TWELVE LIVES LOST.
Horrible Fate of Guests Tn a
 Seattle Hotel.
BURNED TO DEATH IN BUILDING.

The Flames Spread So Rapidly That
 Only Few of the Inmates Had Time to II .ka Their Escaps Several Per
 sons Were Fatally Injured by Jump
 ing From the Windows.
 SEATTLE, Wash, Oct 99.-A fire by which at least l2 lives were lost and three persons injured occurred in West Street hotel at o'clock Saturday morn ing. All the dead were burned beyond Recognition. The fls&es broke out so sudde enly and ragged so fereely that the Mcupants were taken completely by surprise.
 A sharp explosion was heard in the kitchen and immediately the flames be- gan to spread rapidly through the dry inner timber of the corrugated iron building, The guests rushed for sheir lives and it was not too sodn.
 w. F. Butler, proprietor of the hotel says the fire undoubtedly originated from kerosene lamp in the kitchen, which Is located on the upper floor and near the rear wall. The flames made such rapid progress that before the in- mates could possibly be aroused the fire was upon them. Then they began to drop from the windows on both sides of the building, followed closely by the flames.
 D. E. Glass jumped out of Q window and struck on his back and lay strug- eling until picked up and carried to the Northern Pacific station, whence with two others, was taken to the hospital. 8one poor fellow was caught at the top of the stairway and there overcome with smoke and flames.
 There was some delay in getting wa ter on the fire, owing to the slowness of the fireboat in getting up steam. When the pressure did come the building was raging furnace.
 The first dead man taken out had one leg In his trousers and his shoes half laced. He was 80 badly burned as to be unrecognized as were all the other bodies.

CHAPTER V.

The afternoon sun was shining peace
fully upon the matched roofs of Nal
bourne. on the dark gray spire of its
-girdled church. and on the south
west front of Melbourne Rectory, At
one Of the sun-lighted windows sat
Lillian Maitland, busily writing, her
face directed to the prospect without,
which she occasionally looked upon In
her thoughtful pauses.
The lawn sloped quickly from the
windows to a road which was CON
cealed by trees, and beyond which rose
the park-like grounds of Northover
House in such a manner as to appear
but continuation OF the rectory
grounds. Somewhere down in the hol-
low by the road there danced and
murmured the bright little stream
which gave its name to Melbourne, and
which Lillian knew was sparkling
gayly now in the sunshine. as 1t
washed the dropping hart'stongue
waving from its messy bank Beyond
the cluster of village roofs on the right
spread 4 range of fiat, windy fields TO
the unseen sea, Behind the rectory,
and on the left Of Lllian's window,
rose the bleak chalk downs, strong
barriers against the wild salt winds
which swept over those regions, sum
mer and winter, from the sea.
Mark Antony, the cat, sat demurely
on the table Dy the blotting book,
thoughtfulIy scanning the sunny land
scape. and pretending not TO see the
pert little robin on the lawn, while
he occasionally appealed to Lil!an's
sympathes by rubbing his velvet head
against her cheek. or giving her a
dainty little bite, which he had copied
from his human friends, under the
impression that it was kiss In a
low chair. between the table and the
fire, sat a very pretty slender girl,
