How strange the thoughts, how fearful

THE VICTIMS.
BY EDA MAYYILLE.

1t was the evening of a clear day in
October, that two interesting girls, Julia
and Nellie Lambert, were seated at the
window of plain two story dweIIing,sit-
uated nearly half mile from any other
habitation.
They were both young and beautiful
and at that time the only occupants of
the dwelling.
! don't like the idea of our staying
alone here tonight, julia said Ne lie,
the youngest, looking out over the fields
with an anxious gaze, our parents will
not return tonight, or they would have
been here ere this.
Why, what in the world do you fear,
child !? replied Julia, good-naturedly, 'we
have no enemies, and nothing mysterious
occurs in this vicinity, but if you are
lonely run over to Captain Granger's and
ask our friends Kate and Emma 10 come
and spend the night with u.s.
That was just what / was thinking Of
not that I think there is any danger, OF
that they would be any protection in case
there was-but it viii be SO much more
pleasant to have company and catching
her hat, the young girl bounded away
over the green on her mission, while Jul
ia busted herself in preparing a nice tes
for her expected guests.
An hour later, and the four girls wert
seated at the table, discussing the ricl
viands, and laughing and chatting in IN
constrained freedom.
Suddenly the conversation was inter
rupted by loud knocking at the from
door.
Ran, Nellie, dear, aud see who II is

: young friends.
i Nellie arose and left the table, but 500
, returned with the intelligence that

| fellow and very genteel, continued Eelli,
e but ! did not know what to tell hiin abog
