danger could quench, and holding her
closely to him he murmured in her ear:
This is a heaven worth going
through much to obtain. Oh. Millicent.
Millicent, if you knew how I love you!
Let me die at his moment If you never
have love for jmeSeesEt
But Millicent hMaasgg in his arms q dead
weight. he hardfYTknew whether she
had heard his WILD words or not, only
fancied the Eclasp Of her arms grew
slightly closer, and, as his heart
throbbedEmadly at the thought, he bent
over ersdrooping head and caught the
words.
II love-" But then there was silence
and he knew she had tainted, this time
in real earnest.
For the first time George felt the de-
sire to save his own life also. Hither-
to his only thought had been of her,
now he felt that life held possibilities
of a joy he a hardly dreamed Of. and
1t would be very bitter to lose it.
The fremen had arrived; the cries
of the strong, the groans of the weak
er, who were trodden under foot or
crushed against walls, were growing
less, some people had succeeded in get
ting out, and the work Of rescue was
being carried on as Systematically as
possible. Suddenly the flames burst
out in the roof, and a lurid light was
cast upo the chastity scene.
Georges n thought at that mo-
ment was-"Thank God, she can't see
that"
Worse than the wrecked room, the
dead or unconscious bodies Of those
who had been laughing and talking so
gaily only an hour before, were the
faces of the living, tortured out of all
human resemblance in the agony of
that wild fight for the life that they
felt was beyond the narrow doorway.
Strong men working at the outside
were knocking a hole In the wall of
the building furthest from the door,
but the flames were gaining apace, and
the smoke was sitting.

ED CORRIGAN IN TOWN
VETERAN TURFMAN TALKS OF
 JOCKEY CLUB WAR.
He Was en Route te New Orleans and win Return tO Baldwin County
 Alabama to spend Some | Time.

Standing at the telegraph wihuow in the general waiting room at the Union railway station last night was a tall, heavy set man. busily engaged in writing teiegrame. He looked hKe d prosperous Alabama planter, but he was no less a person than Edward Cor rigan one of the most widely known or American turfmen. . ,,
 Mir. Corrigan was en route so New Orleans coming direct from Cnicago where he attended the meeting oi the ''outlaw' 'turfmen last Saturday after- noon. At the Chicago meeting besides Mr. -Corrigan there were preson. n. h; Devereux. W: T; shannon. Iocnev Ume Club; M T Vim. vice-president of the new Louisville Jockey Club; George Fredericks and J. l.. Rhinock Of the new track at New Orleans. and Max samelson, the right hand man Of the Pittsburg millionaire s; ? brown, Tncrv Club gave out the dateg or the com ing season. refusing to give any days to the new track at New Orleans and so materially curtailing the dates of other tracks as % to ra1sc mna, the rne unIca. m n. go meeting was called TOT. The Cnica- go papers say thnt there was not even a hint of a turf ssr ailuced to, peace being the prevailing sentiment at the n,eeting. The msa who gsSinsSrsd .i,,S at next meeting on, January to rescind its, action and allow the new clubs the dates asked for. It Is said that MT. Corrigan was the man who poured OH on the troubled waters at the Cnicago meeting and was instrumentai Tn avert ing the threatened turf war.
 He was anything but peace angel in Montgomery. last night. There was blood in the old mans eye, put there, perhaps, by the numerous teiegrams which he was working overtime in sending. He was non-committal. his first answer to questions being, The only war that know anything about is the one between Russia and Japan.
 Gradually hd warmed up, however and said things:
 said "is already. in good shape. and the srandstand and general plant could be finished in thirty days. The Jockey Club--Jocular Club 1t should DC ealled-refused to grant any dates, racing at this track within the next month or so, Jockey Club or no Jockey Club. Brush, the president and lessee of the present track at New Orleans Is one. of the Stewards of the Jockey at Chicago also have steward in the Jockey Club.S Now. to give an idea of the unjust manner in which we have been treated the case of Hot Springs track may be mentioned. The old track. in which we are interested. had all the dates taken away from 1t while the new track which is not yet completed was given a big run of dates There will be winter racing however, at the new track in New Or- leans as we'll as at the old track In Hot Springs whether this joke club likes it or not" 'Jf..
 1t would have been interesting to know just what was in those telegrams he sent. Somebody In. Hot Springs and New Orleans will come near know ing this morning.
 Mir. Corrigan says that he will not stay but a daykin New Orleans, com ing back to Magnolia Springs in Bald win County, Ala, Thursday where he will spend the holidays.
