HANKHKAD. ^ HE story of that 1 hangs ft t?!o, and rather a long one. It was years ngo, when I was not twenty, that I gof it, nod not cv<| yet can I think -f that uight without You know my parents died when I was quite young, find nfter leaving school my timo used to he divided between Uncle Tom's house in tho city and Aunt Lizzie's in the country. I was alwnys with Aunt L;zzie in the summer, and it was whilo on a visit to her that it happened. Kho lived quite in tho mountains, on a Inrgo farm two miles from tho railway station, and at. least twenty from town. The country was thinly settled, the farms all being large, with few exceptions, ami ro bad no near neighbors besides the tenants oil the place. My aunt, an elderly woman in delicate health, made no attempt to keep up anything except the garden and the grounds around tho house; sho kept only two regular servants, a girl, tho daughter of ono of the colored tenants, who wont homo every night, and a half-grown hoy who slept in an outhouse. The house was an old-fashioned brick olio with a buscuicut, aud cuuolslcd ul ? hall, entered from a small front porch, a room on cither side, and an ell with two rooms running back from it and opeuing i?_?? ir4K 11 jh ui u lai^c umi\ jiui^ii, u jioutuo tuu f>ame arrangement was repeated; my rouin whs the front room upstairs over the parlor, while my auut's was downstairs in the ell, with a Bmall, cuclosed stairway running from it into the room above, in which hor son, my cousiu James, generally slept. But at the time of which i speak James had been away for a week, and was not expected back for several days, so that at night there was no one in the house but my aunt aud myself. Neither of us was timid, and such n tiling as robbery was so unheald of that very ticqucntly the back dcors were not even fastened by night, and nc one ever thought of putting away too silver spoons and forks, nor the old silver teapot when night came. Coining from the city, as I did, it seemed to me rather careless, for I knew how caieful Uncle 'loin's wife was about her silver Kill A 11111 I iitio -..U 1 "Ob, child, there is no danger 1" And - ?!.: 1 i. i r i- _ af ihuiiiuk i'vl'i seeiueu 10 nnjtpeu i t*ugnn to think she was right, although my floor was always bolted at night and 1 saw that tlie front floor was fastened. Uncle had scut tne a check several days before the day of which I am going to tell you, and although not for a very large amount, it was larger than utual, f<>r 1 was going to nay a visit to some friends in L. before going back homo. On that never-to-be-forgotten day 1 rode over to the station to get my check ruined, for 1 needed sotuo ready money before going away. The postmaster and ticket agent was a sort of general factotum, and kept a store of general inetchandise, as well as attending to his other business. He always cashed my checks for me, and did so on that day as usual. As he county oia an l tn0 stWrK ana 1 noticed his eyes dwell particularly on the money, and on the oi imor.d rings which sparkleo on the fingers of my ungloved hand, my glove having been drawn off to indorst the check. The rings were my mother's, i ! have always worn them, nud still do so. f put the money carefully inside my 1 r.bit, and mounting my horse, rode oil without tiiiiikinu again of the man, an j roi> d ly would never have given him another thought if. iust us we rose from li e dinner table. a tramp bn<i not wnlkc<mi at the front gate and that traiu^ I roved to be the man I hud seen at tin rtution. I wondered ho'.v it had happened that lie had taken to the highw ay instead of the railway track, but said nothing us 1 obeyed auntie's injunction to give him some dinner. Aunt had a profound sympathy for any one who might be hungry and had had too little experience with tramps to be anything but benign and charitable where they were concerned. 1 had an uneasy consciousness thn> the man hud seen my money, and wished it had becu otherwise, but he proved quite inoffensive, notwithstanding hi? looks, and nfter thanking me politely enough for his dinner, walked off up the load. Consequently by night I had for gotten all about the matter, though I did lake care to set that the buck door wa? fastened as well as the front, which half the 'iine was foigotten. Y"ii must remember that fastening lint back door shut me off entirely from the rest of the house, as auotie's room was in the ell opening on the porch downstair*, while mine was upstair* in front. I undressed, went to bed, and slept quietly until some time in the night, when 1 was awakened by the furioui yelping of ''Frisk," a littlo black an<] tun torrier, which was in the habit o steslingly slyly under th* ?!: lU IU< ball downstairs, before the door wai shut, in order to spend the night on il when atl was quiet; I bad forgotten tc