Ah, Tom !I thought you a more manly fellow than thus to drive a defenceless woman to the wall. Think of it. Are my lines laid in places so very much pleasanter than sours? Do you have to smart under the lash of cruel words directed at him who is most dear, feeling the while that you are powerless to resent them? Could you hear your lover's name associated with the names of odious, bad men, and he expected to look uncon cerned without a page? And, finally, be ing a woman, with no chance to escape from petty persecutions, I become so bold as to fly clandestinely to the man who is the cause of my trouble, and I am welcom ed with an uugeuerous addition of what has bccorne a part of my daily ?It is v..!ry delightful :" '..f hen why submit to it; why not leave a home fraught with distress, to be wel comed to a humbler, in which a true heart will make up by its devotion, the comforts that are relinquished.?

Lucy, I ant tempted to think your affection is 'like sunbeams—pretty, but easily dissipabQd!" "Enough! if you will know—if you will insist in drarging the truth from me —then hear.

"Tom 1" I cried, but in vain. lie had turned on his heel, and was striding rap• idly in the direction of the town, while I was left alone with the bitter reflection that, henceforth, life - would be a lone, dreary blank.

Our sex would llsre i!1. if we were not provided with eseape v:zlve. A brief rest per initte(i tle. to re:iume the train of tliought interrupted by my emotions. I consider ed my lire bli , A hted, and was soon reduced to a fram!r of mind that would have tam rered with prussic acid on slight provoca tion. z:._.~...:~ is custliest Tier, Mivart had been my playmate as long as I could remember; we had been inseparable, and planned ail of our mis chievons forays in concert. Naturally, cur youthful fancy—because of constant association, perhapl—had grown in ardent affection as we matured. My father and old Mr. Mivart were cronies. and when Torn's fath,:r died he transferrod his friend- Alp to the boy's widowed mother. Time rrew apace; and from a city clerk in mod crate circumstances my father bloomed into a capitalist. This change in his po sition modified his bearing towards his old friends. Mrs. Mtvart was keenly sensitive of the change, and, like the sensitive plant, felt the adverse influence to such an extent teat her friendly visits ceased in time, leaving Tom the only surviving olive branch. He took mines as if he was am iceberg. and to the manner bAni. ;ye died to WIU n. boy ? Our intimacy caused my good lather treat annoyance, as waxing richer, he be u•an to have ambitious views concerning the marriage of his only daughter and heir. The storm burst at last, and Tom was denied admittance to the house; while I received a strict command to terminate the intimacy. The chains that can part lovers have yet to be forged. I believe, and the result was, our love sought ways that were dark, but none the less successful. My father became cognizant of this, and, preceiving the futility of breaking up the attachment of years by merely parent al commands, resorted to wiles that, I blush to confess, did little credit to his hand or heart. No cc:maion was lost to expatiate on the bad character of my lover, and, as the constant drip of water finally wears away a store, I became imbued with this idea that my darling was really vicious. Womanlike, this endeared him the more to me in one sense, yet, at the same time, the feeling constantly gained ground that he was not an eligible companion for a rood girl, and insensibly colored my thoughts concerning him. My father was very clever hi all this business, as the sequel will prove. I had no idea, however, of the wheels within wheels that were noisely revolving to my detriment. As the reader has seen, my last interview with Tom ended in a mis.und-2rstanding, on, ac- count of my blurting out the waspish in sult that had ben bred of the constant detraction it was toy daily portion to Lear. , My bitter retleeti,.ns were short by my maid announcing that the dinner was wait ing nay pres , nice, and, hurl ied;y deseeading, I met toy rather, who, fr,nn appearance, e=ko-;ii 11,0 hotrot.s.

