Still•holding her by the wrist, but in other respects acting with perfect po liteness towards her, one of the masked men conducted Martha down the wide old staircase till they reached the ground floor of the bank, the second man following closely behind.- As they went down the lowest flight of stairs, Martha was startled to see a third masked figure—a woman,' this time, and clothed in a 'gray mantle from head to foot—who lighted their downward prOgress with a slender ray from the lantern in her hand They halted for a moment at the foot of the stairs. " Is it not possible," said the leader to Martha, " that the pass key of one or both the brothers Wangsliaw may be locked tip in the desk of their pri vate office ?" " It is possible, but not very likely," hnswered-Martha:- Still we may as well ascertain whether such is the case or not." c I callea—commanlatattauk. pointed out the key. which opefied the door of the 'private office, and then the desk at which the brothers generally sat, ono-facing the other. - A small jet of gas, commonly made use of for melting sealing-wax, was. now lighted,=a greater light might have betrayed them to some passer-by in the street,—a bag containing a num ber of housebreaking implements, swathed in flannel, NVits next produced, and' after five minutes' careful exami nation by the second man of the twe , implements selected by him from the I rest, the desk of both the brothers' were forced open and their contents laid bare. There was no keyin"either• of them. A very brief examination sufficed to convince the leader of that fact. With n muttered oath he turned away. "Five minutes' honest labor lost,"' he said. "We must now, try the gen tle persuasive power of our flannel cloth friends here have never yet known them to fail." —.Then,_atilL holding Maitha—by—the wrist, he led the Ido' out of the office and along the corridor that led to the heavy oaken, door, thickly studded with iron bolts, which opened on the flight ,of stairs by which access was had to the cellar. As before, he tre quested Martha to point out the proper key ; and,-as before, Militha,com plied. Further than this the keys would not aid them. , The deer yielded readily, falling back of its own accord as the bolts were withdrawn, and revealing a gloomy flight of stone stairs, ending in on iron door. • Motionlifehis second to keep a watchful eye on Martha, the leader took the lantern ,and descended the steps. He reappeared in a couple of minute's, and led the way back to the private office without a word. Once there, lie turned and spoke to Martha. " I must compliment you on your sensible conduct in this affair," he said. •` - Now, however, you must be left' to your own reflections for a while. Ex cuse me if, before I go, I put it out of your p6wee to frustrate my designs, and make a prisoner of you for the next few hours. What has to be done shall be done with as much regard for your own comfort a's is possible under the circumstances. ehereomie, the cord." The last sentence was addressed to the masked swoman, who up to qs time had been a mere looker-on. Nonc however, she started into sudden ac tivity. In obedience to a sign from the leader, she placed Martha. with her back to a large iron pillar which sup ported the roof of the 'office From some hidden pocket, she next produc ed a coil of long, thin cord, and with it proceeded to tie Martha firmly to the pillar. ", Her arms were left at liberty till the last. When all else was done, they were fastened together at the wrists - With a hand of strong woven stuff,- which held them as firmly us if 'they had been bdund with iron. " To have fastened your, arms down to' your sides fora couple of hours would have been a refinement of cruelty of which, in• your ease, I have no wish to he guilty," said this Grandison of house-breakers. " One Hide point still remains. You must give me your word that you will not cry out or call in any way for assistance; otherwise: I shall be under the unpleasant necessity of having you gagged.

Is your tongue to be made prisoner or not 1" $. - " I give you my word not,to cry out or create any alarm by calling for help," said Martha, after a few mo- Monts' silent thought. "That is enough: I trust you." • As before stated, the room in which' .the girl was' confined was the private office of the Wangshaw Brothers. it was a comfortable room. The floor was covered.. with a faded Turkey carpel, and the' old fashioned inaliogyy fit tingS were-almost black with age. The only light at present was that given by the small gas jetibefore mentioned. It was just sufficient to . enable . Martha to make out the familiar features of the, room.: • She begaulto breathe, more free ly as eaon as:she was left,alone: The first shock to her nerves was ii severe one ; but when she saw that no real harm was intended her skieng as she' obeyed the - orders of. her captors,, 'her composure had quickly. returned ; and now, a warm flush. of hop, ran through her at the thenglit that there was just a faint' possibility Of, escape: But she quickly found, when she tried to freer herself from 'her bonds; that she tod..undeirated the' skill of the woman 'who. had' tied her to the pillar.'

