D. Smith & Co., near the win ing town of S Mr. Smith and his family were living in a neat college close to the mill, and often I and the engineer, James Alton, by name, were invited by our employer to attend the evening, _wor ship held in his house. One evening just as we were taking leave of his family. we heard the sound of carriage wheel, itnmediately:foliowed by a knock at the door. " Minnie is coming ! Minnie is corn ing !" exclaimed. Mrs. Smith, rushing past us into the entry. Her husband followed with a light. A minute after the door opened, and Minnie, her eldest daughter, was lucked in her mother's arms. Minnie was a beautiful girl about sev enteen years of age. Three years she had passed in a young ladies' seminary Utica, N. Y., and now she bad returned to her mountain home, amidst the pines and ce• dare of California. The engineer and I lingered awhile af• ter her arrival, for both of Ili desired to be introduced to Minnie Smith. " Minnie, I make you acquainted with Louis, our head sawyer, and James, our engineer. I guess you'll be glad to make their acquaintance, for both are good mu sicians and excellent singers. I suppose your musical education has not been neg lected ?" "I have learned a little iustrutuental music, but I have no voice," replied she to her father, after bowing to me. James had held out his hand, but she did not touch it, and 1 saw that lie blushed deep ly, while his eyes glittered revengefully at what he supposed her disdain. Soon after we left the cottage. On our way to the mill I said : " James, old boy, you looked mad Why, don't you know that in good socie ty they never shakelhands. but only bow." "Weill didn't know it. But, neverthe less, she could have shaken hands with me when she saw that r held out my hand !" replied be in a surly tone. I then began to praise linnie's beauty. and:asked his opinion about her; and he gave me no answer. When we parted for the night I noticed that his voice sounded strange as he said : "Don't fall in love with that girl, she is too aristocratic to be the wife of a head saw yer Four weeks had passed since I became acquainted with Minnie. Almost every teyenit i tg .Mititiicondrsculdi?9 seep t iu ti;ie parlor of the cottage ' Soon it beedine known that Minnie and I were sitting 1t the foot of a huge sugar piuc talking about our approaching marriage, whoa we heard the report of a rifle, the bullet of which whistled apast nay head. I sprang to my feet and shouted : " Halloa ! you stupid fellow, what are you shooting at ?" -~;..; _, " I supposed it was a deer !" answered a well known voice, and Tames, wi th a rifle in his hand emerge 1 from some bush es about fifty feet from where I stood. " You couldn't mistake me fur a deer l' said I " Yes answered Jameis, plintint; to my gray hat in the band of which Minnie had pla'-fully stuck some dry branches from a bush close by. " Ah, I see," said I, taking off toy hat. "Well, nest time yo. had better look a little closer !" " r will," repeated hc, moving aw:iy and soon his form was lost amidst the increas ing darkness. 'lt seemed to me that, his voice sounded strangely. But I had no time to think about it, for Minnie fainted, and it seemed a long time to me before she opened her eyes. It was night before we reached the cottage. Next day James Alton gave us notice that he would leave within ten days. Time rolled quickly away amidst the preparations for our corning marriage. I had been twice to S—in order to hire another engineer, but I could find no one to take James' place and he was compell ed to remain until the arrival of a ma chinist, an old friend of' mine, who wa, coming from San Francisco. On the Sunday evening, two days be fore the day set for my marriage with Minnie, I had occasion to go down to the saw-mill. After I had looked at the saws to see if they had been properly wedged and filled, I descended in a boiler room We had two large steam boilers set side by side. As usual, in troth ends were the tnan-holes These are semi-circular open ings through which, when necessary. the fireman creep in order to clean the in4le of the boilers. One .of th e,.e man holes was open, and some b iys. children of one of the fireman were