CHAPTER XVII.



1t needed no second telling, the intelli-
I gence which one single moment after its
importation sent the entire town shop
wards. and made confused Babel Of
now commotiOn- filled streets. Men
\ the 1Nshed wildly Onwards women
1 shrieked and cried, and children unac-
I customed t. the unusual confusion, were
I dismayed and terrified. 1t was a scene Of
the widest commotion. for added to the
fact of the lnopportune occurrence OF the
fire flashed into the public mind, the cne
thought that the works had been fired ty
the strikers.
There could be no doubt Of it riot and
ruin were rife. So the people reasoned, SO
they veritably believed But the excited
througs pressed eagerly on, and the works
and their vicinity were soon the scenes Of
a commotion, as exciting as was 1t in
tense
Foremost among those on the spot was
Robert Parton When he reached the
works the office had been almost entirely
consumed, and the main buildings were
about catching tire. score Of men were
at the pumps from the yard clstern, and
long line of hose was soon drawn out. Up
a ladder hose in hand ran the young me-
chanlc. up into the very face of the t1ames,
nobly hghttng against the hre-hend. The
supply Of water was not very great, how
ever the flames surged on. The ladder
vas not at the right point. The water was
giving out, a hundred hurried mlshaps oc-
cured, and a cheer from the crowd rang
out as Robert Parton mounted the roof,
and a stream Of water was soon playing on
the roof If the shops.
He maintained his post well only once
AS he gazed on the yelling. surgIng crowd
below. he directed his attention away. In
carriage driven by two horses, he
saw Edwin Amory and Mr.. Tremayne,
while pale and anxious sat Ethel, regard
ing his noble endeavOrs TO overcome the
ire He worked on with redoubled zeal
he did his best, and within hve minutes
the flames were well under control, IN ten
the tire was out, andin fifteen he descended
from tie roof, slnged and soaked, the lac 70
u the throng, which shouted out their
widest enconlulms uOOn HIM.
As he passed the carriage where sat the
object OF hls love, he bowed courteously to
Etnel. not noticing the herce scowl on the
features of Edwin AmOry.
q" He acts his part well, sneered the
latter, audlbly to the young mechanic.
d" lncendlary and rioter that ne Is.
Robert flushed hotIy, but did not reply.
He passed on and to his own home He
changed his apparel, and had scarcely re-
dressed himself before he heard knock
at his bedroom door. Opening it ne was
confronted by the village constable, who
laying his hand upon his shoulder, sand,

A Great Hand at Cribbage

A western correspondent of the Norfolk
Gd-ette, describes hand at cribbage,
which one in the usual course of playing
would get about once in a thousand years
He says "a few nights since a remark
able game If cribbage was played by Mr.
III. X. Treadwell, and A. s HurIbutt, at
the house Of the latter II was SIX card
crbbage. A regular deal was made by
Treadweil, who discarded SIX and four
spot, retaining for his hand two four and
tao SKIES. The trump turned was the five
of spades, which gave Tresdwell twenty
nine IN his hand, the largest number that
can be held Hurlbutt showed twenty
tour IT. his hand, and the crib was found
twenty four more for Treadwell. In the
play ten holes were pegged, making the re-
suit Of the play of one hand an aggregate
Of eighty seven pegs, without doubt the
most remarkable make Of this most
beautiful Of games on record.

CHATTER XVIII.
THE ARREST.

THE ARREST.
" Your prisoner
eyes"
Robert Parton did not speak again for a
moment-did not give utterance to a
single word, until as there flashed into his
mind the thought of the general rumors
against him. and his incendiary words TO
the men at the first hall-meeting, he put on
his coat and hat and followed the officer
out Of the room and the house, murmur
ing,
This is the work Of Edwin Amory."
Instinctively these two men were at de-
fiance In Amory Robert recognized III
tiutlvely a foe, and he knew Amory hated
hun. He did not speak his thoughts,
however, only went on with the village
constable until he came 10 the town Jail.

had been a. the fire interposed, and re-
fused to move from the spot, at the sight

raising his club.
But the assembled throng laughed his
attempts to retain possession Of his prls-
oner to scorn. They pinioned his hands
behind him, and bore him away from the
iail. a number of others following Robert
away from the prison also.
Gratitied as he was at this exhibition OF
their sympathy for him, the young me-
chanic, he demonstrated with them, but
they they would hear no words from him,
as however they forced him away from the
jail, they cooled down considerably.

The Eavies Of the World.

Fhe most reliable information relative 10
European armies has been for long time

The same thing happens now with regard
To navy affairs for As soon as Germany
concluded " possess fleet, she began by
sending ali over the world special officers
entrusted with duty of studying, and care
fully reporting upon the real status Of
foreign naval affairs. Even London pa

nation on the subject from German papers.
The BorTH1eitupg, If Berlin, says that ae-
cordng to the last official reports the total
number nf iron -clAds possessed by the vari-
Gus naval powers Of Europe, including
those employed ON coast service is 244
The total number 1T screw-ships, exclusive
OF coast steamers and gunboats is AL
Belgium, Switzerland, and Servla do not
POSSESS any navy at all, and ROumanIa has
only few gunboats ON the Danube. Hol-
land, Sweden, Norway, and Portugal,
though they have fleets, have no iron-elads
for war-service. Greece has two such iron

The BOrsen=eitto,g adds that the naval

thickness of their iron plating, the power
Of their engines, and the number and
quality OF their guns, and that by next

A Generous Act.

We have Just heard of an act which re-
fleets great credit upon the parties immedi-
ately concerned. Among the victims Of
the railroad tragedy near Burlington, was
a young man, the son Of highly respect
able citizen Of Wilmington. The father
made no claim for damages, but the Cam
den and Amboy Railroad company hear
ing that aid, although not applied Tor,
would be useful, generously sent check
for five hundred dollars, and rendered an
annuity to the parents Of five hundred
dollars per annum. The aid was not only
opportune, but the manner in which it was
extended, rendered it doubly valuable
We record such acts with pleasure They
tel well, not only for the company i'm
mediately concerned, but for human na-
ture itself