These doors Martha ,had always been taught to look upon as impregnable; and she smiled to her self to think how utterly futile the ef forts of the two Masked men would be. She know nothing of those modern improvements in trMscience of house• breaking, which• Would seem to make light of the strongest safes that can be constructed. • When Martha had fully made up her mind that it was impossible for her to escape,, she set about in calculating how long her imprisonment was to last. It 'Was now about half past 1 A. M.; and at 10 Will Tarfford would be here to-spend his Christmas day at the bank. If not set at liberty before that time— and she' could hardly hope to be:so, seeing that the burglars would require some time to get clear away after leav ing the bank—she might calculate on being released on the arrival of her sweetheart: He would naturally be surprised on.finding his summons un answered, an alarm would be raised, and finally she, Martha, would be dis covered and Set at liberty.. But eight hours and a halrof imprisonment-Land such imprisonment!—was a long and dreadful time to look forward to. thought was still in her head when the masked woman cams gliding noiselessly into the office, with the in tention of seeing that her prisoner was e e iead'ustment of a knot or two satisfied her. " You have been trying to escape, and you have found that you•cannot," she said as.she turned to go. " Take my advice, and rest quietly. At such it time as this we do not stick at tellies." " What can the woman be 1" asked Martha of herself. "Wilat a strange thing for a female to be mixed up with such an affair !" More dreary minutes passed ; how many she,could not have toll. She was dreadfully cramped, and the cord by which she was fastened seemed bit ing into her very flesh. All ordinary thoughts were - being gradually swal lowed up in a pain that,. with every minute, was becoming more unbeara ble. It was all she could (In to refrain from crying aloud.

Suddenly, when Iler torture ;vas the sharpest, there Hashed into her brain a thought so startling, so unexpected, that for a moment. every pain was dead cued in the rush. of utter surprise with w iktli it overwhelmed her. There had been revealed to her at one glance a sure and speedy mode of escape. She stood fin• a few moments Almost breath less, trying to steady, her brain. Yes ; there it was before her very eyes, a sure and speedy mode of escape, but a pain- ful one, indeed; but still one brat must be carried out at all costs to herself. She wain torture already, and that . other torture which she must-undergo fin• the . sake of liberty might be 'sharp er, perhaps, hilt it would soon be ()via.. But she would not give herself time to argue the point, lest her courage should fail her. She would put herself to the immediate proof. The pillar to which Martha was tied was within a yard of the desk that had been broken open. Close to the edge of this desk was the upright gas-pipe from which sprang the small jet, still alight, of which• mention has already been made. By stretching out her arms Martha could reach this jot She could do more than that—she could hold her wrists over it anti let the flame burn away, the band by which they were fastened together; and her hands once at liberty, the rest would follow. This was the method of escape that tad flashed across her brain. and she low proceeded to put it into opera ion. She drew in her breath anti ocked her teeth, and pushed out he hands with a quick movement, and.so held them while the jet of flame played on her wrists and ou the band that, held them together. She shut hor eyes involuntarily, and her eye brows Came together in a frown of agony. Thu tiny jet playe'd lightly upon ttte, band that beld'her, which presently' burst into a flame. Even then she did not falter. Her arms . , might have been made of steel so fixed and rigid were they, so sternly, was she bent on accomplishing the thing she had set herself to •do. In a few moments—moments that to lter seemed hours—the blazing - ligature gave way, curlingtitself - quickly back like a burn ing serpent, and her hands were free. Her hands were free, and they - fell helpless to her side. She gave utter ance td Clong Sigh—a sigh that was half a sob ; then-her chin 'dropped on her breast and tdr a little while she knew nothing. Martha's return to her senses was quickened by the pain from which she was still suffering.

