My room was on the second floor, overlooking the road and thither | had taken my bird, where io my solitude | could quietly admire its beautiful proportions Extinguishing my lamp, | sat by the open window, contentedly smoking my pipe and enjoying the cool breezes that swept across the lawn laden with the rich odors of the flowers when my at- tention was attracted to some dark ob- jects that appeared to be approaching by the road that led past our house I listened intently, and above the whis pers of the summer breeze | thought | could detect the hum of whispered con- versation. It was ©o unustal occurrence for tramps to pass our piace at that Lour and the circumstance caused only a rip- ple of curiosity to arise iu my bosom until 1 heard a latch of our gate lifted, and distinctly the tread of many feet fell upon my ear.

Then my volce came back to me, and, thinking to make up for my youthful years in the volume of my voice, I yelled out, int hun dering toues “Hello! What are you doit E there?” The dark lantern was closed like a flash, but yet 1 could distinctly define the dim outline of the robbers as they stood like dark shadows In contrast with the white balcony beyond. For a mo- ment the stillness of denth ensued, when I received a reply, uttered In tones | shall never forget, and with an emphasis that clearly indicated a purpose to carry out what was threatened: “1 say. youngster, just you take in that head of yourn and keep that baby mouth closed or I'll blow the top of your bead off" The sharp click of a pistol followed, and you can rest assured that | needed no second warnicg.

The mes=age read as follows “Uncle Toby: The house has been en- tered by six masked burglars Come im mediately — Bob.’ Scarcely had, the bird started on its homeward flight when the robbers reached my door and tried to foree it but 1 had pushed my bedstead'against the door, and, with my personal efforts to prevent them from enteriog | had improvised a barricade that promised to resist all attacks made against {t The prolonged defense | was making incensed and exasperated the feilows to such a degree that they poured forth threats of vengeance upon me.

The thought was so egonizing that 1 refused to entertain it All this time the fellows were work ing at the door~ The bolt was forced and slowly, but surely, the barricade was ylelding to the power outside I saw a masked face peer through the opening thus made, and the giim mer of the dark lantern from outside I could remaln no longer.
