In thc winter of 1842, a gentleman and his daughter, u young lady, while travel ing through Canuda, arri ved about night fall at un old-fashioned tavern. The gentleman concluded to stop there in stead ol'going on to the village of S which was len miles distant, ami which they had thought to reach. The daughter-('arrie-expressed her willingness, as the tavern presented a comfortable appearance, and they alight ed, when it was plainly to be seen that the gen tie m an waa ?jo it,- lame, so much so that he was obliged to use a cane. The landlord came out, .:ii " calling a boy to take thc horse and ..leigh to thc barn, he ushered .Mr. Spencer and his daughter into a pleasant sitting-room, where a bright fire was burning nu the hearth, which proved very acceptable to our travelers, who hud been in the sleigh since morning. "Your room will bo ready by supper time, sir," said the landlord, as he left the room and went into thc bar-room. Sup; er was shortly announced, ami after refreshing themselves, Mr. Spencer and Carrie returned to thc cozy sitting room, where they talked and chatted until half past eight. They were then BIIOWII their room which was on thc second story, in a wing somewhat distant from thc main portion. The room was very long, with u high ceiling. On one sido wits a window, und on thc other a door. Just above tho door was a bust of King George III. The loom was very plainly furnished, containing two beds, a washstand, und n few chnirs. Carrie took in the whole room nt a glance, and it must bc confessed, hud there not been a cheerful fire burning, she would have felt ncrvoun about sleep ing there. As it wns the warm glow lit up tho room into comparative cheerful ness. While sho and her father sat by the fire, her eyes wandered lo the bust above the door, when she noticed that thc eye balls hud evidently been knocked out, leaving two empty spaces. "Well, Carrie." said Mr. Spencer, presently, "I think you had better lock the door. I am going to count my money." After Corrio bud done so, hu drew out a money-belt heavy with hills, and pro ceeded to count them. While acing so, Carrie's eyes involun tarily wandered uguin to thc bust, when, to her horror and astonishment, in place of empty spaces were two glittering eyes, greedily watching every movement of" her father. Tho young giri could scarcely riprcasa scream ; but, controlling herself, sho looked towards the fire, while her father went on counting a large roll of bills. "I must have been mistaken," thought thc fair girl. "What could tnako me have such a strange fancy, though ?" she contiuued, glancing again nt the bust. Tho eyes were still thero-two burning, savage eyes, that brightened us Mr. Spen cer went on counting. "Good heavens!' thought Carrio, "what shall wc do i Wo aro evidently in a den of thieves, and will get murdered for my poor father's money I" How to communicate their danger to her father without those terrible eyes noticing it, Carrio could not think. Sud denly a bright idea came to her. "Fatter,* she said, aloud. "let me take a card and peucil. 1 wish to mako a memorandum of some items I want to purchase in tho village." Her father handed them to her, nfter stowing away his belt. Carrie wrote, tremblingly in a fine hand "Father," do not bo frightened ; we are in a trap. Go in the opposite corner of tho room, where your face will be in tho dark, ana look at the bust above the door. In it you will fifW iwo glittering eyes that have watched you counting your money." "Read it," sho said, aloud, handing the card to her father. "I want you to see if you think I am too extravagant." Her father betrayed no emotion as ho read, but said "You are pretty extravagant, Carrie. I suppose you think your fattier is made of money :" und he urose and went to the washstand, which was in a dark cornor. Once thero he glanced toward the bust, and that glance confirmed his daughter's extraordinary stntoment. When he came back to his scat, Currie saw that the eyes were gone. Then, leaning towards her father, she said, in a low tone "You see it is ns I said. I have thought of n plan, however, by which we cnn both escape. Yon would bo perfect ly helpless in un affray of any kind on ?ccoi.r.1 ?if y;:"r !:'.:::?. leg, so ? ?!*,.,.<t ?nv? us both." Then follow? d a whispered consulta tion, during which Carrie kept her eyes fixed on the bust; but thc glittering orbs had not como back. As HIIC concluded, Carrio went to the window, threw it up, and looked out. Beckoning to her father, who came, she said, or rather whispered "You see this shed, father? Well, they will probably come un on it and get in through thc window. I do not think they will make the attack before twelve, so I will get out of this window, jump from the shed, go to tho barn and take our horse, and go to S-- tor help." Flinging a wrap over her. slight f she cmbraceti ..