She rose to go and extended her hand with
a smile Of encouragement to him

She took out a card from a little jewelled case
and gave il TO him.

And as she went away and his glance followed
her he said to himself. That was good move
Of mine But what piece Of luck"
The little square" luncheon party at Mayfair
Mansions was decidedly a success Sir James
Hart was rising diplomat; indeed, one might
say that he was a risen one, and he talked even
better than usual because he was anxious to
please Miss BeresfOTd. Ethel Matthews, who
was accustomed TO demand and receive admira-
ton with GOODNESS that is characteristic OF the
latter day young woman, accepted graciOusly
Mr.. Homes attempts TO be agreeable. and they
were quite friendly by the time that they ar
rived at the Grafton Galleries
Mary BeTesford, watching the progress Of the
little romance with a thrill at her heart that
half pleasant and yet had touch OF odd
sadness in 1t, decided TO see the thing through,
and later. before they all parted, she invited
both Ethel and Mr.. Home to dine with her the
following week and do play.
1t was very nice and civil Of Mr.. Home, she
thought, TO manage call on her between the
two festivities, and she received him with
gracious COrdiality More than once she was on
the point Of asking him how the romance
progressed, but as he made no reference to II
she decided II would be bad taste on her part.
They drifted therefore into talk about them
selves, and she learned many interesting things

Yet presently it seemed as II something had
gone wrong. Ethel Matthews was distinctly
initiating the widower in the early stages OF
the art Of Irritation, while Lawrence-piqued, no
doubt-betrayed a desire to take refuge from
her neglect with Mary.
1t distressed Mary very much. She was sur
prised to find that she was full Of indignant
sympathy with Lawrence-for. after all, love
disappointments are very usual occurrences
and that she was actually taking dislike 10
Ethel because that tickle young person had de-
serted Mr.. Home for the widOwer
1T is charming of you to take it so we'll, she
muTmured to Lawrence when he begged the

His face fell. But she has already arranged.

should be her escort should not like to inter

And a moment later Miss Matthews settled the
point herself by departing with the widOwer
and taking a very brief and chilly farewell Of
Mr.. Home.
As Mary drove with him toward Mayfair
Mansions she was trying to think OF appropriate
words wheTewith to console this blighted lover;
but she found it difficult that when they
reached the fiat she had said nothing, and
could only endeavor to convey her sympathy by
a lingering hand clasp.

WICKED LITTLE BLAZE.
>Stefe Of Wee Sam Lee Badly Damaged
by Fire.

Saturday night between 10 and IL
O'Clock the fire department was sum
moned onto the south side, where a
wicked blaze was in progress in the
store of zee Sam Lee, in Minnesota
avenue, a few doors east of Twenty
seventh street. How the fire original
ed does not seem to be known.
Before the tremen could reach the
place smoke was rolling out Of the
front in huge clouds, completely fill
ing the street and extending north
as far as the Northern Pacific tracks.
While they we're engaged In making
connection a rumbling sound was
heard and in an instant afterward a
sheet Of flames burst from the front
of the building which seemingly had
been blown out by an explosion. For
~tunately no one was near enough to
receive injuries, although some OF the
| fremen we're covered with cinders and
a few had the backs of their hands
| scorched. Water was speedily turn
| ed into the building and after a stub
born fight the fire e~xtinguished, but
not before the east end OF the struc-
ture, which is partitioned off from the
/ main store, was completely Quilted.
Like all Chinese stores, the struc-
ture was divided into innumerable
| small rooms and it was with consid-
| cradle difficulty that the lremen were
able to do effective work, as it was
| almost impossible to reach the fire,
| which appeared to be scattered about
all over the place.
The loss sustained by the owner OF
the store is quite heavy, as he car
ried a large stock of merchandise OF
a varied nature, none of which was
saved. The building itself, a frame
affair. was not materially damaged,
No insurance was carried on the con
tents.
