 With a crash I let the lid fall, and sprang to my feet.
 What does this mean? l ask myself, with great beads of precipitation stream ing down my face, my limbs shaking beneath me. Did Madolines slight form ever lie within it? Had she in some way divised means to escape the fearful test? Yet, no; she had the potion-she had no hand in this. Could 1t be that some one had helped us in our need-some Heaven sent helper? Again, no; for no one on earth but myself knew our secret. Be sides, had not old Margaret herself seen the screws put in that slut out from her Sigkt her fair young mistress Yes, there was some plot in this-some one had been before me.
 Doubling even my own senses, I once more raise the lid. Empty space once more greets my gaze. In a perfect frenzy I sprang to my feet. With a shout which echoes far out into the night, cry, ''Who has done this? Is it friend or enemy"
 What is that sound in the bushes near me? Only a bird, no doubt-it is only a rustling, but it catches my only teo wide awake attention. 1 turn, and, with 8 bound, spring out of the vault for even in the darkness I see a dark figure, which is stealing out from behind the willow tree into the shadows beyond-a figure know only too well, for to me it is that of g demon in a misshapen human fOFm-a face which I know likewise.

 The cloak is safely tied round my waist, the chisel in my pocket
 Housing all my strength, crawl my way out of the bushes which have broken my fall, drag my limbs, which are strangely benumbed, wearily after me, and am out into the road.
 On, on, on, down the avenue, out through the gates, down the long, winding road.
 At last-at last I am at the churchyard 1; the gates open under my touch, l steal along through the rows of tombstones standing up like ghostly sentinels, warning me to forbear my dread mission; but on l go until see before me the tall, weeping willow, beneath which it had been Mado- lines wish that she should be laid, and there, true enough, beneath its shadow is what 1 seek.

 With one glance round 1 am at the spot. As do so a low, runbling sound like thunder makes itself heard. If 1 mistake not the storm which has threatened will break before long.

 Again that rumbling sound, as it echoes round me, I am in the vault, and before me Is what I seek Now, then, it is the chisel to work. Kneeling beside the coffin I grapple with each screw. They offer but little opposition, nay. turn easily un- der my hand. This is the last one. It is turned and drawn.

indebtedness Of the old company, his
security to be a mortgage on the propert y
at the usual rate of interest. He then pro-
posed to organize a new company, the
stockholders to pay 32114 cents q share to-
the new stock. II the stockholders did not
agree to this he would take the re-
manning shares at the stated price. thirty
days after the new company was formed.
The sale was made, however, against Mr'

ing resolution, "And said trustees are EUR

What II Reporter Saw and Heard.
While passing up Main street yesterday
an INDEPENDENT reporter happened to gaze
up Edwards street, and there saw displayed
in mid. air an immense banner extending
the whole width of the street at the junction
of Park avenue and Edwards street. SO
attractive was this combination of canvas
and lettering that his curiosity was aroused
and he halted to read the following, Fire!
Fire! Jaokson's entire stock consisting of
fifteen Thousand dollars worth of musical
goods for sale cheap for cash" 1t was with
a feeling of sadness that he perused the
above, and his thoughts drifted back to
the pretty store in tho Bailey block. Main
street, for a number of years the location
Of one of the most successful
store. On Sept. % Mr.. Jackson closed his
store and retired to his dwelling, little
thinking that on returning to his place of
business the following morning he would
find the fire tiend in possession; but such
was the case, and in consequence his flour.
ishing business was brought to u s%tandstill.
That the work of repairs might not be i'm
peded he found it necessary to remove his
stock to other quarters. while the process
OF remodeling was going on. His present
location is on Park avenue, near EDWARDS
street, in the store adjoining Watson's
grocery. In conversation yesterday with
Mr.. jackson (whom the reporter found IN
his new place, surrounded with nh army OF
assistants, rspoliahing and cleansing MI
stock, which was slightly damaged b3

would be sold Mt a great reduction. n por-
ton going at half price. as he will sooi
again open up on Main street with an on
tire new stock, much finer than anything
heretofore offered to the public.

Mr.. Thomas w. Keene, whose dramatic
ability is beyond question and whose mag
netism is far beyond that of any of the
admittedly great actors of the day, will
open his engagement in this city tonight
in Richelieu. Mr.. Keene is one, who,
through his painstaking and discriminating
efforts. has attained an en7iable em1nence
as a tragedian. Hia portrayal of the differ
emit characters gives evidence of deep
thought and a careful study. Much of his
success is due to u~ntirinR investigation and
incessant labor, but the greater part is due
to his Unborn genius.
Keene is somewhat different from the
greut tragedians who adorn the American
stage, in that the fro and vigor of youth
still remains. 'ee the elder Booth, for
the time being lie is the character which he
represents. Step by step he has climbed
the ladder of fame until there seems but
little left to gain. The sale of seats is
large.

THE CRACKER FACTORY.

The Site Selected and Bids Will Be Called
for Shortly.
Before Mr.. Garneau, Of the American
Biscuit company, left Helena, he purchased
a lot on which to erect the cracker factory
plant. II is opposite the Montana Central
depot, on the lot south Of the Kenck place.
1t is now being cleared of rock, and just as
soon as this is completed, bids for the con-
struotion of the building will be called for,
the plans of which are now being prepared.
It is tho intention to push the work ahead
as rapidly as possible, SO as to get to man
ufacturing. The territory in which the
Helena factory will operate will cover 3o(
miles. and it is estimated, judging by the
present consumption, that the difference
between what it costs to put the goods IN
that radius now, and what it will cost the
Helena factory to do the same work,
amounts to the neat little sum of $24,0O(
annually. Now for the candle factory.
