CdAPIER -(COntlnued.)
"Now they belong to nobody" says he,
with quite extraordinary pleading. In
his heart he knows they belong to Sir
Lucien, but sometimes it is impossible
to be too honest. And that old miser
can wait for these until he gets the rest.
Come up out of this dismal place"
Outside they part, but when they have
gone step or two, he stops and comes
to her again.
1T is nothing" says he, uncertainty,
"only, little while ago | said our &C
quaintance was but a short one. l want
to take that back. want to tell you
that l feel as if 1 had known you for

Tears rise in her eyes. She gives him
her hand silently. Raising his hat, he
stoops and presses his lips to it. Their
eyes meet. She is seeing him throug Oh a
misty veil-he is seeing her as he has
never seen woman before, Oh the dear,
sad, sweet little face.
He would have held her, but she shakes
her head. and without a word goes swift
iy from him. Her steps have turned to-
wards her home, that bleak. melancholy
old house on the top of the hill. And
without so much as one backward glance,
she disappears from his view.
"She might have looked, even once,"
says he disappointedly, when the last turn
of the last corner has been passed by
the all too swift feet of his beloved. 1T
wouldn't have been SO much !"
Rut how could he know that the tears
were running so fast down her cheeks
that she dare not turn, that she does not
dare even 70 raise her handkerchief to
stay them, lest he read the action rightly
and come back to her.

Beautiful City SprinsinE With In
credible Swiftness From Ruins.
S. f. Booth, general agent of the
| passenger department of the Union Pa
| cific in San Francisco, in discussing the
city, says
1T is now twenty months since San
Francisco experienced the most de-
| structive fire of either ancient or mod
ern times, and the vast amount of
work accomplished in that time has as
| founded not only visitors, but our own
people Many predictions were made
as to the time necessary to make even
showing in the vast ruins which lay
on every hand; the most sentimental
among US guessing five years, while
conservative business men said ten,
twenty or more, but they all gave too
| little credit to the indomitable energy
which pervaded the citizens of San
| Francisco in every walk of life with
desire Nas fiercely burning TO rebuild
as the element Itch consumed our
fair city. The city is in reality as far
advanced as the most sanguine thought
| it would be In five years, and at the
same rate of progress another year
will wipe off all the scars. Over $4,000
buildings were destroyed by fire. Since
then over 5000 have been completed
and about 1900 more are under way.
| This shows about 80 per cent of restor-
alton. The value of the new buildings
represent an outlay of $1O3,OO0,O00,
while it Is estimated the value Of the
$4,000 destroyed was $105,0OO,0OO,
showing our new buildings to be ap-
proximately three times as good as the
old ones.
$50 great was the volume of sup
plies for rebuilding and replenishing
| the temporary stores that almost i'm
mediately the railroad lines were COM
pletely swamped and utterly unable TO
handle the freight. Then came strikes
of all kinds; claims from rival cities
on the coast that San Francisco mad
| the dreaded bubonic plague and to cap
the climax our mayor and city IA
Tiers were charged with plundering us
right and left while the ashes were yet
| hot.
The north end Of the town. which
was completely wiped out by the fire,
has been rebuilt SO solidly that no
trace of the fire is now visible in that
section. In the Mission, or southern
end of the town, equal energy has been
displayed.
The only section which has been
slow in rebuilding is north of Market
| street, where, prior to the fire, there
was a number of fine houses. This is
owing TO the fact that these parcels of
land are held in small holdings by
people of moderate means. and being
within the fire limits, they are unable
10 obtain the necessary capital to put
| up expensive buildings, as required by
| law
There Is a movement on foot for a
! Greater San Francisco taking in the
towns within a radius of fifteen miles.
This would give San Francisco a pop
ulation of 100000, and it would thus
actually place her in the position she
nominally occupies, of the fourth larg-
est city in the United States"

Emergency Treatment.

If one Is ever seized with a sudden
hemorrhage from the lungs the first
thing TO be done, before the doctor gets
there. is to take dry salt as quickly as
possible. This often prevents further
bleeding entirely. A tablespoonful of
salt is hot too much to take, provided
1t is done gradually so as not to choke.
The patient should. moreover, keep
perfectly quiet and free from excite.
ment and stay in a room not too hot.
