mast was much liked, and it was real
pleasure 10 see his supple body make its
easy and exactly calculated movements.
Then there was silence, the orchestra
ceased playing.
1t was the great act of the evening, a
new exercise which had brought the circus
s sooiu9nal success; the passage, with the
htad I'D Dag. from one trapeZe to the
other; then, suddenly, dizzy fall into the
stretched net.
Inc TWO trapeZes were swinging with
regular movement. Jacques, standing on
little board. his head in a black velvet
nag, put out his hand like blind man.
The spectators held their breath; the man
was about to leap.
He leaped.
A terrible cry suddenly arose.

where he lay mOtionless.
Zet.e had risen straight Up. pale as
death, with hoarse cry, and stood frozen
by horror, her eyes fixed on the stretcher
upon which some men were now bearing
away the inert body of her Trend.
Then, suddenly grasping her mothers
arm, she said in hollow voice:
Come.
And, making their way through the
crowd. the two women reached the tables.
But when there they could go no further;
entrance was forbidden. And they stood
for long time listening TO what was said
around them. No one knew anything.
At last Nine. FIoury saw clown whom
she knew To be ore Of jacques friends
and who had come out of the refreshment-
room into which the gymnast had been
carried. She called MIN.
The wadded rail and the net broke the

and whose face looked all upset beneath
his makeup "The doctor says he will
recover, but he will be a cripple, so he can
perform no longer, Poor Jacques and
there was great deal in him, too!'
Nine. Floury glanced at Zette; she was
still very pale and gazed fxedly at the man
who had spoken as if 10 ascertain that he
was aot concealing anything Finally she
said:
''Let us 90 home"
And, thanking the clown for his in-
formation. she quilted the circus.
1t was without saying anything to each
other that the Two women crossed the fair
grounds; still without saying anything to
each other they climbed the little wooden
steps; but when. after having lighted the

smile on her lips. she grew frightened,

A COLLEGE FIRE.
The Dormitory OF the Central Wesleyan
at Warrenton, No., Destroyed
Several Persons Injured.

WARRENToN, No., June 15.-At
10 O'Clock tonight the dormitory
of the Central Wesleyan College
was discovered on fire. An alarm
was promptly sounded, but the
flames made such headway that by
1890 O'Clock the building was in
ruin. 1t was a comparatively new
building and cost $14 900 when
erected. Its contents was valued at
SO, 900 more. At the time of the
fire full 1920 people were in the
college hell in attendance on the
commencement exercises. That
panic did not ensue was due to the
presence of mind of the presiding
officers, who quietly had the doors
locked and kept them SO until quiet
was restored. At late hour the
fire threatened to spread to other
buildings. Several persons were
hurt by falling timbers, but the ex-
tent of their injuries are not known.
The electric lights were shut off to
prevent accident, leaving the city
in darkness. Prof. Kessler, proefsor
of theology, fell from the roof of
one of the buildings threatened and
broke both lower limbs, besides
, sustaining serious internal injuries.

! New York CITY, June 13.-We
arrived at Chicago last Tuesday
morning. We spent nearly three
days at the Fair and saw as much
as we could in so short time, Wis
iting the Transportation, Agricul-
tural, Manufacturers, Liberal Arts,
Electrical and Horticultural build
ings. One of the most interesting
sights to me was the Convent of La
Rabida. In this building are stored
the relics of Columbus and many
| pictures representing scenes in his
life's history.
The German building contains
many fine specimens of wood cary
ing. Most of these are copies ofthe
crucifxion OF Christ.
Nearly all of the states have fine
buildings, and the states of Illinois,
California, New York and Washing
ton have about the best displays.
1t is very interesting to walk
through the Midway Plaisance. Here
all the important nations of the
world have buildings. All of them
dress in their native costumes.
Nearly all of them have something
to SELL
We left Chicago Friday afternoon
for Niagara Fails and arrived there
next morning. Niagara is quite a
large place but its greatest pest is
the carriage drivers and souvenir
sellers. One is bothered with them
from the time he arrives till the time
he leaves. We obtained splendid
view of the Falls from Goat Island
and the new Suspension Bridge.
The Falls are sight which one will
ever remember. We arrived at New
York Sunday morning, coming by
the West Shore line along the West
bank of the Hudson. This is fine
place for scenery. In the afternoon
we went to Central Park. This is a
lovely place, laid off in fine drives
and walks. The main avenue is
especially beautiful, lined on both
sides with fine forest trees. At the
end of this avenue is a large foun-
tain. One of the chief sights of this
park is the Egyptian obelisk and
Cleopatrai's Needle. The climate of
this country is gradually wearing
away this obelisk. Yesterday we
went to Brooklyn and spent most of
the day. While there we saw the
Brooklyn Tabernacle and the Church
of the Messiah. These are both grand
editices. The Brooklyn Bridge was
quite sight for us and from here
we got splendid view OF New York
and the adjacent islands. On the
way home we saw Castle Garden, the
old landing place of the emigrants.
Our steamer leaves here to-mor-
row. Yours Truly,
