ask. With CaSlmir there was no doubt save the doubt of the answer. Sophy stood poised on hesitation. The pres ent seemed perfect. Only an unknown future cried to her through the falling night
 "I'l win glory for you" he cried ''The emperor will fight"'
 You're no emperor's man." she mocked. ."Yes, while he means France. I'm for anybody who means France" For a moment serious, the next he kisses her hand merrily. "Or for anybody who'll give me wreath. a medal, toy to bring home to her love-"
 You're very fascinating" Sophy con- fessed
 It was not the word. Casimir fell from his exaltation. '1t's not love, that of yours,' he said. "No-I don't know. You might make it love. Oh, how I talk beyond my rights!"
 Beyond your rights? Impossible! 0uy l SO OA
 He saw Sophy's smile dimly through the gloom. From it he glanced to the dying gleam of the white houses drop ped among the trees, to the dull mass of the ancient home of history and kings. But back he came to the liv- ing, elusive, half seen smile.
 "Can you stop" said Sophy.
 He raised his hat from his head and stopped to kiss her hand
 ''Nor would nor could," said he-'in the warmth of life or the cold hour of deathr

 ' Pretend he's therer'
 'Then, of anything except how many men die for what he wants"
 ''Or of how many women weep"
 Her reply set new light to his pas sion. You'd weep?" he cried.
 "Oh, suppose SOL" The answer was half laugh, half sob.
 But not too much! No more than the slightest dimness to the glowing starr'
 Sophy laughed in a tremulous key. Her body shook. She laid her hands in his. No more, no more! Sufely Marie and the student are boted? Isn't 1t supper time?

 How otherwise?" he asked.
 She tossed her head impatiently. T don't know-but-but Pharos makes me afraid. He-he says that things love dle.'
 The young soldier laughed. "That leaves him pretty safe" said he.
 She put her arm through his. and they walked down. It had been night to be forgotten only when all is. Yet she went from him unpledged.

sketch of Burned City.

Chelsea is a chartered city of Iassa-
chusetts. distant not more than three
miles from the center of Boston. 1t is
to the northeast OF Boston and at the
head Of the Mystic River. Ferries and
steam railways connect it with the city.
The place which is called Chelsea was
settled in 1875, as Winnisimmet. and was
a part of Boston from 1884 to 1913 II
was then incorporated as a town. In
May. 1775. there was a skirmish between
a small body Of British and American
forces in Chelsea. in which the Amer
leans were victorious. Chelsea was in
corporated as a city in 1857.
The principal public buildings are the
courthouse, city hall. the United States
naval and marine hospitals, the Soldiers
Home. the Fitz Public Library, and the
odd Fellows and Masonic halls Union
Park and the public Fairgrounds are the
eity's spaces.
Chelsea is chiefly a residential place,
but there are manufactures there Rub
Der goods, woolens. foundry and machine
shop products. shoes, brass goods. stoves,
tiles. and pottery are among the produc-
tions. The city owns and operates its
own waterworks. incidentally it is q
prohibition city. The annual income of
the city is about $4,000 The chief ex-
penses are: Police. $500; fire depart
ment, So, 900; schools, $4,000
The population in 1900 was 3L072.

in a municipal building in which the
police station is located TO devise means
of aiding the victims.
While the reporters were circling the
fire district an Everett fire wagon was
seen driving down Second street with an
injured fireman.
Company 3, Of Everett, Capt. SWEET
ger. has been called out. and some Of
the militiamen are doing duty in the fire
district. Two Boston companies also re
ported for guard duty.
one OF the worst features OF the fire,
and feature fraught with more serious
consequences for East Boston, was when
the Tidewater oil Company and Leonard
& Ellis oil Company. on Chelsea River,
opposite the Standard Oil works. on Sar-
atOga street. caught FIRE.
Fire Commissioner Parker massed ap-
paratus on Saratoga street to meet an
emergency. and there was plenty OF need
OF it, for within ten minutes after the
tanks OF the Tidewater OIL Company be-
gan to explode no less than half a dozen
/ fires started in East Boston from the
blazing oil blown across the fats.
Commissioner Parker said Boston would
lose three Of her engines; engine Is, an
i emergency steamer, was gone, With about
! 200 feet OF hose, and two engines on
/ the old Chelsea Bridge had been aban-
d0ned.

BURNS TO WATER FRONT.
Fire Leaves Hundreds Huddled in
Streets without Any shelter.

Chelsea. Mass. April 12.-The fire which
devastated this city to-day started on
Second street. just across the railroad
track from the Everett line; It burned
along in a southerly direction and soon
spread out, showing a fire frontal of
nearly half a mile. Il swept away all
kinds Of buildings. dwellings. stables.
factories. blocks OF stores of various
kinds, leaving nothing in its wake but
foundations and burned chimneys
The IRE up 10 4.30 o'clock had burned
clear across from Everett to East Boston.
"a distance of about two miles in length
and at the widest point nearly one nile
in width.
The fire swept clear through the city,
only stopping at the waters edge. and
then resumed its onward march TO the
Easl Boston side. where the Boston fire.
men have been rafting with it for a
couple Of hours.
On Second street, starting from the
Everett line, which parallels the burned
district, wagons loaded with furniture are
standing in the street, and families with
the bedding. furniture. and even babies
in arms. are huddled in groups in their
.endeavor to cover the children from the
cutting wind.
At 40 o'clock the firemen made a
heroic stand. saving the Williams School
house. in Second street, and bounded by
Walnut and Poplar streets. Firemen and
United States marines from the navy
yard, who volunteered, climbed on top Of
the schoolhouse and with axes began 10
cut away the posts supporting the beIfry
which had already caught fire. In the
meantime the firemen were combating
the fire. which was approaching from
three directions
On Poplar street, within 100 feet OF the
school, a two-story wooden structure was
enveloped in flames. Directly in the rear
of the school. seventy-five feet away, was
a thTee-story house. and on the other
corner was a two-story house. All three
of these were burned down. BY keeping
streams on the brick school building the
firemen saved the school.
At the station house there are hundreds
of families in the guardroom huddled
together and their furniture and house
hold goods are strewn about the floor.
The poor people looked thoroughly be-
wildered. and the nurses and doctors from
the naval hospital who were In attend
ance looked after those needing medical
assistance
As the city hall has been burned out,
the city government will hold a meeting
