One of the most active Of the local
agencies for the alienation OF human suf-
| ferings is the Christ Child Society, which
for the past fifteen years is credited with
performing a great work. 1t aims to ex-
tend helping hand to all mankind in
need. and through its five branches in scat
tered portions of the city maintains an or
ganizatiou of which its memters and the
citizens at large may, it IS claimed, be
justly proud
Its most recent expansion has resulted
| in the establishment of an Italian mission
house, located at 20 I'd street northwest,
where through the mnistrations of num-
Der of Roman Catholic clergy and Jealous
ladies and gentlemen members of the local
Italian colonies are gathered together at
stated periods and given both English and
religious fnstruction Entertainment is also
provided. Thus by easy stages the mem
! bers of the Christ Child Society hope to

ligious and civic virtues. Already the work
Is stated to have proved a gratifying sue
cess, so much SO that the experiment is
about TO be tried in New York city and
Baltimore. where the Christ Child Society
| is also represented.

FIRE RECORD FOR FEBRUARY
More Alarms That Month Than in
Any Previous Corresponding Period.

Despite the fact that it was the shortest
month in the year more alarms of fire were
received by the fire department during
February than during any similar period IN
the history of the department. This fact is
shown in the monthly report submitted to
the Commissioners this morning by Acting
Chief Wagner, covering transactions with
In the fire department from February /
to %, inclusive. The acting chief states
that various sections of the fire depart
ment responded to eighty-five bell alarms
and fifty-six local alarms. or a total of al.
Six of this number were monkey runs" or
false alarms.
The report goes into details in the follow
ing language:
''Of the actual 1874 fires IS occurred in
brick buildings. AZ In frame buildings, / in
stone building. for burning of grass
for rubbish. for fire in woods and for
brush fires.
The 50 fires for which bell alarms were
sounded did an estimated damage of S22 4S5
to property covered by an insurance of
s524,eoo and the 81 local alarm fires caused
an estimated loss of $3.50 to property in
sured for s37.7O0. The total estimated loss.
S22ES0. was but little over 4 per cent of the
total insurance s561, 100
Additional alarms were sounded from
the following boxes: Box No. 1873, February

second alarm.

Sin-wan was struck dumb. Ni-ching-tang

Ni-ching-tang had no right.

on the same string; land they will not know

Pleasure is pleasant to feel, yes said
Sin-wan; but 1t is not pleasure which am
feeling now. Ni-ching-tang.
And why not. Sin-wan?''
Because Aal-lin, of whom I told you, Is
away from her home; and my mind Is tell
Ing me that she is making some one else
feel pleasant instead of me-.
.Ho! that Is bad. And who is that some
one, Sin-wan?"
He Is called Feo-chee"
Sob. And you are now looking for All
lin?-I see
II am looking for Foo-chee."
And for why?
Sob! to XIII Foo-chee. Well, that is the
only way But has Foo-calee no brother, no
father, who will kill you back AGAIN.?
II do not know"
with keen tortures?'
"Poh. 1 do not think of thai"
with dreadful agonies of the brain ana
the liver, Sin-wan?
No! l do not think of that. He is a
brotheriess dog. seller of incense sticks. =
'sWell-well do your will, Sin-wan. 1t Is
the only way AS for me, am not feeling
happy too. / have a son, who mas an
enemy. 1 am going to look for my son now,

be necessary for me to kill his enemy or
no.
pwell, then, may you do we'll. Ni-ching-
ting =,
eAnd you. may you do well, Sin-wan!'
And so they parted. But they neither or
them found Ah-lin or Foo-chee that night;
for they did not think of looking into the
eating house of -Chang-Lf, where they
two again were that night.
So Sin-wan and Ni-ching-tang hurried
back, both of them. to the imperial pre-
cincts, making an inward vow that, on the
next night, they would procure more time,
and do better.

1t was some twenty minutes before the
see-saw OF the swinging wires ceased Sin
wan hurriedly left his post. ran toward
John and bound his eyes with cloth.
What happened within the next FIVE min
ear to detect the sound, though he kept on
mechanically bawling in lower key. But
he heard nothing. In reality Sin-wan was
reheatfng the metals 10 redness; and his
noiselessness had for Its motive the fact
that he wished to take the victim BY sur
prise.
When the two bits of metal were of a
bright glowing red he passed one limb of
the pfneers inside the top of the and the
other limb inside the upper curve of the s..
and holding them so together, at once
trotted eagerly and silently upon John.
A beastiy scream broke forth. wondrously
physical anguish. Sin-wan had suddenly
clapped the hot pieces upon Hardy's right
br east and held them there. The metal
sank. rs into a bed Of soft luxury. into the
wasting flesh, fzzling forth a steaming
smoke and reeking stencil
At the exact moment when his spirit
tainted and he lost the sense of pain Foo
chez and Ah-ln met in one long embrace.
Toward this they had been drawn and
swept for days. and now, as the poets say,
the two trembling dewdrops had trembled
into one.
*.
all the members of Foo-chee's and Ah-lin.s
company had swarmed back into the town;
for the drilling Of the drilled was over.
And only these two were left.
And Foo-chee said:
"Ah-lin''
And Ah-Iin said:
"Foo-chee.'
And Foe-chee said
Il am feeling happy, Ah-lin; for we are
here where none see us, and the neon
which is rising there Is pleasant to see,
though her face is round.
And Ah-lin said:
"Ier face is broad in laugh of joy. Foo
chez! And do you like a woman with a
broad face, Foo-chee. or with a lons?'
Il like woman with a long face. All
lin,'' said Foo-chee, like yours, Ah-lin."
And Ah-lin replied:
II am not feeling at all unhappy. Foo
chez"
And 1t was then that the two dewdrops
trembled into one In long embrace
A really long one: for it began a minute
before the closing Of the gates of Picking,
and 1t lasted a minute after 1t. And had
they had any idea of the real state Of af-
fairs they would have felt like two very
shattered and dislocated dewdrops indeed.
1t was Ah-lin who woke first from her
trance, and she woke from it with start
that made her pigtail wriggle, and she
whispered an awful pallid word into the
of Foo-chee. and together they started
toward the gates.
They were shut out, they were hopelessly
late. Picking refused them. They must
spend the long night without.
Ah-lin had an instinct that this meant
death for her beloved. perhaps for herself
also.
They stood hand-in- hand. and the upper
corners of their slanting eyes went very
high indeed.
Still, whole night hard-i n-hand with
the beloved is not nothing. They walked
away with a happiness troubled, but not
destroyed.
