AN HOUR OF PERIL.
‘If you please, ina'ain,’ said Bet
sy, the hired help, presenting her
self in the doorway with her arms
dripping with hot soapsuds, her
calico skirts festooned about her
spare form in a way which Worth
could never have imagined, ‘there
i* nn insane man in the barn.’
I had just settled myself comfor
tably down to tny morning task of
coloring a cluster of slender stem
med blue harebells which Donald
had brought in, n trophy of liis be
fore-breakfast walk up the moun
tain. Baby was sweetly sleeping
e.hder the pink lace draperies of
her crib. TAmray and little Donald
were fishing for minnows in the
meadow stream, and I was heartily
congratulating myself upon the
success of my idea of renting a
mountain cottage, ‘far from the
busy haunts of men,’ for the sultry
summer mouths. ,
Where,’ quoth I to myself, as I
glanced around the cool little li
brary, with its homemade hanging
butterfly patterned chintz, its Jap
anese screens and the decorated
china which 1 myself had arranged
on impromptu shelves and brackets
‘in all the dusty, heuted city, will
yog find a nook like this, with the
scent of giant pine trees floating
in at the easement, and the whist
ling of blackbirds filling up the
silence ? I declare it is enough to
inspire any one I I could almost
write a novel,-or an epie, ifitwasn’t
for baby and the children, and my
flower painting, nnd the tarts nnd
syllabubs and frozen custards that
Betsey can’t bo got to comprehend.’
Tims, lapped in Elysian dreams,
nnd secure in my own estimation,
Betsey’s announcement came like
a thunder clap upon my hearing.
I dropped my camel’s lmir pencil,
nnd sal gazing blankly upon her
ghastly countenance.
‘A—what!" I gasped.
‘An insane man, ma’am,’ said
Betsey. ‘Lenstwayr, tiiat’s what
Deacon Gadsley shouted out,
as he was a gallopin’ by on horse
back, to catch the down train, with
the mail bag, hollerin’ good nnd
loud, as lie’s aware I ain’t quick o’
licarin.’ ‘Tell yer missis,’ says be,
‘to call the children in; there's nn
insane man in the barn,’ says lie.’
‘But, Betsey,’ cried I, involun
tarily clutching at the babyVcrib,
‘it can’t be possible.’
‘That’s wliat Dcrcon Gadsley
Said, ma’am, and I’ll take my bible
oath to it,’ said Betsey, nodding
her head, witli u countenance ex
pressive of entire confidence.
•Then why didn’t lie come to our
help?’ 1 exclaimed, wringing my
hands helplessly.
•Don’t know, ma’am,’ said Bet
sey, ‘unless it was because the
mail train, like time and tide in
the spelling book, waits for no
man.’
‘But what arc we to do?’ I almost
sobbed, my courage and presence
of mind almost deserting me, ns 1
pictured to myself the horrible vis-
And I don’t mean that sort of

‘Then,’ cried I. driven to sudden
resolve, ‘stay here with tho baby,
Betsey. Don’t leave her, for your
life, while I go after the hoys.
Good Heavens! if the wretch should

With almost superhuman speed
nnd swiftness I ran along the edge
of woods, seized Tommy and Don
ald each by one hand, not even
‘Stop him!’ I gasped—‘for mer
cy’s sake, 8top him!’
‘He’s a making straight for the
barn, ma’am,’said Betsey, who had
stretched the skinny length of her
neck farther out ot tho window
than I dared to do. ‘He’s heard
that feller’s hollerin’. He’s unbar
ring tlie big door. Lands o’ Lib

And pausing only to see them
flying like swift little antelopes up
tlie terraced slopes of the lawn, I
hastened with blanched cheeks and
wildly-beating heart to the barn,
and was lortunatc enough to se
cure both doors with wooden bnrs
anil outside buttons only beforo
the attention of a broad-faced,
bristly haired rullian was sufficient
ly attracted to induce him to pre
sent his moon-like countenance at
one of the stable windows.
Without liccd to his frantic ges
tures and loudly shouted words, I
flew back to tlie house, and sank,
nearly fainting, on the chintz sofa,
with botli hands over my eyes,
‘I declare, though, tlmt was real
gritty,’ was Betsey's admiring
comment, ns she hurried to bring
the camphor botttlc and red laven
dcr to my rescue.
Mamma, will lie kill us?’ said
Donald, who was a timid child,
and clung close to me,
Shall 1 cut his head oit with my
tin sword?’ shouted Tommy, tho
irrepressible.
Betsey,’I cried, raising myself
to tho paramount necessity of not
fainting, ‘place yourselt at the
window, wateli for passers-by—’
Yes, ’urn.’
Exclaim to them our dreadful
predienment,’ I went on. ‘Sum
mon help the instant it appears;
and above all, keep every door anil
casement locked nnd bolted, lest
the fiend in human shape should
break through ami attack us.
There's nn old rifle upstnirs in the
garret, isn’t there, Betsey?’! asked
with a sudden inspiration.
‘Yes, ’ura,’ said Betsey. ‘But it
ain’t just in fust-rutc working or
der, 1 calculate.’
‘There isn’t neither stock nor
lock to it, mamma,’ chimed in
H'ornmy. ’I leaded it with ashes
Inst week, and put in pebbles for
bullets, but it wouldn’t lire worth
a cent.’
‘But there’s the carving knife
and potato pounder, liininiiin,’ sug
gested Donald.
I looked at the clock. Only
eleven. It would lie six iruurs, nt
the nearest, before my husband
would return from the city.
Suppose—this was a lonely nnd
iiiitrnvclcd neighborhood, u mere
brunch from the main thoroughfare
that traversed the village like a yl
Whirl!’ roared Deacon Uadslcy.
‘Betsey said you shouted out as
you rodo by, ‘Tell your mistress to
call the children in—thero’s an in
sane man in the barn.’
‘Good Je-rusaleml’ cried the
deacon, slapping his knee, ‘how
folks will get things twisted around.
1 lie-or said no such thing. What
I did say was, ‘there’s a tamo lamb
in tbe barn.’ 1 promised one to
them boys of yours ever since they
came up here, and this morning
our lliram fetched them a regular
little cosset. And there he is
munchin’ clover down tbero with
Hiram boldin’ on to the rope. And
you supposed it was a crazy man.
llu, ha, hal Well, that docs beat
all. Ho, ho, ho!’
Tho deacon’s cncbinations echo
ed through my little parlor like re
verberations of a thunder storm. I
looked reproachfully at Betsey as
the primal cause of all tbe panic.
That damsel, however, evineed no
sign of discomfiture— it was not in
her way. >
•‘Wall,’ said Betsey, slowly, ‘I
always was a little hard of hearing,
ever since I had the scarlet fever,
twenty-two years ago come Sei>-
tember. And I suppose we are all
liable to mistakes.’
That was the end of our hour of
horror. Betsey retired to ber
washing; Deacon Gadsley went on
his way rejoicing; the children
rushed whooping out to the barn,
where Hiram, the victim of this
unfortunate misunderstanding,
stood smiling broadly, with the
tamo lamb at his side, bravely tied
up in ribbons—nnd Hooked in the
glass to see that my hair hadn’t
turned gray. For, ridiculous as it
all seems to write down in black
and white, it was a real horror at
the time.
And i never could lcok nt .the
innocent little lamb afterward
without a curious fluttering at my
heart, vaguely suggestive of tbe
npprchcnsiona l had undergone.—
