" You have been at this front- ier post ever since Captain Boswell was stationed here ?" "Yea, we have been here eight years," she replied, with the rare smile that glorifi- ed her face, " I have passed through many trying ordeals here, but I really think I had an adventure in the East, before I married the captain, equal to anything that I have experienced." " Will you relate it, and oblige us 1" said Russell. " Mrs. Boswell," said Dan, the irrepres- sible youngster rrepres-sibleyoungster of the party, "Jim," jerking his thumb toward the lieutenant, " is out West onurpose to spill ink for New York papers. purpose can become a, heroine of rom- ance if you will." " Thank you," said our little hostess. " I don't mind accepting the honor." Three of us were sitting in the inner apartment of the small frontier hostelry. The barroom was packed with miners, and we had chosen to have our supper served by ourselves, as we had appointed to go on to Custer City in company, Mrs. Boswell was much below the medi- um size, Tuck of speech, light of movement as a bird and as graceful as a fawn. " It was in 18—," she began. " I had just made the acquaintance of Captain Boswell ; he having some business matters to arrange with father, had called at our plare several times. finally there came a rare day in Autumn, and ho and father Were closeted the greater part of the day, overhauling papers, memoranda, deeds, receipts. My father at that time was doing a great deal of business as an attorney. "At tett-tltble father said to me : 'Bess, on won't minden evening alone, so long Thomas is about, will you ?" I said no, for although there were many ahberies being committed in the neighbor. ing cities, private families in toe suburbs felt no fear.

"I would have enjoyed immensely to kindle a sparkling fire in the huge wide fireplace, but as affairs were I could not. So I mused in the darkness hours. I really took no heed of time, until my quick. ear caught the sound of a footfall approach- ing, close up to the door -step, 1 could have taken my oath. It was so like an echo that I sprang to, my feet, thinking that my cousin Milly, absent when my father called, and returning later, had come down to stay with me. - I sprang up with a smile to answer her knock, albeit I was a bit jealous of her pretty face ; bub no knock came, and the echoes died out, and altogether 1 concluded that I had deceived myself in regard to them. Anyhow I would light the lamp. I slid so, and was startled to find it past 10 o'clock. I had gotten sufficiently aroused from my reverie to want a book from the library shelves. I took up my lamp and went singing into the room. " I obtained the desired volume, stepped down from the tool, and— " If ever any one felt themselves flying I did at that moment. My song died on my lips, while a thousand thoughts seemed to flash into my mind in one instant. Involun- tarily 1 gasped, and then, with a strong ef, fort of the will power, for which 1 was fam- ous, I took up the song again and sang it to a close. "Among other things I remembered that the lock was off the library door for repairs. I remembered the lateness of the hour and the possibility that all the people were in bed and asleep. I remembered the footsteps in the dooryard, and—there was a fresh pungent smell of tobacco smoke in the room. A scent of smoke that was not in the room when I was there and placed the package of money in my bosom. "Do you wonder that my brain reeled and my heart stopped beating for an in- stant ? Beside, whoever the robber was, he would soon begin work, not knowing how early my father and the captain might re- turn. And I should be murdered. Some - whore within a few yards or a few feet of me, the robber assassin was concealed— eithor in the recess behind the cabinet, or under the long, draped, paper -strewn table. "A faint sound outside nearly made me drop the lamp ; still I had unconsciously left my first song and was singing: ' For his bride a soldier won her, And a winning tongue had he.' "I knew that temporarily salvation— power and liberty to leave the room, even— depended upon my appearing unconscious of the robber's proximity. "I got out of the library and found my- self in the sitting -room. A hasty glance at the door showed the key was absent: -fedm the lock. Tteaeliery! "I wonder that this new revelation did not suffocate me. The man on the highway —the injured brother—Thomas had betray- ed us. He had overheard about the money. A robber was in the house another was out- side. My retreat would be cut off. How thoughts ran riot through my mind 1 How would they kill me? Would I suffer long? At that instant I was sure I heard a faint creak of the library door at the far end of the hall. " One swift, despairing glance around me, one wild idea of escape, and I extinguished the light upon the table, and crouching in the fireplace, I rested one foot upon the iron, swung out the iron crane, stepped the other foot/ upon the strong support, and rose up into the flue. Something torched my head. Thank God 1 It was the rope with which the dislodged bricks had been hoisted out. Grasping this carefnlly with my hands I held myself like a wedge in the opening. If I had envied large, noble -look- ing women before, I had now reason to be thankful for my diminutive form and ninety odd pounds of avoirdupois. "' But Captain Boswell is going to leave $5,000 .here until he returns.' •' ' Does any one know about the money. "'Only ourselves.' "'Then I am not afraid. Beside, you aro likely to be back before graveyards yawn and thieves do walk abroad.' 'Thomas brought the horse round, and while father spoke to him, 1 touched the captain's sleeve. Where is your money loft?" "'In your father's desk in the library.' Then he looked with a tender inquiring glance into my face (how the little woman's cheek flushed at the memory) and said : ' Little girl, if you are in the least afraid we will not go to -night, although it is absolute- ly necessary.' "I told hire honestly that I was not afraid. I never had that stratum of timid• ity in my make-up peculiar to womanhood ; and so they rose away. "1 sang about my work as I put the things In shape around the rooin, and viewed the brilliant sunset, without a fear or care. " Thomas, our new man -of -all -work, was very bas puttering about the grounds, ty- ing up bass: and mulching evergreens. I knew that there was some coarse after- math upon the hill that father was anxious to have put on the strawberry beds, and seeing Thomas go up there with his basket, I tied a scarf over my head, took another basket, and went up to help him. As I passed up the hill I saw a man in the highway speak to him. I hesitated about going on, but the man made only a moment's pause, and then went down the hill, and was soon concealed by a turn in the highway. "' Who was that, Thomas?" I enquired. "'Oh, miss, it was a man from the mills, saying that my brother has had a bad fall on the dam, and is bellowing for me to come and see him. His legs are broken entire- ly." "' What will you do? " " `I told the man I couldn't come to sec him to-day—but if I went, miss, I would be sure to be back by 11 o'clock, if not. earlier.' "' Yon may go, Thomas, if your brother le hurt so bad. Papa will not be away :Ion' ,But, my 'young lady-" "' Never mind me in such a case as this." I was always very tender-hearted. " Yon may go, and •I will runback to the house," He talked a few minutes more, was pro- fuse in his thanks for my kindness, and then' started down for the city. I took up the two baskets, and went singing to the house. " 1 sat an hour at the open window, en- joying intensely this being alone and the quiet beauty of this cool Autumn evening. t' Perhaps you will wonder at this," and the dimples played about her pretty mouth, " but littPe girds were singing a new -song no longer used trenie'aautlon.- •They hur- ried from one partmena,to, the other.

