Hiding a story from Timeline will prevent people from reading your story publicly but it will still appear in your ‘Activity Log’ and whoever is allowed to see that story in their news feed, for example tagged posts or photos of your friends. To completely remove the story from the timeline, you can use the ‘Delete Post’ in the pull down selection.

And let’s not forgetting the audience selector which you can use to prevent some friends from seeing some of your private stories:
