bales were stored. awaiting shipment to
New York. The spark caught in the loose
part OF bale, and in a minute a blaze shot
up and spread In every direction
The colored wharf hands and clerks ran
out the compRny's hose, turned on stream
aud began moving the safe cotton out Of
harms way as quickly as possible, while
SerRt. Powell seut in an alarm for the fire
department from box No. 81.
The department responded quickly. but
when 1t reached the wharf the hands had
the fire under control and the firemen COM
pleted the work OF extinguishing it after
about half an hours work.
The promptness Of the employees OF the
Ocean Steamship Company is ali that pre-
vented disastrous ire. The cotton be-
longed to different trims The loss is not
heavy.

THE STORY OF A CLOCK.
How a Timepiece In Temple Hall Was
Furnished With a Motto.

How a Timepiece In Temple Hall Was
Furnished With a Motto.
Manchester Times.1
The following account of the origin of q
welLknown motto for timepieee, whether
true or false, is worth recording.
Some years ago new clock was made to be
placed in the Temple Hall; when finished,
the clockmaker was desired to wait on the
Benchers of the Temple, who would think
of suitable motto to be put under the clock.
He applied several times, but without get
ting the desired information, as they had
not determined on the inscription. Con-
tinuing to inportune them, he at last came,
when the old Benchers were met in the
Temple Hall, and had just sat down to din
ner. The workman again requested to be
informed of the motto; one of the Benchers,
who thought the application ill-tiIned, and
who was ionder of eating and drinking than
inventing original notices, testify replied,
''Go about your business"
The mechanic, taking this for an answer
to his question, went home and inserted at
the bottom of the clock, go about your
business" and placed it on the Temple
Hall, to the great surprise of the Benchers,
who, upon considering the circumstances,
agreed that accident had produced a better
motto than they could think of, and ever
since the Temple clock has continued to re-
mind the lawyers and the public to 60 about
their business

all her life has she looked SO lovely as at
this moment, when her heart is breaking
through grief and humiliation. She looks
taller, too, than usual, the heavy soft folds
of her velvet gown hanging by her sides,
giving her height while the diamonds
glitter in her hair and at her waist and in

The first room is absolutely empty. Rhoda
going rapidly across it to the ante-room be-

From the landing outside the sound of
voices can be heard, but they are evidently
those of some last goers-a man or two,
who had perhaps fingered to say a word to
Lord Barring.
With her heart beating almost 10 suffoca-
tion, she turns aside, and entering one of
the smaller drawing rooms looks round for
her hostess. Lady Barring is standing at
the farthest end of it in a sort of cushioned
recess with her back to a tall Japanese
