How Watch Cases are Made. The many great improvements intro duced in the manufacture of the Jas. Boss Gold Watch Cane, have led to similar im provements in the making of silver cases. Under the old methods, each part of a ailver case was made of several pieces of metal soldered together, requiring a great amount of cutting and soldering, which softened the metal an J gave it the pliability of lead rather than tbe elasticity of silver. Under the improved methods, each part of the Keystone Silver Watch Case is made cf one solid piece of metal hammered into shape. The advantages are readily appar ent, for every one know that hammering hardens the metal while soldering softens it. To test tLe superiority of the Keystone Silver Watch Case, take one of 3 oz. weight, press it squarely in the center when closed, and it will not give, while a case of same weight of any other make will give enough to break the crystal. The Keystone Silver Watch Case is made only with silver cap and gold joints. Ha4 wat Im t.j.tmmt WaSat Dm. -Mlaria, niki dVlpkift, r, to IniM.

And angels voices fiay to thee. These things stiatl never die All th Year Sovni, ALA.VS ffHKEE PENNIES. Regularly every (horning, when the weath er iiermitted, little Alan, accompanied oy his ntirw, took liie walk In the park, holding clasped in his ctvubby band three pennies, which his kind mamma never failed to give hint, and which fee always spent in tbe same manner. On penny we for a cake, one for a glass of lemobade, aotd by au old man just with in tle park gate, the other for a poor, lame beggar, who dai4y stood in the street asking alms. Oue anorning, however, his mamma, not having any pence, gave him a shilling to change for her. 'Oh. mamma!' Alan cried, his little face lighting up with joy, Vive me this shilling; it will last four days. I will put it in oiy little red purse. Do please ?' 'Very well, dear, out don't lose it. Alan, thanking bis mother, took hie nure" hand and went out. Instead of playing as usual, Alan sat qui etly on a seat, holding tightly in his band the little purse. 'Now, Master Alan, it Is time for you to buy your cake,' Louisa said at length. 'But I don't want one this morning, thank yon,' Alan answered. 'Xot want your cake ?' Louise echoed in astonishment. 'Are you ill ?' 'No. but I am not hungry.' Presently a email tinkling bell fell on bis ears, and the lemonade man approached, hovering near Alan, as be was one of his most regular customers. Alan turned his head away, seemingly ab sorbed In watching an Italian boy, standing near with a board filled with plaster Images. 'Master Alan,' Louise whispered, 'aren't you thirsty? Don't you want your lemo nade ?' 'No. because I have not eaten, I do not want to drink,' decidedly. He breathed more freely when the man passed on, afraid, in spite of himself, he might be tempted to change his piece. On quitting the park he passed the beggar by, unnoticed for the first time since he could remember. Arriving at bis home, he hastened to tbe kitchen, and asked for some bread, which he ate with great appetite, feeling very hungry. Tbe next day his shilling still rested whole in his little red pur3e ; he went as usual with Louise to the park and played joyfully about, being less fearfuljof losing his money. Presently, tired out, he sat down on tbe seat beside his nurse, and calmly drew from his pocket a piece of bread he bad provided himself with before starting. What !' Louise cried In astonishment. 'You have brought bread from the house?' 'Yes ; I do not like cakes now. I am tired of tbem. 'Nor lemonade? No, I am not thirsty.' 'What a strange boy yon are I Ab, I see what it Is ; you wish to economize. Is it to buy a castle ? Alan colored, but did not answer. When they were leaviog the park be mad a tbonsand excuses to go out by another gate, so as not to pass tbe lame man. Louise, nothing loth, complied with bis wish, but in doing so tbey passed by a foun tain where several children were drinking. 'Louise, cannot I drink there? I am so thirsty, Alan asked eaeerly. The maid stared at him aghast. Whatever next ! You will not buy lemon ade, and you would driok at a fountain ? I will not allow it; you will await nntil you arrive home.' These little stratagems to keep his shilling whole, lasted four days, and on tbe fifth his mamma gave him bis nsual three pennies. 