The End.
LOSS AT SAN FRANCISCO.
Enormous Though It Be It Is Less
Than Some Individual Fortunes.

Than Some Individual Fortunes.
Hartford Courant-Suppoce that the
reported loss of 5000, 100000 In San
Francisco is verified. The figures are
appalling, and the public look on it
as one Of the calamites of modern
times. It's effects are supposed to
reach every corner of the earth. The
like has not been known since modern
civilization came on deck There is no
language too strong to depict the
magnitude of the loss to the world by
the destruction of such an enormous
and almost inconceivable amount of
property.
Think Of that, and then reflect that
if Andrew Carnegie, one single citl-
zen, should lose $2OO,OOO,OO0, the
amount supposed Thursday morning
to be lost by the entire San Francis
co calamity, he would still have left
in his possession one of the gigantic
fortunes of all history. We take Car
negie, not because he is the richest
man in the country, but because the
definite fact has been made known
that in selling out his steel interests,
he received $3OO,00O,OO0 in five per
cent bonds of the new company. This
item has, of course, grown largely
since then by accumulation Of inter
disbursements, and it has been sup
posed to be only a part of the mans
possession Rockefeller is considered
far richer than Carnegie. Think of
these things, ana then speculate a bit
whether President Roosevelt is go
calist" and "demagogue" in calling
attention to the perils Of growing
fortunes and the need of dividing
rather than of increasing them from
generation to generation.
But that is merely a question of
ownership and the power that goes
with it. The property exist whether
owned by one man or many, but in
this California trouble the property
has been destroyed. 1t means great
losses sub-divided among people. At
the way people live nowadays, it is
safe to say that two-thirds of the
houses and buildings in this country,
and so presumably in San Francisco,
are mortgaged. The security for these
mortgages has disappeared in large
part and, If the insurance was made
quate or in weak companies, good
when there is no fire, then the loss is
without hope of recovery. The re-
sources of the insurance companies
will be tremendously taxed to meet
their obligations, but these will be
met by such companies as we have
here in Hartford. They will be all
the stronger, too, by what they pay
out. The public are gradually learn
ing that fire insurance must be of the
sort that is good when the strain
comes, not merely good when there
are no fires and nothing to do but col /
leCt premiums.
Per CONTRA there will be lot of re-
building, must be- and this will mean
demand for more material, abundance
of opportunity for labor, and a spur
to commercial activity. The world
viii eventually pay for the loss, but
one of the rst symptoms of the disas
ter will be quickened trade and bust
ness stimulated by the destruction.
1t Is historic fact that Chicago, Bos
ton, Baltimore and other places that
have experienced great disasters have
come out of them better cities after
reconstruction.

CHAPTER XIII.

One day Lord Aucnester and his
wife, and Mr.. and Mrs Ralph Dun
combe, were staying at a country
house in the north. 1t was an extreme,
ly pleasant party, of which these two
ladies were, by general consent, ad-
mitted to be the bells and the hostess
not unreasonably proud of having the
nous Lady Auchestcr under her
IJOf, decided to give big dance
which should include all the neighbOr-
ing county families and their guests.
Half an hour before the opening
CT the bali while Leslie was dressing,
re hostess, Lady Springmore, came
to her in ag reat tlutter of excite

"Oh, my dear Lady Auchester,
e." so sorry"
"W hat is 1t, Lady Springmore?"
'1ls--its something concerning you
ed Lord AuChestcr,"
"Then I'd better call my husband
said Leslie.
mo, no; not yet! Oh, I'd better
tell you at once"
Dear Lady Auchester: The Nor
tonss have got Lady Eleanor Dallas
staying it'll them, and-hnd she is
coming here tonight"
"Well?"
We'll" echoed the hostess, in a
kind of despair. Don't you see,
dear? She doesn't know you are here,
and-and oh, what shall | do?'
40 nothing" replied Leslie.
"But-but will it not be awkward
and unpleasant for you, dear Lady
Auchester?'
YES, It will be both awkward and
unpleasant; but if we ran away from
all the awkwardness and unpleasant
ness in life we should spend our time
in perpetual flight"
An hour or two later, when the
ball was in fun swing, Leslie heard
the footman announce:
Lady Eleanor ballast"
In rnother moment they were fac.
ing each other; Norke with an uncon-
sciously stern face, Lady Eleanor
with faint smile which masked more
than pen can tell.
How do you do. Lord Auchester?'
she said, giving him her hand,

until Leslie's first girl was born.
There had been a good deal Of what
the duke said-who made more fuss
than any one discover the birth of
the son an heir; but this child, the
first girl, was hailed as II she were
the most wonderful production the
world had ever seen, and Lucy was

And the state of affairs had caused him

Why all the bad children to good ones had

Gone all the Ill tempers and cross, angry

Devoted each child to his work and his

BATTLES WITH A HAT PIN.
Chicago Girl Fights Robbers and Saves
$4,000.


Battling with a hat pin against five
highwaymen who attacked her in
broad daylight on a crowded street,
Miss May Gates, cashier in a Chicago
confectionery company, held her as
sailants at bay until the police came
to her rescue. Her resistance saved
her employers $4,000, which she was
bringing from the bank to meet the
company's payroll.
Miss Gates left the bank at noon,
took a street car to within a block
of the company's Office and was al
most in the doorway when the five
robbers, masked and armed, attacked
and dragged her into an alley, strug-
Cling to wrest from her the handbag
in which she carried the money. By
ISLANDERS rushed to the young woman's
rescue, but the highwaymen drew their
revolvers and fought so desperately
that they were not only defying them
completely but seemed in fair way to
overpower Miss Gates.
Attracted to the spot by the commo-
ton, half dozen bluecoats and de-
tectives at last entered the fight.
After 20 or 80 shots had been ex-
changed, the robbers attempted to es-
cape on passing street car. Three
of them eluded the officers. Two, who
gave the names of Harry Farnum and
Harry Baller, were arrested.
