aroused neighbour from the window,
wen; back TO his Own room again.
"S0 far, 30 good" | DOW had 10
60 down stairs, reach the back door,
unbar it, get into the yard. make for
my room, which was in the second
story of the brick building that stood
unconnected with, and about a doz-
ell yards from the main one. After
giving everybody another half hour
to settle down again, started.
Boys, did you ever try to get up
or..down a,pair Of stairs at midnight
without making noise? You may
try it all sorts of ways, but every
step is sure to creak, each with a
peculiar noise of its own, and long
enough, you are sure, to wake ev-
erybody. l had got nearly to the
bottom, when little dog came trot-
ting up the entry toward me, yelling
furiously. A suppressed "como
here, Zip!" silenced him, for he rec
ognized nc, but the little fellow
started the mocking bird, aud all tho
dogs in the neighborhood, having
learned to take the cue, of course,
joined in the chorus for third time.
I ran along the passage reached
the door, and unlocked it just as the
governor, aroused for the second
time, opened his door, and seeing a
man coming in from the back way, Of
course cried "Thieves thieves !"
aud made rush after me. Twas too
quick for him though; l opened tho
door, sprang out, made for the door
that opened into room below
mine, and had just reached it, when
crash p! within a foot Of my bed went
n brick, and voice that l knew be-
longcd to the next door neighbor,
Tomkins, joined with the governor
in the crying of" Thieves thieves !!
murder murder!' was safe
though.
Running up stair, I "shcllcd" my
self quicker than ever did before or
since, and was in bed, and sound
asleep in halfa minute.
Wasn't that row, though? 1
never head so many dogs before
the mocking bird, of course, was out
doing all previous efforts-the chick
ems began to crow-Tomkins, next
door, was following Thieves" aud
calling the governor. l could hear
screams and all sorts Of noises, and
talking among tho ncigbbors, until,
ut length the old gentleman's voice
was heard in the yard calling Tom"
"Tom ="
Tom, fortunately, was sound
asleep, snoring.
Jumping from my bed l raised
the window. rubbed my eyes aud
looked particually frightened (which
l WASN'T aud ssked:
why, father, what in the world
10 the Eztier!"
