STORIES OF EYE WITNESSES.


Ono OF the first to reach the ruins was
the Rev. james A. O'Rourkc. curate Of
st. Margarcts Roman Catholic Church.
From his residence near by he saw the
building tromble and then hurst into
flames. He rushed to the factory and
helped in the WORN Of rescue until his
shoulder was dislocated and he tainted
from exhaustion.
Father O'I;ourkc said tc-nirht:
"Finned beneath heavy pieces of ma

TO SELECT A LOBSTER.
To choose n lobster, look for good odor.

CHAPTER XIII.
a B@GTOGh@1 and
Respite

NHEN Frank Armstrong entered the
w rock-chamber in which Ermyn-
tr1de awaited him he was even more dis
concerted by her attitude than by
Vladimir Sassu1itch's blunt words. He
expected to find her in a mood in which
lust anger blended with Indignation. AS
a matter of fact, she was weeping
Now, Ermyntrude had not wept when
Prince Boris led her to the chapel of St.
Stanislaus Then her youthful lady
shin contemplated the ordeal of matri-
monv with a stoical Indifference that
betolened a fixed adherence to the prin-
ciple that the end justifies the means.
To-day she wept Clearly there was a
distinction between forced marriage with
Prince Melnikoff in the one case and with
Captain Armstrong in the other.
The sight of her distress was more than
Frank could bear. He was at his wits
end for a method of escape from the eX-
traordinary dilemma that faced him. 1t
was impossible to contract such union

7 without her consent yet to infuriate
men whose passions already were aroused
to fever heat, and whose lives were in
jeopardy. meant exposing Ermyntrude to
immeasurable danger.
He knew much that was hidden from
her. The Muscovite, queer blend of
East and West, can range in thought
from Eastern contempt of women to eX-
cess of worship. Ivan Stephanovitch
could bargain coolly for the nuptials of
Natushka, as if she was a handsome slave
destined by critical purchaser for some
seraglio in Stamboul, while Prince Boris
would brave any peril, adopt any subter-
fuge or hidden device, to gain Ermyn-
trude as a wife. Yet both men were
Cossacks, differentiated somewhat by
education, but capable alike of extremes
in love and war.
1t was essential that something should
be done to allay the girls agitation.
Frank forced himself to say calmly:
90 must not pretend that | do not
know the cause of your tears. Sassulitch
has told me the proposal he dared to
make to you. Ermyntrude, you must
endeavor not to yield to despair Surely
there must be way out of the difficulty
which faces us!''
There was no answer. She sat in the
quaint, curved chair forlornly picturesque
in the midst of semi -barbaric surroundings,
with her face hidden in her hands, and
sobbing as if her heart was broken. He
bent oyer her, tenderly caressing her
hair as he might comfort a sorrowing child

mands, and thus extricate you from an
unhappy Predicament. Your father IS
wealthy, and if no other resource pre-
sents itself 1 shall not scruple to bribe
some of Ivan's followers to help YOU.
For myself, l am prepared to encounter
any risk for your sake"
But Ermyntrude wept more than ever.

who come in contact with me, " she walled
MY folly indeed has been punished.
How you must desPise me in your heart!
though indeed do believe you viii help
me to the end"
The futtering words which escaped her
were not exactly those which Armstrong
expected. He completely lost such shreds
of self-pOssessiOn as remained. Despise
Ermyntrude? Listen to her fearful self
condemnation? He might endure much;
but these things were insufferable.
He sank to his knees by her side, and
placed his arms around her, deluding
himself into the belief that a spoken
declaration of his love might steel her
into fortitude and show her the para
mount need there was for action if both
were to be saved from an intolerable
predicament.
'Ermyntrude, my dear one," he said,
and his voice sounded in his ears as if
he was speaking in dream, nothing on
earth but the sight of your agony would
unlock my lips. How can l harbor the
thoughts with which you credit me when

She started convulsive1y, vet kept her
face hidden. He bit his lips in his deter

realized his plight, surely she would strive
to assist in devising some means of rescue?
Il know too WE'LL he went on, that
my love is hopeless. If, in other days,
l weakly permitted myself the delight of
seeing and speaking to you, l had at
least the requisite strength of mind to
leave you with my poor secret hidden in

resting on his shoulder In his excite
