the taller Of the twain, grufiiy, and dont
make any noise, il you don't wAnt your
neck twisted round like chickens"
While the other, busying himselfin re
connOitering the eupboards and the
shelves, turned suddenly round with q
sharp volley Of oAths.
"NothiDg but tin and pewter" he
snarled. "rell us, where is the silver,
girli"
ave have no silver" said Dora, falter-
ingly. "What should poor people like
to do with silver2"
1.-THE money, theBG / know there is
money, for I saw him come out of the
baBk yesterday with wallet full. Quick,
we haven't any time to lose."
T:'s-it's up stairs, sewed in the bot
tom of the feather bed, in the spare
room," hesitated Dora, "but you won't
hurt me2,'
"What should wehurt you forG" scorn-
fully demanded the ruffian. "Go up
stairs, Jack, and see, while stay here to
keep this girl from raising the neighbor-
hood"
~ shall not scream" said Dora, ele-
waiting her head little contenptuously.
"Who is there to hear meg We are far
from any house."
"That's true enough" said the man
called Jack. "Give US your knife, Casey,
and we'll stir up the live goose feathers
to some purpose. The gal won't trouble
U.S."
But the heavy footsteps of the men had
hardly sounded at the head of the stairs
when Dora's languid assumption of in
difference vanished. Like a winged spirit
she few across the room, and noiselessly
prying up the loose boards with a knife,
she caught up the japanned box and the
stocking, and hiding them in her apron,
jumped from the low window to avoid the
noise of the rusty door hinge, and struck
into the woods at the back of the house.
No hare ever darted more swiftly
through the tangled paths of the forest
than did Dora Klein, until at last safe in
the deepest recesses, where no one, who
was not as nimble as deer and as slen-
der as herself, could follow. And then,
crouching down among the underground,
she watched and waited. As night APP
preached, and friendly dusk crept over
hill and dale, she ventured by degrees to
approach the side of the woods where the
north star beamed overhead, reassuring
her of her whereabouts. And when at
last the hoarse voices of the two men,
hurrying down secluded by-road struck
momentary terror to her heart, the after
thought followed with blessed relief
the certainty that they were gone and she
was safe.
Mr.. Myers and Jane were seated by
the fire that they had just rekindled,
neither of them having any heart to set
about the preparation of the frugal even
ing meal, when the door cracked on its
hinges, and something glided in pale and
silent.
The next moment the japanned box
and stocking lay in Mrs. Myers lap, and
Dora Klein was sobbing on her shoulder.
"Why, Dora" exclaimed the farmer,
''what does this meani"
And Dora told her story incoherently
and full of sobbing pauses, and when il
vas concluded Mrs. Myers threw her arms
around the girls neck and kissed her
again and sgain.
