HOW HE ESCAPED. A COMPLETE STOEV. I had been reading in the woods. They were our own woods, and there were some notices posted on the fences warning people not to i res-_ pass on those grounds, so that I felt safe from intrusion. 1 remember that i »y volume was Mjs Ale,.it"s "I,iLtic woili,,Ili," and that the ligill faded so that I could not see to read any longer, just, as I leached the top of the last page. "How time IIlH; gone I" I tlJVlIgltt, Mild closed the book and arose to go homeward, when a voice behind me said softly Pray do not be alarmed. I desire the ¡':lr(Jur "f a f!'IV nJI)Hleut' cOIl"er!o;aLÏ\J1J." !l was a very finely-modulated voice that in ered he words, nor did the tigure that I saw before /IIC awaken any terror in my mind, :ing 1 hat ot a man of graceful figure and gentle- manly presence. "You are -Miss Moreton, I feel sure," he "i. 1. Yes," I replied, and waited to hear what ■ ie would say next. He seamed to hesitate a moment, and ap- peared to be listening intently the while. It was d least two minutes before lie spoke, then what lie said was this: "I am about to plnce myself in your hands." As I was (olJly fourteen at the time, you may imagine that this statement astonished me be- yond expression. My first idea was that this poor gentleman oad out of his mind, and what to answer L did not, LIIOW, but 1 tried to look pleasantly as I retreated from him. "Do not be afraid of me," he said. "I tell you the simple truth when I say that my life is in your hands. You would prevent a mur- der if you could, I know. They are about to assassinate me in cold blood. Perhaps you can help me save myself." "01" yes, yes!" said I. "Come to the house; papa is away, but John the gardener has a gun, and his son is a very strong fellow, who will give you all possible help. Come, come, it is only a step through the woods and across the garden—come!" And I looked about me in terror. Miss Moreton," said the gentleman, "there is at this moment no immediate danger. What I need is lielp to conceal myself for a few hours, Ibis place is your father's, I fancy. You call help me if you will. That old, colonial house, with its many out-buihliugs, must have some hiding-place for a Imuted man, if the residents to lielp iiiiii. I have been watch- ing you for some time, and know that you will if, you have the power. Yon are young, but you are both bright and benevolent." Oli, any one would be glad to help you 1" I cried. "Not so fast, Miss Moreton," interrupted the gentleman, with a sad smile. Those who follow me are the sheriff and his men. Accused of a murder of which I am innocent as you are, I have been in gaol for many months—thence I have just escaped. On Friday next, if they should have found me by that time, I will be hung by the netsk until I am dead. So said the judge upon the bench, and circumstantial evidence warranted the jury in giving their verdict of I Giiilt,v.l Still, I am innocent—I swear it before God Almighty You are not Mr. Gordon ? I gasped. "I aiii A Ift-ed Gordon," replied the gentle- man, "accused of murdering old Bailey Abbot, the lawyer. Accused falsely, remember that, Miss Moreton, whatever you decide to do." I looked at him intently, and saw nothing in iiis face but sorrow and anxiety. I remembered the case very well. My father had read it with great interest. Bailey Abbot was supposed in some way to have tricked Alfred Gordon out of some pro- perty. They had had words in a public place, and afterward Bailey Abbot had been seen to enter Gordon's office, and had never been seen alive again. A pocket-book known to be his was found in Gordon's possession. He declared that Abbot had left it upon his table, and that he had merely kept it in order to restore it to him. But later a body had been found in the mill creek, all cut and gashed by the machinery, and Abbot's clerk swore to it as that of his employer. He it was who first declared that Gordon had murdered the lawyer. I had Ileard my father say that it was very likely that an innocent man had been doomed to death and my father was my great autho- rity, of course. A girl of fourteen, who has been carefully brought up, is apt to think that a murderer would assuredly bear upon his forehead the mark of Cain. I trusted to my own reading of Alfred Gor- don's fa.ce, and believed him implicitly. Mr. Gordon," I said, scarcely able to speak for the swelling in my throat and the rush of Ici'll Cye|>' 11 am sure y°n would never LIIPV Ue ^a^,er and mother are away; one in HIP ^one *tay a week. There is no one lD the house hut myself and of course the coines everv dar T an<l the 8ai(le»er, who to visit mefbuifshe wBHell 1 think 1 can hide you in the garret. The'keys are on my ring, and no one need no there 3 I will see that you have food." k Uieie> ai,d "You are a little angel," lie said. "God will reward you and if by your means 1 escape, there is a dear little woman whose thanks are worth more than mine, anti who believes in me so implicitly that wherever I may find an abiding place, she will come to me and share my lot. My promised wife, Miss Moreton." "Oh, I will sav^ you—I must save you," said I. "Come with me at once. Betty and Jane are getting tea, and the gardener has gone home by this time. I can take you in without anyone seeing us—and who knows how soon those wretches may he here? Then [ led him, by shady ways I knew of, to a little door, through which, a. hundred years before, an ancestress of mine had slipped one moonlight night to meet her lover, and ride away with him—and which had been known as the lady's door" ever since—and so up the stairs to the garret, a great room over the whole house, flllJ of trunks and bundles, old books and discarded furniture, and with a great fringed hammock swinging from the beams, where in rainy weather I loved to swing and read, and, with a. paper of candy at my side to complete my