cowed and shrinking, trembling and dazed m ignorance of what had caused offense, with eyes that each moment turned in mute l appeal, and longing looks of prayerful peti- tions for forgiveness, she went forth. | Out and away into the gloom, into the blaelness of night that was as midday to l the ebon that closed in upon her soul. He, the tyrant, still burning with the fire of un- bridled wrath, watched her, with seeming | unconcern, even with seeming pleasure, until no slightest semblance of her beautiful form was discernible; then with swift, long strides he turned and entered the house, sought his lonely chamber and cast himself upon his bed.
 Long, long, were the hours during which he vainly sought to find oblivion in sleep. That precious gift came not to carry him into tho land of forgetfulness. Instead, beating upon his brain and heart, there came the loud knockngs of compunction and self-upbraiding for the vile, unmanly act into which he had suffered himself to be betrayed.
 When, worn with tossing, he finally drifted into the realm of dreams, no bright visions refreshed him; the haunting spirit of unrest was still in possession and he groaned in his sleep
 E Lf that darted through the lattice of his windows reached his wide-ope1 eyes as he lay, all unrefreshed by the fitful slumber, struggling with the pride that fought against the claims of his awakened con science.
 He could recall that even to his dulled senses the beating of rain and rushing sounds of winds had told of suddenly risen, fierce, wild storm that had swirled through the night-hours
 He forced himself to reject tho thought that mayhap Bessie had wandered into the nnsheltered open, needless of q place of rest, fearing or not caring to return to the home from which she had been so harshly driven, refusing to occupy any of the many places awaiting her for repose, if banished from the chamber of her lord. He argued that of a certainty she had hidden her grief in some distant apartment of the great mansion.
 But rest he could not; hastily arising at last he donned the clothing he had cast from him on retiring and with stealthy steps searched through his silent home
 Bessie was not there
 Qalekeung his steps he descended the broad staircase, snatched a hat from the deerantlcrs in the hall and wandered out amopg the still dripping trees

Fire In Fireworks Establishment iu Boston, Resulting in tho Death of sev'
 eral Persons and the Destruction of the
 Builhing-An Exciting Time Among the
 Exploding Pyrotcchnic.
 BOSTON. June 22.--A disastrous Ire, ac- companied by loss of life. occurred early yesterday evening in the fireworks estab- lishment of Hyer Bros, corner of Sum ner and Hawley streets. Three dead bodies have been taken from the ruins and three persons are known to be fatally injured. tis feared that there may b. more victims among the debris The building was occupied on tho ground floor by c. E. Browning, milliner, and ol tho three upper floors by Hyer Bros, dealers in fancy goods and fireworks.
 A salesman discovered the fire on tie second floor shortly after five o'clock. The flames spread rapidly, cutting of the escape of several men in the upper sto- ries, and in five minutes the dense smoke and almost incessant discharge of fire works made the building a pandomonium for those confined within it's walls.
 Edward Hyer, one of the firm, was nearly overcome by smoke. He man. aged to climb to an adjoining building and escaped unhurt.
 c. A. Gage, aged twenty, dropped from the third-story window, and broke his neck
 Chas. F. Callahan, of No. 426 Chelsea street. East Boston, and Thomas Payne, packers, who were working on the fourth floor, jumped from a window in their fright. Payne was instantly killed, and Callahan's injuries may prove fatal.
 Wm. Brenenstuhl, who was on the sec- ond floor. was doing good service in checking the flames, but lost his way while carrying water and rolled down the stairs. He was injured so badly that it is feared that he can not recover.
 body taken from the burning build- ing has been recognized as that of Saml. Cord, the chief packer of the firm.
 The body of boy was also taken to the morgue and has not yet been identified.
 The firm employed from twenty to twenty five men and boys and carried a stock of Sl000) worth of fireworks and 5000 to S60, 900 worth of fancy goods, which is we'll insured. A large portion of the stock is ruined
 During the fire the discharge of fire- works sounded as if a battle was in progress. Occasionally a rocket would shoot ont of the windows. The interior Of the building was completely ruined, but the walls are left standing. The em. ployes were largely foreigners and were known to the firm by their first names only, and this fact may add to the diff. culty of ascertaining whether there are any other bodies in the building. The cause of the fire is not known.
 LATER. Q A later investigation shows five lives lost, two boys missing and one man probably fata fly injured. The dead are. Samuel McCord
 c. r. Callahan.
 Thos. Payne.
 One unidentified man.
 One unidentified boy.
 Fatally injured; c. A. Gage.
 Missing: John E. Anderson and Charles Policy, both boys.

 What sound was thatl A groan7 It was. not a cry, twas too faint to be called by that name; 1t was murmur of distress, a moan of pain, as of one stricken to death and that death near, very near at hand.
 A terrible, sickening fear struck like N dagger-thrust through Thurlow's heart The agony of one moment of that time was punishment indeed for his ill doing.

 Disgusting with an effort the pain that throbbed within him, to all appearances the cool, wise master, he gave his orders.
