OUR SHORT STORY.
OUR SHORT STORY. 7 p A BAD QUARTER OF AN HOUR. CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY, I I I did not answer a word. for I saw that the eighi of the dagger rad excited him. and knew the time for action had arrived. Jane, I however, dropped the wool and uttered a faint cry. which caused him to turn towards her, and after regarding her steadily for a moment, say: "Do not be alarmed, my good girl, I shall not touch you. No doubt you will have a long life before I am sent for you." "I have not finished my work yet; won't you I wait a little longer?" I at last managed to say in the most soothing tones I could com- mand. "Xo! not a moment," he shouted, his eyes flashing like fire. as, with a horrible laugh, he gave the chair upon which he had been lean- ing a violent push from him and rushed towards me. Jane uttered a loud shriek and flew to the door; while I, dropping my balls of wool, which rolled in every direction, sprang behind the table. He sprang after me, and round and round it we flew. It was too dreadful to laugh, and yet, in spite of my fright, I could almost have done so; it must have looked so very ridiculous. In a minute we stopped, and stood, at opposite ends of the long table, regarding each other intently, but never saying a. word. Then, waving the horrid, glittering thing in the air. until the jewels flashed in the bright gas-light, he made another "rIBh for me, and away we went again, over antimacassars, books, burnt almonds, etc., which by this time had all reached the floor. At last, when I was nearest the door, which Jane had left open, I turned and made a sudden dash for it. With an awful cry he sprang after me, and that moment would certainly have been my last-for it was a very long room. and he would have caught me directly-but for my beloved shawl, in which, by a sudden turn, he entangled his foot, and the next minute I was on the other side of the door. had shut it. and shot the little brass bolt that mother has had placed on all the sitting-room doors at the top. How I managed it I don't know, for I am very small, and the doors are very high. Mother, who always goes herself last thing at night to fasten them, has to do it with Bob's stick It was hardly done, and I was waiting to gather breath, when the handle was viclently turned; and then such an attack on the door began that I hastily fled to the kitchen, where the maids, in a horrid state of fright, were just preparing to barricade the door with the dresser. They received me with shrieks and floods of tears, and were evi- dently much relieved to find me still alive. "Xow, look here." I said, "I don't know how Ion- that bolt will hold. and he might get out through the window, so I am going to run to his house and tell the people there where he is. One'of yon must come with me." Nobody dared to stay in the house, and so it ended in us all three going as fast as we could to the one over the way. I thought it safer to go the back way. in case the unfor- tunate creature got out and returned home. It took us some time to find the door in the dark and rain. and. as we had not waited to wrap ourselves up. the wind seemed to cut through us like knives. I gave a loud knock, which was immediately answered by an old man. "Your master is at our house!" I gasped. "Will you come to him at once? I left him fastened in the breakfast-room, but we don't know what he is doing." "Thank God!" he exclaimed; "yes, miss, we will come at once. We had only just missed him, and were in a dreadful state; the master away, and all." In a few minutes we were on our way home again, accompanied by the old man-to whom I related what had occurred-and another, who looked very like a keeper. I took them in the front way, and when we got near the house we saw that the breakfast-room win- dows were all shut and unbroken. As we entered the hall I gave a hasty glance at the door; it was still closed; that dear little bolt had held! I pointed the room out to the men, and then retreated a few steps up the stairs, where, when the door was opened. I could' look straight in. for by this time I was really very anxious to see what my prisoner was doing. i The old man unfastened the door and peered in. AJi! what a sight presented itself! I do not think there were half-a-dozen things left uninjured. The mantelpiece was swept clear of all its ornaments; the great glass above it was smashed into a thousand fragments; the book-case doors had shared the same fate. and the books were scattered all over the room, mingling with the broken glass, pieces of the chandelier, and all that remained of my beau- tiful great Blue John vases, of which I was so proud. But I hardly noticed these things at first; all I saw was my late prisoner, stand- ing, tall and stately, among the ruin he had created, looking quietly into the fire. "Oh! Master Valentine! Master Valentine; what have, you been doing?" I heard the old man exclaim in a voice of deep distress. "Didn't I bring you word only this morning that orders had come down nobody was to be touched for the next ten days at least, unless voa heard further?" The young man raised his head on hearing the door open, but on seeing who it was turned back agaidij without speaking, to his contemplation of the fire. and not a. word did he utter, although the poor old servant almost wept as he looked round the room, and then at his young master; and implored him to come home quietly. For some time he took no notice; at last he moved, and, without looking to the right or left, walked out of the room, across the hall, to where I was stand- I ing, as I had thought unobserved, in the shadow of the stairs, and paused straight in front of me. Somehow or other I did not feel in the least afraid of him now, for when I gave a hasty glance up at his dark face I saw that the fierce fire had died out of his eyes, and he looked so quiet and sad that suddenly a great pity filled my heart instead. After all, he was so young, and so terribly, terribly afflicted. "I must go now; yon see my gaolers have arrived," he said. waving his hand in the direction of the men. "You had a chance to- night of being free; but you would not take it. Well," he added gently, after a moment's pause, "will you shake hands with me and say good-bye?" "Of course I will." I cried, putting my hands into his. and looking up at him, although I knew my eyes were full of tears, I was so dreadfully sorry for him. "Good-bye, and try not to think so much about the 'Reaper.' He shook his head, and bending down sud- denly. kissed my hand; then turned and walked straight out into the wind and rain, followed by the men. Directly they had gone Jane and cook rushed to lock. bolt, and bar the hall door, and then give vent to their feelings in tears and shrieks. I left them to indulge in this mournful pleasure to their hearts* content; and feeling far too excited