"Papi," I begun, have nit affairs at the bank g , _ine well to day ?" "So well, my daughter," he rttorted, "that I am seriously considerinz the pro priety of adopting bank rules fir the guid ance of my household. I think the rule of closinir at three epecially admirable in its workings when applied to inanimate or animate chattels. Daughters, for in stance, if deposited as collateral, child not leave the house for nocturnal rambles with objectionable companions." How he had learned of my latest escape, I wondered, but strove to repress any re flection of my thoughts in my face.. "Au excellent idea," I laughingly re plied. "It would have a beneficial effect on the servants, and materially linplify my duties in the household 1" "Yes, and abroad," he was quick to re tort. '•I see by the papers," I resumed, non chalantly, "that the community is disturb ed by the reports of recent bank robberies. Do you anticipate any trouble ?" "None, except of a family nature. Bad associations may lead to almost any dis graceful and ruinous complications," with a penetrating glance in my direction. "Ila, ha ! I see your musical education emulates the versatility of a Paganini, and I am free to confess you quite equal to his reputed excellence on a violin of one _ _ _ After sayinsr, which, I was siezed with cowardly misgivings because of my bold ness, and the dinner was ended in gloomy silence. I left him to the enjoyment of his cigar and sherry, and again retired to my room, where dismissing the service of my maid, I unlocked a cabinet and began re reading the many missives that in every line breathed Tum's undying love. How long I was thus employed I know not, when, suddenly, the gas was exting guiehed. I arose, and, iu alarm, groped my way to the door, with the idea of as certaining the cause of so unusual an oc currence.' Stepping noiselessly into the hall, I stood fvr a moment listening intently. At first I heard nothing, and was on the point of re tracing my steps, half ashamed of my fool ish timidity, when the sound of muffled footsteps and a low murmur of voices came from the direction of the dining room. It flashed upon me at once that robbery, and perhaps murder, was afloat, for a mo ment I stood paralyzed with terror. Then my self-possession returned, and I deter mined to alarm the household, or at least to reach my father's room, and warn him of his peril. Breathlessly, and with cautious step., I stole silently down the hall, and had al most reached my father's door, when sud denly I was seized with a grasp of iron, and a hand pressed tizhtiv over my mouth before I could utter the slightest sound. Then my captor hissed in my ear a hoarse whisper : "If yer try to escape, miss, or make a bit. of noise, I'll throttle ye in a minute. Walk along ahead o' me, and step easy." Trembling from bead to foot, I obeyed, and we passed along the hall and slowly descended the stair. Entering the library led by the ruffian, who had never relaxed his hold of my arm, I found it occupied by two men, roughly dressed, and having their faces concealed by black crape masks. The robbers bad collected a few articles, of value, chiefly silver plate from the din- ii. Li . iti f IA r;', r ...,_ ing room sideboard, and were now busily engaged in trying to force open the great safe built in the rear wall. My cu4odisn, who was disgui,ed like his comrades, now forced me to seat myself in a large chair. to which he tied me with a stout cord. Taking from Lis pocket a curiously soap ed piece of wood, he forccd it rudely into my mouth, and fastened it firmly in posi tion with a handkerchief. I was then ju:t able to breath, but could not have uttered a sound had my life depended on it. The robber then said, menacingly :_ "Now little lady, as long as you don't try to !.-et or wake any alarm, you shan't be hat cue.l, l .i.a. :;'ton do we'll choke the life cut of you in to time." Then he turned to as.zist his confeder ates at their work upon the sate. Mat coy feelin, were during these dreadful moments, whieh seemed hours is duration, is easier imagined than describ ed. Only one thought sustained me, and saved me from swooning with terror, and that was that I must control myself, and be ready to take advantage of any happy accident that might enable me to frustrate the dcsitis of these villains. For what seemed an interminable time, but was really only a few minutes the bur glars labored unsueces:_ , fulfy at the safe.