The Mishaps ol a Night.
The district school iu tho villarro
of Hollythorn was taught by Miss
I'.va Stanley, who -'boarded around
among the scholars, and was con
sidered the paragon of teachers.
lha last week previous to thoholi
lay vacation she had been boarding
with a Mis. Carpenter, who was
making gigantic prepmntions for
UfHts she expected from New York.
"You never met inv brother.

they call it 1 Hut, dear me, I don't

like a lot of boys let out. of Hcluiol.
"The last, time they vi-ited mo to
gether. John and Sim actually cut a
pane of ejus from tho window, and
pelted Goorgo from by best room
with snow.
"You see, thore is always a regular
strifo for that particular room, for
the bed is a spring ouo, and they
say they don't sleep on any otlier in
the city. But '.hoy don't get it thin
time, that's certain, for I intend to
givo you that room; and so cud the
controversy. "
"I had just as soon oecunv soma
other room, Mrs. Carpenter, and do
not wish to iuoommodo your bro

the morrow the brothers, young,
anion t, and full of life, wero to bo
thore. Hut without sending any
word of their intention, they had
concludod to tako the train which
would laud them in Hollythorn about
bedtime. Gorgoand John did so.
and whon seatod in the cars begau
to spoculate upon the ubsenco of
Sam.
"No reason in tbo world why lie
should not Lave been hero," said
George. "I can't muko it out, un
less lie has taken the five o'clook
train by mistake."
"ot a bit of it, Inui'lio I John,
who fancied bo understood tho en
tiro programmo. "It is most likely
lie took that on purposo to got into
Hannahs parlor bourootu, and make
ns take up with straw ticks and fea
thers.
"I didn't think of that, but I rock-
ou you aro right. We must contrive
to get bun out somehow.
1 ho brothers put their heads to
gether and laughed merrily over
some scheme for outwitting Sam.
and accordingly, whon the train
reached Hollythorn, about eleven
o'clock, they approached the bouse
of their sister ia a very stealthy man
ner.
Climbing tho fonce In the rear, thoy
softly opened the window and ob
tained access to tho pantry, where
they demolished a wholo minco pie
and a quantity of doughnuts. Thou
with appetite appeased, they re
moved tboir boot and prepared to
investigate the "best room," atole
along tho ball, which was dimly
lighted by the moon, ascended the
stairs, and reached the door. The
faint ray of the moon disclosod a
chair piled np with clothing, and
they could distinctly trace the out-
lino of a form beneath the bed
clothes. A fow whispered words
wore exchanged, and then, aa lightly
a if shod with down, they drew near.
"Alt ready I whispered Ueorge.
