spoke; but his supicions, ever on the alert,
was reused in an instant, and with all his
strength he strove to keep himself from
being shut in; but his strength was of lit
| tie avail in the position in which he then
was. Cyrilla flung herself bodily on to the
| chest, and in spite of the mailman S efforts,
little by little, inch by inch, the lid came
down upon him, his power to struggle
against it in proportion the closer it shut
him in. Suddenly he changed his position,
and before he could recover himself, the
lid had slut him in completely and the
same instant the iron staple in the body Of
the chest shot up through slit in the lid.
The moment she saw it, Cyrille's instinct
pointed out to her the only method by
which Fastina could be retained a prison
er,zfor her bodily strength was all but ex-
hausted. The iron bar that should have
passed throus5 h the hole in the staple, and
have kept the chest fast shut, was broken
away, and all that Cyrilla could now do
was to push her thumb through the staple
and use it as the bar had been used.
The footsteps on the gravel outside were
coming nearer; and presently, Theodore
Thornhurst, cigar in mouth, and with
merrier twinkle than usual in his eye,
stepped in through one of the French
windows. 81 l..z..5 -1.rs. El... s..F.

her husband, and then she sank fainting
by the side of the chest. The painter was
cautious man as well as a brave one; he
heard strange noises proceeding from the
interior of the chest, and at the moment of
releasing Cyrilla's poor bruised thumb, he
slipped his pocket knife into its place.

ried heriinto another room, and summoned
the servants to her assistance, Armed
with a revolver, he then went back to the
chest, and lifted up the lid, but Fastina
was half sufocated by this time and was
dragged out by Thornhurst more dead
than alive. --r ' .~ .-F ~ .t+
Ultimately the Italian was reconsigned
to the place from which he had escaped
but a long time passed before the painters
wife recovered thoroughly from the effects
of that terrible hour. .tr

The largest and finest hotel in the ooun-
try, the Lindell House, at st. Louis, was
destroyed by fire on Sunday evening, the
21st ult., involving loss of million and
half of dollars. About nine o'clock the
fire was first seen breaking out of the sew
enth story, whence it spread downward
over the whole building. 1t is believed the
fire originated in west front room of the
fifth story, from gasjet. The great height
of the building interfered with getting the
hose on the fire. There were about four
hundred guests in the hotel, large num-
Der of whom consisted of families board
ing in the house. The latter lost most Of
their personal effects, owing to the oonfu-
sion and excitement prevailing, and the
disbelief that the house would be destroyed,
until it was too late to remove them. The
building, owned by Edgar Ames and Henry
Ames, Jr., is total loss. 1t was insured
for $4,000 mostly in various local com
panies. The lessees were Hatch, Weaver,
Felt & Co. But little furniture was saved ;
but they had an insurance of 100000 on
it. There was also an insurance Of $780,
600 insurance on the stocks of the storesin
the building, which were worth about
