ANOTHER FIRE.
George Beans Blacksmith Shop on Sec
ond Street Destroyed.

About 1890 o'clock last night an
alarm of fire was turned in and the fire
department responded to a call from
south Second street, where the black
smith shop of George Bean was found
to be ablaze. The location of the place
was so far out that it required all the
hose from all three of the carts to reach
to the burning building.
The fire had obtained such a start
and the water pressure was so weak
that the fremen could do nothing but
prevent the blaze from spreading to
the adjoining buildings.
The loss is estimated at about $500,
partly insured. All the tools and ma
terials in the shop were destroyed. The
origin of the blaze is not definitely
known. but tramps are suspected.
After the fire was under control and
the large crowds of people were return
ing home, a pistol shot vas heard, fol-
lowed by the cry of "murder!" This
created much excitement, but a thor
ough investigation by the officers fail
ed to develop a sensation. Stories of
hOld-ups have been numerous today,
but as no one has complained to the
police they probably lack foundation.

MADE A JUMP.

A Jap who was unable to speak Eng
lish boarded a passenger train between
Laramie and Rawlins yesterday with
the evident intention of proceeding to
the place where his section gang was
" working. He found it impossible to tell
the conductor where he wanted to get
off, but when the train reached the
train was running at the rate of 40
miles an hour. The conductor saw the
leap and took it for granted the man
was killed. He reported the circum-
stance and an investigation was start
ed. 1t was found thai Mr.. Jap had not
even received a scratch and was able to
go to work today.

The boy grinned bysterically-a little
frightened at Cissy's Strengthened brows
and swapping eyes.
Get away--there's no answer"
The boy ran off and Cissy returned to
the drawing room. Then it occurred to
her that the servant had not answered
the bell She raDg again furiously.
There was no response. She called down
the basement staircase and heard only
the echo of her voice in the depths.
How still tn house was! Were they
all out-Susan- Norah-the cook, the
Chinaman and the gardener? She ran
down into the kitchen; the back door
was open, the fires were burning, dishes
were upon the table, but the kitchen
was empty. Upon the floor lay damp
copy of the Extra" She picked it up
quickly. Five black headlines stared her
in the face: Enormous Defalcation!"
'Montagu Trixit Absconded!" ''$500,O0O
Missing!" ''Run on the Bank!'
She threw the paper through the open
door as she would have hurled back the
accusation from living lips. Then, In a
revulsion Of feeling, lest any one should
find her there, she ran upstairs and
locked herself in her own room.

from the laugh OF the Scamp girls to
the turning away of the townspeople as

who had stolen money from the bank
and rum away leaving her alone to bear
it! No! 1t was all a lie--a wicked, jealous
lie, A foolish he-for how could he steal
money from his own bank? Cissy knew
very little of her father-perhaps that
was why she believed in him. She knew
still less of business, but she knew that
he did. She had often heard them say
it--perhaps the very ones who now
called him names. He, who had made
Canada City what it was! He, who
Windibrook said only today had, like
Moses, touched the rocks of the Canada
with his magic wand of finance, and
streams OF public credit and prosperity
had gushed from it! She would never

"Ye had better luck than Bishop

A chill silence followed, which checked
even Piney's giggle. Mr.. Windibrook
evidently had no "heartiness' for non
subscribing humor. There are those
who can jest with sacred Subjects" he
said ponderously, ''but i have always

She was glad to get away from Mr..
Windibrook's ''heartiness' and console
herself with Mrs. Windibrook's consti-
tutional depression, which was partly
the result of nervous dyspepsia and her
husbands boisterous cordially. Il sup

pathetic sigh. Ossy, conscious of never
having felt moments anxiety, and ac-
customed to his absences, replied naive
ly, Why co." responded Mrs. Windi'

responsibilities you know; so much de-
ponds upon him." Again Gssy did not
comprehend; she could not understand
why this masterful man, her father who,
was equal to her own, and. it seemed,
everybodys needs, had any responsibility
or was not as infallible and constant as
the sunshine or the air. she breathed

Indeed, Mr.. Windibrook was told that
he had declared that the prosperity OF
Canada City was only mushroom
growth, and, it seems too shocking to
repeat, dear, but they say he said that

dibrook couldn't see him after that
Why, lie even said your father ought
to send YOU to school somewhere and
not let you grow up in this half-civilized
place"
Strangely enough, Cissy did not hail
this confederation of her dislike to young
MaSterton with the liveliness one might
have expected. Perhaps it was because
Piney Tibbs was no longer present, hay
ing left Cssy at the parsonage and re-
turned home. Still she enjoyed her visit
after fashion, and climbed tree in the
security of her sylvan seclusion and the
promptings OF her still healthy, girlish
blood, and only came back to cake and
tea and her new hat, which she had pr,1-
IDENTIFY hung up in the summer house, as
the afternoon was waning. When they
returned to the house, they found that
Mr.. Windbrook had gone out with Els
visitor and Cissy was spared the adver-
tisement of boisterous escort home
which he generally insisted upon. She
gaily took leave of the infant Windibrook
and his mother, sailed out through the
parsonage gate into the empty road, and
once more became conscious of her new
hat.
The shadows were already lengthen-
ing, and cool breeze stirred the deep
aisles of the pines ON either side of the
