CHAPTER IVII,-A REFUGE.

1t was all over Iris had sent in her
money. She was in small lodging found
for her by Fanny Mere, who called her
cousin. She stayed indoors all day long,
afraid of stirring abroad: afraid to read
the papers; afraid that her husband was
arrested on the charge of conspiracy, and
fraud; afraid that some kind of hue and
CRY might be out after her.
Therefore, when she heard manly step
on the stair, she started and turned pale,
expecting nothing short of an armed mes
senger of the law. She never was in this
danger for a single minute, but conscience
made coward of her.
The step was that of Hugh Mountjoy.

of Fanny. The girl knew that she was
safe in letting me know your secret. Why

HIS MOTHER HONORED,
A Western Man Visits Her Tomb, but Can
not Find 1t.

At the club last evening I happened to
meet friend of my earlier years, now only
a visitor in Boston, who has acquired, to-
gether with a considerable fortune from
dressed beef or corner lots, or some other
peculiar y western industry, writes Traver-
ner in the Boston Post, many Of the moral
characteristics of that section, notably that
of entire friendship, in matters of personal
concern, in contrast with our eastern ret
icence. Among stories which are told
was of his pilgrimage to Mount Auburn to
visit, as he said, the tombs of his ances-
tors; in fact there is only one, his mother,
the West. 81 couldn't find the lot, - he
told me, although knew just where it
was; or, if did find it, some one seemed
to have jumped the claim; and when | got
home asked my sister about it, and who
it was that had put a big monument there,
with the name 'Theodosia' on it. Why,
that was the place, said my sister But who
is Theodosia? | asked That is mother,
said she; i know it WASH her name, but
it is pretty one and thought she would
like it. And, don't you see, John? |
thought mother looked lonesome in that
lot and | had a baby headstone set up
You don't mind il do you?'" My friend,
the cynec, who had listened gravely from
tie other side of the table, here remarked
that such thoughtful care for the tastes and
preferences of a person from whom moth
ing is to be expected was indeed rare in
this selfish world.

About 700 People Precipitated Into
the Water by Accident.
The Victims Piled on Top of Each
Other IL the Water.

HALIFAX, July ia terrible accident
occurred at Dartmouth tCnight. by which a
number of people were drowned: but the
exact number of victims cannot he known
until tomorrow. The disaster happened
by reason of the chain attached to a ferry
boat slipping out of place and allowing the
front OF a bridge to sink and precipitate a
crowd OF 600 to 700 men, woman and
children into the water. The people were
crowded there waiting for the new ferrv
steamer Annex, just arrived from New
York, to the dock. When the steamer
got within two feet of the landing num-
Der of perpons jumped on board apd at
that moment the accident occurred. The
outer end of the bridge went down sud.
denly and the terror-striken crowd
slipped off into the harbor as though they
were descending a slide, pi ing on top of
each other, shrieking for help and scram-
bling for means of safety. For some
minutes there was a confused mass of
Women and men and children struggling
In the water. but the accident had hardly
happened before dozen men leaped to
the rescue. Drowning people were rapidly
passed up to the men standing above the
wharves and the rapidity with which the
rescuers performed the work resulted in a
great majority of those who fell in being
saved from death. When the crowd slip
ped off the landing stage people around
numbering some hundreds, crowded to the
sides of the wharf and threw sticks and
boards to the struggling mass in the water,
while number of life prese1vers were
thrown them from the steamer. MANY
people were struck and injured by flying
boards and all the bodies recovered bear
cuts and bruises. Statements of specta-
tors show that most of those who fell in
were women and children, and the scenes
Immediately following the disaster were
frightfuI.
When all those in sight had been brought
to land, the work Of graphing for the
drowned ones commenced. Within two
hours four bodies were recovered, but up
to midnight no other victims have been
found. 1t is believed at least three or four
others are lost, but the exact number can
not be told at present. Intense excite
ment prevailed in Dartmouth and Hall
fax when the news of the disaster
spread and thousands focked to the scene,
where they remained until a late hour
watching those working in the water
Owing to the confusion, it is impossible
to tell who are missing, but the number
cannot be large.

covered are:
