A HAPPY MARRIAGE ain‘t going to tell He had scarcely finished Arien's toi- tet when Miss Tempest opened the stable door and looked in, ready to mount. She had her hunt'mgcrop, with the strong horn hook for opening gates. her short habit, and looked alto- gutter ready f_or _business. He went to the harness-room for Miss Tempest’s well-Worn saddle and brought Arion out. of his snug box, and wisped him and Combed him, and blacked his shoes. and made him altogether lovely â€"a process to which the intelligent ani- mal was inclined to take objection, the hour being imseemly and unusual. Poor Bates sighed over his task. and brushed away more than one silent tear with the back of his dandy brush. It was kind oi Miss Violet to think about getting him a place, but. he had no heart tor going into a new service. He would ra- ther have taken a room in one of the Beechdale cottages, and have dragged cut. the remnant of his days within Sight of the chimney-stacks beneath which he had slept for forty 3'.ears He had mone3 in the bank that “ould last until his lees of life “ere spilled and then he would be buried in the church- yard he had crossed every Sunday of his life on his way to morning service. His kindred were all dead or distant-â€" the nearest, a married niece, settled at Itemsey. which good old humdrum market-town wasâ€"except once a week or so by carrier’s cartâ€"almost as un- approachable as the Bermudas. He was not going to migrate to Romsey (or the sake ot a married niece, when he could stop at Beechdale, and see the gables and chimneys oi the home from which stern fate had banished him. She ran lightly off. and was gone. while Bates stood stock-still. wondering at her. There never was such a young lady. What. was there in life that, he would not have done for herâ€"were it to the shedding of blood? And to think that he was no more to serve and fol- lew herâ€"no longer to jog contentedly through the pine-scented forest, watch- ing; the meteoric course of that graceful figure in front. of him. the lively young horse curbed by the light and dexter- ous hand, the ruddy brown hair glitter- ing in the sunlight, the flexible form moving in unison with every motion (f the horse that carried itl There could be no deeper imagine of desolation in Bates’s mind than the idea that. this rider and this horse were henceforth tr. be severed from his existence. What had he in life save the familiar things and faces among which he had grown from youth to age? Separate him from these beloved surmundings, and he had m stand-point in the universe. The reason of his being would be gone. Bates was as slriclly local in his ideas as the zoophylc which has clung all i;s life lo one rock. “I know that; but he‘s fresh enough to do as much moreâ€"I’ve just been lacking at him.

You are dismissed without a character. are you?" cried Vixen, laughing bitterly. “Never mind. Bates. l‘lf give you a character, and I‘ll give you a place." That Captain Carmichael should have spoken insultingly of her and of Rorie touched her but lightly. She had spok- en truly just now when she said that she scorned him too much to be easily womided by his: insolence. But that he should dismiss her father’s old servant as he had Sum her father‘s 01d horse; that this good old man, who had groxm from boyhood to age under her ances- tral roof. who remembered her father in the bloom and glory of early youth. that this faithful servant should be thrust. out at the bidding of an inter- topcr-â€"a paltry schemer, who, in \7ixeit’s estimation, had been actuated by the Lascst and most mercenary motives when he married ttr motherâ€"that these things should be, moved Violet, 'l‘em‘ post with an overwhelming anger. She kept her passion under. so far as tc speak very calmly to Bales. llex‘ face was while with suppressed rage, her gn‘al brown eyes shone with angry fire; her lips quivcred us she spoke, and the rings on one clinched hand were ground into the flesh of the slender [In- gers. “Never mind. Bates,“ sh? cried, very gently. “I‘ll get you a good place be- fore ten o‘clock to-night. Pack up your clothes, and be ready to go where I tell you [we hours hence. But first saddle Arion.” “Bless your heart. Miss Violet, you’re not going out riding this evening? Arion‘s done a long day'srwork.’ “And you‘re going away, Bates. to- nighll’ exclaimed Vixen, hardly able to raalize this calamity. United States Asks Permission to Sta. tion One at Rochester. A deSputch from Washington says: Permission has been asked by the American State Department of the Bri- lsh Government to station the little gunboat Sandoval, now assigned tto the use of the naval militia at.

He throw away his cjgm- as Vixen rode up, and ran down the steps to receive ‘rcr. “Why Violet, what has happened?” he asked, with an alarmed look. “Not very much, perhaps, in your idea or things, but it seems a great deal to me. And it. has put. me into a tremend- ous passion. I have come to ask you to do me a favor." By and by she came out of the windâ€" ing; forest way into the straight, high- mad that led to Briarwood; and now she put her horse at a smart trot, for it was growing dark already. and she calculated that it,must be nearly eleVen o‘clock before she could accomplish what. she had to do and get back to the Abbey House. And at. eleven doors were locked for the night, and Captain Carmichael~ made a circuit. of inspection as severely as the keeper of a prison. What would be said if she should not get home till after the gates were lock- ed. and the keys delivered over to that stem janitor? At last Briarwood came in sight above the dark clumps of beech and oakâ€"a white portioo shining lamp-lit windows. The lodge- gate stood hospi- tably open, and Violet rode in without. question, and up to the pittared porch. It seemed to 'him that only sudden death or dire calamity could bring her in him thus, in the late gleaming, pale. and deeply moved. Her lips trembled faintly as she looked at him, and for the moment she could find no words to tell her tmublc. “What is it, Violet?” he asked again, holding her gloved hand in his, and looking up at her, full of sympathy and concern. “A thousand favors if you like; and when they are 1111 granted, the obliga- txon shall be still on my side. But mm into the drawing-mom and rest, and let me get- you some teaâ€"lemonade â€"wineâ€"something to refresh you after your long ride.” ‘ v , , “-1 Rorie did not‘care lo tell her that it was on 1110 stroke of len.

