Wells is erecting on Fifth street would
have been destroyed by fire last
Thursday night. The night watch
man noticed blaze and smoke coming
from the outside of the building. The
neighbors were awakened and with
their assistance the fire was extinguish-
ed before much damage was done.
In all probability it was caused by a
spark from fire which the carpenters
had built in an open CRATE, passing be-

and weather boards.

salary of $40 600 a year was beg
carly sort of thing, unless man ex-
pected to get up higher.
The call the friends made together
that evening was on a young girl and
her mother. The mother came sec
ond. Searle had been infatuated for
some time. Now they were engaged.
The young lady could scarcely be said
to be in society; and she was only in
moderate circum stances. But Searle
was so happy that he eagerly wished
every one of his friends to see Miss
Eastiake, and appreciate his good
fortune.
Did Hammond think her sufficiently
handsome? Searle, with masculine
faulty, asked himself the question
several times in the course of the
evening. Hammond's face was under
all circumstances non committal. But,
on the other hand, not to acknowl-
edge the beauty of Adrienne Eastlake
was impossible.
Hammond, pleading another APP
pointment, left early. Searle fingered
behind half an hour later.
ssWhat do you think of Hammond"
he asked, looking down at the girl as
she sat before him in a low chair, her
head thrown back.
81 have only seen him once" she
said evasively- Her manner to the
man she was going to marry was cool,
calm, elusive. But, unconsciously,
blinded by his own engrossing passion,
Searle invested it with a reflected
fervor.

woman history
comes back to me ever and again,
point for point, step for step.
Her brow has the same marble
smoothness; her shoulders, when she
sits in the blaze of her opera box,
diamonds that would grace a queen
shimmering on their whiteness, are
as incompara BILE as ever.
Time and again, her calm, inscruta-
BILE eyes meet, with a feeting glance,
her husbands. They quietly, un-
demonstratively despise each other,
these two. But, again, who would
know it?
But that was ten years ago. The
then. On a moist, foggy afternoon
in January, young man with a keen.
set, determined countenance, and
eyes brooding, calculating, summing
up, combining as he went along the
crowded city streets, was accosted by
another man of about the same age,
who was fastening, though somewhat
more leisurely, in the opposite direc-
ton.
"Hullo, Hammond"
Hammond half wheeled round and
stopped.
'If you've nothing else on hand,
come and make that call with me to-
night" said Searle.
Hammond was conscious of no spe-
cial eagerness. But Searle was a
rather good friend of his-the best he
had. That was, perhaps, not saying
IL
few. He had come from rural dis
trict to the great city, resolute upon
making his way. How he lived he
himself best knew for few years.
There were times when the strug-
gle was fought at such close quarters
that his board-bills often remained
unpaid. But at the darkest the
logged determination in him never
faltered. He used now and then
to walk up the fashionable streets at
night and loiter a moment lost in
the crowd of street Arabs of small
and large growth, at the house of q
well-known prince of finance, over
whose front steps an awning extended
to the curb.
The noise1essly opening and shut
ting door at the head OF the steps
gave glimpses of an interior of light
and warmth. To the curb there
drove up long, slowly moving mass
of diverted carriages, disgorging their
! contents on the carpeted way. Ham
mond would stand there an instant
or two, observant of the scene.
'Some day." a voice within him
would say, 81 shall open my doors il
this fashion, or drive up to this very
door as these people do now"
Searle was but insufficiently cogni-
zant of these characteristics of his
/ friend. He liked him, did him &
good turn when he could, and un
4 bosomed himself to him as the more
prosperous man will occasionally dc
to the confidant whose fortunes ar
not so excellent as his own
Hammond, had he been asked t
give his opinion, would have remarked
that to be the manager of a bank. OF
