fire when she heard the grandson cry
out the alarm.
She was only barely able to escape
with her own life, not having a mo-
ment to attempt to rescue the 9TH
ers. The house was of wooden con-
struction. By the time she reached
the yard the building was wrapped
in flames. Fifteen minutes later it
was in ashes.
Mrs. Harry Clark, the congress
mans married daughter, and the
house servant, who were sleeping on
the first floor, were among the others
to escape.

sitting with her back to the serving table

last few minutes-and she had her excuse
in the leveled glare of the setting sun
she had been gradually shifting her posi-

her field of vision at last And as she
had only too strongly suspected. there
was to be seen neither Queen Anne tray
nor three-piece service nor ancestral
tankard!
Mr.. Carter had marked the direction in
which her eyes had Travelled. And now
with what might very well have been
mistaken for eagerness-he began at once
to speak about that silver. In fact, he had
been just about to bring 1t up. To tell the
truth they didn't seem to have had the
right sort of polish for it. 1t had kept
on getting duller and more tarnished in
spite Of all they could do. And in the end
they had made up their minds to have it
cleaned up decently. When she returned
she could count on finding the things n

she had left them. They had felt 1t only

In the federal court room yesterday
Examiner Frank Lyon for the inter

the case in which the Commercial club
OF Boise complained that the Pacific
Express company had Disseminated
against that city in express rates. The
hearing was not of long duration, only
a few persons being heard i'm the mat

the express company fifteen days from
then to answer. From May - ten days
