CHAPTER VIII.

About a week after the arrival OF
hi relations the forester promulgat
! ed new house law, which he said
was most kindly received by his min
1ater and by virtue Of which the
Ferber family was required to line
every Sunday at the lodge These
we've happy days for Elizabeth. The
walk to church usually began long be
/ iO,e the church bells rang Clad in
! he HuJterug white dress, her soul
! eletCd v.th that sweet presentimen.
| Of youth. as though a bright day ever
could bring anything but happiness
| Elzaheuh walked in advance Of her
! parents, awaiting in pleasant eNpeC
| ttiOn the moment at which the gold
ball upon LindhOf church-steepIe
would CLEAN among the trees in the
! valley far below. Then the church
soers, emerging from the silent
! paths that opened from right and left
into their own began to join them
with greeting and haDdshaking until
they emerged in front of the church.
ing BY this time the church bells
were ringing. The forester greeted
| the family with joyful hat-waving and
| sparkling eyes In every movement Of
| his tai frame, in his whole carriage,
| there was revealed that unbending
/ truthfuIuess which does not shrink
/ before the greatest; that expression
! of manly strength and manly will
which leads us to expect great deter
mination, bold deeds, but never the
1 delicate emotions of rich, deep soul
| Elizabeth thought it indescribably
| touching when the firm, direct glance
! of her uncle melted upder the in,
/ luenCe Of some tender feeling. And
/ she had frequent opportunity to OBJ
serve the metamorphosis, for she had
become the apple of his eye. He had
never had children. and now bestow-
ed upon his brothers child all the
tatherly tenderness of which his rich,
full heart was capable, feeling pride
that this child was in many respects
intellectually kin to him, however
much the qualities of his own char
acter were penned in her by the
transmitting power of true womanli-
ness.
Elizabeth rewarded his love with
chiIdIike devotion and tender care.
She BON discovered all that belonged
TO his domstic comfort, and lent a
hand where Sabine's discernment or
efficient mand did not suffice. But
she did this so inconspicuously, and
with such tact, that the old servant
was never hurt, while around the
forester there blossomed only a Who'll
ly new, cosy life since Elizabeth
knew how TO humor his small whim
tactfulIy
On the way home from church,
which was usually traversed in com
mon, the forester led Elizabeth by
he hand, like a little school girl
as she said, and ! sid look so, pre-
cisely. The excel 1t sermon just
heard gave rise to lively exchange
of thought, the birds sang in the

soon dIIer dlnner little equlpaSe
drew up at the door The forester
stepped into it, and like lightning
flash Elizabeth was at his side Nod
ding parting greetings to those be
hind, she cast a fieeting glance at the
house. But she was terrified to
the depths of her soul by the eyes that
were fastened upon her from the top
story The head vanished instantly,
but Elizabeth had recognized the
mute Bertha, and had seen that her
look OF rage and hate was meant for
herself though she could not con.
ceive the cause of the enmity. Bertha
had hitherto maintained the most
strenuous reserve toward the Ferber
family, never having been visible,
alten as Elizabeth went to the
Lodge. She ate alone in ner room
since the forester had invited regular
guests for Sunday, and he let her do
sc. Perhaps he was very well
plea ed mat the two girls did not
come together.
Frau Ferber made a solitary at
tempt to approach the young girl.
Her warm, womanly heart found II
impossible to believe that defiance
and i'll Will could be the impelling mo-
tives of Bertha's extraordinary con-
duct. She suspected deep inward
depression, some trouble which made
the girl Indifferent to her sorround
lngs or so irratable that she might
prefer silence to speaking for fear of
conflict. She hoped that gentle
words, friendly approach, might
loosen the seal upon Bertha's lips
She had Jared no better than Eliza

W~~~EFF1Fupr,

Toulon, March f2.-The powder
magazine on board the French battle
ship lena blew up this afternoon and
as result Captain Adigard, command
er Of the battleship. Captain vertier,
Chief of staff of Meditefrean squardon
and from 20 to so blue jackets are dead,
while rear admiral Manceron and hun
dreds Of the men are suffering from in
juries. The entire after part Of the
lena was blown to piecies. The bod
les of the victims were hurled through
the air by succession of explosions
and panic stricken workmen at the
arsenal fled for their lives from the
vicinity of the dry dock. Scores on
board the lena Jumped OVERHEARD onto
the stone duays and received serious
injuries. The primary cause of the
accident was the explosion of a torpedo.
What caused the explosion is not
known, but the powder magazines
were set on fire and resulting explo-
sions practically destroyed what is
considered one of the best vessels in
the French navy.

Live Stock Market.

Denver Union Stock Yards, March
11-Buyers claim that beef steers were
relatively higher here last week than
at eastern markets and tried to cut
pfices, but were only partially success
full owing to the good demand and the
market closed nearly steady with pre-
ceeding week. Good cows, however,
were 10 to Is cents higher and trade
this morning brisk and again firmer.
Steer supply was quite liberal last
week but COW stuff was scarce and
best killing grades met strong demand.
Good steers sold at s4.25 to .s4.75 and
cows around So. 40 to 1915. Fancy stuff
was duotable higher but not much
offered. Bulls were wanted and sold
readily at $3.50 to $3.50. Veals about
steady, best selling at $3.50 and bulk
at $500 to 1926. Inquiry for good
feeders and stockers was better than
supply and prices firm. Best heavy
steers went to the country at $4.75 Hat
aud good light stockers brought s4.65.
Most fair to good steers sold at A.25 to
$4.6O with medium to fair at $500 to

Fire at Et. Lewis.

At 8 o'clock yesterday morning fire
was discovered by the night watch
man at Ft. Lewis, in the boys dormi-
tory building. The alarm was sound-
ed and everyone at the fort turned out
and fought the flames, which made
rapid progress until three of the build
ings were destroyed. They were the
large oys' dormitory building, the
school Hiding ard the chapel. The
buildings were old structures, On
which no insurance was carried, and
their delapidated condition makes
their destruction blessing rather th1n
loss, as Uncle Sam can now build
more suitable structures. The water
supply is reported to have been poor
and that only by hard work was the
other buildings shvsd. The contents
Of all the buildings was rescued from
the flames. s.-Wednesday's Durango
