ago, however, he unexpectedly returned
homo with large fortune. There was
joyous meeting between husband and
wife SO long separated, but once more
happily reunited. Strange to say, his
wife had lived single all these many
years with the dim hope of once more
seeing her husband. They are both quite
aged now, being upward of seventy

GoRDOy'S RETURN.


NV first impulse on reading the telegram
was to telegraph the joyous news to Judith,

Gated little by little, as my confidence in
him increased, all tho principal facts of the
case, overruled my desire.
Probably, as you suggest, +" said he, "Mr.
Gordon's name has been omitted for pru-

to prove that he is In Berlin, and it would
be unwise, not to say cruel, TO convey that
belief to Miss Bell until we have positive
assurance that be is beyond the reach Of the
Russian police, She does not expect him
so soon, and 1t seems to me worth the de.
lay of couple of days to avoid even the
possibility Of giving bitter disappoint-
ment."
The bare snpposition that Gordon might
not arrive with Ivan Dontremember in
spred me with such poignant regret that
readily yielded to my solicitors direction,
so that Judith was at least spared the SON.

Calais boat. Nearer and nearer it came,
and almost as soon as I could distinguish
one passenger from another on the deck I
saw handkerchief futtering on the bridge,

George Gordon. He wore light colored

at 6:3O yesterday morning what might
have been serious conflagration was
averted only by accident. The build

steam laundry is located, was saturated
from top to bottom with oil. and every
preparation had been made for it's de-

such recklessness could have been used
in the work without discovery at that
an hour, but such is the case That
there is firebug in the city's midst can
be verified by Mr.. Karch, of the Dixie
steam laundry, who was the immedia to
obstacle in the way of his design.
The details wore perfectly arranged.

story and poured upon tho boxes
directly under the spot where the oil
had been tnrned on. After completing
this the miscreant gathered together
linen found in the laundry and set it on
fire on tho first floor.
About this time Mr.. Karch had ar
rived on the scene, entered from the
boiler room, and luckily quenched the
flames. Tho incondiary by this time
had either escaped by the window or
had fed directly after Dir. Karch en-
tered the building. The action was so
premeditated that it has the appear.

been entered by the window near the
belt which runs through to the top
story where the paints are ground.
The intcrlopers must other have
escaped by that window or have waited
until Mr.. KaIch was busy in the boiler
room and taken that opportunity to
escape by tho front door. The material
with which tho fire was started was
linen taken from tho shelves. After

commenced to ooze through the ceiling.
