Ann took an old family Bible from her closet and laid each bill carefully between the leaves, putting it back on the top shelf. “If thieves was thick as blackber ries, which they isn’t,” she said, “not one o’ them would open a book to find money, lei alone a Bible.” A lint u UV| * m * » r% dently ; they don’t like to have much to do with a Bible, I guess.” Nobody saw two eyes that looked eagerly in for a moment and then disappeared as Ann went into the kitchen and the children returned to their play in the barn. Nor did they notice the faint rustle in the cow house, or feel that the same sharp eyes watched them between the boards of an old stall at the very end where straw was piled in for the cow’s bedding Mr Carter came up from the field presently, as The first bell rang for stiffper, ; and stopped for a lyomerit as he passed the barn. “Yes, if it is pleasant to-morrow,” Alice heard him say, in answer to some -questirti from YViuthrop, and ran out at once. “0, papa ! are you going to take us all ? Ann and everybody ?” ,but one, who must stay to keep house,” Mr. Carter answered. “You did last time, Alice, -so it’s JohnnyJs.turn now.” •* 1 “O', dear! I wish houses could keep rtienaselwes, papa,” Johnny groaned. “You won’t be gone all day, will you ,I‘Till late afternoon, my .boy. We must'get in our renter Supplies, for soon the creek *t£i II be so swolen we cannot cross You shall go next we Haul thorit home.” Johnny brighteneij up at once, and began to plan yvjiift should be done in the hours would spend alone ; and . the family ,\»ent in. Milkiog time passed, the great barn doors were shut, and nobody saw the dark figure lafcc in the evening dropped from a Tittle window of the stable, %nd skulled away through the orebardv nfhttering : “All aloi e all day ! Couldn’t have come round better”' Now ferjty dollars will not seem very you, but it was a great deal to Ann, who worked bard for all she earned in Mr. Carter’s family, and to this was just so much clear gain lieyond her yearly income. And this ff* bow it came to her.— Thretf an emigrant wag on, bound several others still farther camped all night on the great Illinois prairie, in the midst of wdiich was Mr. Carter’s section of land. The Vermilion Kiver ran close by,*ar stream full of rapids and deep holes 'and treacherous quicksands. Supposing the ford perfectly safe, ewner of the foremost wagon did nol untie tho cow following behind, bnt drove, in * carelessly, to find his horses in a moment off their feet and struggling in the swift current. How they got across at last he ?buld not have told, but when the children were sqfe on the other side, ! the poor cow was found to be dead, j strangled by the rope which had ; wound about her neck. The calf, 1 ouly a day old, had beeu lifted into a “CQJUNG THEIR* SHADOWS BEFORE’” > bellied, and *ifi4»gefl attlie its lfTothcr; on leaving the little thing camp fire. Hero Ann found it-in the afternoon, almost Mead, and* in -her strong arms tftok» it Tiome and 'fed it witli warm ifiilk. "Nobody thought live*; but •Knn’s baby, as Alice called it, after a month or two, wherein it seemed JPaily dying, turned around and grew as if-to make up for lost time. In a year there was no finer heifer among all Mr. Carter’s cattle, and when by and by She began to give milk, the neighbors all declared it was as good as tfoeir cream. Farmers came to see hit, and Ann in time found that ftbr nursling was a Devon, and wortli more than any cow in the neighbor .ltood. The calves were in demand all about, and the money you know about was the second forty dollars Ann had* received and laid away in the Bible. Big Dennis, the head man on the farm, looked upon her as ;fh heiress, and was ready at any time to begin house keeping in the way t&lked of by Alice; but Ann, like many anotheHieftess, was afraid bjf loved her than her sW, and still Ifek'hjtiaok from answer ing liisN^hestiqn. Johnny rod! wirtt them next, nmr niftg as far as tht; ford, and watched the wagon safefy-through, wondering meantime where the bridge was gone, which in the' spring freshet had floated ofl’. “Don’t go far from the house!” his fattmr called at the last moment. “AH jight!” Johnny shouted back, almost wishing something would happen so that he could ring the big bell, and call Dennis and the other men from the distant field where they were ploughing for winter wheat. Then he walked slowly up to the house, going into every room aud banging every door hard as he came out. It seemed very lonely and the sun streamed in ftut JohiYity”Hhc\ hi* <>wn plans, and going to the barn, be picked out two big pumpkins and carried them into the kitchen, stopping a moment to watch big Dennis, who