him down and was tying him, when the
other one slipped in and knocked me over

bresthed that minute they tied you and
went up stairs saying they'd be down

tell where the money was that your ia.

ner of the room, she told him to stand up
straight. Then throwing dark cloth
over him, she said, ''There's skeleton in
the corner nearest the door, covered just
as you are, and they will not notice YOU"
When, q moment later, the burglars en-
tered the room, she was picking up the
bits of rope from the carpet. They stood
in wonder a moment at the change in af-
fairs, then advanced, and one of them said:
SLOWS this, girl9 Where's that fellow
that gave Jack here such a blow on the
head3 You had better tell, or twill be
the worse for your And he clicked his
pistol to brighten her.
"I'm not afraid of either you or your
firearms, so don't bluster," she said,
coolly.
swell, it seems to me-" he said, gazing
at her rather admiringly, "thst you are
rather cool. But come-tell US how you
got loose"
~ have not the slightest intention of
telling you anything; you may find out
for yourself"
The fellow picked up a bit of rope,
looked at it, smiled, and said:
"Let me see your wrists"
She held them up, and there were two
great white blisters on them.
II see now-you burnt yourself loose.
Rather a plucky way of doing! But we
must hurry, and you must tell US where
the money is right away-the sooner the
better"
"There is no money in the house, am
certain, for father would have told me
about it."
"Come, none of that! should hate to
put q ball through your arm, but will
do it if it is necessary to make you toll"
THAT would do no good, for should
be very likely to faint; then you could
find nothing; and told you truly that 1
knew nothing about any money being in
the house."
He looked searchingly into her face,
and said:
"YOu are telling the truth, that's .
fact. But how does it come that you are
not afraid Of met Do You know that I'm
the great burglar, Captain Jimmief"
Il dont care who you are, for there's
One above who will shield me from Cap
