A WOMAN'S STORY.
11Y EUEN K. ItCXFOItD.
I've often read ami heard about liow per
sons feel when death "stares them In tho
face," as tliey say in stories. I used to
wonder what kind of a sensation It was
Now I know.
You tee, John John's my lnisband-
was foreman of the iilht hands In the fac
tory lor a ion- lime. He wunt to Ills work
at six at night, and came, home at five o'
clock in the iiiotnlris. Sol liaJ to stay
alone all night, or the. same as alone, anv-
way, inougli the chllil there was company
lor me, out tor all the help she .1 be In any
trouble that might happen, I nilqht as well
have been eutlicly alone, you see.
I ncrcr was afraid of burglars, because
we hadn't anything they'd think It worth
their while to come after. And then wo
didn't hear much about them In those days
though they've got to be plenty enough
since. If I'd heard as much aliimt ibnm
then as I do now, I presume I would have
felt timid. Rut, as It was. I fell as safe as
you please, and when John used to coax
me to let iilm get a bor, or a big dog, to
stay with me, I alwaj-s told him I didn't
want to be bothered with them.
One day a friend of John's, who had
been working In the factory a long time.
and saved up quite a little suai from his
wa-es, cut tired of that kind of life, und
sahl he was going to iptit It, and find lilm
a little farm somewhere, and settle down.
I knw what that meant. IleM laheil -a
fancy to a girl that worked In the factory.
and he wanted to make a home somewhere
for himself and a wife.
lie and John had always been the hestof
friends, so it was quite natural he should
bring his money here, and ask John to
keep it for him till he wanted to use It.
He didn't want to carry it with him. he
said, while he was looking up the little
farm he had set his mind on biiyina. John
told him he had better put It lu the hank,
whero it would be safer, and growing a lit
tle, but he said ho d feel jilst as safe about
It if he left It with Us as he would If he put
It In the bauk.and he didn't think it would
have a chance to Increase milch before he
got around to use It, because he calculated
to buy his farm as soon as lie found thcone
that suited him,
Sci he left It. There was a trifle over a
thousand dollars, he told John, and I
thought by the way he looked at It when
he gave It tu my husband, that he fell all
Ids chance for flie future was wrapped up
In the bills. They represented the bom
he hail set his heart on having, joti see,
and I couldn't help thinking what If he
should lose It? ;

Live and Let Live."
Penna., December 25, 1886.
John put It there. lie had been prowling
about the house, I suppose, and happened
to look In at just the right time. Any way
that's what I always shall believe about It,
for how else, I'd like. t know, should he
have known anything about It? But there.
I'm telling yon my opinion, and what you
want to near, l suppose, is what happened,
One stormy night, about a week after
that, John went off to his work as usual.
1 felt kind of nervous some way, though I
couldn't tell why I felt so. I've wondered
a good many times since then, If I didn't
havo a sort of presentiment of what was
going lo hapuen. Hut I made up my mind
that It was the storm and the wirdthal
kept howling round the house that u.ado
me feel so, and I didn't say n wonl to John
about It.
i lie child, there, was about two years
old then. I told her stories for an hour or
two, and then when she begun to feel
sleepy, I sung to hnr,and it wasn't long he
lore she was tucked up In bed, fast asleep.
Then I got my knitting and sat down by
the firs, and worked until the clock struck
nine. By (hat time I was sleepy and con
cluded I d go to bed, too.
I must hae slept about three hours, for
when I woka up tho big clock on the city
nan was sinning midnight.
. As I lay there, listening to the clock, I
heard a step In the hall. The first thought
that came to me was that something had
happened at the factory and that John had
come home. But as the stena nm.!..,,
the door I knew they wer not John's. I
was wide awake In a minute, and the won
der Is that I didn't CCt un nt mine At
first I thought I would, and then I thought
perhaps It would be better to keen still and
sco what was going to happen. Getting
up nnd rushing out Into the other room
wouldn't help matters any, and It might
make them a good deal worse.
The stcuY came .to the kitchen door and
then paused. 'Then I heard the door open
sonly.nnd some one came Into the kitchen.
The door between the kitchen and bed
room was open a trifle, and as t looked out
I saw a man with a lantern In his hand.
He stood there listening.
You can well believe I was frightened.
I didn't date to stir or scream. I just lav
still and looked out of the least little bit of
a crack In my eyelids. I knew the man as
soon as I got a good look at his face. He
was a great, burly fellow, who had been
a hand in the factory some time back. I
had heard John say that lie had been dis
charged because the proprietors thought he
stole.
He stood thero less than a minute, I
suppose, but It seemed to me that it was
more than an hour. Then he came toward
the bed.room. He pushed the door open
softly anil looked In, holding up his Ian
tern that he might seejhrough the. open
mg. I shut my eyes light then. He stood
there and wtchcd me for a time, with the
light shining full In my face. It was terrl-
uiir, icmuie. i uiuu i tiare to move a
muscle. I was In acony for fear the baby
wouldfwnke up. I felt sure then, and I do
now, till he would have killed me If he had
thought 1 was awake. You can't have any
Idea what I suffered as I lay there. It
seemed to mo that lite jusl depended on
my keeping still, and to keep still under
such circumstances was a pretty hard thing
to do. I don't pretend to say that I'm
more courageous than lots of other women
but I don't believe you can find many who
would brave It out In that kind of danger
better than I did
By am) by he seemed satisfied that I was
asleep, and turned away from the bed-room
door, leaving It wide open. I saw lilm go
over to the old blue chest, and I knew thea
what he was after.
I breathed easier When his back was
turned. I didn't dare to stir, though, but
Just lay there with my eyes open anil
watched him. I saw lilm take a big btincli
of keys out of his pocket and try several
before he found one that fitted the lock of
the chest. Ptetty soon ho found one that
would open it. He turned the cover back
against tin wall, and went to rummaging
about In the till for the money that was
covered p with some old clotli and papers
II wasn't long before he fund It, and after
making sure It was what ho was after, he
put It In his pocket and shut up the chest.
You can't Imagine how I felt when I
knew that poor Ben Green was likely to
lose his money. Ho had worked so hard
for It, and depended so much on It to help
mm get a home, that losing It would be
like death to him. I wouldn't have felt so
bad If It had been our own, I'm sure.
When he had closed the chest he took
up his lantern and came hack to the bed
room door and looked at me aealn. to
make sure, I suppose, that I was asleep. I
shut my eyes again, and deceived him as I
had before. Then he went Into tho hall.
but Instead of going toward the frontdoor,
he went the other way, and I heard him
open the door into the cellarway. I.Ike a
Hash It came to nle that I could trap him
If I was quick enough. I never stopped lo
think about ' what . might happen all I
thought about was saving poor lien's mon-