— It was evident th,tt they were ignorant of the combination, and unprovided with the tools necessary to fore.:: a door of such strength. With an oath the leader desisted from the ft ttitlegs tack, motioning to his com rades to do the same, and turned to me Fad Intl _ _ "Was that yes father's room you were strikin' out for when I nabbed you miss?" In-linctively I nodded my head affirma Lively. "I thought so," said the ruffian; " 'tain't no use. boys, tryin' to bust the safe with the tools we've got, but the old man can open- it for us 'thout no trouble, so git yer persuaders ready, and we'll tackle him We can leave the gal here. She's safe enough." So s tying, the burly villain produced a revolver, and taking his bull's eye lantern from the table, led the way cautiously up stairs. The door was closed on me, and I was left in silence acd darkness alone. A thrill of horror ran over me as I rea • lized that they were about to seize my father, and cumpel him to open the safe, for I knew him too well to suppose that be would tamely submit without a strug gle., and a struggle with these desperate men he had to contend with meant instant death. This flashed through my mind in a second, and I instinctively struggled desperately to free myself. The imminence of danger pave me un natural strength, and my lashings snapped and set me free. Rising to my feet 1 steadied myself for a moment and listened. Not a sound reached my eats; evidently the burglars had not yet entereliny fah el.'s room. Tearing the gag from my mouth, which was cut and bleeding, I glided noiselesS!y across the room, ept , ned one of the low French windows, and leaped out urn the terrace beneath. I rushed across the lawn, and dashed headlong through the shrubbery toward the toad. On reaching it, I still kept on at the same rapid pace, and ran several hundred yards before I realized where I was or what I was trying to do. Then I stopped for a moment bewildered and half fainting with fright and fatigue. But as my father's peril returned to my thoughts, I tore en again, more madly than before, but now I knew where I was going. I would summon Tom ! He would save my father from those dreadful men ) . Forth. nately, my first wild rush had carried me toward the little building which Tom oc cupied as office and sleeping room, and a few moments sufficed to bring me panting to his door. Calling in a voice almost unrecognizable from terror and exhaustion, "Tom, Tom, save my father." I beat frantically upon the door with my clenched hands, and then, as the noise within told me that I had aroused him, and his quick step came toward the door, overtaxed nature gave way, and I sank fainting to the ground. CHAPTER. 11.-lIIS SIDE. Jack Thorn had been the closest friend of my boyhood, and so great seemed our natural love and confidence to our school mates, that they frequently dubbed us the modern Damon and Pythias. Even :in those halcyon days, however, Jack de veloped traits of character that were a sure index of his future career. Ile was not truthful, consequently not honest, and although jovial and the best of companions, he rarely failed to lead his friends into trouble if he once gained the ascendency. I early fell a victim to his fascinations, and emulated his pernicious example in a manner that was more faithful than whole• 80111 e. Our school and college days passed pleasantly enough, with only a few scrapes, not more setious, perhaps, than those of our fellow students ; but even here Jack's peculiar gifts showed to advantage, as I was always the sufferer in our confederated mischief. He escaped by subterfuge and misrepresentation that put the burden of game on my shoulders. Yet he could al ways explain to my satisfaction how it was that my bad luck made me the victim. Yes, there it was. My evil destiny con stantly interposed to destroy my happi ness, and, being told so often that luck was at fault, I finally became a believer in the thing myself. The effect of bad as sociations seems to follow one indefinitely ; and although our paths diverged soon after we left college, Jack would occasionally cross my way, and the consequences were invariably fraught with mischief to me. I had, as I thought, reason to suspect he envied me Lucy's love. My father's death threw me on my own resources, but, never having worked for my daily bread, I was at a loss where to seek employment. Lucy's father gave me a position until be deemed it prudent to forbid me the house Becoming desperate at the turn my love and business affairs had taken, I was ripe for any desperate enterprise, when Jack Thorn, as the astronomers would say, entered my orbit, and forthwith unfolded a plan by which I was to make a great sum of money, with but trifling exertion. The details of the plan he - would not di vulge, but requested me to make certain inquiries concerning the Stevens national bank, said inquiries beino• ' of a nature that roused my suspicions and inclined me to the belief that some nefarious enterprise was at the bottom of Jack's unwonted elu tion. I promised to take the matter into consideration, but the more I thought about it the more averse I became to the idea, and the greater grew my necessities. Law business was absolutely at a stand- still. I did not know until later that lack of clients was due to the machinations of . my active enemy, Lacy's father. After toy interview with It, r, in {. ;,, s:1211 an ttQt:ent.li-i.c , :ssection, I . : - : (-el that, %vas II- 0.! %joint of a ; ; 'Olt - . maddened by Luc,': ddection, I wcal.ly shut my eyes to c.msequenes, and detcrutined to go t.; the do'..ts t:s rapidly as elrcue:stances would permit..

