Sat high sp aboTe the panic, flame and smoke, aJhOTetthe- arched roof, boe all ear the clear Vanlted beaTensi, stood thro persona who leemed in imminent daage of meeting an awful death. By means of the elerator that pierces tho roof of the monster building they had gained a high position, from which rantage ground the beau tiful lake, gleaming beneath the beans of the fall effulgent harrewt-Braon, like a mass of molten silter stsstched oat before their eyes. "We are lost, father," and a young lady, in whoa form and face nature seemed to hare blended in rich profusion her rarest charm, aa she clung oonTolsireiy to the arm of a gray-haired, rather feeble-look-ingold main. oetI So! no! Berenice! shouted ho. "Tho etorator " "Is deserted ! The flames surround the shttt. We are left to die here alone." The old man looked downward and gare utterance to a cry of despair aa the glance Terified the words of his daughter. "Thf way t shouted he a moment later, . and dashed orer the railing towards a flight of Btaidi which desoended from the tower to the roof proper. ' These the old man paused . that his daughter ntitftt precede bint. When well -nigh down, her drees caught npon a projecting corner, and, with a cryof terror, she fell forward. With a spasm -of honor which rendered him incapable alike of speech or motion, the old man saw his daughter sliding down tho arched metal roof of the buildprattling childhood. youth, and budding womanhood passed like a lightning-painted panorama before mis eyas, and he closed them to shut out the seentingly inevitable fate of her he loved next to idolatry. At that instant a form rushed past him. It waa that, of a young man who, like Us daughter.- and himself, had been gating upoartla) beauties of the moonlit lake. 'Save, berl pleaded the fond old fath. or, hope restoring hie power of speech. Without a word, a look, the young man projected himself forward and downward toward toe place whore Berenice waa clinging to a small ornamental cupola. She saw him, and with renewed courage tightened her grasp. Bnt her fingers twitched convulsively, and her face, white as the moonlight in which it waa bathed, told plainer than words that her strength was almost gone. The old man uttered . a .frroan of agony. uttexea.a for to bis excite 1 mind her heroic wouldbe raecoer oottld but join her in a frightful death upon the pavement, far beneath. Witu rapidly accelerating speed the youth sped downward. With a dexterity which bespoke both agility of muscle and eoomes of -brain, ho caught the, small oapola and came to a stop,' At the same instant the slender jeweled hand relaxed, and the form of the now useonscioua girl began mc ring onward toward certain death. But fair Bemnioe St. Cyr had in store a fate other than destruction: clouds, darkness, and tears were soon to gather like the mockery of an aureole around her sunshiny head, yet death, was not to be her portion. The young main noted her deadly peril, and seised her wrist. Than, with an almost superhuman effort, in which every nerve and muscle playied its part, he drew her upward to a point of temporary safety. In the meantime," the fire engine and hook-and-Iadder eompany,- whieb are housed at the north end of the long building, bad arrived and made short work of the fire, but not until , the devouring element bad wrought dsmag.to tho extent of score of thousands of dolShouts from J the throng, which in the time had grown to briefest possible thousands, now attracted the attention of tho'gaBwSrifrettien to the imperiled twain" above. Ladders, to whose length there seemed no limit, rose as if through tho power of megio, and a rescuing party soon reached the roof. Bnt not even to the powerful arms of the skilled and intrepid "fire laddies did the young man consign his precious burden. Instead, 1m bore her away himself, and, amid the enthusiastic plaudit of the .vast crowd which filled Michigan avanwev carrJadhei safely down tho tall ladder. . "God bless you!" oried Mr. St. Cjr, in fervent tones, as he, joined our hero a ssoment lata. "Yow. have saved my child, my alL This way, John." In response to the direction, a handsome carriage ws driven through the curious, pressing people, to the onrb"Lift her in. please," continued the old gentleman, he swung open the door. The other complied, and a moment later, clear of tne crowd, the trio so strangely united In one party, were being .whirled rapidly away to the southward. Before an elegant mansion in Calumet avenue the vehicle came to 'a stop. Bat little had been said during the abort drive. Folly restored to consciousness, but nervous from her recent shook ad peril, Berenioe had lain in the arms of hex trembling but joyous parent. "Come, said tne latter, a ne led the war toward the broad threshold. "Please excuse me," returned the young man, lifting bis hat. "The lady is happily restored. I can-do--" -otkingr interrupted Mft- fit. Cyr; but you can give us an opportunity to express our thanks for the inestimable erytowouhverendesdus. Ctr