Ltd come up , for a spade. ' “There is a on the prairie, camping,” he flnd. “I wonder it don’t go on, sucti a fine day as this.” “Maybe there is somebody sick,” Johnny said, remembering the baby that had died near the camping ground a year before. “FIT go over'at noon an’ ax them,” DetTnis said, walking away. Johnny lugged his pumpkins to tbo kitchen, sat down on the fioor, and was soon busy digging them out for Jack-o’ lanterns. It was hard work, but he refreshed himself by thinking how fine they would look, one on each side of the great gate, when all came home. Once or twice he looked up, thinking he heard a sound as if somebody were trying to open a window; but those in. thejdlclien were wide open, and Ann’s, be knew, was fastened down by a big nail. The pumpkins were*, hollowed, out and Johnny was intern, upon the eyes, whetj r a step behind! mad* him jump up and cry out, as he caught and held tight by a dark gypsy looking lad, seventeen or eighteen. Johnny screaned loudly, but in a moment was sienced by a, handkerchief stuffed into his mouth and-stnother tied over it. . “That'll keep you -piiet long enough, I reckou,” said tlia boy, look ing around uneasily, as if earful some one might come. “Now,‘you little varmint, you see that knie! If you stir or move, I’ll cut yous throat as easy I’d cut a pig’s. I know what I want aud I’ll help mysei.” Jofcr.ny kept bis place os the floor, half choked, but so frigblencM he could not stir'; while the boy, fiftt bolting the kitchen doorao that no onfr oould corne in that way, and faSgßiing down the wii.cows, went irifSPAnn’s room, took ost the nail and opened the window, Horn which he could step into the or.hard, and food turned to the closet. The upper shelf was too high for hiir, and, after reaching up for a moment,he brought a chair; mouutiug upon tlathe threw down the various bags and bundles which Ann had piled ov»r the old Bible, till he had it in his hand and began to turn over the leares. Now the door of tbeclo®et bad been taken from a log ho»s« used iu the Indian days, and bad not only lock ahd key, but two hqj.vy bolts at top and bottom, never used uow, to be sure, but strong as ever. And as Johnny sat there, his sauses and courage coming back, he saw what should be done, and did it at once. With a bound so suddeu that the thief had not time to turn, he dashed into the room, threw himself against the door and turned the key. Then, as:a ki4fcanlfe*.\vhioh % niight haxV ■burst ttte lock ritbne, lie shot the lower bolt, eli/tibed into a ohair and dM the same hjfcthe upper*one, and* tlfcn, Ann’s window,' Tatk like mad to tne field where Den «i£ was at work, tearing off the hand erchief as ho went. • “Go to the house!” was all lie could gasp, wheu once in the field ;« and Denuis, thinking it must be fire, ran, with the three mdn after Johnny sat dotw in 1» furreTO a moment, and then* sprang up and ran after thorn. * j “You’ll have to grif # in at dow !” he shouted, asl)ennis, finding the kitchen door locked, ran around the house. “Ann’s window is open ! ! Look in the closet!” he added, as!! Dennis, pausing outside to hear tlm storm of kicks and,! blows on the turned to the'men and remark ed, as’lie jumped in, nn’jlte divil fiimtelf i* in AttH's t room! \\’hatever are, ye're id an’ can’t get out,” on ; i‘s>o; Johnny, me boy, there’s time enough for you to lie tollin' what it is. “It’s not I that’ll be lettin’ ye out !” he shouted with a responsive kick on the door, w hen Johnny had finished his story. “Be asy now, honey. Ye’ll get all ve want when the masther comes, and in the inane time we’ll have a quiet, placabffi time kaping ye company outside. For fear,though, ye may make flinders of Ann’s clothes, I’ll just tie ye a bit.” « That was a scene, when Dennis opened the door, and the four men were kept busy for a few while he wound the rascal up with two clothes lines, and Johnny danced and screamed with excitement. Then Dennis laid him back among bundles, picked up the money and Bible, and again bolted the door. Mrs. Catly, who had seen the meu running, came over. Johnny, cry ing now hysterically, was placed in her care till his mother should come ana tea dun catnip tea. nnt'ne was up again when at five o’clock the big wagon drove into the yard, and in the children’s excitement lived it all over again. The emigrant wagon was nowhere to be seen, ambit-waft not till some weeks afterward, when the boy was brought up for Iriafy that he confessed to having stiffen away from it, intending to nfifll Mr. Carter’s hen house, and, in the shed, had seen* the money which tempted him. , Johnny at ouce 4i/haryrin the neighborhood, ,and Ottawa, tod, where hfHnidto a witness.
