"Yea/* was the reply, in a woman's voice— he voice, Ltn* knew,of Parkins, Mrs. Harrington'* model. *»t-voieed, lady-like nurse "and there won't be auy truubte ttxxit it, becatttw I b*ve«*t the women go away to *tav all night, and went the gardener on a fool a errand to tnitttea' brother's, twenty miles off."

The voices grew fainter. Evidently the. speaker* were moving away from the bouse. But Una had beard enough. Hick with terror she leaned against the pantry wall a moment, and tried to think. What did it ail mean Bobbery, murder! And no help near. Her llrHt instiuct wa* to lly out of the house and aero*s the Ueld to the hall. But her absence would be instantly discovered, she knew, aud then poor Aunt Margaret would le alone with these wretches. No, she mual not go—but to stand here idle would d« no good.

ret horrible doubts came to her as 3T th«} note would reu.-h him. It
might be lost, or Leo migiu wander about and not get home until was too late.
Too late! Lina shuddered and sobbed again she thought what .at might mean. Ob, it was bard to think of dying so helplessly, so horribly, with help so uear.
The long minutes crept on, and no sound came until eleven o'clock had passed. The little Hock softly chimed tbe half hmir. Then, in a few minutes, came a sound of stealing footsteps in the passage, and the knob of the door was *oftly turned.
Breathless tilenco in the room. Then a gentle tap at tbe door. Lina clasped Aunt Margaret a hand convulsively,and the old lady spoke. "What is that?" sbe asked, stendily. "It is me. Parkins, ina'm. Would you ask Miss I^eigh if she will kindly open the door? I have tbe toothache, and want some laudanum." "What a devil it ia!" whispered Aunt Margaret. Then aloud: "Go down stairs and get something. Parkins, I csanuot trouble Miss Leigh."
Lina hoped that Parkins wonld urge the point a little. Anythiug to prolong tbe parley aud gain time.
But a whisper in the passage followed, and then a man's voice: "Ladies, there's no use making a row. Just open the door peacefully, and you shan't be hurt. We 11 break it down if you don't." "What do you want?" Lina asked, hoping to gain a little time. Anew and gruff voice answered, insolently: "You know well enough what we wants, miss. We wants the thousand pounds aud the diamonds, and we mean to have them. So don't be a fool, but just open the door peacefully, or you'll be sorry."
Lina sprang to her feet and seized the pistol. A flood of color rushed to her cheek and brow. Sbe bad been insulted and threatened, and indignatiou overpowered terror. Sbe went toward the door and called out, quickly and clearly: "You're not coming in. I have sent for help, and Sir Robert and his men will be here directly. I am armed, and if you do break the door down I will shoot you lik«a dog."
A moment's silence followed, then a coaise laugh, and— "All gammon. She hadn't no one to send.
Break

bled and cracked beneath the battery. A pane broke, and a man's hand was thrust iu the whole door seemed about to fall when—bang! bang! came two report's from Lina's pistol, and a couple of bullets crushed through tbe panels, and the basiegers paused abruptly. "Go away instantly, cried the girl's clear voice, "or I'll tire again. "One more rush, mato, and we are in," yelled the gruff voice outside.
What followed was wild tumult and confusion, the crash of breaking panels aud bolts, tho fall of the door and the furniture Liua bad piled against it, shot after shot from Li na's pistol, a yell of paiu and rage from both of them. The door was down. One of the men was in tho room. Llna had flred her last shot, and, running to the bed, snatched Aunt Margaret pistol, and turned to face the enemv. Suddenly came a wild shriek from" Parkins—then a voice calling: "Lina! Lina! I am coming! and Sir Hotiert de Rossett hurled himself boldly upon the rulllan outride tbe door, pn.sstratod him, and sprang into his room over his b»dv.

Two months later, when Parkins and tho men were brought to trial. Aunt Margaret walked into the witness box and gave her testimony with grim directness and sell-possession. Lina gave her's with much trembling and some tears, but sho looked intensely loving, and no «-ne wondered that Sir Robert was going to marry her.

THK OLD PLANTATION XKURO. Among tho pathetic figures in the south are the old plantation negroes whom the downfall of slavery left without homes or means of support at a time of life when tbey could do little or nothing to hrlp themselves. An Atlanta gentleman is preparing to raise a fund for tb# fsfci&blifihnient of horn© for then© aged relics of the pmt. "Keptinslav erv," says the Atlanta Constitution, "until they were too old to adapt themselves the new order of things—turned pennites? on the world when tbe old limbs were too stiff and weak for efficient work, without sons able or willing to support them, simple-minded, affectionate, sincere--there is much in tbeir ratable condition to excite sympathy.

