Possibly it was we'll for DR.. Stolberg
that he was forced Just then to forget the
lover in the physician. He laid Margaret
upon the sofa, and applied restoratives
When the white eyelids began to culver,
he seated himself at the piano and played
softly strain from the song he was rem
dering when the alarm was given.
To the bewildered Margaret, slowly
coming back to consciousness, the last
hour seemed horrible dream. Was not
the doctor burned to death2 Yet there he
sat, calmly playing.
"What does it mean ?" she cried, rub
biDg her forehead. "Has there not been
a fire 2 Were you not burned to death ?"
"If l were," said the doctor, seating
himself by her side, 81 have come back
to life in remarkably good shape.'
But you were burned, for your beard
is nearly burned off,"
The doctor put up his hand to feel for
his beard. Like fash it came back to
Margaret, the fire, her agony, her comics.
sion she covered her burning face with
her hands.
The hands were taken away and the
face lifted, so that Margaret's eyes looked
into the joy-beaming eyes of the doctor.
" Atalanta is won at last" he whispered
40 Gretchen you cannot think how
hard it has been for me to keep silent all
this year."
For moment they were silent with
the blessedness of loving and being loved
Then, as the past began more and more
to intrude itself on the present, Margaret
asked:
" Did you not go up ladder to save q
child, and fall with the ladder into the
fire 7"
If had, should hardly have been
here now. / had Just taken the child
when the building began to go, but
heard the crack and sprang from the lad
der, and caught in near window ledge
in that little brick building. There
hung till they brought a ladder and helped
me down."
"But heard two women say that you
were burned to death y said Margaret
with shudder.
Everybody supposed was indeed,
did not myself know but that l should be
for the smoke was no thick, and the noise
made by the fire 80 great, that coult
neither make myself seen nor heard. Just
when felt that 1 could hang on no longer
heard shout, and knew that l was dis
covered. My left shoulder is strained
and my left hand will be rather useles,
member for time. AS held the chile
in my right arm l was forced to hang my
whole weight on my left"
Margaret seized the wounded member
and, regardless of cuts and SCOT, covered
it with kisses.

denly, forget, in my own happiness, tn

"Not tonight, you have already gon

You belong to me now, and I shall tax

and could not trust it from my sight for

DR.. Stolberg could not resist this plea
As he fastened Margaret's shawl he caugh
her in his arms, saying, At last hav

There Is a manifest sbsurdity in the
pus sAsd prices OF property disposed of at
sherli's sale in this city and county, by
resson Of the fact that mention Is seldom
If ever made Of mortgages or other charges
upon suoh property. 1t is worse than
useless to publish such figures, sines they
are not only unsatisfactory, but absolutely
misleading, and We believe that they do
more " less harm to the city in the minds
OF strangers who read local papers and
note the apparently absurdly low rates at
which real estate sells. There ia no i'm
propriety in the sherif's giving the full
price a: which he knocks down property,
and the newspapers should not publish
the partial figures usually furnished.

Has IA bad Reputation.


Boston, Nov. 27.-The Advertiser says
the United States steamer Shenandoah,
which ia now awaiting orders to sail, Ia
not likely to secure her full complement
OF officers, for almost every officer who is
ordered to her At once endeavorB
to be relieved. The sesmsn do
not like the prospects OF going
around the Horn in this vessel and
their feelings are greatly intensified by
by the actions Of the Off GERS. 1t ia Of
course, without thorough investigation,
difficult to say whether this aversion to
going off in THE vessel is due to the pro-
verbal superstition of seafaripg men
or has its origin in tangible things that
could and ought to be- remedied.
| The sailors claim the vessel lie top
heavy and that they are crowded
together like sheep. Yesterday the
executive officer of the ship, Lieutenant.
Commander Is. b. Thomas, and Lien
tenant Lucien Flynn were Surveyed"
by the medical officer and, on his report,
will probably be relieved from duty on
the ship. They have only been aborad
for about week aud their probable re-
moval only makes matters worse In the
minds OF the sailors.

1t is understood that Sir Evelyn Barring

The book is the record Of sick brains fan

when her old army boys greet her with
"Come in Miss May; don't be bashful.