On the point of repotting bis declination, our hero turned sis eves upon the fair girl whose life he had' so recently saved at the peril of his own, A strange thrill pervaded his frame as bis glance rested opon her face, half shy, pleading, but wholly beautiful, and fascinating beyond all he bad been fated to look upon. A momentary glance into the dark tube of a earners obsoura, and one's features, to the smallest detail, are fixed for all time. The convex glasses of the photographer are not truer, or clearer than the thoughts and purposes of a right-minded young man, and the delicate chemical plate no more sensitive to impressions than is the sympathetic, grateful heart ot a girL What marvel, then, that one exohange of glances gave a new direction to tne impulses of both? The young man bowed, and followed, his fair though silent persuader up the mar bj steps.

CHAPTER IV AST AWlfrii AWAXXKmOk "This is our home." said Mr. St. Cyr. as with a hospitable wave ot the hand he ushered his guest into the drawing-room. And suoh a home! The young man had expected to see eleganee, but the richnan of the scene quite astonished him, and oespoxe a weaitn witn wmcn ne naa never oerore oeeu orougut in oontaos. "Let us no to the library, father." sug gested Berenice. "It's far cozier there." Straws are said to show from whioh direction the wind is blowing, and the alaority with whioh the father acquiesced was aaffieiant to emivince tha vnnnfr man that the daughter waa the ruler of the mansion. Assuming the office of guide, the beau tiful girl led the way through a number of wive apartments luxuriantly furniahad. and glowing -with the riehest hues ot art, to tne apartment sne naa suggested. ic was inaeea a coxv puce, xwo sic of the room were oovered with books. and on the third an onen fire burned brightly. "This is father's den," announced Berenice, as she pointed to a revolving desk and a steel safe, which stood beside n. i oan t make him give up business. Now, daughter," said the old gentlen leproaonxuuy. "At least not quite," corrected she. "Ton shall decide the matter, Mr. "Winters." snake up the young man as the other paused; "Cole Winters. I should have mentioned my name before." "No. you shouldn't." declared pretty Berenice. "The fault was ours we never gave you a chance. "It's not yet too late to be polite," said the host, smiling. Be seated, please, and favor us with amore complete intro duction, Mr. Winters." I can add but little to what I have said," remarked the young man, as he ac cepted the proffered easy-chair. My life has been uneventful. I have nothing neaiaes my name. "A namethat is, a good name is a fortune in itself," 'said the old man, anoonragingiy. ' "I was bom in Central Illinois, and am just twenty-two." Cole went on. "My parents ootn aiea wnen i was quite young, leaving ma some little property aa an inheritance. AH of this was expended on my education. About three months ago I. completed my collage oourse, and came to Chioago to seek an opening in life." "And have been suooenful? queried Mr. St Cyr. On tne contrary, JL nave failed at ev ery turn. I bad contemplated following the law, and sought a place in the office or an attorney, xnis i oouio nave reaauy s Beared, but no one would pay me any salary with which to support myself. Then i sought a mercantile position, out was unable to secure one, as I had had no experience as a clerk. After this 1 aspired to no particular line, but sought any kind of honorable employment." Ana iauea at au points r "Something worse. A private banker hired me for a year. I grew suspicious of him and his methods; and discovering mm to Do engaged in a aisnonoraoie business, quitted him after working a month, for which I received no compensation." And besides losing your salary you have made an enemy?' .Exactly. "What is his name?" "Max Morris." "Ha!" ejaculated Mr. St. Cyr. "The friend and former partner of Abnon Sears!" The same. I've often seen Mr. Sears in his private office." This Almon Sears is the son of an old and valued friend, who died years ago. leaving him penniless. I lovod him for his rather, gave him every educational advantage, started him in business, and. bad he proved in al respects worthy, I nad even designed The speaker paused as he caught a glimpse of his daughter's pale face. "ne contemplated marrying him to his daughter," was Cole's mentulcomment. Enough of Aim! said tho old man, with a slight show of petulance. "Pardon the interruption." Ihave no more to tell. My stock of money being exhausted, I supported myself by doing copying at a beggarly price. To-night I visited the Exposition, in the hope' of securing a place. Palling in that. i aseenaea to toe oDservatoiy, wnere j. had the good fortune to be of some small service. "A service which nothing ' can teoav!" cried tha old man with a fond look at his rescued child; "I like you, Mr. Winterslike yor honest face and the integrity of your heart and mind, as revealed in your frank, open story." "You flatter me, sir," faltered Cole, bis embarrassment heightened by the look of nsure Deeming on uerenioe s admiring "Not a particle. Ton have told your story; let me reciprocate in kind. For half my life I have been au active business man of Chicago. This is my daughter's eighteenth birthday. Some time ago I promised her that when this day came I would abandon all business and devote tho remaining years ot my widowed life to her, my only child. "This I have onlv been able to accomplish in part. I hare withdrawn from two firms in which I was interested, and the proceeds. 300,000 in' bonds, are now m that safe. The enormous sum mentioned, to gether with its unexpee'ed proximity to him, caused Cole Winters a sudden start of surprise. In this action be was not alone. The -curious glance be cast at the cube of polished steel, which held secure behind ita twits ana oars ana massive locxs more than a king's ransom, was duplicated by a pair of dark sinister eyes which gleamed at the lower part of one of the windows Denind the .backs oi tne inter-, ested trio. "I have fullv twice as much more safe ly invested in ! ood paying real estate," Mr. St Cyr went on. 'These bonds draw onlr a very low rate of interest, and I am desirous of changing them to houses and other rentable property. This, my contract w:th my daughter, prevents me from attending to in person," 'I'm glad you remember your obligations, father," smiled Berenice. "In a week we are to leave -for New York, from where we will soon sail for a tour of Unrope. I have as yet no agent to reinvest my money and care for my property during my absence. Yon seek employment 1 will pay you 13,000 a year, is it a bargain?'' "My dear sir what oan I say? I have had no experience " "Experience an honest man can easily aoquire, while experienced men seldom turn honest. You are bright, energetio, sincere. Is it a bargain?" Besides the father and daughter, the person at the window awaited the response. "If you think me competent, sir, I will not otherwise disappoint you." "Enough!" cried Mr. St. Cyr, extending his hand. "We will settle the details tomorrow. In the meantime accept and promi'e to wear this as a memento of this day. It belonged to my only son, long sinoe deceased." The speaker removed and handed our hero a curiously wrought old-fashioned ring, riohly set with diamonds ond rubies. "What is it, air?" asked a servant who had entered the apartment in responAl to an cleolrioal bell whioh his master had touched. . "Some refreshments, John. Serve them here, and as quickly as possible," The man looked buriougly at the ring whioh .Cole was in the sot of pissing -.upon his finger, and withdrew. Half an hour later the little eompany separated for the night. 'Master must fhjak power of $ba,

young man io give him that ring," mused, John, as he went sleepily down the stairs after having shown Cole Winters to the. most sumptuous guest-chamber in the

wnoie mansion. It was long before sleep visited tho eyelids of our heroine, whose happy, inno-' cent heart kept beating time to a new and glorious measure nrss tore. When, at test, slumber locked fast her outer senses, the new-born sentiment controlled her half formed thoughts, and dreams of Cole Winters floated through her brain. Again she heard the startling oryot nre, and with zst failing strength saw our hero her haro, as .well risking Dts lite to save her. "Help! Help! Murder!" From a vision at one awful and fascinating, she was awakened by these dreadful words. They proceeded, as she thought, from the library, where she had so recently spent one of the pleasantett hours of her oner me. In an instant: almost, she was there. Day had brokun, and objects were dis tinctly visible. The outcry tad emanated from the servant, John Kedrie, who stood in the doorway, a look ot horror depicted on his face. Bushing past him, Berenice saw ohajrs overturned, tne a are open, ana papers scattered about "Burglary!" she gasped. "Worse!" said John Kedrie, in a hoarse whisper. She followed with ker eyes the direction indicated by his trembling finger, and saw a sight that fairly froze her young blood, and deprived her of the use of her faculties. Before her upon the floor, a frightful wound in his throut, lay the