wv Jurnieff were planning the
FS-rST-- great surprise to be given the
Hs7SSSsggy guests two stealthy figures
left the palace. Jurnieff's carriage vas
easily found. and they stepped into it.
Prince Dellnikolf was dressed in a
plain uniform he had worn as lieuten-
ant of cavalry. He wore over that a
long black cloak that concealed every
inch of his apparel. In his arms he
carried his brilliant uniform of inspect
or general of prisons.
Alma laughed. called him q good
prince and patted his cheek. She let
his arm rest about her waist as the
carriage hurried to Jurnleff's home,
Arriving. she led the prince by q pri-
vate way to Jurnieff's apartments. A
servant met them and was dismissed
with the curt remark that Colonel Jur-
nieff had sent them for something and
they needed no attendance.
She left Dellnikoff in the library and
took the bundle from him. She hurried
to her room. When she got there, she
knelt and prayed. Marie found her on
her knees and lifted her.

The maid retired, and Alma dressed
herself in the uniform of the inspector
general of prisons. In a closet were a
pair of boots she had purchased. The
long cloak she had bought, as that
worn by Dellnikoff, covered her com
pletely. With a pair of shears she cut
her beautiful trcsses short. In her ex-
citement she left them where they fell
upon the floor. She went to the library
and threw aside the cloak.

her, you are superb! The uniform be.

to speak, but Alma would not permit it.
Winding through the narrower streets,
met twice by sentries and giving the
password; which she knew, Alma led
him safely to the wharf where the hay
boats lay. Lanterns moved here and
there, but most of the boatmen were
asleep. Alma knew where the boat of
Charka of Ashkar was moored and hur-
ried to it. 1t could not well be mis-
taken, for it was the largest of the
~hayboats. and it's cargo had not been
touched.

Destructive Fire.

Last Saturday night about twelve
O'Clock Mr.. Chas. Churchill, who
lives on the farm owned by Mr.. JAS
Penberthy of this city, located three
and half miles northwest of here,
was awakened by an unusual noise
Upon going outside he discovered
the roof of the large barn, about fifty
yards distant. all ablaze. The fire had
gained too much Roadway for any
one to check, aud although neigh
borS rallied in short order, there was
no possible chance of saving the
property. The barn was 66X24 feet
with good sized wing. In the barn
Were something like 900 bushels of
oats and 30 tons of hay, and one or two
sets of harness, all OF which were
consumed. Fortunately there were
no live stock in the barn. There was
some insurance on the barn and con.
tents, but not epough within eight or
nine hundred dollars to cover the
loss. The night was calm, otherwise
the destruction might have been
greater. Origin OF the fire unknown.
Mr.. Penberthy feels grateful to the
neighbors who rallied and so heroic
ally did what they could to subdue
the flames.
