A mansion of gray sandstone it stands in the midst of extensive grounds, shaded hy nob'o oaks, elms, pines and sycamores.

Otsego Lake; such oaks ne ir Niagara 01 in the blue-grass region ef Kentucky ; such sycamores along ti'c tmiio <?r tlie wauasii; imii mere urc few places where one finds them grouped together. They give the place mi air of seclusion such :is brooded over Keiiilworth. Close inspection is require)! to ileicrniiiie that the house is luiilt ot stoue. Vines cover it from foundation to roof, half concealing doors ami windows, and massing up under the eaves in great swells of vendlire. There aro ivy, I Virginia creepers and trumpet vine?, ami 1 would gladly have more were there spare for fheni to grow. It is just such a home as a retiring old hilt-helm like myself loves. i need scarcely describe the interior. I call it comfortable; tidy housekeepers (llcnvcn defend me from theui!) would call it slovenly. My aged housekeeper is nol ambitious. She tries to please me, and does so; hut she is not tidy. My occasional visitors assure me that the looms ato not well aired, that there is a musty odor in the parlor, that the lihiary is quite damp. I confess that such le narks amine me. The dampness ami miisltmss have m vei been apparent to me, and my boil ekeeper has never mentioned llie subject. I therefore conclude that the trouble lies chiefly in the fancy i>i cimi iin i1 rvin*i mid oflii ions women. who have not enough at home to Ueop them busy. I'p in my attic, opening toward the 4 . . 11 . ;_,. ? #ii*fu rr, wHk-'Ji swings back on a hinge. Vines half exclude the light. B'Tds come there, mostly sparrows?a truly detestable bird ? but robins and bluebirds also visit the place at intervals. 1 once had a robin stand on the cave within a foot of my lace, peeling at me curiously. lie wiuked at: I rol'.c 1 his nretty he id in a nost d vetting way. I half believe ho thought me some gigantic species of bird ? a gigantic cousin he had not seen before. I olten peer shyly at the outside world tlirou h this little window, stan<ling on my leet the while, as the opening is higher above the lloor than common. The attic i* partly '.i :hts is seldom used. ('Id furniture, boxes, pictures, papers ::i.<l violins lake up most of tho space; coinvcbs and soot are omniprc-ent. There are dark angles and corners into which . " body hut myself ever peers. I love the ipiiet of the place, and its utter lack if order. Sometimes I take up one of miv old violins and discourse a half-forgot ton air in so low a k'-y that even tho -pidcrs an not disturbed. A recent warm evening in July foun t > o in the attic. A breath of sultry aii came tin on Ji the vine chocke I window ; the leaves oil my old trees were motionless. Many pe ?;>Io were moving on the -licet, brought out of their homes in the hope of finding cooler air. <>ne young I iily I singled out walking alone, a tall, .-lately \vo:ncu, who face, while dimly ecu at ijuitc a distance, I could imagine to be handsome. I grew retrospective :;s I watched her. I am not given to sentimentality?indeed, I know women too well to love them; but it canuot be denied that it is very natural for a man to let tL>cm bamboozic him. I am well aware that the word l amboozle is not elegant; hut no othet word will convey my idea. Women arc r.utural deceivers; what use have they lor sincerity? llow well they know t'se I owei of n handsome figure, a bright. ye, or pretty teeth I With what adi liable art do they add to an l improve upon natural attractions 1 The sweet smile of a girl in her teens is hard to resist, I grant you; it overturns rcasou and philosophy as the great wheel of tho wind mill overthrew Don Quixote; but if this self same sweet smile fails to captivate you, it is not soon turned upon an ranch I 1 gat oat of patience: | Women wind men round their fingers. Women of tact?polite women?rule the world. If one could find a really sincere woman?rather pretty, too?what a satisfaction it would be to marry her! But where in the wide world is one to look for suchf While gazing intently out of the window with an interest beyond the ordinary?shall I confess it!?In the fair pedestrian. I betight I ?