up at the anxious face bending above
her.
"You have had nice sleep, do you
feel stronger"
"Yes am stronger, but am afraid
you do not find me very entertain
ing" She spoke family and hesitat-
ingly, but with no shade of resent
ment or fear apparent in voice or
manner. Nor did she make an effort
to sit up. She was yet too weak.
II would not have you otherwise
than just as you feel to be. can
wait and watch the night through if
you need me, but do long to be as
sured that you feel kinder towards
me, that at last you are reconciled
to accept manifest destiny" He
spoke gently but with restrained
eagerness.
A slight spasm of pain was at first
her only answer, how could she help
it, when reminded what that destiny
was to.sbe. There appeared 10 her
only two courses possible, either was
terrible. But she held back her
dread and answered with the same
faint smile again crossing her lips.
II suppose must accept it. 1 see
no escape do you?" looking at him
directly and suddenly with her Won
derfully magnetic eyes.
He was on his knees beside her
instantly, and slipping his arms I'M
der her shoulders drew her towards
HIM, while. all that was best in his
nature was reused to do her homage.
30 my darling! do not speak in that
hopeless tone! 1 will love you so,
your life shall be one long dream of
delight. We have many years yet
to live, and 1 love you so that l can
become anything you may desire.
We will 60 south or west, to foreign

have plenty of money, and observing
the involuntary shrinking Of the
form that lay in his arms, he fastened
to say: II shall have plenty of money
honestly earned"-and then he hest
tated again, his newly awakened
desire to speak the truth was not
quite satisfied, and for wonder his
tongue so glib to lie faltered.
II mean dear, that not a dollar
comes by the way of cards, therefore
you need not fear to accept it," He
lifted her hand and looked at it, thin
almost to transparency. Poor little
hand we will have no more work for
it," putting it to his lips. MAY not
my great love win forgiveness for all
the wrong have done you?"

ELSA
The White Face At The Window,
Written by Edith Aiken for the Light.

FIRST CHAPTER BEGAN IN NO. 133. JUNE &c ]
"Never, never, never! l hate you!
I fear you! and if there is no escape
for this wretched body it shall come
to you cold as death can make it"'
She stood before him no longer des-
pairing or pleading, but defiant and
sure of one escape, her thin face white
and cold as the snow that beat at her
window, while every drop of vital
force seemed conferred in her red, red
lips and blazing eyes.
The man had gradually neared her
as they talked, and now with a quick
motion showing great strength and
dexterity, he moved the chair from
between them, and imprisoned the
frail woman in his arms. Elsa
was tall woman. and Hedge Wood
burn held her with her shoulders
crushed against his breast, her head
lying back upon his arms, and her
first effort showed the impotence of
her power to move. But with the
exception of being held thus closely
she was not disturbed. He smiled
down at her as he might at petulant
child, but did not speak.
Then. the fire faded from her wide
open eyes, the red from her lips, and
her whole weight lay in his arms.
"Poor fierce creature" he muir
INJURED, sit is better so. 1t is a cruel
warfare but I shall conquer in the end
of course. How 1 should like to kiss
the life back to this dear face, but no,
not a kiss upon her lips until they
will return it!n
He bore her to..the lounge and laid
her tenderly down, arranging the
pillows so that her breathing might
be easy, then brought water and
ohafed her hands and brow. He
knew that she was in no danger,
therefore he was rather glad than
otherwise, that nature had failed her
feeling that the will would now soon
yield to the weakness of the body.
Therefore he was gratified and not
surprised when her eyes opened in
diligently yet with no resentment in
their far depths, and though she
uttered no word she did not shrink
from his touch upon her head and
about her face, nor withdraw her
hand resting in his; and when he
lifted her up and put the glass of
water to her lips, she drank, and
then lay back submissevely.
"You:feel better now dear?"
ayes I feel better"
She lay back with closed eyes, and
the man we'll satisfied with the pro-
gress of his work leaned back in his
chair, more than content to watch
her in silence, and hold her hand as
he was permitted to do. Had she
yielded? she who for so long had
walked over burning plough-shares
as it were, without compromise to
emergency or necessity, had she let
her soul down from its high stand
ard at last. Not at all! Though the
frail body could not resist its weak
ness, the resolute consciousness scarce
ly lost itself, and while the man with
ready and respectful touch ministered
to her necessities, her clear brain
planned her escape.
After this she became so peaceful,
so serene in her entire acceptance Of
her apparent fate, that worn out by
the anxiety of the last two or three
weeks, and the fierce excitement OF
the last hour, she dropped to sleep,
and slept for one hour while her lover
watched,
When at last she stirred gently,
and opened her eyes she was still on

A TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.

"rommy' Donahue, the Athlete,
 Badly Injured at New Haven.
 Thomas Donahue of New Haven, well known here as a clever athlete and boxer, was frightfully and probably fatally injured by the explosion of one hundred or more caps in the fulmina- ting department of the Winchester re- beating arms company yesterday.
 Donahues left forefnger was torn off the left hand and wrist were burned and mutilated and his chest and forehead terribly torn, being filled with the brass primers. The sight of one and perhaps both eyes is destroyed.
 Donahue's work was to run what arc termed primers into machine. Tester day he had run but two or three primers through the machine when one explo- ded and was instantly followed by 8 fusilade, the noise somewhat resembling the discharge of Gatling gun. The force of the first explosives had set off a quart measure full of the caps: Donahue was thrown violently to the floor and was rendered unconscious. Dr Hawkes. cared for the injured man mn l til the arrival of the ambulance and ac- companied him to the hospital.
 The explosion shattered the cast iron machine into bits, partially wrecked the corner of the room where it stood and blew the window panes out of the side ot the building.

