in It's very entrance he was met by a
man supporting The insensible Sarah.
There was but barely time to reach the
lawn again before the fire broke through
the windows and wrapped the whole build
ing in sheet of fame.
"God be praised.' calculated the pre-
server of Sarah; sit would have been a
dreadful death to die"
The trooper turned from gazing at the
edifice to the speaker, and to his aston
ishment, instead of one of his own men,
he beheld the peddler.
"Ha! the spy" he exclaimed; "by
heavens, you cross me like spectre"
Captain Lawton," said Birch, lean
ing in momentary exhaustion against the
fence. Il am again in your power, for
can neither flee nor resist"
"The cause of America Is dear to me
as life" said the trooper; "but she cannot
require her children to forget gratitude
and aonor. Fly, unhappy man, while yet
you are unseen, or it will exceed my pow
er to save you."
"May God prosper you, and make you
victorious over your enemies" said Birch,
grasping the hand of the dragoon with
an iron strength that his meager figure
did not indicate

are you what you seem ?-can you-are

"A royal spy" interrupted Birch, avert
ing his face, and endeavoring to release
his hand.
Then go, miserable wretch said the
trooper, relinquishing his grasp; 'either
avarice or delusion has led a noble heart
astrayw
The bright light from the flames reach
ed great distance around the ruins, but
the words were hardly past the lips Of
Lawton before the gaunt form of the ped
der had glidcd over the visible space and
plunged into the darkness beyond.

home Of every person applying to the
State Dispensary for treatment. 1t will
be the duty Of the visiting nurses to in
struct the patient and the patients fam

fresh air, the most desirable foods. and
how to conduct themselves so as to avoid
infection. Every member of household
in which consumptive lives will be In
spected, and where there is a sign of i'll
health the suspected person will be per-
suaded TO adopt precautionary measures.
In this way it IS hoped the State will
be able to check the spread OF the great
white plague" by discovering hundreds
of cases in the early stages when cure
is probable. The difficulty which has
been experienced in sanitarium work
heretofore Is that cases are not reached
until they are too far advanced to be
susceptible Of cure.

cscaving a marauder to the jaw; but the
leader sprang into the lawn and escaped
his vengeance. The shrieks of the fe-
ssaales restored Lawton to his presence of
nind. One more of the gang fell in with
che dragons, and met his death; but the
rvmainder had taken the alarm in season.
Occupied with Sarah, neither Miss Sim
gfeton nor the ladies of the house had dis
severed the entrance of the SINNERS,
though the flames were raging around
chem. The shrieks Of Katy and the terri
&ed consort of Caesar, together with the
noise and uproar in the adjacent apart

bella to Q sense of their danger.
"Mercifui Providencew exclaimed the
alarmed aunt; ''there is dreadful con-
fusion In the house, and there will be
hioodshed In consequence Of the affair"
Frances was left alone with her sister.
"A few minutes We're passed in silence,
when loud crash in the upper apart

raised herself ON her bed. and staring
wildly around, pressed both her hands on

The brief arrangements of the dragons

ception of the ladies, the one being in
tended as sleeping room and situated
within the other. Into the latter Isabella

quest, and placed on a rude bed by the

countenance that induced them to think
her uninjured.

bosom, still smiling, but with a ghastli-

gazing, in melancholy interest, at the con-

withdrew to meet his comrade. The in

was painful, and, for moment, Isabella
yielded TO a burst of tenderness; but, az
if aware that her hours were numbered
she was the first to rouse herself to ex.

was left to herself, the captain and Fran

ment for the two payments of 1907

The work of examining the papers
sent in by the different counties for

OF those who passed 10 secured first
grades, 204 second grades and 227
third grades. A larger percentage Of
the applicants passed than for the ex-
