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 tliiug shall run in tho family, not if I can help it.’ ‘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 ho attacking them now!’ 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 erty!’—with a long breath—‘there comes tho poor, crazy creature out with a hop, skip and a jump.

Fresh nmortment of ONPEOTION Large and \kely Filled Sample lliwins Asruss GOOD BEST BRANDS OF s 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.— Ex.