lifeless body of her beloved fat tier, Paul St. Cyr. TO BB OONTTKDXD.l Tha Musical Books of Stony (tardea. Nearly a mile and a half from Top Book, -whioh is the highest pomtiorr'the Haycock Mountains and within a mile of the little hamlet of Danielsville, are tho Ringing Books, as they are called by the Bucks County people. Years ago some one named this place the Gurden of Stones, and from that it has come to be known as Stony Gar den. It is a barren waste of rooks, for all vesretaidon ceases abruptly at its edge. Not a trace of- green is to be seen over the whole expanse, for not even moss grows on the Kinging Bocks. jUnnng tne past half century tne Stony Gardens have been frequently -visited by tourists and scientists, and their musical qualities were well understood. It 'remained, however, for William J. Buck, the author of the History of Montgomery County, to suggest their possibilities as producers of melody, and for Dr. 3. J. Ott, of Pleasant Valley, to carry them out. xesteroay was tne occasion oi tne third annual pionio of the Pleasant Valley literary Association, and their exercises were held in the forest at the edge of the Big Stony Garden. A number of bare rocks -were selected from the many thousands and carried with great labor to the edge of the socalled garden, where it had been de cided to hold the pionio. They were carefully placed on wood supports and tested and arranged until Dr. Ott had at his disposal a number of rooks which, when aruok, emitted bell-like tones running an octave and a half. Miss Emily A. Boyer recited a poem written by William J. Buck for the occasion, entitled "Chimes oi Stony Ultra en. At tne end of each stanza Dr. Ott, armed with two heavy blacksmith's hammers, rang the chimes on the rocks. The tones produced were musical and remarkably olear. Daring the exercises which followed, Dr. Ott and his musical rocks, accompanied by the band, gave frequent selections. The crowning triumph was when Dr. Ott played "Little Annie Kooney" on the rooks, with the band accompaniment. ' Before the exercises were closed the piokniokers spread them selves over the rooks of the Big Stony Garden, and with rocks and stones in their hands made the forest ring with the melody of the rooks. Others tried to investigate the mysterious disappearance "of a little stream of water, which is swallowed np in the rocks only to appear a half mile away. Philadelphia Times. Bis Table Etiquette Faulty. The Saltan never uses a fclate. He takes all his food direct from the little kettles, and never nses a table, and rarely a knife, fork or spoon bis bread, a pancake, or fingers are found fax handier. It requires twice as many slaves as there are courses to serve a dinner to him. The whole household is at liberty to take meals where it suits him or her best, and thus every one is served with a small tray, with a spoon, a great chunk of bread, and the" higher ones only get the pancakes. Nearly one ton of rice per day is re quired for the inevitable pillaffe, 600 pounds of sugar, as muon coree, to say nothing of the other groceries, fruit, vegetables, and meat. lUce'and mutton and bread form the greater part of the food for the majority of Turks, together with fish, sweetmeats, confectionery, nuts, and dried and fresh fruits. That there is enormous waste and extravagance in the kitchens is obvious, and it is said that enough is thrown away daily to maintain 100 families; but such waste is perhaps not confined to a Turkish royal household, and might also be found in kitchens nearer home. The surplus is gathered tip by the beggars, with whom Constantinople abounds, and what remains is eaten by the scavenger dogs. All the water for the Saltan's use' and the drinking water for the household is brought in barrels from two pretty streams at different places in theBosphortu toward the Block Sea. Still In the Business. A few weeks ago Jacob Knhl, of the firm of Kuht & West, commission merchants, died, and the business has fdnce been carried on by West: The other day Gns Sohriver. of Centre Market, received a bag of potatoes from him, and looking at the bill saw the name of Knhl still on the bill head. Calling in his friend Doty Warren, he said: "Look here Doty, ain't dis a funny dings. Here dey send me a bill mitt Runt's name on It and he is dead ofer two W60stfi "Oh, that's all right," said Doty; "you see, it takes some time to settle up his affairs, and in the meantime the business goes on the same as before.' "Dot's all right," said Gns, "but vos has Kuhl to do mitt dis bill? He is dead." "I don't quite understand it myself," said Doty, "but I guess he is what they call a silent partner," "Oh, dot's the vay, is it? Veil, dot's de first dime ever I did some pisness mitt a dead man."

