LOSS $350,0O0
Varnish Factory Burned Turning
Streets Into Sea Of Fire

Varnish Factory Burned Turning
Streets Into Sea of Fire.
Chicago, Sept 2S-The factory of the
Standard Varnish Company at Twenty
sixth street and Armour avenue was
nearly consumed by fire to-day, en-
failing loss estimated at $3.50, 900.
The blaze was started by the ex-
plosion of tank of varnish which
threw barrels of varnish through the
roof. Members of two fire companies
narrowly escaped death or injury from
the falling floors and several firemen
were painfully hurt. The flames shot
fifty feet above the structure and the
oil and varnish, released by nineteen
distinct explosions turned the street
into a sea of fire.
Thirty-five employees of the company
performed a fire drill and escaped from
the building in safety and saved the
concerns books and papers.

Describes Situation in Kansas City
Convention.
Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 2S.-To-days
sessions of the International Structural
and Bridge Workers Association were
taken up entirely with routine affairs.
The Parks crowd helped clear up the
small business of the gathering. and
no sign of the fight between the two
factions promised yesterday was visi-
BILE. President Buchanan made an ar-
peal for harmony and his talk had the
effect, at least temporarily, of quieting
the troublesome New Workers.
It's the lull before the storm" said
one delegate after the convention had
adjourned for the day. The sum total
of the days work was the granting of
a charter to the Architectural Iron
Workers of Chicago, a strong labor
body which has perhaps 5000 mem
bers throughout the country, and a
decision to send delegates to building
trades alliance to be held at Indianapo-
lis next month.

Correspondence of the Associated

Beirut. Syria, Tuesday Sept. S.-As
this dispatch is mailed the situation

not alone the property of the Syrian
Protestant College. but also dark al
leys and by-ways frequented as rule
by shady characters.
The disturbances here began on the
night of Friday, Sept. A. A murd er
was committed in Beirut which was
by no means an unusual thing. but,
in this instance, a native Christian kill
ed a Moslem.
On Saturday night. and on the sun
day following there was an uprising
against the Christians in different parts
of the city. Thirty persons were mas
sacred in one quarter. and a reign Of
terror was inaugurated throughout the
whole city.
On Sunday morning a church was
attacked In the same neighborhood,
while service was in progress. but no
one was killed. Panic stricken, the
Christians fed from the city or re-
NAMED in their homes behind barricad-
ed doors while Moslems' armed with
clubs, revolvers and knives paraded
the streets, and fell on any chance
victim that came their way.
The arrival of the American cruisers
in the midst of these troubles brought
great relief, especially to the foreign
residents of the city.

The quasi miraculous benefits which

of them came out and spoke to the
nurse. Then the nurse went into the
bedroom with the doctors, and the
door was shut.
Once or twice young Green came
out to speak pleasant word to her Of
encouragement, or message as to
her fathers condition; he was more
quiet now, the doctors had given him

quietly; sleep was what he needed

said, and there was an indescribable
kindness in his voice as he stood be-
side her at the window while the dark
ness was enveloping the world. Il
would SO like to see the stars from
your windows, Dolores. Can you see
Venus above the mountains when it
is clear, and the moon set in the

She lifted her true eyes to his face,
and a flush was coming into the pure,
pale face.

curved red lips. no dropping of the

He turned swiftly from her, and
crossing the room lighted only by the
fiickering fire, his figure defined in
grotesque shapes upon the walls, he
entered the room beyond, leaving her
motionless at the darkened window,
her eyes following him.
Presently she left the window also

softly. She was out of her narrowed
life with the infinite range of the

CHAPTER X.
The Rescue.


The arms of the IN en were brawny
and strong; Green was light in weight
and 1.-THE as tiger: the rope ran out
sloly and steadily, slid out and down
over the sharp edge of the chasm
where the grasses were long and hid
the sharp cut into emptiness. making
treacherous foothoid. Suddenly the
rope stopped running, grew slack, and
Green's voice came up in. shout.
Thus silence reigncd again save for
the rain and wind
Moments passed; to the girl stand
ing back motionless the moments
Seemed like hours. Her eyes did not
Roye from the edge where the rope
ran over. Green called again, and
they began to pull the rope.
Dolores eyes wideued as she
watched them; her lips We're apart, a
flush on her cheeks. The mist grew
more thick and dense, stealing up and
up until it reached the edge of the
chasm. 1t stole about the men at
work at the rope and enveloped them
silently; through its gray folds they
looked like specters at work for all
eternity, with set faces. pulling the
rope in and in.
The rope came up steadily and slow
and sure, then Green spoke from just
below the surface.
Stop; some of you give me hand
here. Careful. He is insensible"
They obeyed him without word. A
terror was on Dolores face: she did
not move; her fingers were twisted
tightly together; her lips were COM
pressed in a straight red line.
The men were slow and careful; it
was no light thing to lean over the
edge of the chasm; the treacherous
edge hidden in sedge might give way
at any moment, but the hands of the
men were slow and steady; they
obeyed Green's commands as though
they were powerless of self.thought
They had Johnson up on firm ground
and Green after him; they ,laid the
insensible man on the ground with
coats for pillows; they forced some
ncider between his teeth and chafed
: his brawny hands tenderly as a wo-
man would. Two of them cut down a
'pupie VI sipiiHSs anu ioppeu OIL lHe
branches, making the body smooth;
these they bound together with two
cross pieces; they crossed the rope
in network back and forth. No
words were uttered; they worked in
silence with grimEess that was al
most terrible to the watching girl.
The rain was falling steadily now,
and dripped through the branches,
falling on Johnsons face. His hands
moved gropnsly moment; he
opened his eyes and locked vacantly
about him; they We're hollow eyes and
hungry; he recognized no one. Dolo-
res came up shyly, offering no word
: OF sympathy. and with moan John
son closed his eyes again.
"We must get him home as soon as
