the Flint Hock I'ank, that lit si led lietiealli !
the sleepy elms shading Ihe principal'
si reets of a ii:el Xew Knelatid village, was
etileied and loiibcd vif a large sum of !
inoiiey. I
The sit ual ion was peculiar. Alaigeaml '
leiii.ii kiilily inti lligfiit black mastitV with

tin; h.itik his homo, always sleeping there i

was I level knumi to hat k al one w il li w horn '
he was f.imiltar. Kveiything in the hank, I
the ;u. lining after Ihe i old wry, was fou:id ,
just as it had been lett Ihe afleiuoou pie- 1
ii.tis. The safe was lucked ; nothing had
Iii pii (list in he.', only t he money w as gone.
I'rc.-idi nl S'.tai.d and Cashier Mon-ton, '

political Hireling in an adjacent low n, ami,
on aci'iuinl of ll.e stoini, i einaiiieii there ,

V'iiiioiis effuls were vainly made to for- '
let out the thieves. Al! suits of rumors 1
wcie.illoat concerning suspicious ch.irac I
tcrs that had been seen in the vilhige a few j
ias before the robbery, and it. was said ;
that a caniage had been heard driving
thiough the streets that same night. Pop
ular opinion finally settled down to the be
lief that Ihe money was taken by a gang of
New York burglars; but the robbery and
the different means used to trace the per
petiat.its formed the chief topic of conver
sation among the villagers during the en
tire winter. Miss Ellicl Moicton, the
beauiifiil young dar.ghtoi of the cashier,
had been made ill by I be excitement, an-.l
by iiel tons fear hst her father should be
b! lined in some way for I be loss, and had
not l.-ft her roolu since the ciinie was dis
cover! d.
One evening it. the following' A pi il, Mr.
Wilheiell, owner of a store in the village,
called on Mi. Strand, the bank president,
at his iesidei.ee, am' showed him a bank
note which both the gentlemen agreed was
the same one th;:t Mr. Witheitll had de
posit! d i" the bank on the a ft ei noon pre
Ciding the lobbery. The note bad been
torn and mended in such a way that it was
ti it it tt not iceable. and was lemaiked upon
by liie two gentlemen at the time. i'ho
note was iu one of Ihe packages of money
I hat l.iid been taken. Mr. Wi'.hert-Il, on
being asked how
his hands, said :
il had again come into j
'Mis, Remington gave it to mc this if
teinooii, in paying a bill which her bus- j
bmd contracted soon after they eatue lo ,
tow ti hist aut umn, about a foi tnigbt before
the bank wasrobbid. They bought Cash-
'er .Moiei'm's Elm street house, moving
lido it, ynn kuovv, whin be took possession :
i,f his new lic;;se tUooiid he corner." j
After some fuitbcr Oo.iverstition upon
Ihe subject, the two j;entlm(;u went to- .
geth -i to call on Mis. Reniiug'.oii. They
foil at I bat her husband had just returned I
from a two weeks' business trip. On m:ik-
ing known their errand. Mis. R.-niiogton, t
u (iiiel. i.iriy.like lit lie wom.-ia, snid : '
When we piiichased this house Mr.
Moreton, the foi uter occupant, proposed i
Unit we should ttike thn furu'sliings of tho j
from halMhaihad been made I o order to j
suit the rathei curiously shaped room. An j
an'iitpie chair lit the curve ol thestab-way, ;
lbs mirror bai-iack just suits the .niche ,
made by the chimney line, and theo upo',
of course, win cut to tit the thiol. I
'Thinking that we should le unable to
suit ouim Ives better, we bought the a rti. j
ch s, not moving them at all :be past winter. 1
Thi spring, while my hnsli.unl was aU-i tit ;
on hi iit'eut. trip, I thought I would clean j
iiiujj4 and accoidingly iM-gau Ihe fronf. I
hall I found the but rack to be on Cms j
lot, easily rolled out of its niolte, and be-, j
gait i1L brush and dust pan to clean, w here
it sttxid, when, far back iu the ixuner. with ;
m fJv autumn leave coveted with dust, I (
foa"d that bank note. I
l bad in idea how it came Iheie, and
bought-. I would not. mention tb finding to i
any ..iki until my husband' retui l, when ,
1 would advise wiih him about it, ThU
tn ii'iiing Mr- WitbereH' bill wa snt in
We had proinistU to pay the bill the Uiat-,
EHEXSlUniG, PA., FRIDAY, JULY 27, 1S77.
of April, and, as we are comparatively
strangers here, I thought it best to pay it
at or.ee. I looked over the contents of my
pocket-book, and found that by using this
' ten dollar note I could make out the amount.
1 I gare Ihe money lo the messenger with
j some misgiving, but thought if I had done
j wrong my husband would, on bis return,
I which I had not expected so soon, make
j the matter right. I had just related the
I ciicumstaiice to him when yon came in.''
Although the story seemed n very plaus
ible one, and ReniiuirtoMs were evidently
respectable people, a wan ant was soon is
j sued for their at rest. preliminary heai
I ing before a magisfiate was had, and they
I weie bound over to Ihe. next term of the
county raiut. Mr. lienimgto'. s friends
teadily furnishing bonds, lie and his wife
were reprieved of their liberty.
A supplementary wairant. for searching"
their house was given to the otTiceis, and
they pri.coedcd to make a thorough scruti
ny in the bast mem and looms on the Just
Hour. When they reached the front hall,
on their way to t he chambeis, Mr. Moreton,
who had been tcqtiesti-d to assist in the
search, pulled out the hat lack, and passing
his hand doAti the ohi-fash iotirrt ceiling
behind it, touched a hidden spt ing. The
door of a sectet cupboard th.it was framed
into a bend of the chimney immediately
llew open.
There, on the lowest shelf of the small
and otherwise empty lecess, lay an em
broidered 1 1 a cling bag. w.hich Mi. More
luli tool; out and u 1 1st i a pp(il, To his and
the i.llieeis' astonishment, and to the dis
may of the Keiningloiis, the bag was tilled
with packages of banknotes, which, on ex
amination, proved to be Ihe identical ones
taken from the FliMl H-ick Hark.
The Itemingtous both ai'riiim-ti that they
had never known of the existence of the
cupboard, which Mr. Moreton said he bad
made himself, some years ago. as a stoiago
place for a quantity of valuable but unused
family silver. So far as he knew no one
had been a ware of the location of the cup
honid excepting himself, his wife, ti.iw
dead, his son Waller, who was in South
Ameiic.i, and his daughter Ethel, who had
not bteii oiit of her imnii .or months. He
had left it to her lo show Mrs. Kcmington

