Peggy sprang upstairs like a deer.
She went straight to her chest.
Through the window came the rumble
of the stage, nearer and nearer. In a
minute or two it would reach the board
ing-house, and go on. Peggy looked
for the key. 1t was not under the mat,
as usual. Where could it be? Peggy
tried to think, but her head seemed in
a whirl. What could l have done with
the key?' she sobbed. Putting her
hand up to her neck, she happened to
feel a little ribbon. ''Oh, yes," she
sighed in relief. She had tied the KEY to
a ribbon, and placed it about her neck;
for now that she had diamond ring
in her chest, she would have to be
more careful, she had said to herself.
But the ribbon was tied in hard knot,
and was too strong to break. The
ominous rumble had stopped; the stage
had reached the boarding house. What
shall dO?' groaned Peggy, her heart
beating with fright and anxiety. 'Oh!
L must get into my chest" Then she
saw penknife on the table. In an in
slant she had cut the ribbon and I'M
locked the chest, caught up the ring,
and run downstairs. Her grandma
called: where are you going?" but
she dashed like whirlwind through the
kitchen, cleared the two steps at a
bound, and went up the road like a
flash. How she ranl Her heart beat
like trip-hammer, but her ears were
wide open to catch the sound of the
stage. Round the corner, by the end of
the orchard, she still kept on; but Just
as she came in front of the trim croquet-
ground. she saw the stage start off from
the door.
After it she sped with all her might.
The summer boarders were all collected
in front of the house. Mrs. Smart was
by the road, watching the last tears OF
the unfortunate maid; some fashionable
city children whom Peggy had always

A Singular Romance.
BALTIMORE, April 10

BALTIMORE, April 10.
1t seldom happens in real life that a young
lady three years after being enveloped in
her burial shroud and placed i'm a colin as
dead becomes bright and happy bride, yet
such singular romance has just been de-
veloped here.
A few evenings ago occurred the marriage
of Miss Mary Griffith, daughter of the late
John A. Griffith, former prominent mer-
chant of this city, and Mr.. Vivian Neal.
The bride is a beautiful young lady of
about twenty-one summers, and for the last
two seasons belle in Baltimore society.
Three years ago when the young lady was
residing in Cincinnati she had a terrible fall
down flight of stairs and received injuries
which were considered fatal. Several prom
inent physicians called to see her, and
pronounced her case hopeless. One
day the young girl grew much worse, fell
into comatOse state, and, as it was thought,
died. The body was prepared for burial and
exposed for two days in casket TO the view
of friends. The day of the funeral arrived,
and, at the appointed time, the carriages and
hearse drove up to the door. just as the
coffin was being closed ii was noticed that
the life-lke appearance of the supposed
corpse became more pronounced, and there
were slight signs of returning vitality. A
physician was called, and after an hour or
so Miss Griffith returned to consciousness.
The solemn gathering was turned into one of
Joy. The young girl recovered rapidly, and
has since been in better health than ever
before ..
