"Of course not" was the reply.

"And thenp"
"Then she will start for Uncle
Georges in the morning train, and
you, il you play your cards right, will
marry Claude Moltrop."
Jeanne threw q shawl carelessly over
her white-robed cousin, overlooked
her toilet, and then followed her sister
to the carriage and was driven to the
large hall where the concert was to be
given.
The two ladies rustled to their seats,
and it was not long before Claude Mol
trop joined them.
"Did not Miss Alice come with you?"
were almost the first words he said.
"No," replied Mrs. Lorton, "She
starts for the East in the early train,
ank SO gave up attending"
"But what will we do without her
solosp My sister will be at complete
loss"
That's just the way with AL re-
piled JENNIE. "No one can depend
upon her in the least if she gets lit
tie miffed at anything; she always acts
just so."
Mr.. Moltrop said but little more to
the two ladies, and then made his way
back through the hall, which WAS
crowded, to the green-rOom.
MARY" said he, Alice Taylor is not
going to come. What will you do?"
mot going to come?' questioned
Mrs Moltrop, in excited surprise.
''She must come; we would not have
any concert ut all without her. What
is the matter? Is she illp'
Il believe not. Mrs. Lorton, or
rather Jeanne Taylor, gave me to un-
derstand she was miffed at something
"lmpossiblc," said Mrs. Moltrop.
Claude, you get the carriage and we
will 90 after her. would not disap-
point this great audience for anything.
If Alice Taylor is in town she must
sing"
They had driven but block or two
when the fire bell began to ring ex-
citedly, and the street idlers rushed
toward the indicated locality.
''That's somewhere near the music
hail." said Claude, as he hardened to
the bells.
That's true" said Mrs. Moltrop.
"What if it should have caught fire ?
1t was fearfully warm
"Let's 90 back" said Claude
Their forebodings were too true.
When they arrived a frantic mass Of
people were pouring from the build
ing, and the engines were pouring a
steady stream of water upon the roar
ing flames.
1t was not long before the fire was
subducd, but the scene was a heart
rending one when the mass of burned
and crushed humanity was taken from
the crowded building. Many lives had
been lost in the swaying living mass
who had wildly attempted to escape
and many had been more or les:
burned by the hungry flames.
Claude Moltrop assisted Edgar Lor
ton, as he brought out his dead wife
all crushed and bleeding, and Jeanne
Taylor was found with her beautiful
face and hands deeply burned by the
falling embers. 1t was the saddest oc
currence which had ever happened il

forgot that scene to their dying day.
Poor Jeanne Taylor was SCARED
deeply for life, and when at last hel
cousin and Claude Moltrop were en-
gagged, for Jeanne would not let Alice
leave, she told them the whole story
of the evening of the concert
Alice freely fOrgave her, as sh'
looked at her Scared face, and though
that she herself had been saved as by
fate.-Sara B. Rose, IN Chicago Ledger
