she ran to seek her fellow-housebreak'

Three o'clock had struck before Car

Molly's face fairly glowed with graft
tude as she turned to McClatchie.
The man grinned with honest pride.
Though the smile did something to re-
deem his face. Molly appreciated for
the first time since his abrupt appear
ance what a rough-looking fellow he
was. Now that all was quiet she grew
eager for him to leave.
"If you're going through the village"
she said, would you stop at DR.. Fra

It's the rock house opposite the post

The grin faded from McClatchie's
face.
'"The rock house opposite the post

visited there once tonight already
"But why should that prevent you?
Oh! You mean you? Ooh"
Molly stared at the man with some
little fear as the import of his words
dawned on her, but ber gaze at him

fear seized her as she thought of her

McClatchie she looked guiltily about,
and then whispered:

"No."
"Then if I should write note could

Her voice broke, and she made ges-

At half past four the old doctor was

"Was compounding felony or any

1t is proposed in France to establish
Court of Justice run by women and
for women, to which may be carried
all those cases concerning which the
most learned men know nothing. This
will relieve a man judge, for instance,
from determining questions as to fit in
suits brought by dressmaEers against
their clients, and it ought to do away

MORE FIRE
 AT HALIFAX
Loss Will Probably
 Reach $2OO, ,OOO
Fine New Warehouses Were Destroyed Heaviest Los- CTS Will be the Owners of Several Steamship Lines.

Halifax, N. S., Sept 19-The dock fire which started after midnight and was under control at } o'clock broke out again early to-day and destroyed several warehouses and other build fings. The warehouses burned were fine new buildings and the loss is now placed at $200,O0o.
 At 10 o'clock this morning the fire was still burning, but under control. Tie firms burned out include Black Bros x Go, hardware; Bryant & Me Donald, wholesale tea merchants. and Thomas Forhan X Co, sailmak- CTS. The insurance on the property destroyed is estimated at about three quarters of the loss
 The fire started between Black Bros store and the Forhan Co.'S sail loft on Pickford & Blacks wharf at about 12:45 a. m. The flames spread to Black Bros warehouse, situated on their own wharf. Black Bros had large quantities of pitch, tar and ships outfits in the warehouse and for time the firemen were overwhelmed by the fierceness of the flames. The work also was made hazardous by the presence of a quantity of powder and dynamite upon Black Bros wharf, but the explosives were thrown overheard. Later the firemen were obliged to retreat because of a series of, explosions in Black Bros ware house, caused by powder and chemi- calls. All the apparatus dn the city was summoned to the scene and the firemen were assisted by men from the barracks Tn two hours the flames were thought to be under con- trol. The loss was estimated at $50.- GOO, divided between Pickford & Black and Black Bros.
 Several hours later the fire broke out in Black Bros large brick build- ing, flames having worked their way through an elevator well, unknown to the firemen From Black Bros brick lbuilding the fire extended to a large warehouse owned by Pickford x Black and to their office building. These two structures were new mod le ern blocks of stone and had a front on Water street, about quarter of a mile north of the scene of Thursdays s fire, which destroyed several hundred thousand dollars worth of property.
 Near the stone buildings were situ- ated a number of wooden shops and stores. Although the fire burned uri- til late in the forenoon, the fire de- partmant was able to conf1ne the dam age to the area described by the two wharves and the buildings named.
 The heaviest loss falls upon Pick ford x Black, agents of a number of steamship lines and ship chandlers, who carried a large amount of sup plies and other goods, and Black Bros. Besides Bryant & McDonald, whole sale builders, and Thomas Forhan x Go, sailmakers, several smaller coIl- cerns were burned out. G. c. Cook
 & Co.'S stock, in building adjoining Black Bros, was deluged with water, and IT. H. Fuller & Go, hardware dealers, sustained considerable damn age from smoke and water. It is uI- derstood that the destroyed property will be rebuilt. The cause of the fire has not been ascertained.
