When the bell rang I was in the Hbrary, the front room on ‘the seoond floor, and my daughter, Mrs, C. M, Steele, and my niece, Miss Clara Hoffman, were in Mrs, Bte bour doir, just back of the library, Helen Leonard, Mrs, Steele's maid, was at- tending her, and she went down to ewer the bell, “According to the story the maid af- terward told me she had scarcely opened the door when a tall, thin, young man, of perhaps twenty-six years of age, threw his weight against It and, forcing his way into the hall, nolselessly closed the door behind him, The next instant he shoved a revolver in the girl's faco and demanded to know where the fam- ily was, Frightened out of ther senses, she told him, The Deadly Revolver, “The etranger then eelzed the girt with this left hand and. covering her with the revolver, threatened to ehoot if whe made @ sound, He shoved her to the stairs and backed her slowly up. ‘When near the top she stumbled and fell but made #0 little noise that none of us on the second floor heard any disturbance. “Rushing over the maid, whom he again warned to make no outery on penalty of death, the robber reached the head of the stairs and, crossing the hall, entered the open door of my daughter's room. “We were gomg out to dine that evening, and my daughter and niece had just taken from the safe and placed on the dressing table the jewelry they intended to wear, Their backs were to the door when the man entered, When they turned around they saw the rob- La} standing just outside the threshold, pointing @ revolver at them, Why they did not patty they do not know, but they didn’t, Hie Demand for Money. “Betore they had a chance to utter a ‘word the stranger ssid: ‘I want money; I want it quick Give # to me or I'll shoot’ “I was atill in the brary, ignorant of whet had occurred.
