On, on, over the open common, where
the tempest RACES in unresisted fury
then under the swaying, groaning trees,
plunging into yet deeper darkness. Down,
down, dOwn-the speed redoubles, he is
rapidly descending, but whittier? Inn
penetrable by sight as wall of iron is
the black gulf before him. He pulls the
rein with all his strength; but down,
down, down, still gallops the horse with
awful rapidity. Crash! low, project
ing branch has caught him across the
forehead, and dashes him from the ami
mails back; there is heavy plash, and
then a rushing sound-the horse is
breasting the water; another moment, he
is scrambling up the opposite bank,
riderless.
Within the Manor House the flames
are spreading with frightful rapidity.
Judith lies in motionless heap, and
two hapless beings are locked within
their rooms; upon the chamber above,
The fire has already seized; upon the one
below it is rapidly advancing.
The fire is consuming one side of
Clara's room-it has fastened upon the
stairs-no one can mount them. Who
can save her now?
Flames dart above the roof, and
through the windows, and up into the
black sky rise volumes of lurid smoke,
chasing away the darkness and illuminat-
ing every object around with fearful
radiance.
What new figure is this come upon the
scene? A man who seems to have arisen
from the bowels of the earth. He looks
strange and bewildered. The women
catch sight of him, and, shrieking with a
new terror, fly away and cover upon
the sodden earth, under the dripping
branch of a tree. He sees an arm grasp
ing at window frame. He goes to him.
unlock the door-the key is outside!"
cries a frantic voice within.
The stranger comprehends-
through the hall door, which stands
wide open. The flames rolling down the
stairs show him the key. He turns it.
AS he does SO, he sees a senseless woman
huddled at his feet. He does not recog
nize her, but quick as lightning he raises
her in his arms and bears her safely
out into the air, followed by Silas.
Only just in time-the flames are al
ready licking the spot she laid upon.
"Is it Clara?" cries Silas, frantically.
They turn over the body and disclose
the death-like face of Judith.
"Where is she-oh, heaven, where is
she? She has perished in the fames!"
exclaimed Silas.
A wild, piercing cry of agony rises
above the roar of the elements. They
raise their. eyes. Standing on the ex-
treme edge of the window sill, with out
stretched arms, the flames darling
around her, is Clara.
A frightful scream bursts from Silas'
lips; but his companion grasps his
hands, drags him under the window, and
stretching out both their arms, shouts
to her to jump. Just in time-the flames
cling to her dress as she falls
At that moment a carriage tears up
the drive-two policemen spring from
the box, and an old gentleman jumps out,
and falls into the group.

Winnipeg, Man., May 1.-THE tidal

new organ came before that prosperous
congregation, whereat former Alderman
Barclay cried with loud voice that it

kirk should want to keep up with the

TIDE TURNS FROM
WEST TO THE EAST
Center of Population, the Experts
Believe, Has Changed Its
Course. ..a.zss@S
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun special service.
Washington, May 11.-Population ex
perts of the census bureau are inclined
to the belief that the center Of popula-
ton of the United States, which has
travelled westward steadily since the
foundation Of the republic, has turned
and is now headed eastward. If this
be true, the fact is Of interest as indi-
eating that the movement Of population
toward the east and the southeast
is greater than the movement
toward the west. It is expected that
censuses to be taken in dozen states
during May and June will throw light
on the present location of the center of
population, which the census Of 1900
placed six miles southeast of Columbus,
Ind.
Because of the increase of population
in eastern cities, especially New: York,
and steady trend of growth in the
southeastern Atlantic seaboard states,
the population experts have formed the
opinion that if there is a westward
movement Of the center it is very slight
and that if it's direction has not been
reversed there is a possibility that it
will be before the end Of the present
decade. The only fact which they find
to combat this theory is the rapid
growth of population in the state of
| Washington, which offsets much larger
growth in the eastern states.
