cane. The landlord came cat, and calling a boy to take the horse and sleigh to the barn, be ushered Mr. Spencer and his daughter into a pleasant sitting room, where a bright fire was burning on the hearth, which proved very acceptable to our travelers, who had been in the sleigh since morning. "Yoar room will be ready by suppertime, sir," said the landlord, as he Jeft the room and went into the bar room.

Supper was shortly announced, and after retreshing themselves Mr. Spencer and Carrie returned to the cozy sitting room where they chatted until half-past eight. Toey were then shown to tneir room, whicn was in the second story, in a wing Homewhat remote from the main portion of the tavern.

The room was very long, with a high ceiling. On one side was a window, and on the other was a door. Just above the door was a bust of King George III. The room was plainly furnished, containing two beds, a washstand and several old chairs.

Carrie took in the whole room at a glance and it must be confessed that had there not been cheerful lire burning she would have lelt nervous about sleeping there. As it was, a warm glow lit up tlie room into .comparative cheerfulness.

While wbe and her father sat by the fire her eyes wandered to the bust over the door, when she noticed that the eyeballs evident.y had been knocked out, leaving two empty spaces. "Woll, Carrie," said Mr. Spencer, presently, "I think you had better lock the door I am going to count my money."

After Carrie had done so he drew out a money belt, heavy with bills, and proceeded to count them. While he was doing so Carrie's eyes involuntarily wandered again to the bust, when to her horror and astonishment, in place of the empty spaces were two glittering eyes, greedily watching every movement ot her father.

The youqg girl could hardly suppress a scream but soon controlling herself, she looked toward the lire, while her father went on counting a large roll of bills. "I must have been mistaken," the fair girl tbonglit, "What could make me have such a itrange fancy, though?" she continued, glanc.ng again at the bust.

The eyes were still- there—two burning, savage eyes, that brightened as Mr. Spencer went on counting. "Good heavens!" thought Carrie— "what shall we do? We are evidently in a horrible den of thieves, and will be murdered for my poor father's money!"

FOR THE

PEOPLE.

^The' Eyes in The Bust.

In the Winter of 1842 a cenifcuian and his daughter, a young lady, while trav«eliug through 'Canada arrived, about ^nightfall at an old fashioned tavern. 'Tke gentleman concluded to stop there "^instead of going on to the village of ten miles aistaut, and which they had thought to reach. The daughter, Carrie, •x pressed her willingness, as the tavern her! ... presented a comfortable appearance, and He ran to the window, followed by they alighted, when it was plainly to be the landlord. seen the gentleman was quite lame, so

noticing it, Carrie could not think denly a bright idea came to her, "Father," she said alond, "let me take

Her father betrayed no emotion while he read it, but said "You are pretty extravagant, Carrie. 1 suppose you think your lather is made of money." And he rose and wont to the washstand, which was in a dark corner.

Once there, he glanced toward the bust, and the glance confirmed his daughter's extraordinary statement, but when he eame back to his seal Carrie saw that the eyes were gone. Then leading toward her father, sue said, in a low toue: "You see it is as I said. I have thought of a plan, however, by which we can both e.seapc. 'ion would be perfectly helpless iu an afl'ray of any kind, on account of your lauie leg so 1 must try to save us both."

Then followed a whispered consultation, duriug which Carrie kept her eyes lixed on the bust but the glittering orbs had not come back. As she concluded Carrie went to tho window, threw it opon im. »ked out. Beckoning to her fathv came, she »aid, or rather hisp. *v u: "You see this shed, father? Well they will probably come up on it and get through tho window. 1 do not think they will make the attack before twelvo so 1 will g»t out of this window, jump lrom this shed, go to the barn and take our horse aud go to S for help."

Flinging a wrap over her alight tig re, she embraced her father tenderly, snd bidding him not worry over her. she jumped lightly out on iheshed and dis-

*pirSpencer watched her a while, then closing the window, took out his watch, saw that it was nine o'clock, and proceeded to work. He first covered up the fire, blew out the light, and rolled ap a blauket, with whioh he made a dummy. This he placed in the bed which nis daughter was to occupy. Then he sat down and waited.

Teu, fifteen, twenty mlnutee went by, and no sound came from the vicinity of the barn. Taking off his boots, he crept noiselessly to the window and peeped out, but could a«M uotbing. Taen creeping to tho \va«distand, he laid his money belt in the drawer and closed It. He, then thiow himself on the bed Mid once more wailed.

After an hour had apparently went by, Mr. Spacer throw of hia coat and' vest, tumbled up the bed, hobbled to the aoor, unlocked St and stepped oat into the hall. This was all in accord* anoe with Carrie's plan. ••"Landlord landlord!" he shouted. 7" He then went back into the room and noiselessly threw up the window, ail thj time shouting tor the landlord.

