"Auntie, tell ine a story ," I said, ns i nat wun my maiden relative in ( huge tnpentrieil appartmcnt in a ram blicg old-fashioned bouse in tho conn try. "What kind of a atory do you want, Harry?"' she asked, "grave or pay, ture or nntiue, pleasant or sad? For my Die has been lone and my etper leoccs many," she added, as aha gaged dreamily and thoughtfully into the lire that blazed on the hearth before us. "Oh, something harrowing and thrilling, fearful and shocking, aud above all, true there's a dear aunt I" I xcla'uned as I drew, near her side and gazed sbudderingly around tho lrg gloomy room. A little pause ensued, whilo aunty gazed meditatively into the fire, and I watched her face in eager hope of the exciting tale that was coming. I was about sixteen (Aunt Betsy be gan at last) when I was invited to go and stay with some relatives in Sussex, whom I had never seen. My life in this old house whore I was born and have lived all my days was some what monotonous. I was a lively girl then and, with delight at tho prospect of a chnngo of scene, I looked anx iously for my parents' permission to accept the invitation. After some de liberation the desired permission was given ; so, early one moruing, accom panied by my "father, I set put in high spirits for my destination, arriving there in the pleasant twilicht of an autumn ereniug. Our friends gave us a cordial reoeption, 'Squi;e and Mrs. Oldham were staid, good-tempered, rather elderly nnonla. and thu; daughters girls of eighteeu or twen tyas merry and ai wild as I could desire. Their names were Mildred and Janet. The house, standing on its i own giounds, aud surrounded by lolly trees, was old and spacious with mauy long corridors and papsages.and pieoty oi rooms or all sizes and de scriptions, i can recall so well the great entrance hall. It was of im mense size and elontny. and from if ascended a wide staircase which led t n -,n u 1 -w-. u bu vwou aaiicrv auore. linrino. ut moi wiiu my cusbcx Iiienrlri Mr and Mrs. Oldham 'went to snend a fi days at a eeutlenian 'e ho n np. a fiv miles diitaut from their own, aud it was while they were abseut that the alarming occurrence I am ab-iut to m. late to you took place. The hnn. bold consisted of the butler and four maid servants. The coachman, who lived in a cottace on the o-rnunrlfl about a quarter of a mile distant, was now absent with his master and mis tress. Tha duller stately, middle-aged man, given some what to patronizing, though always respectful in his manners to us young people. He evidently considered the safety of the houseas his peculiar charge, and was very particular in the extinguishing of fires, and lo looking after the fastening of doors and win dows. We had heard of one or two robberies being committed in the neighborhood; but we did not feel nervous, aud my cousin placed great dependence on a' huge black dog uicu niways slept at night in the hall. One evening I bolieve it was the third after Mr. and Mrs. Oldham departed my cousins and I were sit ting chatting merrily around the fire in a large room which opened from the hall. I think it was about seven o'clock, when there came a pull at the front door bell, and, after a short delay, the butler answered it. Pres ently hearing a somewhat prolonged parley outside, we opened our room 'iAmvLAmi is lower end of the hall, while on the floir at their feet lay a large, long package. Opposite to them stood the butler and one of the maid servants, and a stormy discussion seemed to he going on between them. Mildred, my elder cousin, after a few moments' pause, walked forward and requested an explanation. One of them, rather a respectable luokitig individual, I thought, advanced toward her, and muking a low bow, began to speak: "Madame," said he, "we have brought this bale of goods to your house my mistake; we were to take it to Mrs. Needham's," mentioning a house about five mile distant, "but have carried it here instead. We are much exhausted, for we have walked far; the night is tempestuous, and we feel that we can take it no farther. Will you kindly allow us to leave it here till morning?" Mildred looked at the but'er inquir ingly before 6he answered. The old servant shook his head with a doubt ful and suspicious air, whereupon the man jlio had just spoken observed hastily : "We do not ask for a lodging for oursulves, madams, we shall make bur way to tho nearest puhlio hovse. It is only the pack we wish to leave. It is very heavy and we will call for it in good timo to-morrow. We throw ourselves upon your compassion." "Let tho poor men leave thoir large package, Mildred," said Janet, my younger cousin, "and have it put in tho ante-room until to-morrow." Mildred consented, and in disregard of the frown and ominous looks of tfm butler, ordered the pack to bo carried to a little room near the eutrance. This was done, and glad and thankful I was to see the door bolted and bar red behind the formidable strangers. It seemed to me a danseroua risk in our thinly peopled houeehohf, to admit two strangers nt that timo of the eve. ntng. I had noticed, too, that they giancea nrouna tho hall in a surrepti nous manner, and especially at the aog, wnicn stood with us in the hall uuu at iirei Dcgnn io bark, but had ueeu quickly silenced by a low com mana irora Mildred. I saw that the maid servant, who still stood by. r. .1 r .11 ,. - . cumuli m j uucouuoriaoie teoiings, and sno Bfsisieu, very readily, alter the de parture oi the men, in barring tho door and seeing to the safety of the window fastenings. Later in the eve ning I met her on tLe stairs and she stopped me. "I don't like the lonlta of H,t die nt all, Miss," she said ; "it looks to ma aiive, and twice I have fancied I saw it move once when lying on the hall floor, and again now, for I nave been in to look at it." T I , . i smiiea. and tellinc Snrah 'n, to ue whimsical,' passed on, and re joining my cousins, I told thera what fcarah had said to me, aud uronosed 6" "" laao a jooh at the myster ious package. Taking a lumri with us, we proceeded to tha little apart ment where it was placed. It lay on . nuuucu oenee. WHICH eloo:I on one side of the room. It ,as enveloped in a brown wrapper, was very long, and thicker at the middle than at the two extremities. Somehow I did not like the looks of it; but my fears were of Rucb a Tague nature that I did not like to expresa them. As we crossed the hall on our return to the sitting-room we encountered Sarah, who was hovering about with very uneasy and mysterious expression on her face. "What is the matter, Sarah?" ask ed Mildred. "Oh, Miss, I am so frighteiied about that pack. I cannot rest, and I a.n sure that I cannot go to bod while it is in the bouse." "You are very ridiculous, Sarah," remarked Janet. "I am sure the men were very respectable-looking individ uals, only two shopmen. We have just been looking at the pack, and it uia not move, though 1 gave it a good squeeze I am sure th-re is nothing in it to alarm you." Sarah looked very pale, and shook her head warninjly, Ten o'clock came.nnd my cousins and I wore think ing of betaking ourselves to our sleep ing appartmenta, when we heard a door in the hall violently shut and locked. Immediately after Sarah rushed in on us, on the nearest chair in violent hysterics. She was speedily followed by the butler looking as pom pous and still as ever, but with a cer tain expression of unquiet on bis fat. grave face. "What is the matter. Jones?" asked Mildred, slarting to her feet, "tell us quickly. Do try to bo quiet, Sarah." "Vh that pack is ahvo? shrieked Miss Sarah. . "Hush Sarah." said M'ldred. calm- ly; "let Jones tell us. I heard you lock the door. It wa. tkat of 'the ante-room in which this unfortunate pack is placed, I suppose?" "It was. Miss." renlied Jones. p.n,. -vcuiiwuai ; uuu' luu is iu mo nun. ho added. "So fur so good," said Mildred, com posedly. "And how, pray, do you know that the pack is alive?" "You see, miss," replied Jones, "ev er since that pack has been left Surah has been in a distractej state of mind frightened out of her senses, in fact." "I saw the thing move when it was laid in that hall," sobbed Sarah. "Go on, Jones, interposed Janet. Jones continued : "So before we went to bed Miss Sarah persuaded me so co.ne aud take another look at the package. You know I did not approve of its being left miss," he added. "Nevermind that," said Mildred; "tell us what you have seen." "Well, miss, I thought it great non sense, but I went. We took hold of the bundle and turned it about a lit tle, but could make nothing of it. Presently Sarah found a small hole in tho wrapper. She pulled the rent rather more, open and looked in. I saw her face change. She turned and iiew ine out of the room, pulkd the door to and locked it. This is all I know at present, ladies," and here Jones bowed politely. Sarah had be come quieter, so Mildred inquired: "What did you see, Sarah?" $2 PEK ANNUM. tho girl shivered and coverod her mco wun her bandd. "Come, Sarah, speak," said Mildred oecoruing a little pale. "Yes, tell us, and instantly I" criod J (l U C b Sarah took her Land from ber and looked tin, face "li i .i..ii.c, miss, sue said in horror-stricken tonus, "such an awful looking eye, aud it glared at me!" she milieu nn a repressed shriek ve looked at each other consternation. in mute c "V,3, a liv!n2 one.

