Wo wcro nlono in tho houso JInudo Clinptuiu and I aud did not altogether like tho position. Whilo tho daylight lasted: and thcro seemed so much lifo about tlio farm, it seemed Very plcasnut to havo tlio houso to ourselves, to bo nblo to wander through tho quaint old rooms and to talk on tho subjects very uear to both of us, without tho dread of being overshadowed by tho Loudon fc- malo cousins and tho roysteriug youths who had como to epend n month of tho shooting season beneath our roof. For a timo wo rovclcd in ourcomparativo solitude, anil pitied tho fctnalo cousins, tho eager sportsmen, poor papa, nnd tbo rest of tho household, who had been beguiled into accepting nn ilivilalion to Mid. Itatllotrap's pic-nioat tho Scrubs, a picco of moorland somo eight miles distant from our house. o were all expected, but mv old school.fcl- low, Maud, pleaded hcadacho, nnd I was not sorry to havo an excuso to stay at homo with my guest. Wo had met but seldom sinco wo had left tho primary school at Taunton; and al though Maud had already been with us a week, what with tho noisy clatter of our friends, tho croquet tourneys, tho lawn dances, nnd tho other pleasant ways in which our oycnlngs wcro spent, wo had, hitherto, had no opportunity of joining in thoso mutual confidences so dear to women who nro ill tlio blissful stato known as "en gaged." Tliero was a particularly tender bond of sympathy bctwoon us, inasmuch ns I was in a bi-wceklv correspondenco with her brother John, to whonrl signed mysolf "yours nllectionately," while her betrothed was Harry Somers, who had been a visitor to our honso from Ids childhood. Ero thoy drovonway that afternoon tho other girls had twitted us rather wycrely for not join ing them, nnd it eeeincJ a general opinion that Maud's headache was nothing more than a sham. But the gentlemen said but littlo; in my opinion their hearts would havo boon glndcncd had all tlio parly ab stained from attending picnic, their inclina tions tending toward tlio wheat slubblo In "Fivc-acio field" and tho adjacent turnip patch, whcro a fino covey had sought shel ter tho night before. But as tho girls wcro resolved to go) tho males of courso woro obliged to act as escorts. By-and-by papa was induced to join them, nnd thus it was that Maud ond I wero left alono. So engrossing was tho subject of our con versation that wo wcro surprised when tlio housemaid brought ill tho tea nnd,dropping a courtscy, asked if Sar.ili, tho cook, might go down witli her to the village, until ten o'clock to join tho festivities with which Farmer Ashcombo was colebrating his har vest home. It then occurred to my memory that tho servants had asked mo for this holi day a fortnight previously, and that I had given a halt acquiescent response. In tlio hurry of my domestic duties, ond tho ex citement occasioned by a houso full of com pany I had, however, forgot tho circum stancouulil now. "flhcro is Ben ?" I inquired, referring to ono of tho carters who inhabited a snug lit tlo cottago on tlio farm,md was consequent ly required to placo himself at our scrvico when required. Tbo domestic dropped another' courtesy, nnd announced that that individual had gono to Well Willi a load of barley, and would not bo homo until lato. "And tho boy Bmilli?" "I'leasc, m, master told him ho might go whou ho 'ad led tho )oultry and fastened them up for tho night, and ho lias been gono this quarter of an hour." "I hopo ho mado suro tho turkoys and gooso wero all right, for papa saw a fox cross tho moodow this morning. "Oh, ye, 'in, ho is a careful lad is Smith, and bo's got '0111 all right 'enow, I'll bo bound," rwponded tho maid. I hesitated a moment as to whether is was altogether sofa to be thus left alono ; but as I had given a half promiso to tlio girls, and I knew it would bo a 6ad disappointment to them not to go, I dismissed my apprehen sions, and told them they might leavo tho tea things and be olf. Noticing that after a whilarMaud became lees conversational, I inquired tho reason 1 but receiving nought but evasivo answers, I questioned moro closely. "You aro not afraid, aro you, dear 7'' "I Bhall only be confessing tho truth when I tell you that I was very sorry to hear you give your consent to tlio servanU leaving Suppose nny person lias been watching tho house, and was to seiso tho opportunity of committing a robbery?" "My dear Maud," 1 responded, "nothing of the sort over happens in thaw, rU. Liv ing as we do, some distance from any town, we know all the parsons resident within a radius of, say, four in lies." "But how about tramps T Aro they not dreadful pnd7" "Perhaps, Miuid, oven thoy are moro sin. not agalut than finning. At all ovwts tramps seldom, if ovw, come near us. You se w ir off the mai rami.

