Felicie obeyed him promptly. It was
indeed blessed relief from torturing

weary head sank feebly upon the pill

dipped the cloth into the ever of water

Chicago, Nov. 29.-The coal mining
strike in the northern Illinois district
is ended Twelve thousand have gone
back to work in the Coal City, Braid
wood, Carbon Hill, Spring Valley,
Lodi, Seatonville, Lasalle and Oglesby
fields. One thousand men remain out
at Streator, the only point where
miners and operators have not agreed
A settlement is expected within a
week.
Victory is with the miners, although
they have not won all they asked
Their chief demand was for 'nine
run price, that is, rate per ton, as
the coal comes from the mine, nn-
screened This has been conceded in
some places. Where the rate remand
fixed in price per net ton of screenes
coal, substantial advance has been
won. The increase in wages all throug h
the district approximately, is 10 cents
a ton over the schedule made last May.
The strike has been on since July

strike ordered by the United Mine

"Oh no; I charged them to disperse
as rapidly as possible; there is little

What? except whatv' cried Felicie,
frightened at the uneasy look on his
face; they will not de Becrate the
graves, surely?"
"They are fiendish enough for any
thing, but there is little % be gained
by such a course They have fired the
chateau, Lady Felicie Will you take a
look at it, ere 1t falls, and not be dis
tressed beyond my comfotting?"
She caught her breath convulsively
and stood a moment in shivering ST.
lence, then held out her hand to him.
| He had closed the door of the tree,
and now took her hand enderly, and
led her forward to the edge of the
wood.
The stars had paled in sudden
alright at the bright glare which rose
up from the turbulent scene below.
The chateau was like one huge man
sion carven n glowing carbuncle.
Never had its symmetry and beauty
struck Lady Felicie so fdrcibly as now
when every arched window, and quaint
gable, and doomed porch was framed
in burning line of dazzling flame.
1t was so grand and beautiful

in its fate, and with huBhed breathing
and entranced eye, she watched the

" She uttered no single cry of alarm

He ran swiftly as was possible wit