*w a man moving among the shrubbery near my gate, but on closer inspection concluded that 1 had been deceived. I watched the stately lady out of sight, laughing at my own folly the while, aud was about to turn my attention to the old attic when 1 felt something touch me. The touch was at first so faint that I thought It might be fancy, or that I might have come in contact with the wall. In order to see the street plainly, I had been forced to protrude ray shoulders through the aperture, which is too small to permit one to turn round. Before I had time to withdraw my head, the touch became a grip, and two stout arms were about my waist. I was hel I as in a vise I Picture to yourself my position. Night was falling, I was alone, and a prisoner in my own house. A prisoner of what/ of whom? I might call; but who would hear me? I knew the house was empty. My old housekeeper had gone out, and might not return for hours. Ho long as she attended to my wauls and got my mnnl. ,nr.nl.,l. T ...1,1..... i ...I IMVU.O BVIMMIU lU^miUU VTUUIU she went or how Ion# sho stayoJ. Who are you?" I gasped. No reply. "Let me go," I shrieked; ' ! shall alarm the neighbor*. " Not a sound hut the echo of my owu voico among the rafters. "Help? help I" I Ncroariied. The grip of thv villain tightened. One hand slowly moved up toward my neck, making its murderous purpose inoro nppareut; the other was very near iny faithful old gold time-piece, an?l heirloom that numbered more years than myself. Was I to ho murdered for its possession? In a frenzy partly made up of fear, partly of rage. I struggled to get my head and shoulders out of the oritico in order to lie on more equal terms with my dastardly assailant; hut I scorned like a babe in his grasp. My blood chilled at the idea of being so powerless. Did the cut-throat intend to throttle ino, or throw me from the wiudow of my own attic? As yet he had not uttered h sound, f could hear the mottled movement of his feet on the lloor; but uot a wor I, not a breath. A cold sweat broke out all over me; my sight grow dim. Thesilonco of my mystoriour assailant was worse than any uproar. Why ilid ho not speak? "Help! help!" I screamed, my strength fast failing. I felt a powerful !ej twisting about my own; he was about to throw mo badily from tho window. Frenzy nerved me with a strength not my own. I squirmed, twisted, bit, screamed, and kicked like a madman. The extreme violence of my strength shall never cease to astonish me. I succeeded in getting my hen 1 and shoulders out ol the aperture, broke loose from the villain's grasp, and sent bun sprawling on the floor. I rolled over and over him in my frenzy. Kvery man has more or less of the savage in him, and for the time being every savage instinct in inv nature was uppermost. It was a tight for life. The attic had grown dark, and the floor was so strowu with boxes and buudles tfiat it was impossible to avoid tbein. Wo fell over fliem repeatedly in our struggles. Precious though the ol<l unframe ! paintings were, I trod them 1111dorfoot; much us I prized my violins, I hurled them at the villain with all my strength. I hugan to have some advantage over him; lie did not know the attic as well as I. lie stumbled against the angles, tipped over cases that I knew the location of, bumped against the sloping ceiling. My courage began to rise once more. "Hegone, or I shall shoot!" 1 cried. For the first time there came a sound from the villain. lie chu "Ivied!

Tlireo Kinds of Lightniu?. * According to Arago, the celebrate 1 French physicist, there are three kinds of lightning, which he names lightning of the first, second and third classes. Lightning of the first class is known as fork lightning. That of the second class as sheet lightning, which has no definite form, but seems to be a great mass of light. It ha? not the intensity of lightning of the first class. When it occurs behind a cloud, it lights up its outline only. Occasionally it illu ninates the entire body of clouds, and appears to come forth from the very heart of it. Sheet lightning is very much more frequent than forked lightning. Lightning of the third kind is called ball lightning. Ball lightning lasts for several seconds, and, in this respect, differs widely from lightning of the tir>t and second classes, which are, in the strictest sense, momentary.?Detroit Free Press.
