elms surrounding the mansion. 1t
lacked ten minutes of the hour ap-
pointed for the ceremony. MIR. Faulk-
land, IN faultless attire, was leaning
against the carved balustrade in the
lower hall.
"If you please, sir, Miss Sherwood
wishes you to step up to her bOudOir, s"
a servant said IN guarded tones.
Without word he sprang up the
wide staircase,
II believe your daughter desires to
see me, he said to Mr.. Sherwood, who
was passing to and fro in the upper
passage.
As the old gentleman silently threw
open the door, Falkland halted upon
the threshold of the dainty blue and
silver room, his eyes fixed rapturOusly
upon the graceful figure in sweeping
robes confronting him.
81 wish to say a few words to you be-
fore the ceremony" Edna said In low
tones, throwing back the costly bridal
veil.
Heavens! how beautiful you are, 8"
he exclaimed, passiOnately, attempting
to take one Of her glOved hands.
Pardon me, she said, stepping back.
CAS- I have said before, I can permit no
caresses until we've are married. ;"
The heavily fringed eyehds lowered
shyly, one snowy arm encased in white
kid stole round her fathers neck. Il
desire to remind you of your promise,
Mr.. Falkland. If you fail to give me
that receipt the moment the ceremony
is ended, L viii never live with you as
your wife.
MY beauty, you shall have the paper
the moment we are pronounced man
and wife"
Very well" she broke in with an
imperiOus gesture, "the hour for the
ceremony has arrived If you viii
step into the hall for a moment I viii
join you"
Falkland followed Mr.. Sherwood
into the passage where the bridesmaid
and best man awaited. In a second the
bride huttered out and placed her hand

NEW YoRK, November "a fire broke
out IN the First ward public school, Long
Island City. One Of the pupils of thsschool
had gone into the basement and lighted
gas Jet. The wood work close to the jet
took fire and a fame instantly shot through
a creYice in the floor. Over 800 children
were studying at their desks in the various
rooms of the school building. When the
children on the first floor saw the fame
shooting up through the boards they raised
abe cry of ''Firen' Instantly there was
panic in every room IN the school building.
The children rushed peIl NELL from the mar
low doors, crOWding, jostling and striking
each other in their efforts to get out. The
children were piled up at the foot OF the
stalrways IN heaps and all attempts to bring
order out of the confusion were at first
fruitless, but finally the firemen and
police were able to check the children,
although they had to contend with an ex-
cited mob OF weeping mothers that had ap-
peered as soon as the news of the fire spread
out over the neighOOrhood. The fire itself
amounted to little aud as soon as it was eX-
tinguished an examination OF the injured
was commenced, 1t was found that while
hundreds were badly bruised and shocked,
no one was fatally or seriously hurt.

arm. The bridal party swept into the
large salon parlOr lights shOne down
from globes of pearl, turning the dia-
mOnd tiara holding the brides veil in
place to one steady stream of fire; then
bride and groom stood beneath the
snowy bridal bell. The grOOm's re-
spOnses rang clear and triumphant, but
the brides voice sounded low and
tremulOus, back Of the heavy folds of
the lowered veil. At last the words,
4 pronounce you man and wife, were
spoken, and with a low breath of re-
lief, Falkland turned to the trembling
form at his side.
"NOw, my dear, give me a wifely
kiss, he said, smiingly trying to draw
aside the veil.
"The receipt first, she murmured,
keeping tight hold of the lace.
Laughing lightly, he took a paper
from his pocket and handed it to her.
CIutching the receipt she stepped to
Mr.. SherwOOd's side and thrust it into
his hand.
"Checkmated! !" rang out a girlish
voice, and Edna, followed by Rupert,
stepped from their place of conceal
ment back of the heavy window cur

demanded, gazing hercely at Edna,
who, attired in sweeping satin robes, a
bridal-veil resting upon her glorious
hair, seemed the exact counterpart OF
the yelled bride.

TAUGHT BY A COLLISION.
Regarding the Uncertainties OF
Life on Land and Sea.

Uncertainties of life was the topic of
Rev. w. S. Wallis sermon yesterday
morning before the Universalist
society at the Peoples theater. The
subject was suggested by the tragic
collision between two steamers in mid
ocean during the past week. Mr.. Vail
did not repeat the story, stating that
the daily newspapers had done that
better than it could be accomplished
from the pulpit. What remained for
him was to draw the attention of his
hearers to the precariousness and
feeting character of life in
ence,n he said, drought before
our minds certain great facts that
belonged to the very constitution
of the world and the system in which
we live, and everything that occurs of
larger Importance in the world is the
symptom of something that lies below
or is linked together with some great
spiritual fact with which it is the privi-
lege of the pulpit to deal. 1t seems to
me that when we remember this collis-
ion in the darkness and listen to the
voices of those who went down from
the deck as we'll as those who went
down in the boats, the uncertainty of
-tIlc Is tlit OIlG lIldU COllleS UPPER
most in our minds. When the Chris
tian church proposes to show men
that they may be happier here
and still stand in full view of this col
lision and disaster, it must be prepared
to meet these difficulties as they occur,
not only in this particular case, but as
they occur all around US every day of
our lives" The preacher then, by apt
illustrations from the lives of men,
demonstrated the possibility of living a
good and Christian life, whatever might
be the surrounding Circumstances
whether rich or poor. He also showed
that in every direction life was uncer-
tain; on the ocean, as we'll as On land,
and at home. But, while God had
placed US in a precariOus world, he had
also given us some things that no con-
ditiOns whatever could take away. The
greatest of all was the companionship
TO be obtained by the reading of books.