That worthy oame flying up the stabs, and late aa it was, he was stil dressed. "Oh, landlord!" gasped Mr. Spencer, rushing toward him, "I

"Who could have stolen it?" groaned Mr. Spencer. "I bad five thousand dol lars iu a bell, and it is gone—stolen!"

The landlord lit the candle and looked around, chagrin depicted on every feature. "Why don't you wake your daughter, sir?"

Mr. Spencer hurried to the bed. "Carrie! Carrie!" he called, bnt no answer came and the landlord, drawing near with the light, saw the dummy and cried: "Why, man, the girl Isn't there!" ii\ "What?" gasped Mr. Spencer. "Oft, I see it all! The wicked girl has robbed me while I slept, and run off to meet her lover, from whom I was taking

much so that he was obliged to use a snow on the shed!" cried the landlord, while Mr. Spenser groaned aloud. '!How long do you think she has been gone, sir?" asked the landlord. "Fer an hour or more, the deceitful jade!" replied Mr. Spencer. "Then there's no use to look for her, sir," said the landlord. "Oh, but I must!" cried Mr. Spencer, as be began to descend the stair-way, followed by the landlord, who had believed every word Mr. Spencer said.

They proceeded to the barn, followed by the landlord's confederates. They found the horse gone, and her mode of jligbt was easily explained. •'You may as well give her up, sir," said the landlord, consolingly. "I suppose I may," groaned Mr. Spencer, as they returned to the house.

As they left the barn he heard the landlord whisper to one of his confeder-

"The job's up, Sam. We'd better let the old man alone." Once more (entering the room, Mr. Spencer threw himself upon the bed and awaited the return of his brave daugh~ ter. "God bless her and bring her back in safety," he murmured.

Meanwhile all grew still, and the hours rolled by. The fire had been raked up, and crackled- on merrily: The eyes were not looking from the bust tbey had evidently disappeared l'or^ the night.

At last, after what appeared an age to the anxious watcher, he heard a loud knocking on the front entrance, and five minutes afterward heard the landlord stumble to the door. Then followed a confused jumble of curses, struggles, and a rash of many feet up the long hall and stairway.

The next moment the door was thrown open and his daughter rushed in, followed by the officers, who dragged in toe landlord and his confederates, "Oh, father, you are safe, safe!" she cried, throwing her arms around his neck and bursting into happy tears.

The sheriff and his/oa«e of men held the landlord and his confederates in a vise-like grasp, while Carrie related the adventures of her perilous ride. "After I left the barn I led Tommy to a fence, all unsaddled, sprang on him, wound my arms tightly around his neck and whispered 'Go, Tommy,' and away he went like the wind. Up and down over the frozen road we went. My arms felt like ioe I thought I should certainly freeze, and after what seemed to bo an age of cold, aud pain, and misery, we dashed into the main street of S As we came up in front of tho tavern the stage drove up, arid the inmates sprang out and rushed to my assistance.

Go to the opposite corner of the room, where your face will oo in the dark, and look at Utio Dust aOoveltie door. In it you will see two glittering eyes that have watched you count your money." "K«ad it," fchosald aloud, handing the card to her lather. "I want to see if ou think I am too extravu^uii."

and spirit iu arousing the sheriff and his men, has been the main cause in bringing assistance."

Mr. Spencer grasped the young man's hand and thanked him "Your plan succeeded admirably, Carrie," ho said and advancing to the washstand, he towk out tho money belt, saying, "my money is all light, as you see."

Tho landlord quivered with rago as he siw how completely lie had been defeated.

As the nion began to search tho room tho landlord protested his innocence, declaring that tboy had no right to hold him or Ins men prisoners, or to search the house.

Breaking open the door above which was the bust, the men rushed in. The room was empty, eave a long ladder which reached a shelf above the door. A hole above the shelf disclosed the bust to be brokeu In half, so that a man could easily climb up the ladder, get on tho shelf, thrust his head in the bust, which was large enough for an ordinary man's head, aud see all that was going on in theadjoiniug room.

This certainly looked suspicious, but absolute proof was yet wanting. On returning to the room occupied by Mr. Spencer, they again searched every nook and corner. Suddouey Carrie and Mr, James, who had boon standing by the fireplace, gavo loud cry, for ou close examination they had found spots of blood ou tho bricks that formed the hearth.

They began to pull up the bricks, which proved loose, wbou Carrie, foci iug taint, gave way to the sheriff aud his men, who soon had them ail pulled up, when a cavity was disclosed, containing the murdered body of a gentleman whom Mr. Janes and the sheriff remembered to have stopped at 8 three days before. The evidence was conclusive.

The landlord and his confederates were well guarded through the night, and the next day they were lodged iu Jail. In due time they were sentenced and suffered the extreme penalty of the laW.
