wandered about in a dazed condition
all that afternoon. That was why
Robert forgot his engagement with the
lawyer and left the house with his
head down. Sire. the dog. was not at
FIRST alarmed by the smell of fire. He
had seen the papers burning in the
crate and gone to sleep. When the
door was shut the smoke grew suffo-
eating and Sire saw the waste-paper
basket on fire and his barking and
scratching brought Bertha.
Ellen had told Bertha she was going
out in order to be unmatched. She had
gone down to the study to see II she
could not get hold of the will for Mrs.
Arnold. who had called. and she found
Robert there. She went back to her
room to wait until he went out and
laid down on her bed. where she fell
asleep.
The Oaf and the peddler were one.
The Oaf was the irresponsible brother
OF the Lacy girls, who killed them
selves by jumping from the burning
MIS-.
him on messages to Ellen. whom she
had bribed to keep her informed OF the
movements of the household. After
the fire Mrs. Arnold communicated her
suspicious of Robert to the oaf. whose
beloved sisters were killed because of
the fire. 1t was their grave that Emily
and Walter saw him decorating He
thought he would kill Shagarach first.
because il it were not for him, justice
would be done to Robert-hence his
attempts on the lawyers life.
Harry was innocent of any premedi-
tation in the Arnold fire. He acted on
impulse. Neither did he know that
his mother was spying on the house

A CONSTANT QUAKE.

seftion OF Street That Experiences Ac-
tual Perpetual Motion.
"A section of Goth street, New York,
daily enjoys sensations similar to those
caused by a constant succession OF
earthquake shocks, says the New York
Journal. Everything in the vicinity
trembles as il suffering from a mild
attack OF the ague. II is really per-
petual motion. There is a clubhouse in
this section right in the center Of the
trembling district. A recent visitor,
one who had not been there before, no.
ticed that objects on the mantel or else
where always moved slightly and that
ne himself felt strange vibration. The
friend with whom he was dining
laughed at his uneasiness. It's always
that way here" he said. Its only a
little shake, perhaps the hundredth
part of an inch, but it's perpetual. Some
day | fear the building will shake to
pieces all at once, just like the wonder
ful one-hoss shay The cause? Oh, it's
that electric light plant opposite. En-
glnes and dynamos running all the
time. Enough steam power is exerted
to blow the block to Jericho, enough
electricity generated to light square
mile brilliantly every night. All the
houses around here shake. remem-
Der when this block was a most ex-
elusive residential neighborhood. Now
at least half of 1.-THE half that shakes
mOst-is given over to small shops and
cheap theatrical boarding houses.
There's one pleasanter aspect, how
ever, to this vibration" Then the
clubman performed a pleasing expert
ment. He requested the caterer to
bring him glass of milk, some rum,
ice and sugar. These he blended, after
which he placed the glass upon the
window sill. In three minutes" said
the clubman, lit will be a perfect milk
shake" 1t was no exaggeration. The
vibration, though annoying, at least
supplied one want.
