LOthia'S Accident.
By Helen Il. BscAWith.
1898, by The Authors Pub. Co.

Lothia was in an unpleasant mood.
1t caused her to forget her habit OF
prim, orderly neatness-a quality SO
deeply inculcated as to seem part
of her very self.
Left motherless before her recoliec-
ton, she had grown to womanhood
under the watchful care of an indul-
gent father. He had never given her
premptory command, but had led
her nevertheless, high-strung and way
ward though she was, in his own way,
by sterling advice. with love and gen.
tleness, and often a seeming acquies-
.cence to her whims. The plans for
her future were made in her early
childhood, but Robert Yates had been
wise enough to keep this from his
headstrong daughter, while he had
guarded against complications.
OF late her father had changed, and
Lothia was uneasy about it. 1t was
now two weeks since a bulky letter
arrived for him, which she delivered
gaily remarking on it's size, and
curious as to its contents. When her
father saw the envelope, his face be-
came ashen, and he lost his geniality.
Although Robert Yates had looked
forward for many years to what was
before him, now he wallowed in the
Slough of despair" at the culmina-
ton of his hopes. With the thought
of separation ever before him, he
could not regain his old cheerfulness.
To-day another letter arrived bear
ing the same postmark. Lothia had
sent this one in, fearing repetition
of the former scene. Shortly she was
summoned into her fathers presence,
to be addressed with sternness, and,
she thought, with cruelty.
'Lothia. you are grown to woman
hood, and it is time that you were
settled in life. In your infancy
made an arrangement for your future
now the time has arrived for the full
fillment of that plan. Tomorrow a
gentleman will visit us whom l de-
sire you to treat with the greatest re-
spect, as l esteem him highly, and
he is to be your husband in the near
future
Lothia's great, blue eyes voiced her
establishment. then slowly filed with
. tears, but after a moments pause her
father continued: His name is S. E.
Aaron Woodbridge"
rs he young, papa?" asked the girl
with tremulous lips.
We'll, no; not extremely young;
forty, or Whereabouts"
20 papa, how could you!" she
sobbed
The man moved uneasily about the
room. At last he stopped before her
There is no use of becoming by
sterical," he said. You must do my
bidding"
''But why, papa?'
Because it is best-because-be
cause l command YOU"
The fire of Indignation flashed from
her eyes. We'll. then 1 won't; that's
fiat" she cried, rushing from the room
to leave her father filed with SAD
wonderment.
Catching her sailor hat by the brin
she damned it upon her head, with
vicious earnestness, not stopping, as
vas her wont, to brush back her rebel
lious rings of copper colored hair, fol
the breeze made sad havoc with them

one would find her, and think it out

around the foot of the mountain close
to its base. Now that Lothia was
high above the road the meadows
seemed far below her. She glanced
down involuntarily, and thought how
easily she might end it all. AS she
leaned forward a trifie. the better to
see the bottom, the loose earth slipped
grasped root, but it gave way, and
she plunged downward, clutching at
vines and briars. She closed her eyes,
vindictively saying. Now, papa.
you'll be sorry"
'.Are you hurt?" anxiously asked a
gentleman, bending over Lothia, as
she regained consciousness.

the funeral it was noticed that the

was found that the 500 was missing.
The corpse was then removed to a

put into the coffin a certified check

block, but a heavy fire-wall proved an
effective barrier.
The scenes which attended the fire
were OF a most exciting character.
The flames were discovered about 1
o'clock. 1t was known that about
Is persons occupied lodgings in the
block and were asleep in their rooms
on the second, third and fourth floors,
and adjoining the building was the
Hotel Belvidere with a large number
of guests. Although the most vigor-
GUS methods were used to arouse the
inmates of the Burbank building, only
those on the lower floor got out by
the ear doors and stairways. The
others were forced to the windows,
out of which they leaned and shrieked
for help until they were rescued by
the firemen, who were able to reach
them by means of ladders before the
flames gained control of the building.

COAL MINES CLOSED.
The Car Situation Is the Worst Ever
Known.

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 26.-While the
car situation at the mines in the Pitts
burg district has not been good for
several months, the conditions just at
present are pronounced by coal oper-
ators the worst in history. Outside
of the river mines and those along
the Pittsburg and Lake Erie and the
Monongahela division of the Pennsyl
vania railroad, fully 70 per cent are
idle. Of the % mines of the Pitts
burg Coal company on the Panhandle
road, 16 are shut down today and the
others have but a fair supply OF cars.
Five of the largest mines on the Bait
more & Ohio railroad out of Is own
ed by the company are idle. This is
said to be a good showing compared
with the conditions at the mines OF
the independent producers.