With' the following letter a Sd6 importer went to Dr. F. H. Hamilton for in formation: •.

whistles. Shook! 1 brfeak-her of it? It so, bow? Will it do her any harm? Ought a glrf to whistle* Do a good many gins whistle Khe says they do.
Dr. Hamilton said he knew of nodiffereuce between the vocal chords, bronchial tubes, or lungs of women and those of men that sbould make theyouog man's sister necessarily a poorer whistler than the young man himself. He didn't see any reason why a woman shouldn't be even a better .whistler than some men, if she should give her whole mind *o it. As to wbetner they did whistle or not, he declined to be considered an authority and as to why they didn't or conldn't, or shouldn't, or wouldn't, he modestly affirmed tbat he was not a sufficient philosopher to determine, and that be would prefer to leave it to somebody else.
I)r. A. B. Mott^said, "Why, of course, plenty of womert whistle. {uileenough of them, 1 should say. Don't you know that old French proverb that *a dancing parson, a crowing hen, and a whistling girl never come to ga#QI* Pilot iFis all a matter of habit .and aasocialion in youth. 1 very uuicn dOubtifanv girl that is reared 'in Wfamily wilhoutMtoys about tbe hoiwe ever learns to whistle, On tbe other hjlid, a girl will* brothers, particularly inlhejr are older than herself, will tie ray likely to pick it up. But when BhegtitaJto be a you ag worna sbe will give it up4-aimply beeauae it is not regarded as a T^ylike aoea^wpli.shment. I say 'sue wirif .when f^b%*&^ps I should rather say *1 stfp|»ose «KSxwill.' At all events she-will t%&hy ol letting young men liqar her wTOStliqg. There is no physioil reason why a girl should not whistle arf*wellaa a boy^not at least until sbe begirt*squeezing neraelf short of breath with eorsets. And IdWSpld be better for her health if she did do more loud noise utaking, even whistling, In her youth foir the developing of ber lungs, than sbe is accustomed lo."
Dr. Stephen. W. Roof said: "Well, while I eannofftay that I have beard a girl emulate boy's proudest whistling achievement—-whicb is to jam his two fore-fingers Into bis mouth until he gets a good hold oA
IJIS
back teeth, or some
where, and then let off an ear piercing noto that woujfdjsbameasteatn whistle— still I have li«trd a good many girls whistle quite niply. 1 dont't see why they shouldn't, from any iiygienic or physiological reasons,auy way# It might be'a good thing for them to whittle. One great consideration would be that while thev were whistling they couldn't be talking. Perha[|i that is tba reason they are not qfteuer heard whistling. But if you happen to be about when they think themselves alone, you wi'l very often hear tbera ^whistle. I think girls in tho coundry whistle more tba)u those in the city—that is, they do so more generally. But the popular prejudice against it is such that women, as a rulej pretend it would be impossible for them eo whistle. Lots of imen would be very much surprised to*knuw-how well fheir wives can whistle.
f"
A lady who was flaked about it, said frankly: "If v*n't. expoee ine,l ll prove Lo you 'JSftt one woman you krifow can whistle. «Hnd Pll tell you why women don't whistle usually where men are, Their lips don't look pretty when puckered up tor a whistle, and they cannot when whistling, smile to show their teeth if they have a tino set. Surely those are reasf-ihs why women don't want In i«»*»»,«» Uw»*i AAiJwMtn.maiv^wUclx them at It. And yet it is agooa tBfhg. You have got to use a good deal of lung power to get out a clear, line whistle, and tho rno/e you use, the more vou will have. Do I know an society ladies who whistle privately? Why, yes, a score of them. TeU you who they are. No, indeed. What would become of use women if we welt telling things about each other?

"Whi( men*" he says, "must wrap themives up In thick garments, ana encastbe whole in a stout overcoat to shut It the cold, women in thin silk dretN, with neck and shoulders partialis covered, say they are perfectly comftable!

CLBA2TIXG CARPETSi^ *f Domestic Monthly. In all our experiments we have found nothing so safe and serviceable as bran slightly moistened, only very slightly, just sufficient to hold the particles together. In this case it is not necessary to stop and clean the broom every few minutes. Sweeping the carpet after the bran has been sprinkled over it not only cleans the carpet and gathers all the dirt into the brau but keeps the broom clean at the same time. If too much dampened, aside from injuring tbe carpet, it makes the work harder, because the bran becomes very heavy if very damp. The bran should be sifted evenly over tbe floor and then the room swept as usual. The bran scours and cleanses tbe whole fabric, very little dust is made while sweeping with it, and scarcely any settles on furniture, pictures, etc., after the work is accomplished because every particle of dirt, thread, bits of paper, or lint is gathered up into the mass of bran that is being moved over the floor, and so thoroughly incorporated with it that it will not be'easily separated. Carpets swept in this way retain very little dust, as will be plainly demonstrated whenever they are taken up to bs shaken.
NEWSPAPERS IN SCHOOLS. At a teachers, meeting in Pennsylvania the other day, Superintendent Luckey, of tbe Pittsburg public schools, opposed the use of tbe spelling book. When a word stood bv itself it was dead, he said when put into a sentence it bad life and a spelling book generally did more barm than good. Hesidiculod the popular method of teaching elocution, and declared that pupils could deliver the speeches of Webster, Calhoun and. Clay finely, butwben asked to read a newspaper could not do so intelligently. He advocated tho reading of newspapers in schools, aud stated that in the Pittsburg