playing witn a short iron bar near by. I do not ha ,w what ma le me stop and watch them pushing the bar through the aperture while the} listened to the sound of the water as waveic's moved past the bar, and dashed against the inside of the Stop that play, boys," said I. '• and tell James to close up the boiler." They had not seen me before, and when the heard my voice they let the barrell and scampered away. The bar dropped with a loud splash into the water. " Never mind," thought I, the firemen can get it out again when they clean the boiler next Sunday." " I was about to leave tho boiler room when James enter ed. "Good evening sir," began he in tt cheerful tone : I guess the new engi neer will arrive to-morrow night, and I am IN A BOILER. DING, NOB ANY PLEASURE BO :I,ASTING." MORN - IN, 1 0 Cal glad of it. Please stop into my room arid read the letter which . I've received this afternoon. From it you can see why lam glad to get away flout here.'• He gave me a letter. It teas-to dark to read outside, and I entered hiS room. A lighted lamp stood upon th 6 table. I sat down and read the .letter, which was from James' mother, urging him to come home instantly. " You thought I was toad at you be cause you made love to iiuuie. ,But you were mistaken, old boy, fur look at this letter," said he handing me another. It was a letter apparently from a Young girl, although the hand writing looked rather masculine It was dated from the' saute New England village in which James' mo ther was living, and its contents breathed intense love fur hint. It was signed " Annie." 1 ' Yes," replied lie, in answer to my -questioning look. "TT marry Annie as soon as. I set foe. .t in my. native villaee " " Won't you wait until the buts are published ?" asked I with a laugh. "Not a minute I'll go straight t her house, take her to the next parson, who, for money and good words, will soon tie the knot! 'Now,' continued he' after a pause, during which he took a bottle and two tin cups from a shelf, above his bed ; " now let's drink to the health of ear in tended brides." And he filled the cups !" " Hold on, James let nie'know what is in the cups !" said I. " Your intended father-in-law gave me a bottle of Angelica wi❑e. lle said that it was the best he had in his cellar" an swered James. I like sweet wine and I took the cup. "here is to the health and prosperity of Annie!" exclaimed I, emptyit.g the cup " Here's to Miss Miunie, who, I am sure, will be the best and truest of wives !" was the toast of Jame,, as he too emptied his cup " Now here is a real Havana !" said 11,-; taking seine cigars from his pocket and handing oue to me. which I lighted Then .settling back into the chair I listened to a detailed account of his precious life. The narrative seemed very uninteresting to me, and I was wishing inwardly :hat it would soon end, fur I had to go to S that very same night on business connect_ ed with the mill. Gradually the light became kiln), and he voice of James sounded hollow. I. tried to tell him to trim the lamp and speak a little louder; Lut my lips oit',y moved, and not a JUUnd came from my throat. Toe tobacco stnoke :is choking. me, thought I, casting toy eyes upward t r u tOor-tift3TC'tili of the"tuLl> upnA'ivu)u was 'Sing the ha t coubttuicd cigar. -Stiati;..!c that I felt no . pain as the hand struck the sharp corner of the chair. I tried to rise, but my eudeavors were in vain. Some heavy weight appeared to press upon illy shoulders, a weight which I could nut shake off I lifte imy eyes toward Janie., who was sittsug op pus to me. (loud God Was it an hallucination of my whirling brain, or was it reality? I saw, as if o:tough a haze, the eyes of James glaringat me like those of a Wild cat about to spring upon his prey. Ev ery line in his features proclaimed hate— undying hate. He ruse and advanced close to where I sat. Ms voice sounded to me like the ri.nr of thunder, as he,said : " I I've got you now my fine rel low. this time I am sure that you never, never can marry Miunie. Teu minutes more and you are dead.' 0 ! nu use !" cried he in a woke that pierced my ears, as he saw how I tried r.) At the of the coil that ,seemed tu. bind me to the chair.