'Here, Alan,' she said smilingly, yonr shilling was only to last four days, so it is time you had some more money.' Tbe child took tbe offered pence in silence; he would not tell his mother the silver piece lay In his purse. lie went for his morning walk, and ate tt-e dry bread he always brought in his pocket now ; bnt as they returned Louise dragged him reluctantly towards the gate where tbe old beggar stood. Yon never give anything to your poor lame beggar now. See bow pitifally he holds out his hand.' 'I have only my shilling, which I do not wish to change.' 'But the money your mamma gave you tbis morning? I wish to keep It Oh. the naughty little miser ! Yon don't know how ngly It Is to be so avaricious !' ' But I am not a miser. Yes, you are. Since yon have had that shilling von have given nothing to the lame beggar ; you pass him by unnoticed. You will become hardhearted, and when yon die you will not go to heaven no miser ever daes.' Alan bung his head in shame. As tbey passed through a narrow street a little girl, poorly dressed, came out ot a dai ry, carry Ing a small jag of milk. Whether from giddiness or accident, the child slipped, and fell almost at Allan's feet; the jud broke in a thousand fragments, the milk running In a white stream over tne pavement. Louise raised her; was crying most bitterly. 'Are you hurt, my child ?' 'No. not much ; but my jui; is bmRen, and my aunt will beat ine, tliougn it was not my fault.' 'How much does a jug cost?' Alan whi.--pered. 'Sixpence, 1 think.' 'Then I will buy one. Perhaps I shall not be so miserly after.' Yim will not be so at all, if yon do thai, my fcood little Alan, since'' the misfortunes of the poor touch you.' w'Taen let us buy another Jug and some milk.' Louise kissed tbe boy. then hastened to explain to the weeping; child that it huit her yovng master to see Iht cry ; above all, to think she would be tieaten ; So, toliimter it. He would buy her aiiothot jujj, and some milk. The little girl, consoled, dried h-r eyrs, and followed her kind friendt to the dairy, where, fortunately, they found also jugs of every sort. They chose one as much as possible like the broken tie, filled it with milk, and, af ter having thanked the genetous strangers, Nancy went on her way rejoicing. Alan drew nut his famous rest purse from his pocket, and placed the shilliiii: in the shop-keeper's fitted. She handed luni four pence In exchange, which te put witii the three pennies his mother had given him that morning. When he arrived home, he told his mother all that had occurred. 'I am sorry to hear this. she said gravely. I would never have given yoa that shilling if I had foreseen the rzsult. However, I hope now you see how wrong you have been. Think huw gtieved that poor old beggar must have been to see you pass each day. and wait in vain for your usual prr.ny.' Tears started to Alan'seyes at the thougtt of the poor man, and it was in a very hum ble voice he asked his mother's pardou, which he received, as his last act bad beeu so good . j The next day he started earlier; bought j his cake ; drank a glass of lemonade ; then, i as he returned home, he placed six pennies i in the begirar's hand. J 'I give you sixpence this morniuir, because I had no change these last few days ; but I i shall always bave some now.' Alan is cured of his miserly habit; be has ; learned that, though the economy of the ' poor is a virtue, tha excessive economy of the rich becomes a vice, hardening tha heart ; and stifling all thoughts of humanity or j charitableness. THE R1HT SORT OF A TENANT. "Oh, yes, I have all kinds of tenants," said a kin. I faced, old gentleman ; 'but the one that I like the best Is a child not more than 10 years of age. A few years ago I got a chance to buy a piece of land over on the West Side, and I did so. I noticed that there was an old coop of a house on it, but I paid no attention to It. After awhile a man came to nie and wanted to know if I would rent it to him.' 'What do you want it for ?' says I. 'To live in,' he replied. 'Well,' I said, 'you can have it. Pny me what you think It is worth to you.' "The first month he brought me f2, and the second mohth a little boy, who said he was this man's son, came with $3. After that I saw tbe man once In awhile, but in the course of time the boy paid the rent reg ularly, sometimes $2 and sometimes $3. One day I asked the boy what had become of his father. 'He's dead, sir,' was the reply. 