“ Let the poor men lssvs their large pack-

in. “and have it put into tbs ants-room un-

Mildred assent“. and in disregard of
the frowns and matches idoks of the but-
ler. ordered the pack to be carried into a
little room near the entrance. This was
done and glad and thankful was I to see the
door bolted and barred behind the formidable
strangers. It scented to use a dangerous
risk in our thinly peopled household. to ad-
mit two strangers at that time of the even-

about the ball in a surreptitious manner.

with us in the ball. and bad at first began to

from Mildred. I saw tbs maid‘scrvsnt who

departure of the men in barring the door.

Later in the evening I met her on the

when it was lying on the ball flower. and

I smiled and telling ilarrlet " not to be

cousins. I told them what IIarrlet had said
to no. and proposed going to take s look It
the mysterious package.
Taking s lamp with us. we proceeded to
the little apartment wherein it was placed.
It lay on a wooden settle. which stood on
on one side of the room. It was enveloped
in s brown wrapper. was very long. and
thicker at the middle than at the two or
trentltlcs. Somehow I did not like the
looks of it at all; but tuv fears were :sf
such avaguc nature that I did not like to
express them. As we crossed tltc hall on
our return to the sitting room we. encoun-
tered Harriet. who was hovering about with
a very uneasy and mysterious expression on
her face.
" What is the umttet. ll trrrct I“ asked
Mildred.
“0! Misc. latu so frightened about that
pack! I cannot rest. and I am sure I cannot
go to bed while it is ill the house i“
“You are very ridiculous. llnrricl.“ rcpllcd
Janet. "1 am sure the men were very rc~
spectahle looking lcdivldaals. only two simp-
meu. We have just been looking ttt the
puck and it did not move though I gave its
good squeeze. I am sure there is nothing
in it to alarm you.“
Ilarrict looked very pztlc and shook her
head very warniugly.
Ten o‘clock came. and my cousins and I
were thinkingcf bcialtlug ourselves to our
sleeping apartments. when we heard a door
in the hull violently shut and locked. Itn-
tuctlialcly afterwards Harriet rushed in up-
on us and sank on the nearest chair in vio-
lent bystcrics. She was speedily followed
by the butter. looking pompous and still as
over. but with s certain expression of ua~
quiet on his fat. grave face.
“ What is the matter. Jones?" asked Mll~
drcd. starting to her feet. “ Tell us quickly.
Do try to be quiet. Harriet."
“0. the pack is alive!" shrlskcd Harriet.
“Hush. Harriet.“ said Mildred calmly:
"lot Jones tell us. I heard you look a door.
It was that of the stateroom. in which this
unfortunate pack is placed. I suppose I"
“ It wag Miss.“ replied Jones. sententious-
ly; “ and the do; is in the ball." be added.
“ So far good.“ said Mildred composedly.
“ And how. pray. do you know the pack is

“ You see. Mlssfi‘ replied Jones. “ ever
since that pack has been left here. llurrlct
has been in adistractcd state of mind—
frightened out of her senses. in fuel.“
“ I saw the thing move when it was laid
in the ball!“ subbed Harriet.
“ Go on. Jones.“ interposed Janet.
Jones continued:
“ So bstcre I went to bed. ulna Harriet
persuaded me to come and take another
look at the package. You k now I did not

added.
“ Never mind that.“ said Mlldrot . “ tell us
what you have even."
“ Well. Miss. I thought it was great non-
sense. but I went. We took hold of the
bundle. and turned it about a little. but
could make nothing of it. Pussntly Har-
riet found a snail hole in the wrapper. Sits
pulled the rent rather more open and looked
in. I saw her face change. She turned
and drew me out of the room. pulled tbs

us politely.

p‘ossc‘sl it strong consciousness of something
being amiss
Jones opened the little door of the room
quietly. and went in and placed his lamp on
a small side table which stood near. Then
at once. danger and ropes in his band. in
walked towards the pack. which still lay on
the settle: but I now observed that there
was one or two cpcnlnns in the wrapper.
There was a deep silence among us for a
moment or two. interrupted only by the
low urowllugs of the dog. who become utan
lfcstly more and more uneasy. and was with
anal difficulty restrained from rushing into
the room. 'l‘lton cstue a scene of noise and
confusion. Jones reached the the pack. and
throwing the ropes over his arm. and still
clutching the dagger. stooped to inspect the
slit in the wrapper when Harriet had so-
sorted sbe had seen an eye. At that uto-
ntent one of the most fearful and terrible
yells I had ever heard broke from between
the folds of the wrapper. The pack strun-
nled violently. tltclt rolled over and fell
heavily to the ground. while a choked voice
begged for mercy; at the same time a knife
was seen cndcavoriuu to cabal an opening.
The screams of the servants. the hysterical
suits of Janet. and the loud bowling and
whinings of the clan. who was still restrain-
ed by Mildred front rushing frantically
into the room. made a dirt that I never can
forget.
I remember that Jones alottc looked very
«imposed and unmoved throughout. Before
the man in the puck had time to free hint-
sclf from the wrapper. Jones bud managed.
desp‘tc his opponent‘s struggles. to puss the
ropes several times round and round him
and to secure him. By the time he had no-

and two of the scrvnttts—-—lhc terrified “db

The pack presented a very ludicrous sp-

figure of a man apparently of itbout thirty

around him. [In ltud u long. pule face. it

to answer any question.
“ Soc. be has got a wltlatlc.“ cried one of
the servants.
Jones instantly seized it. and after a few
utomeuts‘ consideration. beckoned Mildred
out of the room. I followed.
“ Young ladies." ltc sulti. “the mm is now
quite secure. and his accomplices will cor-
taluly not attempt to enter much before
midnight. I expect the whistle was to have
been the signal. Would you be afraid. if I
slipped down to the coaobutnn‘s house. and
got his wife to send one of her boys into the
village for assistance? We could then prob
ably secure all the villiaus.”
“But you muy be attacked by them on the
wily.“ urged Mildred.
“No fear. Miss; I can slip unseen behind
the shrubs in the durkncs."
“ Go then. and quickly." snltl Mildred.
“ You are sure that the men is quite safely
bound l“
“ Quite so. Miss: but perhaps you would
like to ask the eminent of the household be-
fore I leave you." ,
Mildred soon oblulncd our consent to the
plan and Jones was cautiously let out of a
small side door. In about twenty minutes—
wbiclt had seemed like two hours to us—he
returned. end his low tap was instantly su-
swered.
“ It is all right.” he said: “ I have seen
and heard nothing of the two men. The
boy is sharp enough; be has his directions.
and is to bring a party from the village to
this door by the semi way that I took.“
More than on hour passed away: then a
low tsp was again beard. and six men inp-
pesrcd accompanied by the boy who had-
bsou sent to bring them.
About midnight Jones opened the shut~
tors of a casement window in the hall and
blew a loud whistle; the whistle was re-
spondcu to by another. and two men pres-
cntly appeared at the open casement.
Jones drew back into the darkness of the
hall. and silently allowed theta to enter