He has his wife and children in his college at home.” Even to-night, though her heart was swelling] with indignant- pain, Violet. felt. all the beauty of these familiar scenes. They were a part of her life, and so long,r as she lived she must love and rejoice in them. To-night as she rode quietly along, careful not to hUrry Arion after his long days work. she looked around her with eyes full (-f deep love and melancholy yearning. it seemed to her to-night that out. of all that had l‘een sweet and lovely in her life only these forest. scenes remained. Humanity had not been kind to her. The dear father had been snatched away just when she had grown to the height of his stout heart, and fullest comprehension of his love, and greatest need of his protection. Her mother was a gentle, smiling puppet, to whom it were vain to appeal in her necessi~ ties. lIer mother‘s husband was an implacable enemy. Rorie, the friend of her childhoodâ€"who might. have been so muchâ€"had given himself to another. She was quite alone. It was a lovely evening. The crescent moon rode high above the tree-tops; the sunset was still red in the west. ’lhe secret. depths of the wood gave forth their subtle perfume in the cool calm air. 'lhe birds were singing in suppressed and secret tones among the lcw branches. Now and then a bat skimmed across the Open glade. and melted into the woodland darkness, or :1 rabbit flitted past. gay and ghost- like. It was an hour when the woods assumed an awful beauty. Not to meet ghosts seemed stranger than to meet them. The shadows of the dead would have been in harmony with the mystic loveliness of this green solitude â€" a world remote from the track of men. Bales opened the gate under the old br‘ck archway. and Vixen rode slowly nway, by unfrequented thickets of rho- dodendron and erbulus, holly and laurel, with a [all mounlain ash or a slalely deodora rising up among them here and there, dark against the opal evenmg sky. know.1t wouLdnt do for you to take one of Captain Lnrmichael’s horses.

An- other theory is now advanced that‘it was the outer portion of the building fronting on the alley which first gave way, and this opinion is firmly held by City Engineer Graydon. Six windows were .being inserted in the wall facing the. alley, and the suggestion is made that the supports were altogether in- adequate. This. however, is a point which will have to be cleared up at the inquest, and although in certain quar- 101'." blame is being attached to certain individuals, the bulk of the citizens are wisely withholding their censure until they have ohtained proper grounds upon which to base their verdict.

Where I lay I could hear the moans of Frank Smith. manager (I the store, who was afterwards taken out dead. The poor fellow was not more than half a dozen feet away, it seemed, and I heard him moan and cry as I never before heard anyone. He prayed repeatedly that he might die and have his terrible sufferings ended. I heard him gasp finally, ‘0. my God. iet me die.’ It seemed more like a prayer of resignation than anything else, al- though l knew that his injuries must have been terrible from the agony in his voice. I heard no more tron] him, and he must have died soon after. I.\' A TRAP. “No words can begin to picture the horror of this time.

Then there was a deafening roar and clutter and the building seemed to cruniplc up. It was a most terrifying moment. The next thing i knew I was swept oft my feet and was caught fast in a mass of debris. A dense, choking,r dust rose from around me and a stream of dust and what seemed like ashes began to rain down around from the ruins above. In a short time this filled my ears and got through my hair. I not my right arm tree and Iwarded offline stuff as it trickled down from; entering my mouth and nostrils.

What was the immediate cause of the collapse is still a matter of surmise. and the ultimate verdict must be based upon the expert testimony which will he adduced at the inquest.

ESCAPED SUFFOCATION. “If it had not been for the fact that my right. arm was free and uninjured, I would, undoubtedly, have choked and suffocated utter the accident.” she said. Clara Mullin was standing near us, and after the walls had fallen I could hear her moaning where she lay. She must have been in grout pain, for we heard hf-r sobbing and crying. and yet we could not move to do anything to assist her. Not long after her moans ceased, and instinctively we knew that the poor girl was dead. “I was standing near the centre at the Brewster store with Libbie Smith and May. llardingham, when, without. any warning at all, there was a splitting crash and a roar that sounded like an explosion, and the walls of. the build- ing seemed to be sliding westward. I remember crying out, ‘Ltbbie, we will never get out at this alive.’ I took about two steps and was then hemmed in by the ruin. Libbie ran to me and we placed our arms around one‘ another, and the debris seemed to surround us in a minute. It was the most frightful ex- perience I ever went through, and I tell you that the ordinary person has no idea. of how it feels to be ;aught in a trap like that.
