locked the outside front door and also
bolted back door leading to the wood
shed to keep the little boy from run
ming off. There was no one else on the

moment. Finally she told the boy to
get a chair and climb up till he could

then to bring her the key of her room
to the outside window, which after
long trying he succeeded in doing, and
she released herself from durance vile.

TEN MILLION TONS OF COAL.
New York Annually Consumes This
Amount with Lttlo Smoke.

Hhhoohe Win AAttio
A prominent New York coal mer-
chant, while showing Pittsburgh
friend about New York on the occasion
of the latter's first visit to the metropo-
lis, took him to the top Of one of the
very highest buildings in town and
pointed out to him the different OBJ
jects of interest that could be seen.
The western man took in the beautiful
view of the bay and then looked north
ward over miles and miles OF roofs and
chimneys, over The vast expanse of
street and park, business buildings and
dwellings, and then turned " his friend
with the remarh that the most astonish-
ing thing to him was that it was SO
clear Not a bot of smoke ,narred the
landscape. Clear and brilliant in the
sun of a brilliant winter day. New
York was clean and neat and the great
est possible contrast to the dingy and
grimy cities OF the west, where the use
of coal is not restricted to certain kinds.
New Workers have made study of
the combustion CT coal and they have
learned how to get the most out of it
with the least dirt and smoke. The
enormous amount of 100000 tons of
anthracite coal is low burned every
year in New York, and this is not at
all remarkable when it is considered to
what IN extent the use of coal enters
into the everyday life of the people.
The coal dealers of New York are le-
gion, and the business has grown to
Tho ,,
which coal can be shipped to New
York and unloaded III order to get it to
the market with the least possible hand
ling has contributed to great extent
to the success which New York coal
merchants nave attained.-N. Y. Mail
