true, if you will allow me to say go, in
this particular instance. !, personally,
am not fortune hunter. Perhaps you
know Of some one who may better de.
serve the name?'
You were my clerk, said Golding.
with better sneer, what are you now?'
4 will tell you, replied the other in
the same unruffled tone. AS you
rightly said, was your clerk, and it
came about in this way. At my fathers
death the property to which succeed
ed was somewhat incumbered. Your
late partner was an old friend of ours
and he suggested that l should obtain
situation for some few years, leaving
the property thus to clear itself by ap-
plying the income to the extinction of
the debt. To simplify matters he offer
ed ME position in his own office at
good salary, stipulating that nothing
should be said or known of his long
friendship with our family, lest it should
be thought he might favor me. &C.
cepted the post. In few years, as
we planned, my property was unin-
numbered, and your sudden dismissal
Of me simply anticipated my own resig-
nation by two or three weeks. You
see, Mr.. Golding, while l give you full
credit for having intended to injure me,
I can very readily treat with indiffer-
cnce course of action that has ended
in failure
AS Gilbert ceased speaking he glanc-
ed meanlngly at Elinor, who, with Mrs.
Seaforth, had stood quietly by. 1t was
evidently no news to them, and Mr..
Golding, as his gaze travelled from one
face to another, saw that his efforts had
been in vain and that success was hope
less.
But the whole matter was so utterly
unex pected that for moment he felt
that it could not be really true. He
turned to Elinor.
"You know all this, it seems ?"
"Yes," she said, but speaking in so
low tone that he could scarcely catch
the words; II knew all but 1t was my
fathers wish that the matter should not
be mentioned. That, Of course, was suf.
fcent. You would however, have
known it before long, for, for -"
She hcsitated, and cast an appealing
glance at Gilbert.
1--WE are to be married shortly said
that gentleman, promptly, completing
the sentence.
The blushing face, the downcast eyes
beside him confirmed the statement, if,
indeed, confirmation was needed. Mr..
Golding waited to hear no more, but
turned short on his heel with mutter-
ed execration, left the room and tho
house.

Explosion of Lamps and Lamp
Accidents.

BY we'll prepared chart an Insur-
ance Company has shown that of all
the couses of fires as far as ascertaina-
BILE, next to incendiarism and defective
hues, come explosions Of lamps and
lanterns.
In community where lamps arc so
extensively used, Il word or two in re-
gard to them may be interest.
The majority of lamp explosions oc-
cur from the use of low grade oils,
which contain considerable quantity
of gasoline and under the heat gener-
ated by the flame in the wick tube, a
highly explosive gas is evolved, which,
filling the space not occupied BY the
oil in front, is liable to find its way to
the flame, and upon ignation, cause an
explosion. In case no means of exit
presents itself, this gas, being subjected
to continuous heating, may expand
sufficiently to rupture the front itself,
and on coming in contact with the
flame, ignite with explosive rapidity.
This tendency to generate gas is
greatly facilitated through the usual
practice of turning low the flame Of a
lamp, resulting in unusual heating Of
the metal dome over the wick, as we'll
as its metallic connections thus Great
ing an excess of heat and more rapid
volatilization of oil, which engenders a
tendency to explosion. even with the
Use of high grade oils. 1t should be
borne in mind that, while the oil is
low in lamp the process of capillary
attractions through the wick-tube act
more rapidly in developing the gas
hence it is always unsafe to use lamp
when the oil is low IN it.
Filling and trimming lamps by the
aid Of artificial light, or filling them
while lighted, is extremely dangerous,
not to say fool-hardy, as is also The u.s.
nal practice of extinguishing the fame
by blowing down the chimney.-Er.

Christmas Fire!

AT about half past ten o'clock Sat
urday night an alarm of fire was sound
ed, which proved to be the Inauguration
of the largest conflagration from which
Abilene has suffered in number of
years. Dense clouds of smoke were
discovered issuing from the row of
frame business houses on Buckeye Ave-
opposite Second St., and although the
fire department and number of citi-
Zens worked hard to summary suppress
the fire, their efforts were rendered
futile by the immense quantities of
smoke. The flames finally burS
through in the rear of the two stores Oc-
cupied, one by Bert & Martin, and the
other by c. w. Mansfield and S. J..
Wright, and in short time the entire
row was One.vaSt sheet of fire. Through
the untiring efforts of the firemen,
Hodge Bros. new brick block on the
south, and the Continental hotel adjoin-
ing on the north, were saved, the latter
being damaged to the extent of 5000 or
$500.
Hodge Bros. old location was valued
at about $4,000, and had an insurance of

of goods which was stored there. The
premises were the property OF J. NJ.
lodge.
The building belonging to Sd. Wright,
and one side of which he occupied as a
boot and shoe establishment, the other
being filled by G. W. Mansfield with a
stock OF hats, furnishing goods and
clothing, was valued at about $500, on
which there was an insurance of $1,000.
Mr.. Wright had $1,000 on his stock,
which was worth about $4,000. Mr..
Mansfield loss was $500. He was in
Sured for $3.50.
Bert 81 Martin, in the next store, had a
heavy stock of general goods, valued at
$4,000, from which about $500 has been
saved. Their insurance was $1,000.
The building, the property of W. S.
Hodge, was insured for $4,000.
Wallace & Bunker, who kept a candy
and refreshment stand, were insured
for $500. They had about $500 worth
of goods. The building was owned by
Lebold 6 Augustine, and was valued at
about $500. 1t was fully insured.
