it seemed as il it were a cry from the
woman he loved-his little Bohemian
girl she was; how the name suited her.
Suddenly there was shrek that
rang above the orchestra. paralyzing
the musicians SO that their instruments
dropped OF one accord. With a great
stride Desmond crossed the hall and
entered the conservatory, where already
a crowd had gathered. Silently they
made way for their host to pass, and in
another moment he faced the full hor.
ror OF the situation.

but she passed him by. and her eyes
sought out Ferris from among the group
about her. Send them away" she
moaned, feebly. Quietly the guests
moved off and took their departure. A
great hush fell over the brilliantly
lighted house.
In the conservatory only Desmond
and Ferris watched beside the suffering
woman. Would a doctor never come?
In the intensity Of her pain she made
frantic efforts to break away from them,
but they held her fast. For a moment
or two Ferris voice quieted her, and he
spoke gently, as to little child.

At the sound of his voice Mrs. Des-

puzzled expression, as il suddenly be-
coming aware of his presence. Then
she gave loud cry and dropped back
unconscious in Jim Ferris's arms.
Two servants and a distinguished
looking man entered the conservatory.

woman's pulse, then he put his ear to

There was knock at the door and a

On the landing Of the stairs Desmond
stopped, and picking a few sprays Of

stood there, thrust them into the lapel
OF his coat. The fragrance reminded
him of mis- brave little girl, and ne de-
scended to the drawing room with a
determination to smile blandly on his

keeping him from the woman he loved.

The largest room in the Rirney public
school building, at Hillsdale, was last night
inadequate TO accommodate the large
number of parents and friends of chill
dren attending the Hillsdale public schools.
The attendance was In response to an in
vitation from the principal, Miss Florence
Smith, end the ladies teaching with her
Miss Smith, in calling the meeting &c
order, briefly but tersely stated that its
purpose was to bring the parents and
friends of the children IN closer touch with
the school authorities, with view to con-
cert of action looking toward improving
the school facilitiesin Hillsdale. Miss Smith
thanked the parents for the regularity
of their childrens attendance, and urged
punctuality as well as attendance.
Remarks were made by eX-Trustee John
son, Messrs. Brown, Hunter, Dale. Gra-
ham and others, all of whom spoke en-
couragingly of the Hillsdale school and
thought that simple justice demanded that
the children should have better accommo-
dation than that now furnished them.
Special stress was laid by the speakers
On the unhealthy locality of the Hillsdale
building, which overlooks 'Stickfoot
Branch running stream Of water. One
speaker declared that it was not fit for
beasts to spend ten months out of a year
in, and it was cruel to force hundreds
of children into so unhealthy place.
The meeting was harmonious andearnest.

mittee, with rower TO increase and to look
after improving the school accommodation
