Through all Martha's terrora vivid
feeling of wonder Was at work in her
mind as to the meaiis by.hich those
two unknown men had obtained ad
mission Into the bank. She could
only conclude that they had crept in,
unseen by any : one, and afterwards
secreted themselves In 'one of the
empty rooms below stairs; although
how such a thing could hive been

Not much thmi was allowed her for

scene before herf
"Here's a butfch of keys"' heeded.
"Most likely these are what we want
first of all."
"Whose keys are these, and what
do they. open ?",asked the man who
was holding Martha.
"They are my father's keys," said
Martha, "and they open the different
rooms and places down stairs."
"1110 they open the cellar'and the
strong box in which the money Is
kept?" ' . '
"One of them is the key of the door
at the top of the stairs lending down
to the cellar. The key of the door at
the bottom of the stairs and' the key

"In - whose possession are these
keys?" ;
"One pass key' is in the Possession
of Mr. Jeremiah Wangtiltaw; the oth

"You will oblige us by, accompany.

. More dreary minutes paseed how
many she could not have told. She
was dreadfully cramped, and the cord
by which she was thstentd seemed bit

thoughts were being grandly stval
lowed up in a pain that, with every
minute was becoming more unbeara

from crying aloud. Shebit her lip in
agony; and moaned below her breath,
but tht re was none to hear her.
• Suddenly, when her torture was the
sharpest, there flashed into her brain
a . thought so startling, so unexpected,
that for a moment every pain was
deadened in the rush of uttersurprise
with which it overwhelmed her.—
There had been reVealed to hetet one

Honed. It was just su ffi cient to em
ble Martha to make out the familiar
features of the room. She began to
breathe more freely as soon Bushy was
left alone.
When Martha had fully made up
her mind', that it was impossible for
her to escape, she went to mleulating
how loig her Imprisonment WAS to

tha's return to her senses was quick

'of ,the peril that was still before her.