"But,'' pun-ued Maud, "that fact would I li.r Wi.j 1 i ,t . t. ,a' I "Ilcally," I replied, "I shall bo quito an gry with you If you pursuo Uio subject fur ther. To put an end, however, to all your fears you shall como with mo, and wo will bolt tho outer door." Tho alacrity with which Maud roso from her chair was a good proof that tho proposed measure was of a wolcomo nature, so, pro ceeding from tho drawing room, wo walked to tho lawn, and, fastening tho gato which opened on lliolano,woro-cntcrcdtho houso. Wo then locked, bolted and barred tho back premises, saw that all tho windows woro fastened, and then eamo back to tho draw ing room. I must confess that when wo had secured all tho approaches to our citadel, I was my self a good deal moroatcasa than I had been previously. Slowly tho autumn sun sank beneath tho range of hills fronting our dwelling, ting ing tlio Eky with radiant hues that varied momentarily. I could havo sat for hours watching tho numerous hues that swept across tho heav ens, bnt wtth tho uprising moon and gath ering twilight I clearly saw that Maudo was onco moro becoming nervous. Won't you close tho shuttor?" inquired Maudo. "Not unless you particularly wish it dear," I replied. "But I do," Bho answered. I was about to shut out tho moonlight view, and mado a desperate effort to chnngo tho conversation, when Maudo, who had her eyes fixed on tho lawn, suddenly clutch ed my arm, and involuntarily retreated a step. "Sis," sho cried, "what is that mov ing in Jho laurels?" I looked ,nd in a moment observed emerg ing from tho shelter of tho laurals, but still remaining bencatli tbo dense shadow of tho overhanging tree, what seemed to bo tbo fig ure of a man. Ho looked, in height very short, almost dwarf-like, but was stout of frame, and appeared dressed in whilo, or without a coat j and seemed to bo in his shirtsleeves; his arms being alono scon as ho raised them in freeing himself from tho bushes. "Oh, Sis," exclaimed Maude, "it is n man Let U3 givo him nil our jowelry, or mayhap wo may bo murdered era any of our people may como hack." "Maude," I cried, "for heaven's sake en deavor to retain your senses. You yester day remarked that tho double-barreled gun hangs over tho mantlcpicco in tlio kitchen, and asked mo if it wcro loaded 1 Do you think that you could fetch it to mo while I keep watch hero?" I know her fright prevented herspcaking. Clasping her hand tightly within my own, and then releasing it, I said : Bring It to mo then ; tho gun is perfect ly safe so long as you do not touch tho trig ger." Whilo Maudo was gono. it seemed to mo as though tho figuro drew closer; it was careful to remain within tho shadow of tho tree, but it struck mo. is exceedingly straugo, that, although tho white sleeved arms seemed continually raised, ns though their owner had just aroused from a sound sleep, I could not sco tho creatures head. In a ycry short timo I heard Maude's ap proaching footsteps. As sho placed tho gun into my hand I felt that bo: fingers wero cold and trembling. At that moment tho mysterious boing eamo a few paces nearer, and seemed to havo a limping gait,whcthcr from natural infirm ity or drunkenness I could not tell. Throwing open tlio window, and raising tho gun, I cried at tho top of my voice, "Who's thcro ? Answer or I'll fire." few seconds elapsed but no response eamo to my inquiry. "Who aro you?" I again shouted. My linger closed ujioii tho trigger, tlion eamo a Hash and a loud report tho intrud er upon tho lawn staggered and fell. Simultaneously poor Maudo sank fainting on tho floor. Not daring to movo from tho room, I rest ed tbo guu ugainst tho table, and raising Maude's head in my hands endeavored to restore her to consciousness. What Bcemsd to mo hours, but it could not havo been moro than twenty minutes, passed and then eamo tho sotind of vehicles driven rapidly up tho lane. I heard my father clamoring for ad mittance, and hurrying to tho door, fell al most swooning into his arms.

Next morning at eight o'clock, when the citizen got off tho car, tho old chap was waiting for him on tho corner, nnd halting him against a stono wall said : "I called upon you yesterday to explain that I meant 'parllcipalo' instead ofpalli ato." "Yes, you did " "I now desiro to inform you that I didn't mean cither ono. I mean 'prcticipato, havo Used tho word a thousand times, nnd I don't sco how I misspoko myself ns I did."

As they walked about listlessly, nnd apparently annoyed, they listened willingly to a suggestion from an individual who owned a monto bank, that just to pass away tho timo they should buck at mouto. Tho dealer foundj a tablo handy and opened tho bank. In a short timo tho most of the company wcro engaged in a gamo.
