tall. many-armed candelab bra, the flicker

the distant corners ot the vast pane led

PART III.
A GAME OF CHESS.
CHAPTER XIX,
The Pawns.

The evening banquet had been anything
but gay.
The queen. as was oft her wont. had
hardly said a word. The Cardinal de
Moreno looked thoughtful. and his grace
of Wessex was singularly silent.
Directly after supper her majesty re-
tired to her own apartments, accom-
panied by her ladies' leaving behind her
that desultory atmosphere of dull and
purposeess conversation which hangs
round a supper table in the absence of
the fair sex.
The brilliant assembly broke up into
small groups. The Eearl of Pembroke
and two or three other lords were leav-
ing for Scotland toward midnight: their
friends gathered round them to bid them
godspeed. In the deep embrasure Of
the great bay his grace of Wessex was
in earnest conference with Lord Win
chester and Sir William Drury. while
at one end of the long center table half
a dozen young gallants were idling over
a game of hazard.
But there was feeling OF obsession in
the air: a sense as if something mo-
mentous was about TO happen. Whispered
rumors more or less conflicting. were
affoat, yet nothing definite was known.
On the other hand, idle, far-fetched gos-
sip was rife and was even growing IN
extravaganza as the evening wore on.
No one had been present on the terrace

and the cardinal would not be likely 20

his version of the event.

TWO FIRES SATURDAY.
One On Harrison Avenue and One Az
South Gardiner.

There were two fires in Gardiner
Saturday. on" was in this section of
the city and the other at South Car
diner IN both cases but little damage
was done. Shortly after O'Clock sat
urdaY morning alarm ~ was blown for
Il fire ut % Harrison avenue. 4 spark
from the chimney lodged on the bank
house The fire got into the walls of
the house but the members of the
family broke holes in the plastering
and poured q few pals of water down
upon the flames and We're fortunate
enough to put the fire out before the
department arrived. The house. which
IS owned by r. G. Plaisted, suffered
small damage Fred Hunt occupied
the lower floor and William Blake lived
up stairs A strong gale was blowing
when the fire started and if it had not
been controlled as quickly as it was
other buildings would have been in
danger.
Fire was discovered Saturday after
noon in house owned by Lawrence
Bros near the rOundhOuSc at South
Gardiner The mill crew went to the
rescue and the fire was distinguished
with little damage. The fire was first
noticed about o'clock and is supposed
to have caught from sparks from the
chimney. The house was occupied BY
Lewis Knox. whose wife is i'll, but she
did not have to be removed.
