THREB BRAVE ItTKr?.
Pretty Barbara Ferros -would not
marry. Her mother waa in conster?
nation. . ?*1 ' ~ ?1 ?g* ? 1 g ff,, ,.
"Why are you BO stubborn^ 3ar
bara?" abo asked, "you have plenty
of lovers, I know."
"But they do not ?nit me," said
Barbara, coolly, tying back her onrls
before the mirror.''
?.Why not?"
"I want? when X marry, a man who
is brave, equal to any emergency. If
I give np my (liberty* I want to be
- taken caro of."
"Silly child! what ia the matter
with big Barney, the blacksmith?"
..Ho1 ls big, bot I- nev?r loamed
^v??* he was brave."
"And you never heard that he was
not. What is the matter with Ear?
nest, the gunsmith?"
"He's as placid as goat's milk?"
"That is no sign, that he is a
coward. There is little Fritz, the
tanner, he is quarrelsome enough for
yon, snrely?"
"He is no bigger than a bantam
cock. It is little be could do if the
houBe was set upon by robbers 1"
"It's not always strength that wins
a fight, my girl It takes brains as
well as brawn. Come, now, Barbara,
give these young fellows a fair trial."
Barbara turned her face before the
mirror, letting down one raven tress
and looping up another.
"I will, mother," said she at lost.
That evening, Earnest, the gun?
smith, knocked early at the door.
"You sent for me, Barbara?" he
* said, going to the girl, who stood
upon the hearth, coquettishly warm?
ing one pretty foot and then the
other.
* 'Yes, Earnest, " sb e replied. "I*ve
boen thinking of what you said the
other night when you were here."
"Well, Barbara."
Earnest spoke quietly, but his dark
blue eyes flashed, and he looked at
her intently.
"I want to test yon."
"How?"
"I want to see if you dare do a
very disagreeable thing."
"What is it?"
"There ia an old coffin np stairs.
It smells of mold. They say Red?
mond, the murderer, was buried in
it; bnt the devil carno for his body
and left the coffin empty at the end
of a week; and it was finally taken
from the tomb. It is up stairs in the
room my grand-sire died in, and they
eay grand-sire does not rest easy in
his grave for some reason, though
that I know nothing about. Dare
you make that coffin your 'bed to?
night?"
Earnest laughed.
"Is that all? I will that, and sleep
soundly. Why, pretty one, did you
think I had weak nerves?"
"Your nerves will have good prool
if you undertake it. Remember, no
one sleeps in that wing of the house."
"I shall sleep the sounder. I will
send a lad to snow you the chamber.
If you s tivy until morning," said im?
perious Misa Barbara, with a nod ol
her pretty head, "I will marry you."
"You vow it?"
Earnest turned straightway and
followed the lad in waiting througl
dim rooms and passages, up echoing
stairs, along narrow, damp ways,
where rats scatter before them, to i
low chamber. The boy looked pah
and soared, and evidently wanted tc
hurry away; but Earnest made hin
wait until he took a survey of th?
room by the aid of his lamp. It wai
very large and full of recesses, witt
high windows in them, whioh wert
barred aoross. He remembered tba
old Grand-sire Ferros had been in
sane several years before his death
so that this precaution had been ne
cessary for the safety of himself um
others. In the centre of the roon
stood a coffin; beside it was placed ?
chair. The room was otherwise per
featly empty.
Earnest stretched himself in tb
coffin.
"Be kind enongh to tell Miss Bar
bara that it's a very good fit," h<
said, fi
The boy went out and shut tin
door, leaving the young gunsmitl
alone in the dark.
Meanwhile, Barbara was talking
with the big blacksmith in the keep
ing-room.
"Barney," said she, pulling he
hands away from his grasp, when h<
would have kissed her, "I've a tes
to put to you beforo I give you an;
answer. There is a corpse lying ii
the untenanted wing of the house
If you dare sit with it there all night
and let nothing drive you from you
post, yon will not ask me to marr;
you again in vain."
"You will give me a light and i
bottle of wine, and a book to read?'
"Nothing."