look for him, and had fastened htm in. Then J heard voices outside of my door, ruen's voices, and some one said : "Confound that cur I he would raise tho dond; tho trirl must be awake." The head of my bed was just at the door, and I heard distinctly. I rat up in bed, instantly, my heart beating loudly, so loudly, that it seemed to me I could heat it, ''or the unexpected bad happened, and these were certainly burglars. My first thought was for something to pul against tlio do or, but tliero was nothing 1 coul'l move except a small tabic full of books, which whs on the other side of tlie door froin the bed. I knew it would uot bo much hindrance, but concluded that the over* turning of the table and the books, in case the door was opened, might embarrass and delay them for a few niin.tcs; being top heavy, it was certain to overturn if pressed against. Tho knob was turned as I uiovod it, and the door shaken heavily from the outside. "Open the door,'' said a rough voice, "or I'll kick it down,''suiting the action to tho word by a vigorous kick. Another voice said: "Hand out that money and them diamonds, little gal, and wc won't hurt you." How iny courage was screwed up I don't know, for I was too frightened to speak, but I remembered a little pistol which had been givcu me, and which, being very pretty, I kept lying on my bureau, it was so small as to be nlmoat a toy, but it carried ono good-sized cartridge. 1 knew where to put my hand on it in tho dark and seizing it, 1 placed it against tho door panel, just where the voico seemed to be, and tired. There was a loud oath aud a cry, and a voice exclaimed: "Tho little vixen has hit moi jnst let mo get at her and I'll twi9t her neck," while the kicking aud shaking were renewed so violontly that I knew the door could not possibly hold out mnny irinutcs. I did not wait for it to hurst opcu, but rushed to the front window, and threw open tho blinds; tho night was a bright, moonlight one, and looking out I could see that ono blind ot the parlor window below was open, and the top not so far below that my f sot could not reach it while holding to the window sill above. 1 swung myself out, holding on to my own blind as 1 did so, and after several efforts steadied myself on tho lower blind. 1 d ired not let go, hut swung there for a momvr.t, sick and dizzy. Then I saw that tho edge of the roof nrrr ll.n ...no ....I ........ ...... t i . .... .... * > *? ??"?' beyond the ? Ji?o ??f the blind when wide open, and up tho aide of the porch wero stout, wooden strips, nailed across to support a honeysuckle, which had been crowing (here so munv voars that. its stein was almost as large as inar or a small tree. I don't know how 1 ever did it; iD the day time, and in cold blood, it would have been impossible for mo to do it again, but I managed to catch tho turned up edgo of the tin gutter around the porch, aud swing myself so that my feet caught on one of tho supports to the honeysuckle, and, step by step, managed to clumber down. As the ground was reached there was a crash upstairs, tho door having given way, and, with it, down came the tabic and hooka. I waited to hear no moro, but, half crazed with fright, tlew across tho lawn towards the side fence, a few yards beyond which stood the house of one of the tenants. In order to get to it 1 had to leave the shelter of the trees and come out into the bright moonlight, toy white night-dress making me conspicuous as I did so. There were two windows to my room, one on the side as well as ono in front, (Kit), ^'Yfiero she goes; shoot her down before she rouses the country on us." There was tho sound of a shot, and I felt something like a cut on my arm, which, all at. once, became wet. I did not realize that I was shot, but rushed on over the grass in my bare feet, tumbl ing over the fence in some sort of fashion, and finally falling against the window of the tenaut's house I cried with all my strength : "Oh, Mr. Jones! save ine, save me!" Fortunately the bouse was low to the ground, and the windows within easy reach, and I fell with such force against the bedroom window that a pane of gins:1 was broken and both Mr. and Mrs. Joned awakened. I remember nothing more until I woke to find myself on the lounge in Mrs. Jones's room, while she stood by |pn h-Tib'"0, mv blitAfliiwc metr shot guns?always kept on hand for game?they had called the dogs an l gone after ray two burglars.

All this came out ai ths trial. Ho! perhaps what I have yet to ted i< the most serious part of the aflaii aftei all. When old Or.

The process is not applica ble to the delicate perfumes of tho mig nonette and the violet; and for them re course is hau to maceration of thi flowers in animal fats or mineral oils which have the property of absorbinj odorous substances, and are then washei in alcohol.