comfort, enjoyed myself greatly. There I left Mr. Gordon, promising to bring him some tea shortly, and hurried away to have tU!. now that, acting IIpon illlpniHe, I IInet one i so far as (o conceal a fugitive from justice in our dwelling, I began to wonder what my parents would say to me when they heard about it, and what- would happen tll IIW i r he were discovered but I nevertheless could not j iegret what I had done. The plates ere cleaned and the teapot empty when I left the table. I bad poured tile cOli. I tents of the latter into a rose-jar and filled a work-basket with eatables. My prisoner fared tolerably well that evening, but 1 fancy that he slept very iittie. ii, nervous the next mouiin,: when I took him his break- fast. t wish it were well over," he said, "and I (,n my way to lie place where I hope to live for the rest of my days. You are very brave for the rest of my days. You are very brave and ki;;d, Mi-is Moreton, and I hope this will bring you into no trouble." I felt very sorry for him, and sorry for his betrothed wife a Iso but it was delightful to be mixed up with such a romance, tin:! when Alice Kent arrived I poured the story into her ears. She sympathized with me entirely, an-1, was only too anxioun to assist the innocent victim of circumstantial evidence to escape. "It is like a novel," she said, or a ploy— it is delightful." We were upon the porch, talking together in whispers, when suddenly a band of mounted men rode up. They had come out of the woods a unstopped at our gate. "Beg pardon," one of them enid, "have either of you ladies seen a suspicious character slouching about the grounds ? Oh, dear, no I cried. "The gardener drives away all tramps." "I'm Sheriff Smith, and this is the keeper of gaol," said the man, indicating the Itettrest liller. "During the excitement caused by the aUllck of a^isoner on one of the oncers, Gordon, the miwiierer of Mr. Abbot has escaped. We know t lit.t he has been in (he wood yonder, and he may have hidden about your place. We, must search it." "Pray do," cried Alice Kent. "Amurderer The idea He will kill us all." J stood mute, not knowing what to do. The eel iar cried Alice Kent. "It would be ":¡"y to hide in the cellar I" Then she ran away up-stairs. ComeVm, ei-iel the sheriff. "Two of you watch the greuuds, the others follow lile." lie pulled up the wide, old-fashioned cellar door and descended the steps. 1 heard their voices below. They returned looking disap- pointed. Any one might- climh up those chestnuts I and ia at the garret window," said one of the men. "We must; search the house," said the sheriff. is your father in, miss ? No," I replied. "Then we can't ask his permission," said tile 11111.11 "Beg pardon—in the name of the 1. LIN, lie passed me and ran up-stairs sick at soul I followed. Alice stood smiling in the upper hall. "This way to the garret, she said. "Only walk softly, for poor auntie is quite ill." Gently, boys," said the sheriff. Poor, dear auntie," said Alice to me, "this will give her one of her nervous spells." She pulled me into my room. There npon the bed, well covered with quilts lay a figure, n ruffled nightcap upon its head, a handker- chief shading its face. The room was darkened, and two glasses with spoons crossing them stood on a candle-stand. 1 breathed more freely, and felt sure that our fugitive would not be funlld in the garret. He was not. Every loom was searched. At last, on tiptoe and with apologies for disturbing the sick lady, the sheriff and his men left the house. Mr. Gordon once more con- ceit led himself in the garret, where we inter- Mewed him. We learned that his great hope lay in reaching his sweetheart and her mother in New York, but that detectives would be on the watch at every depot; and toget her we concocted a, plan. It would take two days to drive to New York, still it could be done. Wc sent cook on all errand, and Jane to a friend in the village to borrow a book, and then harnessing our horse to the carryall, and pro- viding meat and drink for the joiliimyl we attired Mr. Gordon in cloak, bonnet, and green veil, and smuggled him into the back seat of the vehicle. Alice drove. I occupied the middle seat. We left the village behind us as speedily as possible, and took to the highway. Where the horse was fed and watered, we mentioned our siolc aunt. "Unable to travel by rail, because of her jpine," and so at host, in the dusk of the fol- lowiug evening, we arrived at the house of the lady of his love, with Mr. Gordon still snfe in ) the carryall. There we left him after heillg witnesses of a most affecting scene, and drove home as we had come. Fortunately Alice had had sense enough to telegraph to the cook that we should be absent for some time, therefore we had no questions to answer. Alice persnaded me to keep my secret from everybody, and reflection taught me that my parents might feel compromised if they knew the facts, so that I held my peace until all event occurred that made silence no longer necessary This was the return of old Bailey Abbot in perfect health and spirits. He declared that he had heard nothing of his supposed murder, but fancied that he had a right to take the outing if lie pleased, without such a blanked fuss being made about it." He kicked his affectionate clerk for haviJlg identified the body in the mill-pond as his, and corroborated Gor- don's statement as to the pocket-book. The facts were published in the papers, but elicited no news from the man to whom all were now anxious to make atonement. Tllllt lie was aware of everything, however, I am convinced, for on my wedding-day, which occurred some years later, I received a packet containing a valuable set of diamonds, and with it this note: My husband begs that you will accept this slight token of our gratitude. God bless you. May you be as happy as we are. I pray for ym always. ELLA GORDON." THJC END.

