Chlcago.-Upon the management
and builders of the Iroquois theater
mas been placed the responsibility of
the fire horror in a report rendered to
Mayor Harrison by Fire Chief Mush-
am. The report was prepared by the
ire department attorney, Monroe Full
kerson, after examination of nearly
100 witnesses in the days immediate

the theater employees did what they
could to put the fire out and that the
doors and exits were generally locked
throughout the building.

CHAPTER XVIII.
Roseate Hines

The Raymores were holding up their
heads again-such good reports came
from Buenos Ayres. The head of
Charley's department had written a
letter to Raymore, speaking highly of
the lads good conduct and ability, and
promising him early promotion. Ray
more showed it TO Kate, and she read
1t with tears in her eyes.
You see he's going to give him a
holiday at Christmas, and let him
spend a month with u.s." said Ray
more, pointing out passage in the
letter.
Come on a visit, he says" She
looked up with a question glance.
Raymore understood the question.
Yes, my dear he said gently Hell
pay us a visit-many visits, 1 hope
but his career must lie over there.
That's inevitable, and best on all
grounds, / think" He came and took
her hand, adding. I'VE must be brave
about that"
I'll try" said Kate.
She knew that was the penalty which
must be paid. Over here the past
would never be utterly buried. Charley
would never be quite safe from it. He
must buy safety and fresh start at
the price of banishment. His mother
faced the bitter conclusion.
I'VE must make the most of the Wis
it's" she sighed. And, yes, will be
brave"
The San Francisco call., 1904-12-11

I'VE must give him a splendid time
While he's with US" said Raymore, and
kissed her. you've been fine about
1T. he whispered: keep it up
The penalty was high, or seemed so
to mother, but the banishment was
not all evil. The boys absence united
them as his presence had never done.
AT home he had been an anxiety often,
and sometimes q cause Of distress, to
them. All that was gone now. He
was a bond Of union, and nothing else.
And his own love for them came out.
When he was with them, lads shame
facedness, no less than the friction or
everyday life, had half hidden 1t. His
heart spoke out now from across the
seas; he wrote of home with longing;
1T seemed to grow something holy to
him. He recounted artlessly the words
of praise and the marks of confidence
he had won; he was pleading that they
made him worthy to pay his Christmas
visit home. Whenever his letters
came, Raymore and Kate had good
talk together over them; the boys open
heart opened their hearts also to one
another-yes, and to Eva too. They
paid more attention to Eva, and were
quicker to understand her growth, to
see how she reached forward to woman
hood, and to be ready to meet her on
this new ground. She responded read
lily, with the idea that she must do all
she could to tighten the sorrow and to
make Charleys absence less felt. In
easy going times people are apt to be
reserved. The trouble and the worry
broke up the crust which had formed
over their hearts. All of them-even
the boy so far away-were nearer to-
gether.
This softened mood, and the gentler
atmosphere which reigned in the Ray
mores' household, had it's effect on
Jeremy Chiddingfold's fortunes. 1t
caused both Kate and Raymore to look
on at his proceedings with indulgence.
They were constantly asking them
selves whether they had not been too
strict with Charley. and whether the
calamity might not have been pre-
vented if they had encouraged him to
confide in them more, and TO bring his
difficulties to them. They were
nervously anxious to make no such
mistake in regard to Eva. They were
even in a hurry to recognize that Eva
must consider herself-and therefore
be considered-a young woman. A
pretty young woman, to boott And
what did pretty young women like
