Fire! Fire! Fire! Help! Muir.

The tones were so shrill, strong and
startling, that the two, utterly mysti-
fed ran upstairs to find Mrs. Boddle
with wrapper thrown loosely on,
striding about the upper rooms as vig-
orously as if she had never been in a
sick bed in her life.

claimed, rummaging in a closet near

dows-Oh Lord!-that l should live to

The doctor, though greatly startled,
proceeded to lug down the furniture.
Aunt Easter stood as if paralyzed at
first, then she actually grinned as she
hurried away. Meanwhile Mrs. Boddle
was throwing bedding and clothing G
from the windows, and making frantic
attempts to discover where the flames
were located, and also shouting con.

too unenergetic to possess himself of
pronounced vices, and was thought to be-
lievc that his wife was the most perfect
and patient of women.
The gossips about Swallowfork Flats
said that:
Uncle Billy was good-too alfred
good IN fact, 50 gOUd that he fhadn' t
gumption enough to be bad When a
man walters contentedly through life
believing that black is white just be-
cause his wife tells him so, his friends
can't hel p wishing he had something in
his head more like brains than soft
boiled eggs"
And yet Uncle Billy's intentions
were always of the best. If he chose
to make himself the slave of Mrs. Bod.
die and her ailments, it might be said
to be family rather than public af-
fair. But his neighbors naturally hated
to see a man so angelically befooled.
To any friendly remonstrance Uncle
Billy would only shake his head.
"You don't know Malindy's constitu-
ton like me and her does Hits Won
der that last attack o dropsy on the
liver didn't kill her dead. Dr. Samp-
son said it was a plump wonder the
way he pulled her through"
Probably the doctor had his private
opinion, but as Mrs. Boddle had been
for years a most profitable patient, it
was not to his interest to make light of
the many complicated disorders with
which that astute woman declared her.
self afflicted from time to time. Of
course Uncle Billy's friends could only
hint their opinions delicately. But
Aunt Easter, the hired cook, and a
rather privileged character was wont
to be more openly skeptical.
"Drapsy OBJ de libber!" she said,
rather scornfully one morning, as she
returned from Mrs. Boddles room with
an armful of empty breakfast dishes.
"Hit's suttingly mo- like drapsy OBJ de
stummick. She's allays drappin' Wit
Ties down her throat"
But Uncle Billy remained faithful to
his domestic ideals, and month after
month submitted to his wife's every
whim with patience and serenity both
aggravating and admirable. One time
Doctor Sampson would be sent for,
post haste, to relieve an acute misery"
about the heart. At another, Mrs.
Boddle had presentiment that she
was destined to die of nervous prostra-
tion, superinduced by the exhaustion
consequent upon several previous rat
tacks, all equally severe and myster-
ious
Upon the last occasion Mrs. Boddle,
lying propped up with pillows, insisted
that Drs. Pepperpill and Slambang
should be called in, to consult with DR..
Sampson.
For somehow" said she feebly, chit
seems to me I'm bound to go this

"All right, Malindy," said Uncle Bill

Mrs. Boddle cast look of piteous re-

the bed, was solicitiously offering

Between the Department of State and

The Closure Bill in the House of Com
mons. Fss
LONDON, June 2.-The recent corre-
spondence on the Dehring sea fishery
question is published. On April, II Sir
Julian Pauncefote received cablegram
from Lord Salisbury expressing ap-
.proval of Secretary Blainc's suggestion
for cessation Of seal catching pending
the-axard Of the proposed board of ar
bitration.s In subsequent dispatches,
referrings to the modus vivendi, Sir
Julian informed Lord Salisbury that
Secretary Blaine preferred that the pro
posal for a close season should come
from Great Britain.
In dispatch of May 4, Secretary
Blaine's proposals are detailed.
On May goth Sir Julian Pauncefote
informs Lord Salisbury that the presi-
dent is anxious for reply; and on May
% he says the president is much con-
cerned but can not detain the cruisers.
May % Lord Salisbury informs MINI
lister Pauncefote of the bill introduced in
parliament to authorize the prevention
of seal killing by British subjects, and
declares that the government can take
no further action until the bill is passed.
The Bill Passed a Second Reading.
LONDON, June I'm the house Of
commons yesterday, Hon. w. Fl. Smith
moved the second reading of the bill
for closure of Behring sea- He said
that the government was endeavoring
to arrive at friendly conclusions with a
kindred power. No order in council
would issue under the bill unless as
surances were obtained that the condi-
tions of arbitration were satisfactory,
and that sealing would be prevented
except as to the $500 seals necessary
for the natives. The arrangement ap-
peared the best that could be obtained.
Sir John Ferguson said he believed
the reply about to be, addressed to the
United States government would bring
them SO closely together that harmony