.1 ., i
nine man uiaiicsio ten 11,1 sprang against
nun wiin every bit or the strength there
was In nic, and he went tumbling headloi-g
down the stairs. Then I swung the door i
shut, slipped the bolt Into Its placo, and he
was my prisoner. 1 knew he couldn't get ,
oiu 01 inu cenar unless lie camo through
the door, for It was walled up witlt stone,
and I felt pretty sure of that door, for If
you'll look at It, you'll see that It's thick
and heavy.
Dear me! How the man did rayo and
swear. It made my blood run cold lo hear
lilm. But I didn't stop lo listen long. I
slipped on my dress( took the baby arid
wrapped her up In a shawl, and started for
the nearest neighbor's for help. I got a boy
to go to the factory foi John, and the
neighbor and I went back to the house.
The uian was trying to beat the door down
lh something he had found In the ccllaij
when we got there. The neighbor had a
pistol, and he was all ready to fire at the
nan the minute he made a hole through
the door. But before he succeeded III do
ing tlut, John came, with two or three
others, and they captured him without!

morning was to take It to the bank

night for any thine. And that very day
John gave up his night job, and I haven't
been alone a since.
I didn't know how frightened I really
was until it was all oyer. Bot after they
nail the man, and I knew the muney was
safe, I seemed to give out some way, all
at once, and I had to go to bed; and It was
two or Ihtve days before I began to feel
like myself. I tell you what It is, 1 don't
want another such adventure. One's
enough for me.

"No, I'm not, and I'll"

A FATHER REBUKED.
Col. McLeod. although not a had tnan at
heart, uses very rough language In his In
tercourse with Ills family. On returning to
his home from his place of business, a few-
days ago, he found his wife very much ex
cited oyer tho outrageous conduct of a
tramp, who, being dissatisfied with tho
food given him by Mrs. McLcod.had abused
her in a most outrageuus manner.
"Johnny," said Col. McLeoil) to his ten
year-old son; "when you heard that cow
ardly scoundrel abusing your mother, why
didn't you run to tho store oulck. and let
me knowl IJIdh't you hear?"
"les, pa, I was out In the stable and
heard what he said about the victuals ma
av him, and how he abused her, but"
"But what?"
"I thought It was you scolding ma. He
used the same cuss words as you do when
Ilie.illniRT don't suit you, sol thought It
couldn't be anybody else hut you. I didn't
think anybody else would dare talk to ma
that way."
Johnny unconsciously administered a se
vere rebuko to his Iraclble pa, who never
again spbkcto his beloved wife as it he were
a tramp.

. "It Saved My Life'''
Is a common expression, often hcarS
from thoso who have realized, hy per
sonal use, tho curatlvo powers of Ayer'a
Cherry Pectoral. M I cannot Say enough
In praiso of Aycr's Cherry Pectoral, be'
Ueving as I do that, but for Its use, I
should long slnco have died from lung
troubles. E. Bragdon, Falestlno, Tx.
About six mouths ago I had a severo
nemorrhago of tho Lungs, brought on
by a distressing Cough, which deprived
moot sleep and rest. I had used vat!
ous cough balsams and expectorants,
without obtaining relief. A friend ooV.
Vised mo to try
. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.
I did so, nnd nra happy to say that ft
helped mo at onco. By continued us6
tins medicine cured my cough, nnd. r
nui satisfied, saved my life. Mrs. B.
Coburn, 13 Second St., Lowell, Mass.
, I havo Used Ayer's Cherry Poctora
for oyer a year, and sincerely believe r
should have been in my grnvc, had It
not been for this medicine. It has cured
tno nf a dangerous affection of the lungi.
for which I had almost despaired ofovilr
finding a lemei'.y. D. A. McMullcm

Aycr's Cherry Pectoral saved my Ufa.
Two years ngo I took a very sovoro Cola