A faint light, which shone, up the cellar stairs, and wits reflected on the opposite walla of the corridors betrayed where the' nefarious, work was still .going on. Totvards this Veit Martha now crept with stealthy swiftness. When she had reached the edge of it, she stood for,a , mornent and listened. Then keeping her body well out of sight she protruded her head within the line of light and *looked.• Her gaze went down the - stone stair case and into the cellar. The Iron door at the foot of the' stairs bad been forced open, and the thieves were noW.husy- withAbe_ueat safe itself. Various—house-breaking. instruments wore scattered about the floor. One of the men was busy with a crow bar, swathed in flannel, trying to force open one of the doors of the safe. The other, man was busy dril ling hales in another door with a strange looking implement, the like of which Martha bad never seen before. The woman was lighting these opera tions with a lamp held aloft in one of her hands. All three were standing with their backs to the stair case. Martha's eyes took in the picture at a •glance. There was one thing be sides which they took in, to wit : the bunch of keys with which she had stairs. The bunch of keys was 'now lying on the landing at the top of the stairs, close .to the iron door. 'Could she hot obtain • posSession of it, she saw not only a way of escape for her self,4mt. a way by which the thieves might be caught in their own trap. .But to obtain possession of the keys without disturbing the the thieves was thb, one dillicult thing to do. There was only one mode of oh: taining them and that was to fetch therm . But to do this - unseen and no- card, seemed_at. the first glance ut, terly impossible. 'At the second glance it seemed a little more feasi ble, but still a dangerous thing to, do. Nevertheless she made up her mind that it must lie attempted. For tunately the door at the Shot of the stairs - had not been pushed quite hack to the wall, in consequence of which its bulk intercepted part of the light held by the woman, so that that por tion of the lauding Which was be hind the door lay in deep shadow, and this shadow extended itself in a nar row strip from -the bottom of. the stairs to the toit. -- It was down this strip of darkness herself a moving shadow, that Martha began to glide on her dangerous errand. Fortunate ly her dies, was ,a dark one, and her -feet were unshod. H''r sole chance of safety lay in the fact of the three . people Wow stairs being so t( intently - o 6ipie - d . that theY would neither .see nor hear her ; and Mar tha judge that they were so oc cupied, bee use, -for- tbe last few 'minutes, c versation among_ theith selves ha almost entirely ceased. The' grand crisis of their labors was evidently at 'hand. With her back and hands pre - ssed to the wall so as to keep herself in as small a place as pos sible, and with the skirts of her dress kept close about her, Martha began to 'neve slowly down stairs. Her face was very white but filled with a fine resolution. From her present position the inmfltes of-the cellar were - not:visible to her, but both 'her-eyes were painfully on the alert, and they told her so far everything was safe. By an inch at a time, as it seemed, and so, slow that her advance was almost imperceptible, Martha kept decending steadily. In all there were 'fifteen gtairs to go down ; she had counted them many it time ; and as each one was now cleared and left behind, her heart gave a hide extra throb, and she felt that by so much was her task »earer completion and that by so much had her danger beco o c more imminent: ~,When a dozen stairs had ,been passed in safety, she paused a moment or tWO in her progress The beating of her heart 'sounded so un naturally loud and strange in her ears, that .the was afraid ttltoso in the cellar .woulli; hear it too: But, in a little while her heart grew stiller, her faint ing resolution revived, and she moved onward again.

The next difficult thing to do was to .pick up the keys, which were threaded on a .steel ling without being '.heard by the thieves She. Wdß on the point of stooping to make the attempt when the wonian inside:the cellar spoke.