'Is that so ?' said I. 'How long since ?' 'More'n a year, he answered. 1 took bis money, but made up my mind that I would go over and investigate, and the next day I drove over there. Tbe old shed looked quite decent. I knocked at the door and a little girl let me in. I asked for her mother. She said she didn't have any. Where is she? said I. ' 'We don't know, sir. She went away after my father died and we've never seen her since.' 'Just then a little girl about three years old came in. and 1 learned that these three children had been keeping bouse together for a year and a half, the boy supporting his two little sisters by blacking boots and sell ing newspapers and tne elder girl managing tbe bouse and taking care of tbe baby. Well, I just had iny daughter call on them, ind we keep an eye on them now. I thought wouldn't dihtnrb them while they are get g along. The next time the boy came with the rent I talked with him a little and then said : 'My boy, you're a brick. You keep right on as you bave begun and you will never be sorry. Keep your little sisters together and never leave them. Now look at this.' 'I showed him a ledger in which I had en tered op all the money that he had paid me for rent and I told him that it was all his with Interest. 'You keep right on, says I,' and I'll be your banker and when this amounts to a little more I'll see that you get a house somewhere of your own.' That's tbe kind of a te nant to have.' Words op WiSDOM.--IIe that waits hope is tbe poorest man alive. He that's down, down with him, cries the world. He who knows nothing is confident in ev erything. Promises hold men faster than benefits ; hope is a cable and gratitude a thread. One may live as a conqnerer, a king, or a magistrate ; but be must die like a man. You cannot jump over a mountain, but step by step takes you to the other side. When any calamity bas been suffered, the first thing to remember is, bow much has been escaped. I know of but two beautiful things the tbe starry heavens above my head, and the sense of duty within my heart Let a man learn that everything in nature, even motes and feathers, goes by law and not by 'luck,' and that what be sows be reaps. I think that it must somewheie be written that tbe virtue of mothers shall occasionally be visited on their children, as well as tbe sins of fathers. Of all passions jealousy is tbat which ex acts tbe hardest service and pays the bitter est wages. Its service is to watch tbe suc cess of our enemy ; its wages to be sore of it To know the pains of power we mast go those wbo have it ; to know its pleasures we roust go to those wbo are seeking it. Tbe pains ot power are real, its pleasures imag inary. It is asserted that 'Adam was married on Lis wedding Eve. HIE OLD CAHINET. THIUI.LISf; STORY OP A TKRItlBI.K SITUA TION THE DENOUEMENT. A note for you, ma'am. No answer.' 1 was resting In my own room, alter rid ingit was six o'clock, too early to dress for dinner, too late to dress twice after taking off my hAhil sheping over a tik, and coiufoi table in my ahiie dressing gown. I was bored by the interruption. The note was no more than this : 'Dkau Sai.een : I mustbtay h re I ata ; and you must go by tirsi-lf to the L-sters you won't mind. Isaw Jack and he said there was no parly, as it would he trouble some with the wedding to-morrow, and the dining room is given ud to the. breakfast. I'vo sebt bhC . the brougham. Thine. Fi:ed.' Fred is my brother, and was invited, like myself, to dine quietly witii these Lesters, whose pretty daughter was to be manied next day to a frieno of ours specially Fred's and mine John M.rc!i, commonly called 'Jack- 'What keeps Fred?' was uiy passing thought; then I read a little longer, ilressed and drove to Porlman Square. As 1 turned the corner I saw visible preparations and signs of the morrow's wedding at Lesters' door. A crt with flowers was unloading ; an awning was being put up over the balco ny and bail door; men in white aprous cauie ami went As the brougham drew up I could sej through the open floor the hustle and stir within. Al home in the house, 1 opened the dining room door, to see what progress was being maue with the t.tbies. Several maid servants and some of the con fectioner's men were arranging the orna ments aud flowers; the cake, with its con ventional erectiou, stood conspicuous. My friends' maid was putting moss into the flower baskets and decorating tbe high dish es containing the more durable part ot the feast 'Well, Barker,' I was beginning, when I caught the woman's eyes. She was doing her work with a strange gravity, and her face was full or horror and pain. When she saw me she let fall tbe flowers in her hand. O, ma'am ! O, Miss Santh I you have come.' Of course I've come, I answered. 