When the servants returned next

Nine. Bucca pointed to the door. Some
one on the other side was turning tho
handle. Editha turned deadly pale, and
dropped the lamp she was carrying.
Presently there was knocking, and q
voice exclaimed:
"open the door directly, or"
The rest was inaudible. Editha's
screams drowned all else. Nine. Lucca
waited until the girls first stock CT
breath was exhausted, and her second
not yet arrived; she then said, with
comic severity:
"Editha, if you are not quiet, I will
begin by shooting you"
Editha thought, apparently, that her
mistress was in earnest, for the poor
girl Immediately rammed arge por-
tion of the nearest towel in to her
mouth, and restricted herself to swa "
ing to and fro and sobbing violently.
The l1noc king recommended, but the
door was massive oak and immovable.
MY FRIEND" cried Nine. Lucca, in a
loud voice, "you are Gagged. The garden
door is fastened as tightly as this one,
and the window is secured. Do not at
tempt to open the latter, for am going
into the garden, and the instant that l
see you try to escape you are dead
man."
Flinging open the door which led to
the veranda, she went out, followed by
Editha, who in her despair had sue
ceeded in pushing more of the towel in
to her mouth. The noise of bolt be-
ing drawn was heard.
"Stand aside, my friend!" said Nine.
Lucca, ''or you are dead man"
A sharp report followed, accompanied
by the sound of crashing wood and
splintered glass.
There! that is one barrel out of six.

EMPEROR AND MIsER.
HOW an 2varicious ESsitOw WsS Made &c
Disgorge Handsome som.

Hoxw an 2yaricious Esltow Wss Made to
Disgorge a Handsome som.
One thing the En- m3eror Nicholas held
IN particular aversion, and that was
aparice as trait of wealthy people. He
was, once travelling, with a riah gentle
man whGgn he had ,rften banaered upon
his mea7ness in money matters. IN
course Of the journey the carriage broke
down ana had to bs. left behind for re-
pairs. The travellers went forward on
fSot, and presently came NJ a spot
where the road waa flooded to a con-
sihera BILE depth.
The Emperor caled read laborer
and asked if he woudhcarry him through
me water.
"Why not?" sa.fl the laltorer, and
brthwida he took the monarch in his
arms ard conveyed him safely across.
Tho Emperor gave him. two gold
pieces and whispered: Now go and
sfetch the other gentleman, but when
\ you have got halfway through the
water staId stilll and ask him how
much he intends aogive yo,,."
The man did as. was told and in the
middle of the water dsmanded how
much ne was to get for his, Labor.
''Ycu rascal" cried the miser, "the
other gentlemaH paid for ns both. l
saw him, you inpudent swindler! You
shan not have another farthing."
What does he offer?" called the EN-
peror.
e'Says you paid for him, and he WON'T
give a farthing," replied the laborer.
'Vrhen drop him into the water" said
Nicholas.