I may fetch you some bonds—can't tell 'cm fr.m the real thing—and all you wi!l have to du is to di;l)..isi,t of theist in a gentlemanly way. and pocket fly per cent. for your troubl e." lT lir; NOS d, a ••_,!;,,!:-; piece of rasca!ity ! Do you know the p , naliy r "Bang the penalty ! There's no risk. The thing will be Evade as easy and as pleasant as a trip to Saratoga." ••Well, I'll think about it,"' I said, ris ing ; "and now I must ask you to excuse me fur I have an eng,agement." "All right, old fellow !" ha replied, add ing, as he passed out, "I think you will come round, and then who knows—Lucy, bridesmaids, etc.. eh ?" • I cjuld have throtticd him for Lis im pertinence, but restrained my anger, and, establishing myself comfortably iu a large easy chair, strove in vain to my min on "Story on Contracts." It, was useless. My thoughts constantly t everted to the cpnversation,and the scheme began to exert a dangerous fascination over me. I got into a fever of excitement about it and paced the floor for hours try ing to still the pleadings of my conscience and reason myself into the belief that I might accept Jack's proposition without loss of self-respect or honor. Suddenly my trcrAbled reflections were broken in up ,n by hearine , ° my name called faintly in a voice all too familiar to my ears. I ran quickly to the door and beheld Lucy, half fainting from fright and ex. haustion, lying prostrate upon the door step. To raise her in my arms and carry her into the office was the work of a moment ; and, hastily grasping a flask from the table, I made her drink a little brandy, which soon brought back the color to her cheeks and the fire to her eyes, and gave her strength to tell me the cause of her sudden appearance at my bachelor den. Ia bss than five mioutei we were on our way back to the Stevens mansion, I having taken the precaution to arm my self with a revolver, and carrying a stout walking stick. Traveling at a rate of speed that ren dered conversation quite impossible, we quickly traversel the distance, and climb ing the low railing, made our way cau tiously through the shrubbery until we came out upon the lawn, directly under the library windows. A dim light shown through the open casement and we heard . a murmur of voices, but we could not dis tinguish what was said. Cautioning Lucy to remain concealed in the shrubbery, and freeing myself from her detaining arm as she sought to warn to be ca;eful, I crept up t.,) one of the vindows and peered through the slats of tie closed blinds. The sight I saw there nerved tne for the coming strucrgle. Seated in a large chair was Mr. Stevens, securely bound, and standing over him, io menacing attitudes, were the three thieves, the leader holding a glittering knife against the old man's throat while he thus ad dressed him: "Come, old man, we ain't got no more time for arguyfyin' ; give us that combina tion or yer a dead man ! Out with it, or we'll have to smash ye." "I will not," was the firm reply. The robber raised some weapon, there was a dull thud and a groan, and then I waited no longer, but bursting open the shutter, sprang suddenly into the room. _ _ The moment I landed on the floor I opened fire with my revolver, and one of the villains fell at the first shot. The others, at first taken by surprise, quickly recovered their self- possession, and draw ing their pistols, returned my fire. Shot succeeded shot, and the room was filled with the blue, sulphurous smoke. As I fired my last, shot at random one of the robbers grappled with me, and we came to the floor tightly locked in each other's grasp, and continued the strug gle. At this instant, shouts, a pistol shot and de scream of women resounded upon the air, and halt' a dozen of the servants burst into the room, armed with a miseellaneJus assortment of weapons that would have put Falstaff's body guard to blush. I had just succeeded in stunning my antagonist with a well directed blow and sprang to my feet to find one burglar lying dead before the safe doors, with poor Mr. Stevens stretched beside him insensible, while dismal groans proceeding from the hall indicated the whereabouts of the ruffian, who, endeavoring to escape by the front door, had afforded the gardener !an opportunity to display his marksman ship. As the servants tenderly raised Mr. Stevens to a sofa, I took the precaution to secure my burglar, who began to show symptoms of reviving animation, and then tearing the crape mask from his face, I beheld—Jack Thorn ! _ _ "My side" is soon told. Jack was rec ognized by Mr. Stevens, and the culprit confessed that he had played double with the old gentleman, under the pretext of compromising me so that any further thought of gaining Lucy would be futile, for which he was to be paid roundly; he had planned and put into execution this diabolical scheme, and been trapped. Mr. Stevens' injuries eventually proved fatal ! but he lived long enough to ask my forgivenesS, and give his approval when Lucy became Mrs. Mivart. My first case was the p!easing duty of assisting the State's attorney to send Thorn to the penitentiary, where he now is. Lucy, who is looking over my shoulder, suggests that perhaps any further details of "my side" of the story might be more interesting to our family circle than to the reader; but I must add that we have con cluded not to name the youngster Jack Thorn, at any rate.