and TMtteto to stay quietly anywhere, wan- dered up and down, looking if the window catches and door-bolts were all fastened. It seemed exactly as if I were in some horrible dream, and could not awake from it. until I came to the breakfast-room, and. entering, locked round on the scene of devastation. Holding my skirts out of the way of the broken glass, I made a tour of inspection. It was really dreadful to see what an amount of destruction one man could accomplish in so short a time. I was standing contem- plating the remains of my poor shawl, when something glittering behind the door attracted my attention. I went to ascertain what it was, and there, deeply buried in the hard wood. was the dagger with the jewelled hilt. Of course, my mother was very much alarmed when she returned home and heard my adventure. She said she should always keep what was left of the shawl, as it had saved my life. I suggested that the little bolt had something to do with it; and Harry offered to take it off the door carefully if we wanted to preserve it. The boys were pleased to say they thought I had been very plucky, and, when I came to think of it. I believe I was. on the whole; but I have made up for it ever since by exhibitions of the most dread- ful cowardice. Anyone coming quietly behind my chair nearly sends me into fits, and the hall door closed gently causes me to seek instant night—"Anywhere, anywhere; under the sun." Tiles did not return home rntil next morn* ing, and then in a state which convinced us that cheering his oil mother must have been a remarkably thirsty occupation. We are now without his valuable services, and have lost all trust in man; but that will not be for Ion*. I fancy. Early next day Sir Valentine Dupres, the poor youn gfellow's father, called, Hs seemed greatly distressed at what had occurred, and said he should never forgive himself for not having taken further pre- cautions. It appeared he had been away the night before, and had only returned on receiv- ing a telegram from his old servant. Thosa left in the house had on!y missed Mr. Dupres a few minutes before we arrived. Having a, sitting-room upstairs, and fond, when his father was away, of being alone, they thought he was quite safe there, until the old man. soing up. fouad the room deserted, and the window wide open, with a ladder against it. He must have arranged it all. his poor father said. and have placed the ladder there when he was out in the garden in the afternoon. We were very sorry for Sir Valentine Duprea., for this was his only child, and had shown himself to be wonderfully clever; but about four years before my adventure he had a violent sunstroke while in India. He came home on leave, and was getting better, when he was thrown from his horse and his head fearfully injured; since then he had never been well, but kept getting more and mora strange and melancholy, until at length ho became possessed with the idea. that he was "The Reaper. Death"; and for the last few- months had been so peculiar in his ways that proper attendants had to be procured for him. "I sincerely trust your daughter will soon recover from her fright," ended Sir Valentine. "I am really to blame for it. and hope she will forgive me, for my poor lad is not respon- sible. I ought to have had him placed in some safe retreat, but he is all I have; and I gia an old fool, and cannot bear to part with him We went abroad soon after this, for, some. how or other, we did not feel as if we could settle down again; and both my mother and I seemed to have lost all faith, even in bolta and bars, after it grew dark. So we travelled for some time, and at last arrived in Rome for Easter. And one day, when I was waiting for the rest of my party to go for a ride. I happened to take up an English paper, and was looking carelessly over it, when I saw among the obituary notices the one: "On the 10th instant, at Valentine, only son of Sir Valentine Dupres, aged 27." It seemed very sad; he was so young, too. and now hi. poor father will be all alone. And yet I havo felt delightfully safe ever since.

* THE TAILOR KNEW.
THE TAILOR KNEW. A young man had himself measured for 9 new suit of clothes. When he got his clothes from the tailor he discovered that there was no watchpocket in the waistcoat. "What is the meaning of this?" asked the indignant customer. "Meaning of what?" "Why, this waistcoat has no watch-pocket. Why didn't you make the waistcoat like the old one I sent you as a pattern? It had a watch-pocket." "I know the old waistcoat bad a. watch- pocket, but as I found nothing but a pawn. ticket in it for your watch, I didn't see what use you were going to have for a watchpocket.
HE WAS READY.
HE WAS READY. Some thirty years ago a sailor visited foe the first time in his life the theatre in Rostock, on the eve of his departure on a long voyage. The opera of "Ma-saniello" was given that night. The sailor went into the gallery and listened with the greatest attention. When Masaniello had reached the middle of the "slumber song," the crowded gallery broke down, and a good many people were severely injured. Our sailor, being a good hand at climbing, got hold of one of the pillars and escaped unhurt. Thinking it, no doubt, part of the performance, he appeared to enjoy the thing immensely. Four years afterwards ho returned to Rostock, where he heard that "Masaniello" was to be given again. "That's a grand piece, mates; we're bounet to go* and see it!" he said to three or four seamen, who accompanied him to the gallery of the theatre. When the fatal "slumber song" began he rubbed his hands, and smiled a knowing smile, and before "Masaniello" had got to the middle he cried out: "Now, mates, stick fast, it's going to begin!" and firmly grasped one of the pillars as though fully expecting a repeti- tion of the former catastrophe.
"ONE 0' YER AIN."
"ONE 0' YER AIN." Dick and Andy were comrades in one of one Highland regiments stationed in Edinburgh Castle. They had been down at Glasgow for a few days (with leave), and next day found them out of sorts, out cf cash. and long since out of credit. They dressed and went out together in hopes of meeting a Christian, but for at time fortune seemed against them. They were sauntering along Morningside* road, when all at once Andy fell flat on the pavement, foaming at the mouth and kick* ing furiously. A crowd soon gathered round, and a kind lady from the window of a villa opposite, see. ing the state of matters, sent out her servant maid with a tumbler half filled with brandy. Raising his head a little they held the spirits to his lips, the taste of which seemed to work wonders, for he at once seized the glass in his hand, and was in the act of draining off the contents when Dick shouted in his ear: "Andy, Andy, weel ye no leave me a wee drappie?" Dick: "D'ye think I was born yesterday6 G'wa mon, a.n' talk a fit o* yer ain."
