- F all the long days he had ever
L lived through. that Thanksgiv-
~ ing day seemed to Jack Sher-
man the very longest. Out Of
numerous invitations he had chosen TO
accept a week end visit to a country
house, and the first face he recognized
iii the group waiting his arrival was
that of Miss Anne DinSmOre, a girl
who had refused him during the pre-
vious week. 1t had been easy enough
to avoid her throughout the forenoon
and afternoon. The house was q roomy
one. rambling and full of unexpected
halls and recesses. Jack could get
away from Miss Dinsmore, but not
from the pain Of her decided NO" So
he played golf and billiards, bridge and
everything suggested by his host and
hostess. and wondered all the time
where she might be in the house and
what lucky man was gazing into her
beautiful eyes.
When the jolly guests were all seat
ed at the long table he was suddenly
conscious of them bent gravely upon
him from across the festive flowers
and candles. Sherman gave her a
steady look, full of unutterable mean
ing, and began opening his napkin,
which seemed TO require unusual at
tentiOn. A hoarse cry Of Fire! Fire!
Fire!" brought all the guests TO their
feet. While they stared about them,
wondering. their host pulled off his
coat and darted toward the kitchen.
Sherman followed him, and Mrs. Pei
ham. with her bewildered friends about
her, fiocked in pursuit. The kitchen,
however, only presented a fine interior,

Miss Dinsmore seemed agitated. Her

man was pointing to a dark wreath Of
smoke ascending from the stable and
managed to explain to his master that
the water was frozen and his helpers
were getting out the animals while he
came for aid and advice.
A hasty council of the men was held

The buildings were arranged in a semi
circle, and the house was separated
from the great barn by little grove of
trees. There was a wind, quite high

Pelham decided to form a bucket bri-
gade and try by drenching the roof to
save his home.

known, were sleeping when the col
lisiOn occurred. ard the probabilities
are that all OF them excepting Dis

Is certain that life was extinct before
the flames touched them. President
SpenceT's body was burned almost be-

er. The body OF Schuyler was taken
from under the train before it was
burned very much. having been singed
only slightly. President Spencer's car
was attached to the rear of the Jack
sOnville train. which was standing
still when struck.
President Spencer was lying direct
~ under the big locomotive of the rear
train. So great was the force of the
impact that the forward train was sent
at least 40 feet ahead. the locomotive
going over and upon the body of Spen-
Ger Until after the debris burned it

bodies could not be removed.
The wreck occurred On the crest OF

thirty miles an hour, if that fast. Had

COUSIN KATE" PROVED
MOST DELIGHTFUL.

The presentation of Cousin Kate"
at the Opera House last night was in
deed a delightful affair, there being a
large audience, composed of many Of
Laramie's most appreciative theater-
goers. Miss Alberta Gallatin is GER
tainly a remarkable woman and her por-
trayal of the title role was superb. Her
enunciation is good and every look and
gesture was as perfect as though a re-
atty. Wilfred Rogers, Miss Gallatin's
Ileding support, as Heath Desmond, was
also a strong character and added
greatly to the play. Master Thomas
Kelly, a school boy, was a perfect little
man on the stage and won much favor
by his splendid work for one so young.
Two of the other character of the
piece had more than passing local in
terest as they are relatives of former
ILaramieites, although this fact was not
known until after the performance.
May Wells, who very acceptably filed
the role of Mrs. Spencer, a widow, is
the daughter-in-law of Rev. Chapman
who several years ago filled the pulpit
of the Presbyterian church of this city,
and James Bowman, the male servant,
is a nephew of Colonel Donnellan, now
of Salt Lake, but formerly president of
the First National bank of this city.
