tell y on a story of ho# I once
nved my Hie. entirely through hav-
ing learned the deaf and dumb al-
phabet. -
There were two little boys who
wed to come and stay with Frank
and I, when we were first married,
¿fed they could neither hear nor speak.
They were deaf and dumb; they
ceold not talk except with their fin-
fiers, Mb only ever so much quicker.
.Fmak and I learned this foreign
alphabet on purpose that we might
understand what they said. We soon
got to talk as easily with our fingers
as our tongues, and sometimes when
thelada were not with us, Frank and
I used to converse in that manner,
whea we were alone, for practice.
It happened upon one occasion
that he had. to go to London on im-
pertant business; he was to have
goaa by an afternoon train, so that

tionary measures, that, afcr all,
might justas well have been omitted,
The Only thing, as I believe, which
saved my reason from departing alto-
gether when I first heard that terri-
ble sound, was that my mind clung
to the hope that it might be, after all,
the sneexe of a cist. Fifty cats to-

SV bed-room, where the plate was

responsible for the whole of it. It
waaacoM time and there was a fire
ia the foom, so brightahd comfortable,
that I was in no hurry to leave it
and get into bed, bnt sat up, looking
into the fi my coals, and thinking
all sorts of things; upon t\e

Vhen he should be away, for I was a
dreadful coward. It was a little
after eleven o'clock when I got into
bed, but I did. not feel the least ra-
dioed to sMÉ^Ép then, I knew
Frank wouMWSéiag to irish me
good-bye presently, and besides
there seemed to be all sorts of noises
about the room, which my foolish ears
always used to hear whenever 1 was
alone at night timé.
You jnay imagine, then, my hor-
ror, when I heard tremendous
sneeae within an inch of me, just be-
hM tha head-board of my bed, and
between that aqd the wall, where
then waa considerable space. I had
aa usual, before I put the candle out,
taken the precaution of looking every-
wlfcejMitioom where it was quite,
uapwaime any person could be nffl;
but the little alcove into which the
** pushed I had never so much
aa thought of looking, although it
w "fital hiding-plase for-any-
it
gether could not make half such a
disturbance, it is true, for it was the
of avian who sneezes in spite
and almost shook the
but the.idea sustained me
over the first shock.
The next instant the wretch had
sneeaed again, and pushing aside the
be& which tolled on castors, I felt he
beside my pillow, look-
ing at me. If Le had only given one
ha. might, perhaps, have be-
lieved me, ás I lay quite -still, breath-,
ing as regularly as I could, and pre-
tending to be asleep; but he reasoned
justly, that, unless I was deaf or
dead, I mqst have been awakened by
the second.
You're awake, marm," said he,
in a gruff voice, "and it's no use
shamming. If you don't want a tap
with thia life-preserver, just look
alíve 1"
I opened my eyes exceedingly wide
at this, and beheld a man with crape
over his face, standing over the bed;
he had a club with two knobs upon it,
in his right hand, and with the left he
pointed to the safe.
" Is the money there f" said he,
" Thp plate is," said I., in a trem-
ulous voice; "pray, take it, sir, I am
sure you are very welcome," for he
might have .everything of value in the
bouse with all my heart, provided he
left me my life.
" The money—the gold—the notes
—are they there cried he again, in
a terrible sort of whisper.
"It's all there," replied I, although
I knew nothing about it; " all except
fifteen and sixpence ia my purse, on
the dressing-table, yonder. There's'
silver mustard pots besides in the
pantiy, and a couple of candlesticks
in the study, only they are plated,
fpr I would not deceive you sir, on
any account."
"Yon had better not," observed
the burglar, grimly, or it would be
all the worse for you."
He produced a key like that my
busbaqd used, and approached the
safe; but as he did so, his guilty
ear caught the sound of a. footstep on
the stair case..
- " Who is that t" cried he.
" My husband, sir," returned I,
but pray don't hurt him."
" Is he not gone to town, then ?"
cried the roffiian, with an oath of
disappointment.
*«He ia
is going at twelve o'clock,"
replied I, *' he is indeed."
" If you tell him, woman," said the
burglar, hoarsely," if you breathe but
one word of my presence here, it will
be the death doom of yon both—"
he had slipped into the alcove, and
drawn back the bed to its place in
an instant. *
My husband entered immediately
afterward, und even while he was in
the room I heard the awfuli threat re-
peated again through the thick car-
tains behind me:
*'If yen do but whisper it, woman
I will kill you where you lie. Will
you promise not to tell him V'
" I will," said I solemnly; "I pro-
mise not to open my lips at all abont
the matter."
Frank leaned over the-pillow to
kiss me, and observed how terrified
I looked.
•' You have been frightening your-
self about robbers again, I suppose,
you silly child ?"
"Not I. Frank," returned I, as
cheerfully as I could, " I have a little
headache," bul I said with my fin-
gers so that he could plainly read it
in the firelignt—"For God's sake,
hushl but there's aman behind the
bedhead!"
Frank was bold as a lion, and had
nerves like iron, although he was so
tender-hearted and kind. He only
answered, " Where is your sal-vola-
tile, dearest l" and went to the man-
tle-piece to'get it. I thought he,
never could have understood me. he'
spoke with such coolness and uncon-
cern, until I saw his fingers reply as
ee took up the bottle. all right;
don't be afraid." And then I was not
afraid; or at least not much, for I
kndw I should not be left alone one
instant; and I thought that my
Frank ¿tas a match for any two such
men in such a case. Only he had no
weapon.
"He has a life-preserver," said I
with my fingers.
" Year fire is getting rather low,
Georgey," observed'he, as he took
np the poker. (Ah, he bad a wea-
pon then!) '* I must leave you a
good bla*s to comfort you before I
^
He poked the fire and left the po-
ker in, but without ever taking his
eye off me and the bedhead.
•* I will just ring the bell and see
whether Thomas has got the port-
manteau ready. Mary," coutinued
he, to the maid who answered the
belli send Thomas up." Then when
'ii
she had gone upon that errand,—"By
Jove, I never gavo him that key.
Where is it, Georgey t I have not a
le. If it jai
minute to lose. If itas in your dre
ing-case with the rest I shall be an
age in looking for it. Might I ask
you to get out of bed for an instant
and fehow me where it is t" and said,
with his fingers, " Jump!" and I
jumped, 3ro11 ma7 ^ sure quick
enough, and was inside the dressing-
room, and with the door locked in a
half seconds
"Come-in, Thomas," said Frank,
come in,'
hesitating
"There's some blackguard got into
the house and is behind my bed
there. If he makes the least resist-
ance I'll kill him with this hot
poker." .
At these words the bed was slow-
" for Thomas waa modestly

