theyhadmistaken AM O oak chest which stood
agninst the wall for a depository Of valuables,
and this they we're now trying to force open.
They were quite occupied for the moment,
and from her dark angle Sophia could plainly
observe their movements. it was curious
that now. when fear might altogether have
overcome her, shS began T. Gel a renewal OF
courage. She locked across the dark hall tc
the passage on the other side which she
wished to reach, and she resolved while the
robbers were still engaged upon the chest t.
make a dart across. Several seconds sh)
waited, until SIZE saw an opportunity, and
while the men were trying to force the oakeI
lid, she flew across the hall, and was in the
passage on the other side, hidden from view.
But now, as she slowly groped her way
along the passage, a new terror arose. What
il the belfry door should be lockedl Thu
room was never used, and it might well be
that the key had been taken away. The bare
idea so terrified her that she scarce dared to
creep to the door, lest her fear should be veri-
fed. But there was no returning, and the
next moment she felt the door, and finding
the handle she turned it slowly, and to her un-
speaksble joy the door opened at her touch.
o. what a rush of relief she felt! Her po-
sition might still be perilous; but the greatest
danger was past. She crept round the wall,
feeling her way until her hands touched the
bell rope; and then, drawing a breath for the
effort, she pulled hard and fast, and immedi-
ately the iron tongue outside began to answer
her back in tones that seemed to tell that she
was once again in communication with the
honest world outside, and need fear no more.
Stroke after stroke the bell sent its resonant
alarm out upon the midnight; and at each
note Sophia tugged with fresh energy, and
the faithful bell above seemed to grow more
vehement as she with gathering strength APP
piled to it for help.

III.
MRS. TEMPLE ECONOMIES.

During the weeks that Immediately fol-
lowed Sophia observed that her mother was
very often thoughtful, and would talk to her
self, nod her head, shake it, frown and make
a number of those signs which denote that we
are thinking hard and reasoning with our
selves. She never dropped the smallest al
fusion to Prendergast, and Sophia, glad of
the opportunity, seized the favorable mo-
ments, and showered caresses and attentions
upon her mother, which the mother for her
part received with every mark of ~satisfac-
ton. Thus the time, which, had it fulfilled
Sophia's expectations, would have been one
long scene Of reproaches and regrets, did as
a matter of fact glide easily and pleasantly
by, giving another Illustration Of that great
common truth, that if we only wait until our
troubles actually come they will often turn
out no troubles at all Sophia, however,
wondered what the moot case could be that
her mother so pondered and argued with her.
self.
"Sophy, {" the little woman said one morning
at breakfast, 'this house is too large for us.
/ shall give it up, and rent a small one rather
nearer the town. Our lease expires in Sep
TENDER, and don't fancy another winter in
this lonely place."
So this had been the matter Of internal
debate. Sophia was not at all surprised to
Hnd that her mother was giving up the

YES OR NO.

Mother and daughter sat down to dinner.
Sophia's face was full Of care; but by some
accident, or by the caprice of fate, she was
beautifully dressed, and looked very charm
ing in her sadness. The beautiful attire was
not, indeed, very surprising, for Sophia gave
such particular attention to dress, and was,
besides, such a ''colorist," that l don't sup
pose she had an unbecoming gown in her
whole wardrobe. Tonight she wore a dress
Of pearl gray with a tucker of white lace
round the open front, and a garnet brooch,
WHICH suppose she had pinned in by chance;
but Z was in the best taste. Indeed, If the
poor heart-sick girl had spent two hours at
her glass and dressed herself for rivalry or
conquest, she could not have looked more
lovely. just as an accomplished writer when
he is thinking least Of form will throw off his
most finished piece, so Sophia, who was a true
mistress Of the art Of dress, did this evening,
when her thoughts were far enough from the
toilet, deck herself out in a way which most
Of all displayed her charms. Mrs. Barbara
Temple marked her as she sat
"When Prendergast comes,p that keen
witted woman said to herself having ar
ranged that he was to appear accidentally
after dinner, when Prendergast comes, and
sees you, il the sight does not unlock bis lips,
he is not the man / take him forTn
Perceiving Sophia's melancholy air, the lit
tie mother assumed the same herself. She
taciturn, thoughtful, sighed, and in
everything reflected her daughters sadness.
This was supreme high art; it was saying to
Sophia, 'if you are heavy at heart, so am I;
], too, am facing a great anxiety" And 50
efectually did she play her part that, to-
ward the end Of dinner, Sophia, rousing her
self by an effort, tried to talk cheerfully.
Mrs Barbara felt a thrill Of reasonable pride
in this recognition Of her power as a success.

tied she was, in truth, highly excited in view
Of her approaching triumph. She felt thai

md dssming it his duty to prepare Sophia
or the worst.
II have noticed this coming on for months
he said to her, while she could scarcely look
lin in tho face for laughter. sThere have
1een many symptoms which I have been
watching. 1 would not be frightened, Sophia
being frightened never does any good-but
still, if / were you, I should sleep with a
strait waistcoat under my pillow, and then,
if anything sudden happened, you could clap
it on. Forewarned is forearmed, Sophia"
Thus both within the family circle and
outside it the affairs of Mrs. Temple were dis
cussed, with great assiduity; but relatives,
friends and acquaintance were alike left in
the dark.
The ordinary set Of people talked the mat
ter over, wondered, surmised, and then for
got all about it. But the family could not so
lightly dismiss a doubt which concerned their
own interests; and in the family the whis-
pered belief was that the little mother, for
all her shrewdness, had run into extrava-
gance, and that poverty was now forcing her
to retrench. Then came questions: What is
her position now! From what source comes
her income? What will Sophia have when
she diesl And these misgivings were the
more anxious, because it was already Known
that a portion Of her property, at least, would
at her death go to her first husbands heir.

Death of JuIius wilcox

Ii was painful shock to us when we
learned of the death OF our old time Salem
county friend, Julius Wilcox, formerly of
Elmer. who died at his home in Melville
ON Wednesday of last week, of pneumonia.
The cause Of temperance and religion
never had stauncher and more consistent
and conscientious advocate than he. AS n
citizen he was upright, courteous and en-
terprising. We cannot better sum up his
history and good qualities than in the fol-
lowing from the Tridgeton Neics:
The deceased was native of Connect
cut and came to this state at about the date
of his majority, having at that time q
brother, Mr. Augustus Wilcox, conduct
ing the shoe business in partnership with
Mr.. Samuel Reeve, at the stand now oceu-
pied by Mr.. Clement Corey. Soon after
this he married the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Add Ayars by whom he had three
children. all living, and all surviving him.
Mr.. Wilcox in early life connected himself
with the NJ. i. church, and about twenty
five years since was licensed as 4 local
preacher and cxhorter, being at one time
settled over a charge at Auburn, formerly
Sculltown. Salem county. At the time Of
his death he was local elder, and filled
many pulpits. sometimes outside the Meth
odist church, with rare aeceptablity. The
deceased was man of marked individual
ity and strong convictions, and did what he
conceived to be right regardless of conse-
duenees. In politics he was a staunch and
uncompromising Republican, and believed
up to withina few years of his death that all
reforms, temperance and otherwise, could
best be accomplished within the lines Of
that party When he became convinced of
the fallacy of this reasoning, however, he
Immediately faced about and broke with
his party, and about four years since con-
scented to run for senator from Salem

BILE. His services to the church and Soei-
ctv were invaluable, and it will be long
time before one will be found to fill the
full measure of usefulness made void in the
death OF Julius Wilcox.