'What is the matter?' 'You haven't seen them, ma'am, have you ?' Seeu who? the ladies? No; I came straight in here to look at the tables. Is there anything wrong? I suppose we're to dine in the library for to day. How nice It all looks !' 'Nice ! O, ma'am, it's a mockery, it's awful ! To see it all, and to go on as if as if O. Lord!' and the woman sat down and rocked herself to and fro, with the tears rur.uing down her face. 1 was tl oroughly alarmed now. 'Baiker, is there anything wrong? Is anyone ill or dead? Don't frighten me like this. I'll go I and see them if you won't speak out;' and I j went to the door. I just saw that Barker had descended to tbe floor, and that her head was on the chair, which she clutched, , sobbing aloud. I met the butler and another man crossing thehall, both Willi scared, solemn faces, : and went on to the morning room on the j same floor. There all looked much as usual. The pride of the hou?e aud of my friends' rather valuable collection of antiquities stood facing the door a huge cabinet with massive clamped doors and richly cut brass work ciscle as only genuine brass work of old time can be ; curiously iuiaid wood work ; marvelous locks, which no one but its owner understood, and no one else dared meddle with. It was a very old friend, the great armoire; playing with the children of the house in my own childhood, I know it, inside and outside, by heart. A mystery and a wonder theu an interest later al ways a thing to admire aud wonder at even now It had three doors. The center one, about four feet wide and certainly six inches thick, shut in another, which again inclosed, with a space of about eight inches of waste room, a set of six drawers, of different sizes, and a sort of cupboard between them. We used to stand as little children between the draw ers and the inner door, and wonder, suppos ing we we were shut in, whether we could breathe long in that narrow inclosure, or be heard by any one without supposing aw ful thought we were forgotten, or tbe outer door was shot. 1 remember thinking ot it in bed at night as nervous children will thiak of such things, till I was cold with horror. Both these two doors shut with a catch which was not a lock ; but we chil dren were forbidden ever to opeu or shut them except when Mr. Lester was present. It was doubtful if anyone else knew bow to open tbem. for no one ever tried. The two side doors opened with curious keys, which stood in tha locks, chained to tbe ar moire. They were valuables in themselves. Tbe great key of the center door, worth a hundred pounds or more, was considered too sacred for common eyes, and lay in a velvet-lined case, In Mr. lister's own keep ing brought out only occasionally to show to those who eoald readily appreciate such things. It stood there In the summer twilight, looming darkly in the quiet room, darker than the rest of the bouse, as back rooms in London often are. Chilly, It seemed to me, in my thin white dress, coming from tbe ball full of sunset light Turning to leave the room I saw a man lying prone on his face upon the sofa ; so still and so straight, and so strange lu bis attitude, tbat 1 could only star for a minute, and wonder whether he was asleep or dead. Ills bands were oyer bis ears, grasping his hair, as in pain ; and 1 noticed the soles of bis boots turned quite up, as one notices trifles in tbe midst of alarm or bewilderment The nails In bis boots showed he was not dressed for dinner, His hat was lying on the floor on Its side. His face I could not see ; but I knew it was Jack March, and I touched his arm in won der. 'Jack, are you awake? Are you asleep ? What is it? I asked, with growing alarm Was I to find something strange In every room I entered in this house? 