<>i father tsnderiy, and bidding him not worry over her, she jumped lightly out on tho shed and dis appeared. Air. Spencer watched act for a while, then closing tho window, took out a handsome watch, saw that it wa> niuo o'clock, ntid proceeded to work. He firit covered up the fire, blew out tho light, and rolled up a blanket, with which he made A dammy. This he placed in the bed which his daughter was to occupy. \ Then no ?at d?wii and waited--bb, how anxiously! ' Tew, fifteen, twenty minutes ^ent byK and ??nont?d ttm?fc tfttoi tho vicfaliy.OT Taking nfl" Iii? boots, he crept noiseless ly to thc window and peered out, hut he could see nothing. Then creeping to thc washstand he laid hil money-belt in the drawer and closed it He then threw himself ou the bed, and once more waited. After an hour had apparently gone by, ! Mr. Spencer threw off his coat and vest, tumbled up tile bed, hobbled to the door, unlocked it, and stepped out into the hall. This was all in accoidance with Carrie's plan. "Landlord ! landlord!" he shouted. He then went hack into the room ami noiselessly threw up the window, all the time shouting for the landlord. That worthy came flying up the stairs, and, late as it wa-, be was still dressed. "Oil, landlord," gasped Mr. Spencer, rushing toward him, "I have been robbed! my money ?fl gone!" "Gone!" echoed the landlord, in dis .nay. "Who could have stolen il !" groaned Mr. Spencer. "I had (ive thousand dol lar-* in a belt, sud it i-> gone-stolen !" The landlord lit the candle and looked all nrouud, chagrin depicted on every feature. "Why don't you wake your daughter, sir?" he questioned. Mr. Spencer hurried t .. lier I? d. "Carne, Carrie!" be culled, but no answer caine ; and thu landlord, drawing near with the light, saw tin- dummy, and cried - "Whv, mao, the girl isn't lhere!" "What !" gasped Mr. Spencer. "Oh, I see it all ! The wicked cirl hits robbed mc while 1 slept, and nm od'to meet her lover, from ?boni I was taking her." ile ran to thc window, followed liv the landlord. "Yes, yes, here are footprints in the snow on the shed!" cried the landlord, while Mr. Spencer groaned aloud, "i'ow long do you think siic hus been gone, sir?" askeil the landlord. "For an hour or more, the deceitful jade!" replied Mr. Spencer. "Then there's no usc looking for her sir," rejoined the landlord. "Oh, but I must!" cried Mr. Spencer, as he began to descend the stairway, fol lowed by the landlord, who had believed every word Mr. Silencer -?aid. ? They proceeded to the barn, followed hy the landlord's cou f?d?r?tes. The- found the horse gone, und her mode :.{ flight was easily explained. "You may as well give her up, sir," said the landlord eons dingly. "I suppose I may," groaned Mr. Spen cer, and they returned to the house. As they left the barn be hean! thc landlord whisper to om- nf hi> confede rates - " l ue job's up, .hui ; we'd better let the old man alone." Once more entering his room, Mr. Spencer threw himself on the bed, and awaited the return ofhis brave daughter. "God bless her and bring her back in safety," he murmured. Meanwhile all grew still, and the hours rolled by. The fire hud been rake ! up and cracked merrily. Thc eyes were not looking from the bust ; they had evidently disappeared for the night. At last, after what seemed au age to thc anxious watcher, he heard a loud knock on the front entrance, and five minutes afterwards heard the landlord stumble to the door. Then followed ?1 confused jumble of curses und struggles, then a rush of many feet up thc long hull aud stairway. Thc next minute the door was thrown open and his daughter rushed in, followed by the officers, who dragged in the land lord and his confederates. "Oh, father!" she cried, "you are safe, safe!" ami throwing her arms around h ii neck the brave girl burst into hupp) tears. The sheri!!"and Iiis po^e of men heh the landlord and his confederates in t vice-like grasp, while Carrie related tin adventure of lier perilous ride. "Aller I left the barn I led Tommy t< a fence, all unsaddled sprang on him wound my arms tightly round his neck and whispered, 'Go Tommy !' and awuj ! we went like wind. Up and down, ove the frozen road we went! My nrms fel like ice. I thought I should certainly freeze, and after what stemed an agc o" cold and pain, and misery, wc dashcf 'iito the main street of S-. As wi caine up in front of the tavern thc stag* drove up, and the inmates .sprang out nm rushed to my assistance. I must huv> been almost insensible, for I hud to b carried in by the landlord. I was givei warm drinks uuiil I fully recovered, nm was ablo to relato my story. I told thou my suspicions and my fears, and this gen tleman -here ?arrio paused, and turn lng to a fine-looking mun near her, unid "Mr. Jumes, by his ready belief in whu I told, mid his energy mid spirit in aron? ing thc sheriff and his men, hos been th main cause in bringing assistance." Mr. Spencer grasped tho young mau' hand and thanked ni m. 1 "Your plan succeeded admirably, Cai rie," he said, and advancing to thc wash stand, he took out tho money-belt, saying I "My monev is all right, as you see."" Tlie landlord quivered with rage as h saw how completely he had boen d< featcd. As thc men began to search thc ronn thc landlord protested his innocence, di daring that they had no right to hoi him or his men prisoners or to search li house. Breaking open tho door, above whic was the bust, the men rushed in. The room was empty, save for a lon ladder which reached a shelf above th door. A bolo above tho shelf disclose the bust to be broken in half, so that man could easily climb up thc ladde Eet on the shelf, thrust his head in tl ust, which was large enough for an o dinnry-sized man's Head, and see alt th: was going on in thc adjoining 100m. On returning to the room occupied t Mr. Spencer, they again searched evci nook and corner. Suddenly, Carrio and Mr. James, wt had been standing by the fire-place, gat I a loud cry, for on closo examination tin : had found spots ol blood on the brid which formed tho hearth. They began to pull up tho blink which proved loose, when Carrie, feelir faint, gave way to tho sheriff" and h men, wno soon had them nil pulled u when a cavity was disclosed, contain ir the murderer, tody of a gentleman who Mr. Jnmcs und the sheriff remember! to have stopped at S- three days b fore.