"Tho cellar,' suggested] the voice, Once inor•e they dashed out, only to re- turn in hot haste now, for there was the trot and rumble of a horse and carriage on the bridge between us and the city. " 'Say,' urged the stranger, 'trump up some kind of a story, and we may secure the money yet.' "'I would,' returned Thomas, 'but the girl's a witch, and I am just as sure that she is somewhere near ns all the time, and would hand me over to justice.' "There was a scamper outside and the sound of feet running toward the river came down tlio wide month at the top of the chimney. Bather and Captain Boswell drove into the yard and up to the door, just as the clock struck twelve. "'Thomas,' called my father, in his ring- ing tones, 'come and take care of the horse. "Receiving no'response from his usually punctual factotum, he sprang up the steps and uttered an exclamation of horror at find- ing the door open. 'Boswell,' said he, ' we certamiy saw a light hero when we came down the hill.' Quick, Jason,' said the captain, 'there has been foul play.' "' Father,' I strove to call, but the first attempt, choked in dust and soot, ended in a hysterical hiccough. "' What is that? What is that?' called my distracted father, and both men dashed for the library. "I now strove to descend, but the move- ment brought down bushels of mortar and broken bricks from all sides, and closed up the flue. I bethought Inc of the rope, and by sticking my toes in here and there I went up the chimney hand over hand. "Agile as it cat, when I reached the top of the low chimney I sprang down upgn the roof and began calling Loudly for father. "You should have beard them run through the house and halloo before they located my voice. At last the captain came outdoors. "' Will you get me a ladder, please ?' said I. ' I want to get down from here.' "' A ladder, Jason,' shouted the captain; ' the little girl is on the roof.' "' For the love of heaven, girl, how came you there?' said my father, as I landed upon the ground and began shaking the soot from my clothes. ' 1 went up there through the chimney, papa. But you had better put up the horse --and then I will tell you all about it.' " The captain led me into the house, for I was trembling violently. "' Now,' said father, being absent only a moment or two, without letting nut have time to mop the smut from my face and hands, ' now tell us what this menus—my little girl climbing the ridgepole like a cat at midnight. si in a femoments initten; wereezpToan w-- ed. "' Thomas, the villain 1' ejaculated my father. ' I'll have him if 1 have to hunt the two continents for trim, and he shall have his deserts." "He kept his word.

" W hon I gave the captain his money I should have burst out in hysterical sobbing only I remembered the soot in time to pre- vent shading myself in black crayon, and Captain Boswell believed that stature and bulk were not always certificates of the best materials, and—" "And," finished Dan, our jester, "it may be said, Mrs. Boswell, that you actually flue to his arms."