His voice seemed to lower to a whivey as he continued : " They will ,ay that you have been a Gil lian, that you fl,tl s feo: Alayi..b,efore the day.set for your :ghillie will be very unhappy, an'l [ will do my best to cheer her up.

Please give my best regards, to his Satanic Majesty. Tell him that sooner or later I join you in the fiery regions below. Your eyes are closing now, your flee: has the hue of death, your limbs are getting cold, yes, cold as ice :" I felt the touch of his hot hand upon my face. It 'S'eemed that if a thousand needles were entering every part of toy body ; a red blur ob.cured toy viAon,aud it was beconiim , darker and darker. I felt • as if some . thing was pressing upon toy head which now seemed to leave my body my breath became shorter—all at once it stopped. • I felt', as I counted the beatings of my heart—one, lien. direr, Aar, jive air ! Then all was I opened my eyes, that is, I felt I open ed them, as not a ray of light fell upon ' Darkness, impenetrable dark- . nes& was around we, Was lin the grace? I made an effort to stretch forth toy hands. I succeeded. They moved ti rough water which I now felt was adying around my neck. , Where was I ? Surely it was not a dream, for I felt that I was thoroughly awake. I raised my right arm to my head and my hand ea Ine in con act 'with an iron rod upon which my head was ly ing. Again the quemion passed through my mind : Where mu I?" Soon, but too soon the question was an swered. Hark ! I hear the sound of a distant voice. It came nearer and nearer—yes, my ears did not deceive me. It was the voice of George, our night watchman. He was singing a song. The words of the refain came distinctly to my ears : "And for bonnie Annie Laurie I'd lay nie down and die!' ,-. It took all my strength to raise myself, into a sitting posture. I stretched out my artus. I felt that I was sitting upon something t hat had it cylinttr:cal , shape,autl the water was now only up to my waist. All at Once tin , horrible trail flashed urn) my mind. Great God of he:ivens ! I was mad ! No ! not mad, but I felt tloit lunacy in the shape of a terrible si t etre wss a ppr..aehing me, for the quet..l, l 4m wa an,wered : '• 1 was imprison«l within the steam. boiler ."' I begau to :bout " Help ! Ge.lrge, for auke. help !". But my voice sounded like that f a muffled - bell. Thor) I commenced to pound with my lists upon t he iron. Surely George must hear that, thought I. But no, he was. whistling the tuue of Yankee Doodle. Once he stopied, and a thrill of j.,y ran through we. Then he began again. I lelt my way to the head of the boiler. for now I heard that he was opening the furnace door. I wed knew what he was going t•• do. Soon I heard a scratehi,,r, sound—he was lighting a match. Then I heard the rwaling of shavings which he was throwing into the furnace. This was shortly followed by a crackling eound. " lie bas lit the fire and I will be bulled alive:" thought I, again pounding and scratching against the sides of the boiler in the vain hope of waking myself heard. I felt not, the pain, but I felt that the' warn' blood was dropping from lay keer ated knuckles and torn-nails. T listened. The slnirp crackling sound of the fire be cattle lower. Aga.o I had hopes. The fire had gone out, alid I knew that the watchman had gone to bed, for the lighting of the fire was his la , t duty, at five o'clock in the morning. I also know that the fireman would nut rise until hair past ,five. ,T vitnn ty,, pe rlta ps sw ty-ft - - 10it The '• Thirty minutes and then I must NM fZilded my hands, I prayed to God as I had never prayed before. I recalled to my mind a prayer my mother taught me whey I was a child, and a holy calm came over me, for surely, thought 1 . , lie who sees sparrows fill will not desert me iu icy present need. Slowly my hands parted and fell to my side, and slowly I crawled back to the end of the boiler where I knew was the manhole through which I had b..eu shoved by the wicked engineer while I was under the influence of the drug which he had a Iministered. I passed my hands over the cant-iron plate which shut up the only ingress to the boiler. I pushed against it with all my strength ; still I knew that one huu Bred pounds of stbaui pres , ure could riot remove that plate. I felt exhausted by my efforts, and I threw myself at full length upon the flues. The water covered me np to my neck and head, which. I kept above its level. A 4esperate thought came to my mind. Why should I not drown myself by low ering my head ? It would end my misery at once. Some one seemed to whisper into my ear, ‘• Do it." •I'hen another voice said, " It is suicide, an&God will punish Mil I laughed, yes, I laug!ned. It's only a dream," ,said I, " and I soon will awake and once more see the blessed light of day." But it was not a dream, it was a terrible reality. 'The love or life cattle bark to me. Again I pressed my hands over the cold surface'of the boiler.

I used it as a hummer against the cast iron plate which covered the man-hole. One sharp b!ow, a crack, and a stream of blinding light tell upon wy eyes. It was the rising sun, fur the back part of the boiler looked toward the east. Two more blows, and the broken plate fell with a splash into the water, and left the aper ture open and clear fur my escape. • It is yet a wonder to me that the in ten-e joy that)" experienced did nut kill me. With diffiCulty I crawled through the opening. I staggered toward the en. glover's room and opened the dour. The apartment was tenantless; James had gone to his Lreakshist.

There was'un partition between the boiler and engine room.

Quickly he dropped the cord connected with, the. lever. and something like a groan issued front his half' open mouth. lle then lit his pipe, but after one or two puffs he threw it upon a bench_ Thenagain lie resumed his rapid walk. I looked at the steaut gague. It indicated ten pounds pressure to the square ineh, and was rapidly rising. James stopped in his walk and began to oil the journals of the engine. The fireman had' one out of the room. "Now is-my time," thought I, rising up' and jumping on the boiler next the engine. • - • "'James—.Tames !" cried 1, awl toy voice soundrd strange even to toe.