Changes in Small In 1779 was published in America the volume of Baron Steuben's tactics, which contains the manual of arms for onr revolutionary army. The musket was then a iiintlook muzzle loader, with single ball or ball and buckshot, effective at about 100 yards, with a' recoil as dangerous to the soldior as to the object aimed at For firing and loading the commands were, the musket being loaded and at shoulder, "Poise firelock. Cook firelock. Take aim. Fire." Half cock firelock. Handle cartridge; prime, shut pan; charge with cartridge; draw rammer; ram down cartridge; return rammer; shoulder firelock." Up to 1840 we bad the same old Hint look, smooth bore musket, with paper cartridges, and loaded by twelve com mands: "Load; open pan; handle cartridge, tear cartridge; prime; shut pan; cast about; charge cartridge; draw ramrod; ram cartridge; return ramrod; shoulder arms." About 1815 the peroussion oan, pre viously used by sportsmen, was adapted to the smooth bore muzzle loader, and it was loaded in "ten times," or motions, gradually reduced to four motions, and finally to one, "Load at will." Now, in 1890, every reormt knows that he can load-his rifle and fire it from five to twenty times a minute, thereby exhausting his supply of sixty zounds in a few minutes, whereas as late as our civil war forty rounds in the cartridge box and twenty in the haversack were a full allowance for a day's fighting.

A few days ago, while standing on her porch Mrs. William Kirby, a lady well known and esteemed in Arkadelpbia, Ark,, saw a dog approaching her whioh showed signs of being mad. She ran in at once, but had not Ume to close the door after her before the animal fol lowed her. She fled into another room. still pursued by the dog, snapping and growling; bnt ai he came through the second door, she was in the act of shutting it, and caught the beast as she did so. Though faint from fright she managed to hold the dog between the door and the wail by leaning witn all herstreogtn against the panels, at the same time calling for help. At last her shouts attracted the attention of a passer-by, who came to her assistance, and procuring a revolver shot the dog and killed it just as Mrs. Kirby dropped ' to the floor fainting, and thus released it The lady whose presenoe of mind undoubtedly saved her life, has been prostrated from the nervous strain ever since.

In a recent magazine article says: A radical error underlies nearly all medical treatment ot catarrh. It Is not a disease ot the man's nose; It is a dlseaseof the man showing Itself In the nose a local exhibition of a constitutional trouble." Therefore, ho argues, that the use of snuff and other local applications is wrong, and while they seem to give temporary relief, they really do more harm than good. Other leading authorities agree with Dr. Lewis. Hence, the only proper method of cure for catarrh Is by taking a constitutional remedy liko Hood's Sarsaparllla, which, reaching every part of tha body through the blood, does eliminate all impurities and makes the whole man healthier. It remove the cause of the trouble and restores the diseased membrane to proper condition. That this is the practical result is proven by thousands of people who have been cared of catarrh by taking Hood's SarsapariUa. Gone to Join Km.