'Jack,' said again. He turned, and I saw his wild, haggard face, that looked at roe with vague eyes that seemed not to see : and then he put his bead down with a moan and covered bis ears once more, as if to shut out sight and sound. Tbe room felt darker and chil lier for this silent figure, and the gaunt old armoire seemed bigger and more oppressive. I ran out of tbe room in a sort of panic. Up stairs the drawing room door stood open. The glow of the sunset was over the roou, bright with flowers and pictures, and the open windows showed tbe balconies, lined with red cloth, and ready for the guests next day. Mlence here, and silent figures, two of tbem one crouched upon the floor, with arms outstretched noon a sofa ; anoth er man lying half across an ottoman the bride's mother and aisler. As I came in and sioke, now fairly bewildered and frightened, Mrs. Lester rose up with a de spairing wail. 'S.iU tn, Salcen !' ."she stood shaking arid C13 ing out my name. "Dear Mrs. Lester,' I sa!d, taking the ioor woman's cold hands, 'come and sit down, and tell me what bas happened Kate !' I called to the girl on the floor, 'come and give me that cushion.' She cauie mechani cally, and helped her mother to the arm chair. 'Now, tell me, if you can' but Mrs. Lesiei's heAd had fallen baca upou the cushion, and she had fainted. The girl aroused lit r.seif. 'No wonder,' she said ; 'she had eaten nothing all day ; aud theu ail this. It's loo aalul, bale -ii. 1 shall ko mad if I think ; aud papa baa never come b.ick !' 'Where is your father?' '1 don't know. We sent down to the club and to the 1h.us ; they can't find him. And we've searched his roon, and it's Dot there. It's nowhere. And Jack is nearly wild; and we daren't break it open.' It ! What, child ? Can't yon sav what you am talkiug abjut? I shall go mad i:ext. What can't you find? And what ails jou all ?' Saleen, it's Mary. Mary is In there, and the kei la gone, and papa is away, and stie s d ing there suffocating :' and the girl flaoit terse I r 00 the floor with wild sobs and tears. Mrs. lister lay forgotten In her swoon ; Kate rolled in unavailing misery 011 the carpet I fled down stairs. The servants were as busy as ever. I knew it all now. 'Good GoJ !' I said to the butler, who was carrying a tray of glass, 'are you geing on i itb all this uselesc foliy, and that girl dy ing in the next room ? Is no one going to try to save her ?' j Dayis stood still and looked at me pity- ingly ; tie shook his head sadly and weut on. i I rushed into the street ; a policeman was , standing near the carts. 'Come here," I 1 said, 'l'ou'-to another inD-'go and get a j blacksmith. Kun for yout life ! Tell them to oring tools m open locks aod unscrew ev- j erything. Run ! And you get a hatchet ; j get anything ; come and break open the ' great cabinet' I gasped to the servants, ! who came out to see what it all meant ; ' 'Don't lose a moment Great heavens ! the j time that hss "jeen lost already ! Tbey obeyed me, dispersing hither and thither. j It seemed hours before the men came back with tools. 'Try the hinges first. Are 1 there screws ?' There was that chance, and they worked at them, removing several I heavy curious nails and screws, but seeming no nearer the object ; the door was fast and firm. 0, break it down !' 1 screamed at last ; 'break it with tbe hatchet What does anything matter, but her lire her life !' 'Her life,' said some strange voice close to me, and there stood Jack March swaying like a drunken man, with scared eyes and wild hair. Was his reason gone or going ? 'Don't 1' he shouted to a workman wbo was litling tbe hatchet to break in the door. 'Not up there. Her head.' And then he stooped his ear to the keyhole, listened in teutlv a minute, raised bis hand as if to de mand silence, aud, the intelligence fading out of his face, he roe with a discordant laugh and walked away. 'Bah I be said ; 'her life against Ixster's cabinet her life! against a key.' We did not even look round to see where he went stumbling through the hall, where he fell in a fit upon ' the floor. j Fearing to iujure that imprisoned figure ! living or de.td, who could tell we left the door and proceeded to break Into the mid- j die compartment from the wings. The j grand old workmanship resisted ; there ! seemed no weak point, no crevice, no possi bility of breaking into the huge thing with- j out fear of barm to that which it held locked and fast within a few inches of our light i and air and living life, doDe to death by a bit of clever machinery, tbe work ot a dead j band. I would not think of beautiful Mary ; Lester as she might be, must be, if another j hoar went by. All this time no questions j were asked. I never knew until afterward how it bad all happened bow ber father, OLly an hour or so earlier, exhibiting his onderful cabinet to a connoisseur In such matters, bad gone up stairs with his friend to show the key he prized so much, leaving tbe cabinet door open, intending to return how Mary and tbe childteo, a youDger brother and sister, bad come in and bow the unusual sight of the open door had at tracted them bow she looked In aod told tbe little ones Ehe had not stood inside 'so' since she was as little as tbey were ; and laughing, tried to stand in the old place. 