ly pushed outward, and the burglar,
irithout his crape mask, and with a
face as pale as ashes, emerged from
his hiding-place. Frank knew him
at once as having been a bank-mes-
senger, who had been discharged on
suspicion of dishonesty.
''Oh, sir, have pity on me !" cried
he. 44 I'm an unlucky dog. Had it
not been for a sneeze I should have
had ten thousand pounds in my pock*
et by this time!" «
*• Oh, you came aftas, -that, did
you," said my husband coolly. "Well,
please^ to give np that life-preserver
which'yon have in your pocket be-
fore we -have any more conversation."
" And did your lady tell you that,
too 1" cried the villain, in accents of
astonishment, as he delivered np the
weapon to the man-servant; "and yet
I stood by her yonder, -and never
heard her utter a syllable." .
" I never spoke a word," cried I,
through the dressing-room key-hole,
for I did not wish the man to think
that I'had broken my oath, nor to say
the truth, was I anxious to make a
deadly enemy of him, in case he ever
should be at large again. -
" Then it's a judgment npon me,"
exclaimed the miserable wretch, "and
it's no use for me to tight it."
" It's not the least good," replied
Frank, decisively, "and we'll goto the
police-office at once."
So off went the burglar in their
custody,* leaving me safe and sound
after all. And now don't you think
there is some use in learning even so
small a thing as the deaf and dnmb
alphabet ?
