by the same blow, dashed ahead with q speed that threatened new danger, for the dusk was gathering. Nettie saw Harry Lane at the cross roads, patiently waiting, but was compelled to pass at full speed, with only nod of recognition.
 Before she reached her destination she had full control of the horse again, but it was pale face that confronted the faith erly old man who received her. With low, faltering voice she told her story, unbound her hair, and delivered the money.
 But instead of counting it, Mir. Mitchell tossed it down, and asked
 "Nettie, dId you recognize the menP" "Only one of them." "And that one-who was he ?"
 "Oh, don't ask me. Oh, MT. Mitchell, don't ask me-"
 And then, thoroughly unnerved at last, Nettie broke into a passion of sobS She turned to the door, her hair all streaming about her shoulders, but MT. Mitchell put his hand lightly on her arm and gently de- tained her.
 'TYou must tell me Is it for my sake you are silent Would he-he-the man rob me Nettie you must speak. Was it my son?"
 Her face answered him, for she coIld not speak. With shaking limbs she left the house and drove home. What spirit of bravado tempted Frank Mitchell to be there waiting for her. she could not tell, but he was ill the sitting room, chatting with her mother as she entered. Weary as she was, the sight reused all Nettie's spirit, and in answer to her mothers ques- | tion:
 "Why, Nettie, did you drive home ?" she told her story in every detail, except. ing her recognition of the man who lis. tened. Then saying: ''I must go and put up my hair" she turned to leave the room again. Stopping as she passed her visitor, she said, in voice heard only by himself:
 "You are wise to wear your gloves until the mark of my whiplash is gone from your hand"
 Folks said they "reckoned young Mitch ell was tilted by Nettie Wilder fore he left Cloverdale and went off to York to live {; but, arter all, she'd got good husband, for everybody knew Harry Lane had just loved the ground she walked on ever slnce he was mite of boy" And Harry Lane wonders why Nettie always has grave face for a moment when she sees the first October pipins, or any of Higgins yellow | pears

LOCAL roPLCs-PENN,D AND sCIssOREp,
-The Stafford Springs fair is already an

The Stafford Springs fair is already an assured success in those particulars con corning which we can form judgement in advance. Every body is coming the de- mand for ground room is taxing the area of territory to be disposed of rare attrac- tons are secured entries are coming in at rate that show indications of large fields of competing speeders. Those who are doing the work are most assiduonsly busy. Those who can aid them in any way should feel their full share of responsibility.
 For, because of the limited time (the de- cision to hold a fair being made at a sea- son when much of the work of preparation should have been already done) the off cers are obliged to crowd seasons work into few weeks time. They will not have time to look after some little details as closely as in some years past. There is then much need that the different com. munities that regard this fair with feel. ing of proprietorshIp help their local rep resentatives in the board of management by fullest cooperation. We do not want these officers to be discouraged by this years burdens to the degree that we may not have the benefit of their experience next year. And, beside, we want good fair this year. Here are two strong incen- tives to action. Let every one be looking out to see what contributions can be made to the fair. The first element of success in fair is to make it good one. The at- tendance will take care of itself. We shall, as in past years, see an immense crowd upon our fair grounds, given good weather on the dates assigned. . Let us see that every visitor goes away satisfied, and re- solved 10 come again next year.
 We must not depend too largely upon the leading attractions. The fair should be made strong in little details. Don't let us have single weak department. Farm ers-do the best you can to demonstrate your love of and success in your avocatiQn. Manufacturers and artisans-this vicinity can furnish display of products that will illustrate the abundance of enterprise, skill and "vim" of your class. Housewives bring out your work in cooking, "preserv- ing," home decorating and needle work, as in past years. Young maidens may mani fest also their skill in domestic work as we'll as in lines of art. Any mechanic, any farm lad, so disposed, can do something, if only little, but let there be many ofthose littles.
 Our fair has reputation. Let it be a matter tf local pride to sustain it.

The Fisheries Negotiations.

OTTAWA, Ont, March Cam ada's pro-
posal for settlement of the fisheries dispute
on a trade basis, and the American answer
thereto, was laid before parliament to-day by
the consent of the negotators. The propo-
stion from the British plenipotentiaries was
to the effect that the fishermen of both coun-
tries should have all the privileges enjoyed
during the existence of the fishery articles of
the treaty of Washington, in consideration
of a mutual arrangement for freedom of com
mercial intercourse. The American negotia-
tors declined the proposal, because the great
freedom so proposed would necessitate the
adjustment of the tariff by congressional ac-
tion, which adjustment they consider imprac-
ticable through the medium of the treaty
under the present circumstances Nor could
the Americans admit that such an arrange
ment could be accepted as constituting a
suitable basis of negotiations.

with the most sickening horror ever wit
messed in this city, six of the employees meet

from the fifth story and being crushed into
shapeless mass below. Six others were badly
injured Fire was first discovered in the
mailing room, and clouds of smoke were
pouring out of the lower story windows be.
fore the fifty souls on the upper floor were
aware Of their danger. The flames shot up
the elevator IN the rear, cutting off escape
by the stairway, and most Of the en-
ployes who. escaped found their way
to the ground by way Of the roof
in the rear. The unfortunates who
crowded into the editorial rooms met hor-
rible fate. They were cut of from escape in
the rear, and had to face the horrible alterna-
tive of burning to death or jumping to the
sidewalk below and frightful mutilation.
The fire department responded promptly, but
it seemed an age before it reached the win
dows on the fifth story. A ladder was put to
the fourth story, and the sight Of rescue SO
near seemed to madden the suffering group
at the two windows, who dropped in success
sion to the sidewalk below. Six fell in this
way, some of them forced off, and some
turned their heads away as they whirled
through the air. The dead are as fOllows
