A,BANII PORTER'S DAUGHTER
She was kneeling withtheletter be

slowly dying et as, when a low sound
struck her ear, whin thrilled every
nerve in her body with a sudden ter
rur,
and paralyzed for a moment or two
every faculty save that of. listening.
The sound she bad heat d was the
crackling of a loose plank on the land
ing iinmediately below that on which
the batik porter's rooms were situated
It will a sienna that had. been familiar
to her ears for the last half dozen years.
'Her father had often talked about halt,
ing the plank properly fastened, but it
bad never been done. On one paint
Martha was as positive as she was - of
her own existence, that the plank never
craekod except when some one walked
across it. Whose feint was it that .

,just now ? -That .wins the
ques.ion sho pnt to herself io breathkss

old house, and the time an hour after
midnight. She turned white and set
her than and oyes on the shut door, ex ;
peering momentarily to. see it opened
front without. • She was . listening as
she had never listened before for a re
petition of the sound that so startled
her. But all Was silent, with a silence
as of the grave. dSdie could hear the
straMing beat of her own heart_
Atthe end of a minute, that had
seemed as long as an ordinary hour,
she rose slowly, and as it were, me
chanically, to her feet On the table
was au unlighted candle and a hox of
matches. thestruck a Match-and
ed the candle. Then, with the candle
stick held aloft in her right hand, and
with the left pressed against her beat
ing heart, she slowly cro'ssed the floor.
She hesitated for a moment when she
reached the door, and the uplifted
candlestick trembled in her hand
Then, with a sudden burst of resolu
.tion, she turned the handle and flung
the door wide open, and saw before
her two masked figtirq, who, unheard
by her. had crept tip. We. . -carpeted stairs.
She had scarcely time to cry, " Who
are you ?" before they sprang at her.
Her light was dashed to the floor . ; their
arms were wound around her and held
her like a vise; and a stern voice whis
pered in her ear—
" Make the slightefit noise and you
are a dead . wortfanl' . Do as ybu. are
told and-no harm shall befall you "
"-As if to add emphasis to these words,
Martha, With a shudder, felt the cold
barrel. of a pistol pressed against her
forehead.
" Only release we and tell me what
it is you want me to do !"
Her voice sounded strange in her
own ears.
" Let go of her and strike a light,"
said one to the other.
The second One did as'he was
.told ;
and the one who deemed to be the lead

Martha, and to hold her merely by a
firm grip of the waist.

click of his pistol finished the sentence
more forcibly than any , words could
have done.

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."

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. If, you give your
word, I have sufficient confidence in
you to believe you williteepsit How
say you? 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

could touch a •single sovereign they
must force open two iron doors of-im
mense strength. 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. She - bit her lip in
agony, and moaned' below her - brPath,
but there was none to hear her.
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. After

and their task was As yet Amacc"Ont
plished.. Stop by step, and silent as a•
shadow, she crept " - ant *of the office,
and so along the passage • leading 'to
the cellar. 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. Thirteen. Fourteen.
Fifteen.
The first i'mt of her tusk wits over.
She stood at the foot of the stairs, the
iron door close behind'her, the bunch
of keys within a Italtynrd of her feet.
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.
"Yon must do' without me a militia:
yr two kred," she said, ''while I go
and look after my prisoner," She ;let
down her lamp, and got so far up stairs'
that by putting her.,, hand out, Martha
eciuld have touched her dress, "when )
the harsh voice of the Man recalled

"Your prisoner is quite safe," lie
said, "and I. .oannot spare you just
now. Youlnust hold the light for a

against the oaken door, which yielding
to her strength, turned on the well
oiled hinges, and then with a little
triumphant click as the spring bolt
shot home, shut up as in a trlm, the
three thieves below. Without the key

The door had scarcely been shut a
second, as it seemed, before the two
men'inside began tearing and beating
at it like madmen, trying to escape.
Their language made Martha shudder
and stuff her fingers into her ears.
Now, - that the - door was shut, she
was 'Completely in the dark ; and so,
with her lingers still in her ears she
ran alone the corridor, and back into
the private office, where the smallgas

minute or two like one bewildered.
staring helplessly, about her not know

on odd, numb sensation in her left
shoulder. She put her lined up to it.
and withdrew it marked with blood.

The Gazette tells this story of an actor
well known to old the.tre goers:
Andrew duckson,Allen was engaged at
the Bowery as costumer as well as actor.
Allen was very deaf, and like most per
sons that are hard of hearing, talked Orel
his nose; fur which 'reason strangely e
nough, be was christened in his profession
Dummy Allen." "The great Ameri
can costumer" was troubled with another
slight weakness; he had a very bad memo

the first night, Allen was walking irn the
pit lobby, and was met .by a gentleman
with 'whom he run up a long account
while at the Lion Theatre, and which, to
his hurry to get' to New York, he had for
gotten to pay. After the usual salutations.
