Oue day p.ll except myself nad our serv ant girl were invited to a dinner party. I confess I dreaded to have them go. F i nally I resignedly bade them “ get out o f j my sight.“ I Sally and I were good friends. She told I me stories and sang songs till I began to I think it was quite a fine thing to be left j at home. Tired of staying iu the house, I sauntered down the front walk and I amused myself by indulging in a forbid den pleasure—swinging on the gate. Looking down the road, I spied a man coming along. I Hew to the house, and, satisfied that he was coming in, I ran to Sally. Seizing her dress with both hands, I exclaimed: “ Oh, Sally, there is a dreadful looking man coining in!” Sally picked up the poker and walked to the door, while I, imitating her exam ple. sn a tilled a stick of wood. Suddenly Sally cried: “ You little goose. It Is Pill McCarty.” Sure enough, It was Sally's beau. Her mother was very si«*k, and McCarty was sent to bring Sally home immediately. Here was a dilemma. Sally didn’t want to leave me, and unless she started home then she might not see her mother alive. It was neurly time for the rest of the folks to come home, so I managed to raise courage enough to say I was will ing to remain alone. In a few minutes Sally was off, and I was left in possession of our great house. I remembered that none of our doors could be locked. Papa, who had a few strange ideas, declared locks were a nui sance. I felt that I was doomed. On each side of our yard was a brook, pretty and peaceable in pleasant weather, but a very little rain transformed them both into raging torrents. As I stood at the window I saw first one bridge and then the other swept off. I knew now that I must stay alone all night. It would bo impossible for rny brothers and sisters to get lioihe. Travelers, or, ns Sally call ed them, “ trampers,” often stopped at our house overnight, ns there was no pub lic house near. To my horror, I now saw c o of them coming across the fields. Wirhout stopping to knock, the great, rough nmu walked In. “ Can I stay here all night?” I dared not refuse him, so as firmly as I could I answered, “ Yes.” H e seemed surprised at seeing no one but myself und questioned me much. I told him my brother was up stairs writing; that we two were alone. That was the first thing that entered my head to tell him. Such a villainous countenance as that man had! Bedtime came, and I directed the man to a room up stairs in the servants’ apartment, where I said my brother was. Now that there was real danger I was calm and reasonable. I fastened the door that led up stairs with my embroid ery scissors, which happened to be In ray pocket, so ns to guard against surprise, and, hurriedly collecting our silverware, carried it to mamma’s room and hid it In the bed. I was elated at my ingenuity. I then hunted up what few jewels the girls possessed and, placing them, with what money I could find, In a box. tied them In my pocket. A fter doing this I stole down stairs and removed my scis sors from the door. Those scissors were counted among my most valuable treas ures. 1 had hail them many years and had no Intention of losing them now. Only one plan for escape that I orig inated seemed feasible. I determined to wait till I heard rny lodger in the rooms below and then wrap myself in papa’s shawl and jump out of the window. I was not kept In suspense long. The pe culiar squeak of the sitting room door warned me that it was time to act. Qui etly I raised the window, and just as the steps approached the stairs I jumped to the ground. Fortunately, there was a bed of lilies directly beneath the window, and they softened my fall. It was as dark as Egypt. The rain was pouring down lu torrents, but this was nothing in comparison with the horror withing the house. H alf a mile hack o f our house lived a friend of papa’s—Mr. Vincent. I re solved to go there. I ran along, stum bling against fences and falling into ditches, thinking I never knew such a long half mile. Finally I reached the house and man aged to tell rny story. Several young men happened to have been delayed there by the storm, and, headed by Henry Vin cent, a young man of some 22 years, they prepared to capture my visitor. When we came within sight o f our house, we saw a light flitting from room to room, and n few words of boisterous song floated to us on the breeze. Silently my friends surrounded the house, guard ing every avenue o f escape. Henry and I (I would not let him leave uie a mo ment) entered the house. W e found the vagabond searching papa’ s desk. He had found several hundred dollars that I had not seen when preparing for flight. He started to inn when he saw i!«; but, finding men and revolvers on all side*, he was obliged to surrender.
