into her master’s bedroom, and pointed ont the 
coffer in which his money was secured. 
“ Here,” she said, wrench it open at once; and 
while you arc tying the money up, I shall just 
step tip-stairs to my own apartment, and get a 
few things ready for our flight, as well as my 
own little hard savings for the last five years.” 
The ruffian was thrown off his guard by her 
openness and apparent anxiety to accompany 
him. Like all egotists, be deceived himself 
when self-conceit was most certain to be his 
destruction. 
14 Go, lass.” was all he said; “but do not be 
long away. This job will be done in a twink¬ 
ling.” 
She disappeared at the words. He imme¬ 
diately broke open the chest, and was soon en¬ 
gaged in rummaging its contents. As he was 
thus employed, however, absorbed in the con¬ 
templation of his prey, and eagerly occupied in 
securing it on his person, the brave-hearted girl 
stole down the stairs on tiptoe. Creeping softly 
along the passages, she speedily gained the door 
of the chamber unseen by him, and likewise 
unheard. It was but the work of a moment for 
her to turn the key in the wards and lock him in. 
This done, she rushed forth to the outer door of 
the mill, and gave the alarm. 
“Fly! fly!” she shrieked to the child, her mas¬ 
ter’s little boy, an infant five years old, the only 
being within sight or sound of her. “Fly, fly 
to tby father! fly on your life. Tell him we 
shall all be murdered an’ he haste not back. 
Fly! fly!” 
The child, who was at play beibre the door, at 
once obeyed the energetic command of the brave 
girl, and sped on as fast as his tiny legs could 
carry him on the road by which he knew hie 
parents would return from church. Hannchen 
cheered him onward, and inspirited his little 
heart as be ran. 
“Bless thee, boy—bless thee!” she exclaimed, 
in the gladness of her heart "An' master ar¬ 
rives In time, I will offer up a taper on the altar 
of our blessed lady of Ivrentzbnrg, by Bonn.” 
She sat down on the stone bench by the mill- 
door 1o ease her over-excited spirit; and she 
wept, as she sat, at the thought of her happy 
deliverance. 
“Thank God!” she ejaculated; thank God for 
this escape. Ob, the deadly villain!—and I so 
fond of him, too!” 
A shrill whistle from the grated window of the 
chamber in which she had shut the ruffian Hen- 
rich, caught her.oar. and made her start at once 
to her feet 
“ Diether! Diether ! ” she heard him shout, 
“ catch the child and come hither! I am fast. 
Come hither. Bring the boy here, and kill the 
girl!” 
She glanced hastily up at the casement from 
« ich the imprisoned villain's hand beckoned to 
ie one in the distance, and then looked anx¬ 
iously alter her infant emissary. The little mes¬ 
senger held on his way unbanned, however; 
and she thought to lierself that the alarm was a 
false one, raised to excite her fear, and overcome 
her resolution. 
Just, however, as the child reached a hollow 
Bpoi in the next field—the channel of a natural 
drain, then dry with the heats of summer—she 
saw another ruffian starting from the bed of the 
drain, and. catching the child in his arms, hasten 
toward the mill, in accordance with the direc¬ 
tions of his accomplice. In a moment she per¬ 
ceived her danger, and in a moment more she 
formed her future plan of proceeding. Retreat¬ 
ing into the mill, she double-locked and bolted 
the door—the only apparent entrance to the edi¬ 
fice. every other means of obvious access to the 
interior being barred by means of strong 
with the great wheel and the machinery of the 
mill, and was a point entirely unprotected, for 
the reason that the slmplo occupants had never 
supposed it feasible for any one to seek admis¬ 
sion through such a dangerous inlet. 
Elated with his discovery, the ruffian returned 
to the infant, and, tying the bands and feet of the 
child, threw it on the ground even as a butcher 
will fling a lamb destined for slaughter, to await 
his time for slaying. He then Btole back to the 
aperture, by which he hoped to effect an en¬ 
trance. All this was unseen by the dauntless girl 
withiD. In the meanwhile her mind was busied 
with a thousand cogitations. She clearly per¬ 
ceived that no means would be left untried to 
effect an entrance, and she knew that on the ex¬ 
clusion Of her foe depended her own existence. 
A thought struck her. 
“It was Sunday,” she said to herself; “the 
mill never works on the Sabbath; suppose I set 
the mill agoing now? It can be seen afar off; 
and haply my master, or some of his neighbors, 
wondering at the sight, may haste hither to 
know the cause. A lucky thought,” she ex¬ 
claimed; “’tis God sent it to me!” 
No sooner said than done. Being all her life 
accustomed to mill-gear, it was but the work of a 
moment for Her to set the machinery in motion. 
A brisk breeze which sprang up, as it were by 
special interposition of Providence, at, once set 
the sails flying. The arms of the huge engine 
whirled round with fearful rapidity; the great 
wheel slowly revolved on its axle; the smaller 
gear turned, and creaked, and groaned, according 
as they came into action—the mill was in full 
operation. 
It was at that very instant that the ruffian 
Diether had succeeded in squeezing himself 
through the aperture in the wall, and getting 
safely lodged in the interior of the great drum- 
wheel. His dismay, however, was indescriba¬ 
ble when he began to be whirled about with its 
rotation, and found that his efforts to put a stop 
to the powerful machinery which was set in mo¬ 
tion, or to extricate himself from his perilous 
situation, were fruitless. His cries were most 
appalling; his shrieks were truly fearful; his 
curses and imprecations were horrible to hear. 
Hannchen hastened to the spot, and saw him 
caught, like a reptile as he was, in his own trap. 
It need not be added that she did not liberate 
him. She knew that he would be more fright¬ 
ened than hurt if he kept within his rotary 
prison; and she knew, also, that unless he at¬ 
tempted to escape, there was no danger of his 
falling out of it, even though he were insensible 
and inanimate all the while. In the meantime, 
the wheel went round and round, with Us steady, 
unceasing motion; and round and round went 
the ruffian along with it, steadily and unceas¬ 
ingly, too. In vain did he promise the stout¬ 
hearted girl to work her no harm; in vain did

was brought down from the great wheel. The 
other ruffian was brought down from the prison. 
Both were then bound, and sent off to Bonn

under the hands of the executioner. 
It was not long till Hannchen became a bride. 
The bridegroom was the miller's son, who had

Benevolence.— There cannot be a more glo¬ 
rious object in creation than a human being re¬ 
plete with benevolence; meditating in what man¬ 
ner he might render himrelf most acceptable to 
his Creator, by doing most good to his creatures. 
Evert man is happy, no matter what his cir¬ 
cumstances, who is contented. Happiness does 
not depend so much on the art of getting much, 
as the art of being contented with what we have.
