Well, i'm sure it isn't hard to tell; .It goes for rent and water rates, For bread and butter, coal and grates, Hats, caps and carpels, hoops and hoes And that's the way the money goes! How goes the money ? Nay, Don't everybody know the way It goes for bonnets, coats and capes, Silks, satins, muslins, velvets, crapes, Shawl:?, ribbons, furs and furbelows -And that's the way the money goes! flow goes the money 1 Sure I wish lite ways were somewhat fewer; It goes for wages, taxes, debts, It goes for presents, goes for bets, Por paints, I'omadu and E.vu-nn-ROsn, And that's the way the money goes ! How goes'lhe money ? Now, I've scarce begun to mention how ; It goes for laces, fealhers, rings, Toys, dolls, and olher baby's llijngs, "Whips, whihtlcs, candies, bells and bows And that's the way the money goes ! How goes the money ! Come, I know it didn't go for rum; It goes for schools and Sabbath chimes, It goes for charity sometimes, For missjijns, and such things as those And that's the way the money goes I How goes the money! There, I'm out of patience, I declare; It goes for plays, and diamond pins, For public alms and private sins, For hollow shams, and silly shows And that's the way ths money goes!

"Will you leave jour saddlo-bags?" said he, with a bland smile, as he extend ed hia monstrous hand to take them. "No, sir," I replied, whilo a heavy frown gathered on my brow. "I have a very safe place to keep them," he rejoined, while his blood shot eyes stabbed me to the heart. "No doubt," said I, with a meaning nod, "but I would prefer taking them with me." This conclusion was received rather coolly, and as I prepared to leave the room, one of the men espied the handle of my revolver protruding from beneath J my coat. "Hello, stranger!" he exclaimed, in a quick tone, "let's seo that ere pistol, will you!" So sudden had been the demand, and in such seeming curiosity that I put my hand back to give it to him. But a second thought decided me, and I replied that it was no great curiosity, and I would .-show it to him in the morning. By this time the" men had gathered a rouud me, and seeing things looked rath- ;er peculiar, I backed mjself through the 'door, followed by the host. When the door closed I could hear loud murmuring und an oath uttered in vehement tones. The laudlord hurried me up a feeble pair of stairs, and, a few yards from the laudiug, pushed open the door, and bade me enter. I glanced around the apart ment, and showed by my action, that I was dissatUGed with its appearance. "It is the best lean do for you, stran ger," said he, "and you needn't be afraid of them fellows down stairs, they won t hurt anybody. "I shall not bo alarmed," I replied, as he closed the door and deecended the .-teps. " I was somewhat aunoyed at the appearance of things, and determined to place myself in the best possible position of defeucc. I examined rny quarters closely, and found the door had no fast ening whatever, nor was there anything couveuient with which it could bo secured. Determined not to bo baffled, I tore a strip of board from the wall, and with knife cut out a lower cleto of the floor. Then with my pockot knife I bored holes . . c .. c Ir. ,.

'Tho devil!'' they both exclaimed, and looked at each other in surprise. "We must manage him somehow," said Hans, "for he has money. I am certain of that." "Hadn't wo better attend to that ero gal first!" suggested one. "Yes, the old man is fixed, now for the gal;" and picking up tho light they left the room. What girl! thought I. Is it possible some person as unfortunate as myself bad been compelled to stop here. I listened cagorly, and presently a crash came, followed by a shrill scream. I sprang toward my door, but rocol leptcd that I had it well secured. I hesi tated a moment, when another scream more terific than tho first, followed by the sharp report of a pistol. It was but tho work of a moment to unfasten the door and dash out. As I sprang into the pas sage, I met two men, who fired almost si multaneous, but without effect. 1 levol ed my revolver, and sent tho contents of one barrel through tho head one, who tumbled heavily down stairs dragging his companion with him. I rushed into the room, and found the girl sheltered behind a bed, keeping Hans at bay with a revolver. As I en tered, Hans sprang at me with a fiendish expression, and in spite of my efforts, seized me in his herculean clutches. My postol now was of no use, so hurling it from me, I drew my knife, and soon put an end to the struggle. I gathered up my pistol, and hurried the girl into my own room, and soon had tbe door secure ly barricaded. I then explained to her our situation, and how I came to discov- ' yond their reach. er she was to bo a victim.

The crirl gave a shrilling scream, 1 groan- jot? - ed and crept close to the door, which was riddled with bullets, and through the boles I could plainly discern their ac tions. I till had five shots in my revolver, and determined to use them to tho best advantage "He's done for now." Baid one, as ho stood eyeing the door. "But the gal," replied a little, short, thick set man, "she fights like thunder." "Hal you coward, who would fear a woman?" returned the first speaker with a sneer. "Jim Bates, I'll make you smell pow der for that aforo mornin', " Baid the lit tle man, savagely. "Wo must have this 'ere door open," and suiting tbo action to the words an as- t sault was made upon it. I levelled my pistol and fired, when with an oath tbo man fell back upon tho floor. I gave them two more shots, when they retreated precipitately down stairs. I reloaded my pistol and return ed to my companion, who was trying to staunch the blood which was flowing from a wound in her neck. "I fear sir, my life is short; and I sinoerely thank you for your kind protection," she feebly mur mured, and sank exhausted upon tho bcd. I was about to offer some assistance, when I again heard steps on the stairs, and earnest talking as of persons remon strating. Thinking tho attack at tho door would bo renewed, I drew the bed stead against it, and threw tho light bed ding over the head-board, and thus form ed a kind of breast work. "Say, Mister, don't shoot, for I want to speak u few words with you," said a voice at the head of the btairs. "I'll Bhoot the first man who comes near that door," I replied, savagely. "Ou, no. don't! I'm your friend," he replied, in a tono which carried treache ry with it. "Come to the door will you?" "Yes, but don't you come." "I won't. Are jou there!" "Yes." "Close?" "Yes." I felt a slight moving of the bed over the trap, during which time tbe man out side kept up an incessant jabber. One end of the bed was raising softly, and taking, hold of it with my left hand I gently cased it up, until I could discov er a head above the opening. "Are you at the door?" 'Yes." And simultaneously with lay answer went a leaden messenger through tbe head in the trap, and bans came a bullet through tho door. Tho sound of a heavy fall announced that my shot had taken effect. I searched for the revolver the girl had used, and fortunately found it, and was happy to discover that but one load had been shot out of it, which I replaced, and . stood a ragged little dried up man, of their worse than brute animal condition! being thus reinforced I felt-more confident perhaps fifty years of ago, with his hands As I said before, it is a picture of what of victory.