DEFIANT NOTICE TO THE GEAR
The German Emperor Determined to Force
 Russia's Hand.

The Young Monarch's Action Indicates
 The Increase ot Germany's Army Con-
 sidered WarlIke-Shonld Russia Further
 Increase Her Force n Crist. Will Soon
 Be Precipitated Press Comments.
 LONDON, Sept 6.-Little by little the German army is being increased and one army corps after another is being added to its effective strength.
 Since the opening of the year no less than four corps have been added and now the Emperor has given orders for the formation of fifth with head quarters at Bromberg on the eastern frontier.
 r. This move is evidently intended as 8 reply to Russia who continues to mass her troops upon her western frontier and in this way Emperor William serves notice upon the Czar that he does not mean to be caught mapping.
 | The German press comments upon l this latest move of the Emperor are full of significance. It Is pointed out that, | contrary to the usual custom in such cases, there is no attempt at conceal 1 ment. The Emperor seems to have taken special pains to give the fullest | possible publicity to his plan to mass a l formidable force on Russia's frontier l and this the German press accept as 8 | note of defiance. The moro sensational of the Berlin papers go 80 far as to say | that this indicates determination on
 the part of the Emperor to force Rus 1 sias hand. Should Russia reply by
 further increasing her force on the Ger
 man and Austrian line, as is confidently
 expected, the crisis will he preeipitated | before the end of the year.

Sports and Pastimes 1ndulged in by
 the Butchers Yesterday.

ticEets si in % ali the h lotteries % that crop out but among all the chance ticket buyers it is doubtful if in all the number can be found one so foolish as the envious Chi cago woman who, failing to win prize, was so vexed that she prevented her brother -in-law's winnings of $15,OO0 from being collected by an injunction, there being some dispute as to the own ership of the prize. This brought the matter to the attention of an association of citizens dealing with the evils of the lottery, and as result proceedings were begun which resulted in the confiscatlon of the prize under an old state law.

BURNING IN A CELL.
Horrible Scene at tho Station House Last Night.

Horrible Scene at tho Station House
 Last Night.
 Mrs Mary Noonan of Long hill was ar rested at 6 o'clock last evening for drunkenness and placed in the last cell in the lookup. About half past seven Chief Egan and Lieut. Root heard screams coming from the cell. Both rushed down stairs and throwing open the inner door, opening to the cells. a mass of flames was issuing from the cell in which was Mrs Noonan, and the screams of agony become more frightful: Lieut. Root unlocked the cell door and passing by the officers to the front en terance. The officers with the assistance of William Scully, the opera house lithographer and two of the Phoenix fire company who were attracted by the screams, succeeded with coats and blankets in subduing the flames, but not until the clothes had almost entirely heen burned off the unfortunate woman. Dr North was summoned and injected morphine tosdeaden the pain. It was horrible picture, a middle aged woman almost entirely nude, with the upper part of her body, her arms and one side of the face badly burned, while one moment she would beseech the doc tor with prayers to relieve her from hel agony or kill her, the next she would break into terrible imprecations, whose fearful utterance penetrated through the whole street. An express was calico and the poor victim was placed on the stretcher and driven to the tOwI house, where she now lies in serious condition. The only way accountable for the accident is that she had con cealed about her person some matches and in her drunken frenzy had ignitet one setting fire to her clothing. Chief Egan had been in there five minutes before he heard the screams and every thing was then all right. Chief Egan and Lieut. Root received painful burns each on the left hand. Dr O'Hara, who is attending the woman to-day, says hel death is only question of few hours.

A WONDERFUL EXHIBITION
Given by Lena Loeb, the Electric Girl,
 This Afternoon.

Given by Lena Loeb, the Electric Girl,
 This Afternoon.
 Miss Lena Loeb, the electric girl, gave a free exhibition of her powers in front of the postoffice on Bank street, in the presence of large audience. Her first test was to find an article hidden by Editor J. J. Splain of the DEMOCRAT, who had never met the lady until five minutes before the exhi- bition took place. The lady after being blindfolded took hold of Mir Splain's wrist and at once started at a rapid pace down the street. The news paper man attempted to cross Grand street, but Miss Loeb at once turned the corner and after a little hesitation en- tered Moriarty' 8 furniture store. After a search of few minutes she found a small note book of the Waterbury Blank Book company in a bureau drawer in the second story. The book was the ob- ject hidden by Mir Splain and no one but himself knew where it was secreted.
 The second test given by the wonderful lady was the finding of pin hidden by Dr $. B. Mum. Miss Loeb was blind folded as in the first case and taking Dr Mum by the wrist walked directly across the street and into the doorway leading to Hills art gallery. Behind a frame of photographs pin was found sticking in the wall which the surprised doctor acknowledged was the article he h ad secreted.
 The lady will give an exhibition in the opera house tonight and Saturday night and Sunday night. The entertainment is certain to be a most novel and inter esting one, and those who have any ap preciations of the occult and mysterious should not fail to attend.
