which he had unsel6shly set their feet,
Protheroe had Rugged his ideal, play
ing the heroic part of the high-minded
lover who generously effaces himself
in order that the object of his affections
may be free to walk in a path of her
W choosing. 1t was an unioyous
task, this that he had set himself, and
he was Inundated by the conviction,
repeated n emphasized every time he
saw Elsie, that it gained nothing in
gladsoneness with the lapse of time.
In such case, absence seemed to be the
proper emollient; but when Duncan
asked his help, he said nothing about
going away, and entered heartily into
the farmers plans for warning kilgrow
and for beginning an immediate search
for the missing man. 1t was agreed
that the young engineer should try to
trace T~horndyke from Glenco or ALA
cooche while Duncan made a journey
to the Pocket; and when the farmer
had departed on his errand, Protheroc
turned back to the house for a final
word with Elsie.
She was alone in the sitting-rcom
when he entered, standing at the win
dow which looked out upon the road.
He saw that she had been crying, and
he went to her quickly and took her
hand in both of his.
Can l say anything to comfort you
before | go?" he asked
She shook her head.
what is it, Elsie2 does il mean more
ia you than the possible danger of a
friend@"
"Yes, much more The frankness
of her reply staggered him. 1T was
/ who sent him into the danger. He
he said / was responsible"
Protheroe never knew the strength
OF his love until that moment, but the
gentler emotion was mingled with .
dash of contemptuous anger for the
man who could be so pusillanimous a,
to lay the burden of his responsibilities
upon the tender conscience of a young
girl, and his resentment spoke before
he could muzzle it,
THAT was ungenerous," he said.
She turned away to the window
again, and her voice was unsteady wher
she answered him. "You mustn't sa,
that; you don't understand; he wal
very unhappy and discouraged when HI
said it,"
Protheroe told himself that his con
illusions were verified in so many words
and yet he had to grapple fiercely with
the spirit of lawlessness prompting
him to a~postatize once for all by telling
her that she was more to him than sh,
could ever be to Thorndyke, or to any
one else. When he could trust himsel
to speak he said, quietly: Don
grieve; we'll find him all right; III fin,
him and bring him back to you"
He meant to go when he had said il
and he might have kept his resolution
if she had not looked up into his fac,
with her eyes full of trouble pleas
don't she began, but the ungovern
able impulse slipped the leash. and 70
q moment Protheroe put the cup of pos
session TO his lips and drank deeply
taking her in his arms and covering
the burning cheeks with his kisses
Then a sudden sense of the enormit,
of his transgression overwhelmed him
and, releasing her, he ran from tn
house and flung himself into the saddle
to gallop away toward Allacooche
with the ruins of a shattered ideal pelt
ing him at every bound of the horse.

She fingered in pain for the greater part of a day in the Yokohama hospital and died on July 30 few hours before the Vic toria sailed.
 Both ladies were we'll known in mis- sionary circles, they having been work ing in Japan for a number of years Miss Simmons shortly before the tragic occurrence had applied for and ob- tained a furlough. She was to have come here en route to the United States by the next Empress steamer.

 LITTLE OF MRS. ORR
Made the Woman's Acquaintance Through Correspondence
 Bureau

CALDWELL. Ohio. Aug 11.-Mayor Arthur O. Archer to-day mc4e the follow ing statement regarding the Orr affair at Clarendon, Ark:
 'I have had some correspondence with Lorilla F. Weaver, whose name I secured through correspondence bureau of Cin- cinnati. She represents herself to be a French lady of wealth and leisure. and I never heard of the name Orr until I saw 1t in the press in connection with the ter rible tragedy at Clarendon, and I am dumfounded that my name was connect ed with it in any way The manner in which the correspondence began is this:
 A number of young men were in my office one evening, ana one of them had circular from correspondence bureau, and it was su~~ested that for the fun of the thing a correspondence be opened up with some one. A letter was written to the bureau, and the name of and descrip- tion of the person representing herself to be Lorilla F. Weaver was secured in this way, which information I now have in my possession, together with all letters re- ceived from her, three in number Your correspondent has read these letters, and there is nothing in them suggestive of any wrongdoings in any way, and they appear to have been written by a lady of education and refinement
 The unenviable notoriety is very en- barrassing to Mayor Archer and his friends.

FRESNO NEVER SAW THE LIKE

Los Angeles Also Suffers, but the Humidity Will Have Tendency to Advance the Fruit
 Crops.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

FRESNO, Aug. 1.-The weather ob- server said 1t was 113 degrees in F'res- no to-day, but there is an impression hereabouts that he keeps his thermom- eter on ice. Though the mercury has been up to IA twice this season, the heat to-day was felt more than on either of those occasions. This was probably due to greater degree of humidity. While there was consider able suffering from the heat, there were no prostrations-at least none have been reported. The heat is said to have been even greater in Madeira and Merced than here.
 STOCKTON, Aug. 11.-This has been the hottest day of the year, and ther- mometers held up their hands until close to sundown, when 1t began to moderate somewhat. The highest re- corded here was 108 degrees, though there are reports of other glasses somewhat higher. Reports from near by towns were as follows: Lathrop, 109; Elliott, 113; Pennington, 115 and 122: Clements, 115; Woodbridge, 1O5; BelIota, 115, and Ripon, 112.
 SACRAMENTO, Aug. 11.-This was the hottest day ever experienced in Sacramento since it was settled by AIleriCanSt at lSdSl Ol WHICH lllcLG IS any record. For two hours the mercury stood at the no mark. Nobody has suffered, however, and men and horses were about their work as usual. In deed, the average estimate of the heat was about 100 degrees. Tonight there is a comfortable breeze from the south, and a change in the temperature is looked for.
 It is feared that the hot wave has injured grapes in vineyards not irri- gated, as the fruit is less protected by the foliage of the vines, owing to the dry season. Irrigated vines have heavy foliage, which protects the grapes.
 TRACY, Aug. 11.-To-day has been the hottest of the season, the ther- mometer registering 115 degrees In the shade at D. m., with hot westerly wind. One case of sunstroke, not fa- tai.
 LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1.-The high est temperature in this city for the present month was experienced yester- day and to-day, the maximum temper ature reaching 91 degrees. The heat was extremely oppressive. owing to the humidity. The heat will have the effect of hastening the ripening of peaches, pears. plums, grapes, etc, and owing to the extreme moisture in the atmosphere the fruit will In no way be injured.

The loss Is confined the extent first stated = between twenty and thirty small frame houses and log cabins which bordered on the trail beyond Twelfth street. The stead fastness of the wind to the one direc- tion of safety is the only thing that saved the city.
