She struggled. with a dim, horrid sus-

She huriedlv traversed the passage MI

opened, but there was no light, for the
shutters were closed.
Two mem were in the room whisper-
ing together as they groped a,bout in the
darkness.
Mary conid hear the sound
voices, but not one Word that
tered.
She strained every nerve to. catch a
word. - -
Suddenly she heard a sound behind
her. There was a creaking again on, the
. stairs. Some one was Mounting them.
There was stow no escape for her. The
moment was a terrible one. There was
no time for doubt or consideration.
"Jack 1" sounded` from behind her in
a loud whisper, which made• her sick
with fright.
. Silence in the room.
" Jack," again from, the staircase.
" All's right 1" was the answer.
Mary had. decided. She leaned for-
ward and drew the door softly to with-
out, of course, latching it. Then she
turned, and going noiselessly to the
head of the stairs she said, in a low whis-
per: • -
" Hush ! not a word, or you are ruin-
ed 1" and she grasped a man tightly by
the wrist.
He struggled a. moment, but io vain,
for Mary had a firm hold, and his wrist
was caught as in a vise. The man
seemed taken aback, And trembled like a
leaf. Could Mary hive seen his face, it
was like a sheet, -80 white.
"1 know all," she went on, huriiedly.
"You have come to rob my poorfather, '
this she almost hissed out; "a poor old

made a mistake though, for I will defend
him and, his fortune to .the'death, and
pm must first forever silence my voice if
you would pass into yonder. rom, with
the stain of blood on your hands 1"
The man trembled still. Mary thought
him a poor wretch to tremble so before a
woman.

with freezing contempt, "to rob an old

The man shuddered.
As yet hi had not spoken a word.
All this time the two men in the room
were fumbling at the secretary. They
heard nothing of what passed without
in the passage.
The Man made no reply to Maay.
"Tell ine," she went on, more eagerly;
" swear to me -go in and save those -

The ghatitly white moonlight shone on
the haggerdlace of Barry Wylde.
He looked down on the woman he lov-
ed, and stooping, gave her a passionate
kiss on the lips. The next moment he
left the room, and hurrying down the;
steps and out of the door, was soon far
away.
The old man was azoused. by the shriek.
He tottered, well nigh frozen with fear,
into the room vehence it had. come.

On the morrow afternoon, as quite res-
tored, Mary sat on the porch with her
father, shed,vent over to him and rever-
ently kissed his forehead.
"Poor fother 1" she said.
"My poor, dea,r child !" returned the
old man, taking her hand.
She dared not speak of the robbery.
"We will work and live together,
father,'said Mary, with a tear in her
eye.
Mary loosed his wrists, and, half-deacl-
between hope and fear, leaned against the
bannisters. , -
The man sprang past her into the
room. -
It was vacant. Theretwas not a hu-
man being in it. The sedretary had been
pried open. On the 14or, scattered
around, lay a quanty of: papers. The
whole place seemed to have been ran-
sacked. , •
Mary and the man had been so busily
engaged in their talk, that they paid no
attention to the room.
The door, as was said, was left ajar.
/When the men in the room gave, the
answer, "All's right," they all set to
work. 'They had brought some tools with
them, but there was little need. of them,
for the secretary was not locked very
securely. After very. little trouble they
opened it with so little noise, that Mary
and the man in the passage heard noth-
ing, of it. They found a great many
papers, but nothing like gold, as they
expected. One of them then went to
thd window, and quietly opened the
shutters. That made it very light in
the room, for the white moonlight came
streanaing in.
At length they found a box with a
bundle of papers. They took this.to the
light to examine: At the window both
paused and looked at each other. They
heard voices M the passage. This
frightened them so that they looked put
of the window instinctively for a way of
retreat.
The window was only one story from
the. round,and beneath was the soft
grass. They grasped their treasure se-
curely, one the box and the other the
papers, and. one after another got out of
the window, dropped on the ground and.
made tracks.
The remaining men, seeing the room
in confusion and his companions gone,
knew not what to do. He aeemed like
atman dazed. He put his hand to his
head.
“Too late," he said, a little louder
than a whisper.
Mary started forward. These two
words seemed to vivify her. She ran
straight to the secretary. It wa,sempty.
The drawer where her father -kept his
valuable papers was open, and. there was
nothing in that either.
"Gone 1" she murmured, "Great

had lain it by, thinking to surprise you
and Barry one day. Why was I. so care-

Mary loosed puzzled and half angry.
" Then your money that you had
saved-"
John Griffin in his turn looked bewil-
dered.
"lit was not that, iny child, the
wretches took, but a, little -sum had
been paving for you and Barry against the

The old. man continued:

safely away in My. bedroom, and there it
is; it was the little fund I had put away
for you and Barry."
We will never need. it now," said
Mary, very gravely, with a quiver on
her lip.

with a sad snaile " only a lover's quar-

sought to know. Mary, on this point,
was positive. John was often sorely
puzzled, for he knew his daughter had
no woman's caprice, but in this She was
inflexible. She died unmarried, and. her
brokenhearted father closed her eyes.
But he never knew her secret.

A QUESTION. -Why will people keep
four or five ill -looking, sickly horses to
do the Work that one good one might
perform? If the horse 'has the heaves, is
broken winded, has a cough or cold, or
his wind is in any affected; if his appetite
is bad, or his digestive organs deranged,
has a rough skin or is hide botind, we
-would in all cases.recomraend the ase of

There are but few _ preparations a medicine
which have withstood the impartial judgment of
the people for any great length of time. One of
these is THOMAS' ELECTRIC OIL, purely a prepar-
ation of six Of some of thebest oils that are kuown,
each one possessing virtnee of its own. Scientific
physicians know that medicines may be formed of
several ingredients in certaiu fixed proportions of
greater power -and producing effects whieh could
never result froraahe ttse of any one of them, or in
different cambinations. Thus in the preparation
of this oil a chemical change takes place, forming
a compound which eould not by any possibility be
made from any other combination or proportions
of the same ingredients, Or any other ingredients,
and entirely different from anything ever before
made, one which produces the most astonishing re-
sults, and having a wider range of application
than any medicine ever before discovered. It con-
tain no alcohol or other volatile liquids -conse-
quently loses nothing by evaporation. AN:lierever
applied you get the benefit of every drop; whereas
with other preparations nearly all the alcohol is
10fit in that way, and you get only the small quan-
tity of oils which they may contahi.