'I am not too big even now, am I ?' she said, and the children ran to see, and pushing tbe doors against ber tbe spring caught and shut her in with death and suffocation ; while tbey went shouting to the others tbat sister Mary was 'in there shut up," and 'they couldn't let her out v No, they could not let her out. Mr. Les ter and his friend had gone off with the key to show it to some one wbo ba doubted Its date so it appeared from one of tbe boys who n aw came in; he beard tbem talking on tbe stairs as they went out He said : 'Jarvis knows nothing about it; he bas never seen it' said tbe boy, sobbing. 'I beard him. I know he said Jarvis.' That will be Colonel Jarvis in Charles street, ma'am,' said Davis. 'Maybe if we sent there' There were voices outside, and Barker looked in with a white face of norror. 'It's master coming,' she said. In a sort of whisper. We all stood back. Who was to tell blm ? Who was to say your girl Is behind that im movable door? But the boy, frightened enough at his fa ther at other limes, went up to him, trying to speak quietly: 'The key, sir. Quick, for God's take 'Key! What what's all this? God I sir' seizing a servant by tbe collar and flinging him to one side like a eat 'do you know what you're doing meddling with that cabi net? Why, It's worth thousands! God bless me, what does all this mean ? He was pur ple with anger. 'Don't stand staring Sara Heriot,' he thundered, 'you are net a fool ; be good enough to explain this this' I went up to blm, sic with horror. 'The key is wanted,' I managed to say. 'There is some one inside dying. Some one dying in there ! Who? What? Wbo Is it Kirl ?' lie shook me by the shoul der till I winced with pain. 'O, the key, the key 1 Never mind any thing else, sir. Only open It quick, aod lose no more time.' lie looked sharply round. Mrs. Lester and Kate were standing at the door, with their terrified, miserable faces. He look in the re-i -of us wtili a glance. Wheie's Mary V he cited suddenly. No one spoke. 'Why the deuce don't you an swer me ? ",Vho is shut in there? How could any one e '.here? Tras'i !' But his face was growing asl.y gray, atid his lips white-ed as he spoke. 'Ab. my God ! I never shut the door ! It is not Mary, not my girl that's' He pointed witii a shaking hand to tbe hea vy door. 'And I haven't the key! He made one ru!i to the street; tbe ser vants standing about were swept right aud left, as he tore past theru. down Orchard street into Oxford street They could e the hatless, fleeing figure disappearing in the distance. Mis. Lester came into the hall T::-j doc tor and others were busy about poor Jack March, who lay on the dining room sofa with closed eyes, happily unconscious. Tha timid mistress of the bouse stood by the staircase, her face, her voice, her whole a pearance changed and agud ic the last hour. 'He has gone for the kej ; he can't be back,' she said, speaking like a woman in a dream, 'not for half an hour. She looked round stupidly and smiled. 'He will kill tne you know; but the cabiDet shall be broken open broken to pieces. Never oiiud. Fancy waiting for the key !' She laughed 'Break it down, 1 tell jou. I give tbe order. Do you hear me? Two workmen came from a side door, where a fresh and useless attempt bad been made to teniove the pane without injury to the front or to the Imprisoned girl. 'We might loosen tbe wood-work and strike it out, mum ; and go on taking out screws same time.' Do it' Sharp blows upon chisels now, and sever- al screws removed from lock and hinges. Strike at the hinges with tbe hatchet came Mrs. Lester's altered voice, hard and wiry, usually so low and hesitating. 'Cut them through ; it can be done it shall.' They struck with a will ; the hatchctedge was pressed to the weakest part "d heavy blows from a mallet upon that. The hatch- et edge was turued. and a diut made ; some of the work injured and brofcen hut co more. 