any Moment and discovers& In that
Luse would her life be worth a mo
ment's' purchase? Evidently the
first to do, if such a thing were possi
ble, 'was to make her elsa►pe from the
bank without alarming • the thieves
in the bullion cellar.
The next thing Was to raise an
alarm, and endeavor to effect their
capture before they had time to get
char away with their booty. lf on
ly these two 'great Objects could be
thromplished. The thought thrilled
her through and through. She stoop
ed and took citf her ahem without as
much noise as wogid - bave frightened
a mouse. Thenithe stood listening a
moment with all her senses on the
alert. There was a noise of voices,
broken, faint and hollow, with - now
and then a dull, solid thud, like the
muffled blow of some heavy instru
ment. •
They were still h 2 thil cellar, then,
and their task 'was as yet unaccom
plished. Step by step, and silent as a
shadow, she crept out of the office,
and so along the passage leading to
the cellar stairs, the light reflected on
the opposite wall of tae corridor, he-
truyeh where the nefarious work was
still going on. Toward this light
Marina, now crept with- 'stealthy
swiftness. When she - had reached
the end of It, she stood for a moment
and lisletied. Then keeping her body
well out of sight she. protruded her
head within the line of Hight- , and
looked.. Her gene went down the
_stone stairmse and into the cellar.
The iron - doer at • the foot of the
stairs - had been totted open, and the
I .i2.33"ertk
g 2 :sit Iron sate itself. \ arlous house
breaking instruments were scattered
about the floor. One of the men was.
busy with a crow-bar, swathed In
flannel, trying to force open one of
the doors of the safe. The other man
was busy drilling- holes .1u another
door with a strange looking imple
metal, thelike of-which Martha laud
never seen before. The woman was
I lighting thew. operations with a lamp
I held aloft in one of her hands.'. All
th....e were standing with their backs 1 !
to the s:aircase. •
Martha's eyes took in the pictureat
a glance. There was one thing; be
slues iyhich they took in, to wit; the
bunch of keys with which- she , had
opened thedoor at the top of the
stairs. The bunch of keys was now
lying on the landing.at the bottom of
the stadrs,•elcue to the Iron door.—
Could she but obtain possession of it
she 5... w not only a way of escape for
herself but a way 'by which the
thievcsinight be caught in their own
trap. But to obtain pas:session of the
keys without disturbing the thieves
was theone difficult thing to do. '
There was only one mode of obtain
ing them and that was to fetch them.
But to do this unseeu end unheard,
seemed at the first glance utterly im
possible. At the second glance it
seenaxl a little more feasible but still
a dangerous thing to do. Neverthe
lou sne made 'up heranind that It
must be attemplvd.
Fortunately the door at the foot of
the stairs had mil, been pushed quite
back to the wall, in eunsequence of
which its bulk intercepted part of the
light Itelilby the woman, so that that
portion of the landing which was be
hind the door lay in deep shadow,
and this shadow extended itself in a
harrow strip from the bottom of the
stairs to the top. It was down this
strip of darkne&i, herself a • moving
shadow, that Martha began to vilde
on her dangerous errand. Fortunate
ly her dress was a dark one, and' her
feet were unshod. Her sole chance
of safety lay in the fact of the, three
people below stairs being so intently
occupied that they would neither see
nor hear her; and Martha Judged that
they were set occupied bemuse for the
last few minutes' conversation had al
most entlrelY ceased. The grand cri
sis of their labors was evidently at
hand. With her Lock and hands
prcused to the wall so as to keep her
self in as small a place us possible, and
with the skirts of her dress kept close '
about her, Martha began to mei
slowly 'down stairs. her face :
very white, but filled with a fine •
olution. Front her present position
the inmates of the cellar were not vis
ible'to,her, but both her eyes and ears
were painfully on the alert, and they
told her so fax. everything was safe.
By an Inch af a time, as it seemed,
and, so slow that her advance wits- al
' meet Imperceptible; Martha kept de-
Rending steadily. In.all there were
fifteen stairs to go down; she had
counted theininany a time, and air
each one was now cleared and left be

throb, and the felt that by so much

The first part of her tag was over.

in search of amdstance. -
On reaching the first corner she
almost tumbled Into the arms of a po

story she told him, she could never

been to the purpose. No one could
have been more surprised than Mar

nono other than a certain sot dismal
Cliptain Bromley, and his wife and
servant, who some four months pre
viously had become the tetrardsof an
empty house that stood next door to
the bank.
The Clearfield Rank Robbery.
The Rqfftsmen'a Journal gives the
following particulars of the robbery
of the County National Bank at Clear
field, on the 18th accixiat
of which we have already published:
"Find they pulled the Lilley safe
about two-thirds of Its length outside
bf the other door, knocked off the
combination knob, and then at
tempted to drive In and cut to pieces
the conical shaped chilled Iron center
block in which the combination oper
ate:. Evidently having found this a
fruitless effort, they then plied .the
heavy sledge hammer with great
force and vigor to the various por
tions of the front edger of the safe and
door, but succeeded only in knocking
off some small scales. Finally, how
ever, it seems, they found a weak
spot—a flaw, more than an inch in
width and about five inches in length,
in the iron of the door, to the left of
the combination. The iron covering•
this defect in the door was only about
a quarter of an inch in thickness,and
the inside about half an inch. The
outside portion over the flaw having
been broken In with the sledge ham
mer, they next drove a • heavy steel
numb through the inner part and
Into the combination, breaking the
lock into pieces. From appearances,
the burglars evidently had a hard job
on hand, and one which must have
taken them perhaps more than an
hour to aecom e r as ' the iron
ro
thugh which t forced their way
is literally cov with `dents and
marks • and the great wonder is that
they did no .alarm the whole town
by the great number of blywsithey
struck to secure their end. The rob
bery must have been committed be
tween midnight and morning, and
the amount secured by the burglars
was $l5,OOAn money and $4,500 In
government bonds. , •