Mr. Moreton, were anxious to have the

"She fell il1," s.tid !r. Knowltoti, 'the

of her, and she would have no fear of him.
She knew of the sectet cupboard, and the
money was fuiud in brr bag. Resides, her
nervous attacks always occur whenever
the bank affair is mentioned to her ples

walked in, saying :
"Ma forgot to tell father to get some blue
when he -jrent to the s ine Saturday night,
and she wants to know if yon would lend
her your bottle for about ten mi nites."
Now j. happened that I wanted to use
the blue botthi myself just at that time, but
I poured some of its contents into a smnller
bottle for the child, and she went on her
way rejoicing.
Scaicely fifteen minhtes had elapsed
when Wi'lie Jones made his appearance at
the door, inquiring :
"Is Mr. Smith at home? I can't find
liini at the barn."
"No, he isn't at home. lie went to the
city this n. orning."
'Pap wants to know- if yon will lend us
your w hc Ibarrow a little while; tuns is
wore out."
I ieplie.1 in ihe affirmative, and he went
to the wood house where he knew it was
kept. Presently lie returned with a long
fa tie, sayiug :
"The axle's broke, so you can't haul
notl'.iti' ni n."
"I'm sony it's broke." I quietly trdied1,
'"but I be!ve no one has used ii since you

j w ith the information that it was not in the
tool chest. I was s.iriitised at this, but
presently I remembered that neighbor ,
Jones had borrowed it on S.ituiday Jo mend
a broken door lock. I sent Freddy after
the missing article, and it was nearly half
an hour before I crnili) continue my wring
ing vviih any satisfaction.
Hy el.-ven o'clock we had our clothes out
and were preparing for dinner, when Maty
Jones came in again in great h.lste, ex- :
claiming, Oh. Mrs. Smith, could u lend '
us alo;.f of bread for d inner ? Mother was '
oui of flour, and couldn't make but two
loaves of bread on Satuiriay ; but pap is'
going to the mill this afternoon, and mother
will send it. back to-morrow."

would be either sour or heavy, and would
be given to tho dog nuirss some tiamp

the request. Mr. Jones did go to the mill .
in the afternoon, and in theevenirg Willie !
came after a cup of yeast, because theirs .
was sour, and "just about gone anyhow." j
In the meantime John came back fioin i
the city and wanted to use the wheel bar- !
row. but he had to take it to the shop to be
mended instead. Then be concluded to
put in the time splitting wood, but the axe
was tt neighbor Jones', and by the time ;
( barley had gone for it and brought it
home supper was ready. While we were
eating supper John saiti : j
"Mary, I think I shall follow I he example
of a farmer I read of recently, and buy a

be cheaper than losing so much time hunt- j

"!o, John," I replied, emphatically, i
"and buy mc another blue hot lie and yeast i