'Cut through the panel.' sucijestrd Kate. 'Surely wood can be broken." 'It's all lined with iron, mum," said Davis; it is as good as a safe. But we might try. Three telling blows. The moon suddenly darker, a chill blast of wind from the win dow, and the dxr swung to with a banz. Every one looked round. A growl of dis tant thunder, and a faint flash of ligbtDlng accounted for it ntxt moment. More blows and a long ominous roll, and tbe lichtDiDg playing across the great armoire ; then an avalauche of rain and hail all strange and incongruous on this fir.e evening. The room was nearly dark. One of the men spoke.' 'Is there a step ladder in the house ? It was brought. 'I'll try the top, with your leave, ma'am. Ah, if I bad a light now !' He was given a taper from the library table. 'Bill to his companion look tere ; hold the light and keep a hand on the side.' lie lift ed the hatchet and gave a swinging blow another au awful clap of thunder ai d the next flash showed every white face to the other. Quick steps in the hail, and the door flung wide ; a wild, wet figure threw the key among us, and fell to a heap upon the flor. With a wrench the man on the ladder tore off the upper molding and half the roof of tbe armoire. Mrs. tumbled with the Lester took up the key, lock, let it fall with a shiiek. Barker caught it from her, put it In and turued it. 'Open it,' she whispered to one of the rot n ; 'I can't. She turned away sick with dread. It was cpend, showing nothing bat the terrible inner door, whose spring was only known to the master, lylDg senseless on the floor. Take off more bete, one of tbe men shouted ; it will giy air till the door's get open." Good thought They worked savagely. Mrs. Lester was on her knee by her hns baoa. 0 get brandy. Get him to speak. He could tell us tow. They did what ibey could. 'William ! O, speak to mc How cat I open it, the spring the inner door ?' Tbe white lips moved, and the head with Its dripping bait rolled to one side, but do sound came. Tbe men worked wildly now. All thought of sparing the beautiful front and brass-work was forgotten. Tbey tore aud hammered at the inner door, whose smooth, polished surface presented no crev ice or Joint where to strike first where to Insert a chisel or direct a blow. As tbey worked, consciousness returned to Mr. Les ter, be half sat up, supporting himself against tbe door, but do words came, though his lips moved and his eyes looked with In tense eagerness at the destruction of tbe precious armoire. He lifted his hands and looked mutely at his wite. She put her head down to his lips. 'What Is it? What shall I tell them to do?" Ila beat his kaod upon the floor. Kate sprang forward. 'I know ! 1 know t Strike on tbe floor, at tbe foot ot the Inner door I O, I remember, it was there !' Davis felt with his hand all along t'le pol ished surface of the iowest shelf. 'Here, press here ; give me a hammer.' He felt a slight rise, and struck gradually all about the spot Kate showed him. A deafenics clap of thunder, and a flash, blinding us for the moment and we all crowded close, and then came a creak, drowned In the awful thunder. -It's open, said one ot tha men. Kate slid to tbe door, twisting my dress about her bead. Davis turned from tbe door. I daren't look. he said, 'Do you, to the carpenter' man. 'Open it gently. Barker stretched forward, turt.ed round. tried to say something, and burst out crying. I can't see,' said the man. with a strange. thick voice. 'Bring the light, some one.' For ten awful seconds there was eilence la the dim room, then a cry. and a heavy fall. 'Sleen,' said a voice close to me, 'do you know It's a quarter past seven, and you are due at the Lesters at half past: and Dot even dressed. Here's your book fallen down. I had been asleep over an bonr. If I felt like a conspirator at the Lesters' pleasant dinner it is not surprising but I did, not mention my dream. Friends and enemies are mary-sided, and, while we may correctly see parts f their character, other parts are veiled freni os. Every one has his virtues and vices, his excellencies and shortcoming, and, while much we see in him may be actuary there, there is much more of which we nev er dream. Be a father to virtue, but a f uber-in law to vice. r r n 1- !t 1