"Still, Mildred," I ventured to nav, barah nTay be right, and it would be well to do something at once; This may be a plun to rob the house when we are all in bed." "Aud murder us all," shrieked Har riet. Janet began te cry; and meanwhile the butler had left the room. "Where is Jones?" inquired Mil dred, suddenly observing his absence. I'Lct tis go and find him, and see what is to bo done." She passed into the hall, and wefol- ioweo.

There was a deep silenco among us for a momont or two, interrupted on ly by the low growling of -the dog, who became manifestly more and more uneasy, and was with great difficulty restrained from rushing into the room. Then there came a scene of noise aud confusion. Jones reached the pack, and throwing the rope over his arm, and still clutching the dagger, stooped to iuspect the slit in the (trapper where Sarah had asserted she had seen an eye. At that moment one of the most fsarful and terrible yells I ever heard broke from between t tie folds of the wrapper. Tho pact ..irnffleJ . violently, uuu rolled over and fell heavily to the ground, while a choked voice begged fur mercy ; at this same time a knife was seen endeavor'tnp . upriiiug. - nm oi.i cams or the servants, the hysterical sobs of Janet, the loud howling and whinnings of the dpg, who was still restrained by Mildred from rushing frantically into the room, made a din that I never cau forget. I remember that Jones alone looked very composed and uumoved throughout. Before the man in the pack had timo to free himself from the wrapper, Jones had mannped, despite his oppeneut's struggles, to pais tho ropes several times round him, and to secure them. By the time he had accomplished this, we had all be come pretty quiet. Tho dog was si lenced and niaile to lie down in the hall, while Mildred and I and two of the servants, the terrified Sarah uot being one, went into the room. The pack presented a very ludicrous appearance. The wrapper had been slit open from the centre upwurd and displayed the figure of a man appar ently about thirty years of age, lying in it, the ropes wound about him. i Io had a long, pale faco, a drown, grizzly beard, and eyes that glanced doubt fully from Jones and hi dagger, who knelt beside him, to us, as we ap proached him. lie was perfectly mute and refused to answer any ques tions.

About midnight Jones opened tho shutters of a casement window in the hall, and blew loud whistle; the whistle was responded to by another, and two men presently appeared at the opon casement. Jones drew back into the darkness of the hall and si lently allowed them to enter. The moment their feet touched tha ball floor they were secured. "And where were you, aunty ?" I said, "during thia scone ?" "We stood in the gallery above. The boy who had received hia in struotions, soon brought forward a lantern, and we also had lights at hand in the gallery." "Were the men tried, aunty, and what was their punishment?" "Yes, they were conveyed to the county prison, and on thoir convic tion were sentenced to transportation.
