He received it with a scrape and grin,
and another snatch at his wool, placed it
carefully in his pocket, vanished from the
room, and a minute later was heard in the
street initiating the yell Of locomotive
with frightful fidelity.
''Why do you trust your precious mis-
sive to that fibbert:gibbet2" asked Miss
Fairfax. "Has he sense enough to carry
it to the office?"
''Sense! Hos got sense enough to do
any thing in this world he chooses; but
he's the very spirit of mischief incarnate.
and there's mover any knowing what he'll
be up to. He'll keep straight this time, ]

only creature he stands in awe of, and
always threaten him with her when want

Two hours passed. and the bell rung
more than once before Cupid made his ap-
pearance He looked very demure, but his
hands and face were sticky and his eyes
been taking refreshments on his way

Until now, Master Cupid had delivered
his story without interruption Mamie
struck dumb with horror and amazement

boilers and the other by the electric APP
paratus which furnished light to the build
ing. w. 81. Huntley, a patient from Saline
County. who was in the boiler house when
the explosion occurred, was crushed
and scalded and must have died in
stantly. T. z. Saunders, a patient
from Pawnee County was killed in the
same manner. a. d. Clifford, another
patient, was dangerously injured. The
chief engineer, John Morrin, was thrown
through the building and scalded so
severely that he died last night George
Davis, second engineer, had one arm
broken and John c. Hall. a patient from
Omaha. was slightly injured. No one can
tell what caused the explosion. The
second engineer says that boiler No. had
just been blown off and fires were being
started in the other boilers. He heard q
