the great chamber. I lieard voices; I heard the doors tried below. I knew it was not my father. I dared not tremble nor grow feint I went through that room and two others to the garret stairs. I hardly breathed. I beard a window pushed up; more than one person eame in at it. 1 felt about in the dark. There was a sliding panel in the inside of tbe stairway. I pushed it, and it rolled hack. I entered into a long closet nndertbe stairs, and slid tbe panel carefully into its place. I felt cautiously to see if all was safe. I pulled my dress close about me lest it might be caught, and the door not closed tight ly. Then I waited. I heard steps coming up the stairs. I beard a search through all the rooms below. My heart beat till I thought that every bound mnst be audible; heard voces—one voice, the Raven's. I knew that harsh croak. It told me nothing. The face had revealed all to me. The man must have learn ed in some unaccountably way of the bag of gold, and learned, too, when here in the morning, that I was to be alone. It was all plain to me now. He had returned, and had brought accomplices. My peril was terrible imminent. Very soon the steps and voices eame my way. I could distinguish plainly the words that were spoken: "Drat ber! she mnst have seen you." "No matter; we'll split the box open with this axe." I knew the axe was in the little porch. Thomas had set it in when he had done chopping the brush, as it looked like ram, I heard the steps and voices move away, a null, crashing souad, and then stifled, angry tones. I knew that they had opened the box, and found nothing but the papers. I knew they would now search for me. I heard them as tliey looked into every room and eloset, and came up the stairs separately. They all met at the foot of the garret stairs, A thick beard was between us. I thanked God that the panel was .close shut. I knew it; for mo xay of light came through. "She must be ap<bers," said the . Raven, "and wrbsoon have ber." "I'll warrant site ishere, and I 'JI ■ wring her week if ahe make a noise dbotrt if." But the thorough search was end ed, and the voices grew very angry and full of frightful oaths and threatening*. They sat down on the garret stairs to hold a parley. A spider ran across my face. It was with great effort that I kept from screaming. "Come," croaked the Raven, "let us go and get the silver; that will be something—that will be something." 'Curse tbe silver. It's llie gold Tve come for, and I'll burn tbe house if I don't find the girl! So let her look outl" A cold perspiration. Would they perform their threat ? "Good ! then the rats will squeak, —Down drop the money bags, and we'll choke the girl to maike her dumb." "Hold your noise. The did man will be coming home. We'll be caught here. Be quick." "Who cares for him f He's only one; a bludgeon will give him a handy little headache aa be comes in." "And his wife ?" They spoke low, hideous words that made my flesh creep. I was al most rerdv to call aloud, to open the panel, to give them tbe gold, and bid them go. The? got up, and the steps and voices went down. It was horrible there in the dark. I was stifling. I moved the panel slightly. No light entered. • I slid it softly back. My resolution was taken. I would get out of the house, run down the road and meet my father- I would save him, 1 left the gold in the closet, shutting it in close. I stole down two steps into the chamber below. I knew there was a window open there. I crept across the room, listening keenly. I lifted myself cautiously on tbe win dow ledge, and caught a branch of the cherry-tree which grow close to the house. Swinging myself light ly out, I hastily descended the trunk of the tree, and found myself on the ground, safe. No. The lightning flash betray ed me. The Raven 'a voice shrieked hoarsely: "There she goes 1 Catch her! Quick! This way 1" Oat of the front door came the pursuers, hardly ten steps from me. 1 dashed toward the thick sbrnbbery, to throw tliem off tbe track. For tunately, 1 knew the way, every step ef it. They were galled slowly by the sound and flaahtsg light. "Shoot her by the next flash !" cried or.e. My flying feet struck loose boards. I was passing over an old, unused well, very deep, and it gave back a hollow, resonant sound. Almost the next moment I heard a crash, the report of a pistol, a heavy fell, oaths and a deep groan. Shudder ing, I sped on through the garden, up toward tlie elder-press, over the stone wall, down tlie hollow, up the hillside, over the fields.' No steps followed; no voices shouted after me. I ran down to the second bars and let them down. It began to rain a few drops, then fast, tlien it poured. I was wet to tbe skin. 1 ran on, for I advancing wheels coming rapidly; I stood in the rrwui and cried:—"Father! father!" The chaise stopped. Another chaise stopped also. It was our next neigh bor's who lived a quarter of a mile further on. "Ann, my child! Good heavens! What ia the matter ? What has happened ?" I told the whole in a few words, amid eager exclamations of joy at my safety, of surprise, even of an ger, because Thomas had left me alone. 4 Don't blame him, father. I in sisted on his going." A hurried consultation took place. Mv father was very brave. Our neighbor was very timid. He pro posed going on to his house and re turning with weapons. In the meantime I had got into the chaise and croacbed down at my mother's feet, who was half crying, and whol ly thankful to feel me there. We rode on and came to our gates nnder the willows. There were lights in the house, but all was still. Nothing moved. My father put the reins in my mother's hands, and opened the other gate that led up the lane. "Will you go home with Na than ?" said he. 44 And leave you here ? No." 4 'Take your wife home, Nathan, if you will, and come liack." "Let us reconnoiter, tlien, a little." They got out, leaving us sitting still. The rain fell less heavily. They got something that would do for weapons from the tool-house. They went all around the bouse—all was qoiet. They went in. We sat still, sneaking few words, my hand clasped in my mother's, and my frame trembling with fright. "Thomas is coming 1" I exclaim ed. eagerly. "I bear the wheels." We called to him as lie came to tbe gate, for he could not see us. He drove through and called ont: 44 What's the matter ?" We told liim sufficiently, and he left Betsey and Hannah, and went in at once with only the heavy whip. We did not wait long. Na than came out directly. 4 What have you found ? Who is there ?" "Nothing. Nobody." "Are thev all gone ?" 44 Yes, with some of the silver and a few other things. We don't know what vet." The horses were put under the shed, and we all went in. Father said calmly. 44 We will take a lantern, Thomas, and look around out of doors a lit tle." I knew they would go to the old well I stood and looked out of the window and saw the gleam of the lantern as it moved. In a very few minutes they came back. "One ot them is dead." said my father, 4 'and the other Ilea at the bottom and groanes. The third has escaped." Tliey laid some boards across some barrels in the shed, and brought the dead man and laid him on them. His comrade, who fell in the well, had shot Mas lu the head as he plunged through the boards. His ugiv face was uglier. It was the Raven. That night my father's prayers weie very solemn, and his embrace was close as be gave me ay igosdnight kiss. The robber in the well was brais ed, but est seriously hurt. Tbe Jaw took him to punishment. The third escaped. I was never left xl home agasu alone. -Jsn<fl\s% Hja zinc. / VEGETINE. REV. J. P.