I went to her and said : ' Elizabeth, were you ever married?' - "' Why, no,' she said, blushing. ' You know that.' "' Well, Elizabeth,' I said, 'you are a good girl, and since no man—' "Then slie burst out crying and ran out of the room, so that I could not finish what I wanted to say." " Well, that was a funny way to ask a woman to marry you," said the man of sym- pathy. " What way ?" " Telling her that you were sorry that no man would have her." "No man have her?" said the unlucky man. "I never said a word about that. I was going to say since no man could be good enough for her I hoped she would forgive my feelings. Wasn't it hard luck that the wouldn't let me finish my sentence?" " Why didn't you go back and explain it?" " Well," said the unlucky man, sorrow- fully, " I was bound to get married, so I went and proposed to Sarah Smithtand she took fine. - " I had little time, however, to consider anything except the imminent danger of dislodging a fragment of brick or mortar, and urns discovering my hiding -place, for the clock began with sonorous peals to strike 11. Under cover of its echoes there were quick, soft steps in the hall, and the bolt of the outer door was withdrawn. The huge flue must have acted like a telephone, for I heard every sound with fearful dis tinetness. First there was a pause by the door of the sitting -room, then breathing in it, then whispering. " She isn't here ; she's gone to bed ; but the money is in the library.' "' Be cautious,' advised a strange voice, and we may not have to hurt het." " They carefully retreated, and my heart truck of the seconds against my ribs in a way that was suffocating ; for I knew that their search would soon be over, and what then ? "In less than five minutes they were whispering m the rooin again. "' Confound her 1' aspirated Thomas, 'she took the money with her.' "' Then we'll have it if—' " The pause meant all that words could convey. " The, cold sweat was coming out of every pore of my body. The dust of the creosote had penetrated my mouth and nostrils, and I had to take one hand from. the rope in their absence and place a finger upon my lips to prevent sneezing. "' Come, hurry,' was the angrywatch- word exchanged between them, and I heard the stairs creaking as they ascended to my chamber. Thomas was familiar with all the house. Why did I not drop down and escape outside "First, then, they had locked the outer door and withdrawn the key •to prevent a surprise from without. Second, there might be a third confederate outside. But the most important reason of ,all was, it seems to me, th.:t 1 never could get out of the aperture that had allowed me entrance into the chimney. I ran the risk of 'discovery and death in any case. " Oh, why did not my father and his companion return? Tt might be hours first. " They had found the absent from my chambers and the adjoining rooms. They "At any rate you got married?" "Married? Not a bit of it. Sarah Smith heard that I loved Elizabeth and had made that mistake, and she got mad and broke the engagement." "Then you had your chance to go back to your first love?" " I did." "Did you get her?" " Get her? No ! I tell you, man, I'm the unluckiest being alive. I went back and asked her plunk out to marry me, and found that after she heard about my engagement to Sarah Smith she's gone and promised to marry a fellow who'd been begging her to marry him for the last five years." " Why didn't you wait then to see if she didn't break her engagement?" " Hang it, man, 1 did." "Did you go back again?" " No ; I didn't." "Why not?" "Because I'd changed my mind about get- ting married.

There is too much of her in the home. She may be the patient, self-sacrificing mother who gets overtired that others may go free ; she may be an elder sister who has sacrificed- all the graces and gifts of individ- ual life to a family of younger brothers and sisters. Perhaps she isa maiden aunt who smoothes the 'ay with anxious eagerness for every- body's feet but her own or a grandmother whose burdens multiply with the coining of the second generation because the young mother has not learned the secret of living her life independently. Whatever emergency of life may have called out her unselfishness, there it is, and, as I said before, there is altogether too much of it. • Why? Because there is such a thing as an unselfishness that passes beyond the proper bounds and becomes mean-spirited. • It lays aside that proper recognition of self which commands respect, and which is wholly necessary for individual well being. That the mother should be the head, the brains of her family, what is more fitting? That she should be hands and feet, that she should serve before them like a hired as- sistant, a thousand times no 1 These unselfish women; in their anxiety to exemplify the golden rule, quite forget that self, after all, underlies its measure of valves. • If a great many women treated their neighbors no better than they treated themselves this would be a sad world for neighborliness. And this unselfishness is sure to work mischief in a family, too. For nnselfishness is unlike most other virtues, in that it breeds its opposites, not its own kind. In a family where the wife, or the mother or the elder daughter, is anxiously unselfish where she watches every opportunity to do for the other members of the family what there is every good reason they should do for themselves, these others learn quickly enough first to accept it, then to assume it, and finally to demand it. And so there comes out of the home of the unselfish woman a flock of careless, selfseek- ing children, intent on themselves, crimin- ally heedless of everybody else, trampling on the rights of others, and having to unlearn perhaps late in life, the selfish lessons they learned at their unselfish mother's knee. Rarely is it that the lesson ie learned as it should be, and so is kept up the army of selfish men and women who ,make half the burden and unhappiness of living.