"Are these all the conditions yoi
can offer me, Barbara?"
"All. And if you get frightened
you need never look me in tho foe
again."
"I'll take them, then."
So Barney waa conducted to bi
post by the lad, who bad been it
strticted in the secret, and whose ir.
voluntary atare at Earnest's face as i
lay in tho coffin, was interpreted b
Barney to natural awe of a corpse
Ho took his seat, and the boy le
bim alono with tho darkness, the rai
and tho coffin.
Soon after, young Fritz, the tai
ncr, arrived, flattered and hopefu
from the feet that Barbara had sent
for him. ' "." ..^.W'?'?!'
"Have iQfl ob*nged, your* mind,
Barbara?" be asked. ,s :
?.No; and I shall not. until I know
that you e?n do a really brave thing."
..What shall it'be? I swear *o
satisfy yon, Barbara."
-VI hat* ai proposal to make yon.
My plan requires skill as well as cou?
rage."
"Tell me."
"Well, in this house is a man
watohing by a corpse. He has sworn
not to leave bis post until morning.
Ii you can make bim do it, I shall be
satisfied that you are as smart and
as brave as I require a husband to
be."
"Why, nothing is so easy!" ex?
claimed Fritz, "I can scare him
away. Furnish me with a sheet,
show me the room, and go to your
rest, Barbara. You shall find me at
the post in the morning."
Barbara did os required, and saw
the tanner step blithely away to his
task. It was then nearly 12 o'clock,
and she sought her own chamber,
quickly.
Barney was sitting at hin vigil,
and, so far, all had been well. The
night seemed very long, for he had
no means of counting tho time. At
times a thrill went through him, for
it seemed ns if he he could hear low,
suppressed breathing not far away;
bat he persuaded himself that it was
the wind, blowing through tho cre?
vices of the old house. Still, it was
very lonely, and not at all cheerful.
The faco in tho coffin gleamed
whiter through tho darkness. The
rats squeaked as if a famine were
upon them and they smelled dead
flesh. The thought made him shud?
der. He got up and walked about,
but something made a slight noise,
as if somebody was behind him, and
he put his chair with its back against
tho wall, and sat down again. He
had been hard at work all day, and
at last, in spite of everything, bc
grew sleepy. Finally, he nodded anc
snored.
Suddenly, it seemed as if somebody
had touched him. Ho awoko with i
start, and saw nobody near, thougl
in the centro of the room, stood i
white figure.
"Curse you, get ont of this!" h<
exclaimed, in a fright, using the firs
words that came to his tongue.
The figure held up its right am
and sfowly approached him. H
started to his feet. The spectre cam'
nearer, nearer, pressing him into th
corner.
"The d-1 take you!" cried Bai
noy, in his extremity.
Involuntarily he stopped back; stil
the figure advanced, coming neare
and nearer, and extending both arme
as if to take him in a ghastly em
brace. The hair started up on Bal
ney's head; he grew desperate, an
just as the gleaming arms would hav
touched him, he fell upon the gbos
like a whirlwind, tearing off th
sheet, thumping, pounding, bcatin
and kicking, more and more enrage
at the resistance ho met, which toi
him the truth.
As the reader knows, ho was bij
and Fritz was little; and while li
was pummeling the little tanner ui
mercifully, and Fritz was trying i
vain to get a lunge at Barney's st?
much, to take the wind ont of bin
both plunging and kicking lil
horses, they were petrified by bea
ing a voice cry:
"Take one of your size, Big Ba
ney!"
Looking around, they saw tl
corpse sitting np in his coffin. Th
was too much. They released cac
other and sprang for tho door. Th?
never know how they got out; bi
they ran homo in hot haste, pan tir
like stags.
It was Barbara herself who can
and opened tho door upon Earnc
the next morning.
"It's very early; ono more litt
nap," said he, turning over in tl
coffin.
So she married him; and thou<
she sent Fritz and Barney invitatio:
to the wedding, they did not appen
If they discovered tho trick, th<
kept the knowledge to themselvc
and never willingly faced Barban
laughing eyes again.