:PAT'S REASON. A man once committed suicide by hanging. At the inquest an Irishman was called as a witness. "Well," said the coroner, "did you see the man hanging ?" Yus, yer honer, I did, replied Pat. Well, why didn't you cut him down as soon as you saw him hanging ? asks the coroner. "Because he wasn't quite ilead," replied Pat.

GOT HIS REPLY. A commercial traveller luvd a customer whose name was Legg. The latter fNiled in business, and the traveller, who happened to be calling at the tillie, telegraphed to his firm. "Lcgg has broke." The firm placed the wrong construction on the telegram, and replied Sorry. See a physician and keep sober."

NO ADULTERATION. A young man once called at a country farm- house to see his girl, who was mistress of the dairy there. He knocked at the door, and it was opened by I he farmer himself. "How is the milkmaid ? asked the young iiiall, sityly. "Our milk isn't made, it's got from the cow," roared the farmer, angrily, slamming the door in the yonng man's face.

WHY HE STAYED. OMO day on Powell's liver in the Tennessee mountains 1 voile up to a comfortable looking farmhouse to inquire the way, ami I ran ]>hiiup into a one shied HCiimmage between a sharp visn^eil woman anil a measly little man at a "I pile.

"2s\ But you kin half a mile fin der down *e road." liy this time she had come nearer the gatp. Vou seem to ho having some trouble with lOllr farmhand," I said, at fI. venture.

LOST n IS CASE. My first case of any importance," said the .1 IRwyer who went to grow up with the country and then repented, was a damage suit for 10,000 dols. A CtllI of powder exploded ill the basement of a hardware store, and iny client, who bad just purchased a jack-knife, was try. ing it while occupying a. nail keg on the floor above. He came ont of ( he wreck minus part of an ear and the end of a linger, and he claimed that one eye washes t,!))ect,)ebi.(;oS.' Oil (lie day of Llie trial I aiiijost fell off chair when my man entered. I knew the day before he had run n foot-race, pitched horse- shoes and gone swimming. Now he tottered into Court; with two canes, bad his neck and helul muffled lilce a man with neuralgia, sat down slowly and with the greatest care and settled back with a groan that could be heard in the street. What in creation's the matter, Bill ? I whispered. | "'Blowed up,' he grinned. 'Don't yon j tliiiili I liiio%v iiiy bii,'jiess? There liuiu't notliin' on earth that ain't the matter with me till this here case is tried. I'm the worst exploded feller you ever see. Yon ask the exploded feller you ever see. You ask the questions and look after the law p ints: ^1II tend to my end of it. All what s worryin me is that 1 didn't have gumption enough to ask for 20,000 dols." t Two men helped Bill to the witness stand, lit) grlllwillg his best. From his story of the accident you'd believe that he was blown half a mile straight, through the roof and hadn t a sound spot left in his anatomy. He was in the midst of his storX and pity was written on the faces of the jury, wlien Bill s woolly dog fell foul of a foxhound belonging to the court. They were knocking furniture belter skelter and filling the air with yelps and hair, when Bill let out a whoop, jumped over a table, danced around encouraging his dog, wanted to bet he would whip, and shoved the judge over a chair to prevent his parting the brutes. Get It verdict? Case was dismissed, Bill was fined 25 dols. for contempt and was in gaol for three weeks before I could get him ont. Then be told around that I was no lawyer."
