CHAPTER Xxx.
A king's Story,

The first person whom Ulin met
after entering the cave was Ezabel,
who stood by table upon which a
lamp was burning.
my dear child, was just coming
in search of you. We were anxious.
What-have you been in tears? Ulin,
what is 1t? What has happened?"
The maiden, in memory of the great
event of the evening. forgot the cause
of fear that had been with her. 1t
was secret she could not keep-a se-
cret she had no wish to keep; and
resting her head upon Ezabel's shoul-
der. she told the story of her love.
Dearest Ulin," said the aged ma
tron, kissing the maiden upon the
brow, 'he is worthy of the trust you
have reposed in him!"
At that moment Abba come in from
the grove wnere she had been in
search of her mistress; and very soon
see, too, had heard the story. She
gazed into Ulin's face a moment, and
she murmured:
Il shall be very happy now, for
henceforth I can serve and love you
both!"
As Abba spoke, and before any reply
could be made, Julian came hurrying
into the cave. He was much excited
and Ben Hadad saw fear upon his
face such as had never been seen there
before.

He grasped a sword as he spoke, and
leaped toward the entrance: but he

FIRE IN SCHOOL HOUSE.

Burlington, April "a Fire caught
In some waste paper in the basement
of the Converse school building this
afternoon but it was extinguiShed
without disastrous results.
Through the GOODNESS of the princi-
pal Miss Sarah A. Martin and the
corps of teachers the several hundred
pupils were gotten out of the build
ing in perfect order and safety before
the alarm was sounded and it became
generally known that there was a
fire.
The blaze was discovered by pupil
of one of the lower grades whose name
could not be ascertained. He notified
his teacher and she told the principal
who sounded the usual call for dis
missal of the school and the pupils
marched out as usual.
Janitor l.. S.Hebb was in the build
ing not Is minutes before and said
that everything was all right. The
waste paper was in the furnace room
and had burned very little when dis
covered. The alarm sounded at ESQ
and the recall at 3 o'clock.
The teachers displayed great pres
ence of mind in preserving order.
The fire could have gained little
Roadway owing to the fire proof Char.
acter of the building.
