Yesl 1t was no weak wandering of
the mind. God had heard my prayer
for mercy, and at moment when l
least expected rescue He had saved me
from fate terrible beyond conception.
Three weeks had passed since the de-
5truction of the theater
During this time had lain on bed
OF sickness and insensibility. My life
had been well-nigh despaired of, and l
had had a very narrow escape of sue
cumbing to a severe attack OF BRAIN
fever.
But, thank heaven, l was at last ont
Of danger and well on the road TO con-
talescence.
As / reclined upon couch bade
Fred tell me the story of my rescue.
1t was this:
On the night of the fire he went to
the theater to meet me. After waiting
In vain for some time he concluded
that he had missed me. On his ar
rival at my home he learned that had
not yet come; thus 1t was that, in the
hope OF ascertaining the cause of my
absence, he returned to our usual
trysting place, which was at one Of the
back entrances.
As he passed the Office window he be-
held, from the opposite side, the refec-
ton of flames, and was about to call
assistance when my screams reached
his ears.
With as little delay as possible he
procured ladder and bravely saved me
at the risk of his own dear life.
''Ah, Fred, how can / ever repay
your I cried, pressing the hands
which lay locked in mine.
by trying to get well as quick as
you can" he emily replied, showering
kisses upon the lips which had never
responded to the caresses of another
man.
&C ONE, darling. when will you be my
wife?"
What. Fred, would you really marry
n woman whose face is forever disfg-
ured and rendered uglyP"
How well I knew what his answer
! would be. / think a negative would
have broken my heart
Folding me in his arms, he said:
MY little Stellal To me those scars
are as proofs of virtue and love When
ever gaze at your dear face feel that
you suffered all for my sake; for had
you not the option of leaving that
building as you entered it-a woman of
beauty and attractions? Though the
world may consider you somewhat dis
figured, shall ever think that those
marks but tend to enhance the fascina-
tions of those sweet cheeks whose roses
I claim"
"And dZetch-what is become of him?"
timidly inquire ed.
Fred averted his face and was silent.
After pause repeated my question
Taking my hand kindly in his, he
gazed searchingly into my eyes and
/ said:
Stella, are you strong enough
brave enough to learn the truth?"
Yes" gasped
you will never again be trou bled
with his attentions for he is dead"
There was a reverential compassion
In his voice, as he spoke of the mis-
guided man who had tried SO hard to
wreck our happiness.

Buried among the ruins Of the

during the consideration Of the Wilson
bill, he said Il great many things which
will go into the books as permanent ana
valuable contributions to tariff l!tera-
ture Speaking about the history or pro-
lection he says:
The history of protection has been
most remarkable. Fifty years ago, the
question seemed to be closed. Great
Britain had adopted free trade, the unit
ed States has started in the same dlrec-
ton, and the whole world seemed about
to follow. Today the entire situation
seems to be reversed. The whole civilized
world, except Great Britain, has become
protectonist, and the very year last
passed has witnessed the desertlon OF
English principles by the last Engllsh
colony which held out This has been
done in defiance of the opinion OF every
political economist in England who wrote
prior to 1850, and of most of those VINO
have written since.
"When you add to this that the argu-
ments against it have seemed so clear
and simple that every school boy can
comprehend them and every patriot with
suitable lungs could fill the atmosphere
with the catch words Llaughterl, the
wonder increases that in every country
it should still flourish and maintain IT'S
vigor. Ten years ago it was equally
true at one and the same time that every
boy who graduated from college gradu-
them who afterwards became a producer
or distributor of our goods became also
protectionist
THE arguments of the political econo-
mist, clear as crystal do not seem TO
have convinced the world nor, what is
much worse, do they seem to have made
any substantial progress. On the CON
trary these economists have taken up
the task of tearing each other to pieces,
so that today there is hardly Il namable
important proposition on which they
agree, and the more the facts of the uni
verse are developed the more confusion
seems to reign among them. Meanwhile
the world has proceeded in its own way
without much regard for their theories
and their wisdom. / do not mean that
studious men have not discovered great
truths and had glimpses of still greater,
but in the main they have only passed
from one inaccuracy to another, because
they have forgotten that the whole race is
wiser than any man." [Applause.l

GOLD IN A BANDITS CAVE.
Treasure in Mexico-Some of the Ex-
plorers Losing Their Lives.

plorers Losing Their Lives.
The people of the town of Sabinas and
surrounding country to the south of Lam
pasas, Mexico, are excited over the dis
covery of bandits cave, in which fabu-
lOuS wealth is believed to be stored.
The cave, says a correspondent of the
ST. Louis GlobeDemocrat was the rem
devious of the famous bandit, Ell Col
orado, and his followers, who terrorized
all of Northern Mexico about century
ago. 1t is situated in the Iguana mount
aims, near Sabinas, and was first dis
covered three months ago by an old man
named CuevaS, who in some manner had
just come into possession of a chart Civ
ing the location of the cave. He and
three sons and four other relatives started
to make an exploration of the cave.
In an inner compartment they found
large pile of silver coin of ancient coin
age. They had filled one sack with the
money. when they were all overcome
with the fire damp with which the cave
was filled, and only four of the party
succeeded in reaching the open air alive
Old man CuevaS was taken very i'll as
the result of his terrible experience, and
in few days he died.
On his death-bed he confded to the
priest the secret of the cave, and a party
of explorers was at once organized to
visit and secure the treasure 1t was
headed by Silverio Cara, Il prominent
citizen of Sabinas They were all driven
out of the cave by the nOXiOuS gases, and
two members of the party have died
from the effects of the poison which they
inhaled.
The news of the second expedition had
become public, and the authorities have
placed guards at the cave to guard the
treasure until further explorations can
be made. The general government has
been notified of the situation.

steeple was struck by lightning The
building is lighted by electricity, and the
wires carried the current all over the
house. Every light was put out and the
globes came down upon the Worshipers

women began to shrek and a panic
seemed imminent. But one of the dea-
cons had great presence of mind and he
began singing. Everyone was electrified
to hear the line, Praise God from whom

lips. He continued others joined in the
