CHAPTER VIII.

Giles Vernon and | agreed that it
was necessary we should strike the
blow as soon as possible, while we
had the weathergage, so TO speak, of
Sir Peter; and on the day after his
travelling chariot took it's way north
4 very plain post-chase followed it,
and in 1t were Giles Vernon and my.

Giles was in state of the widest
happiness conceivable. There is some.

all the vicissitudes of this life. treads

prise, so | joined with him in his joy
and revelry.
We reached Scarborough at four
O'Clock in the afternoon, and put up at
small inn on the outskirts of the
town, and some little way on the road
to the north. We sailed forth i'm.
mediately to find out something about
our inamoratas, and Fate-whether it
was that kindly goddess who leads our
footsteps toward those we love, or
whether it was the cruel Destiny
which delights in torturing men-at
once directed us. We were walking
along near the playhouse, which had
been lately opened in the town, when
we saw James, Lady Hawkshaw's own
footman, go inside the playhouse and
buy some tickets Of the man at the
door. AS soon as he was well out OF
the way l sneaked in, and, thrusting
two shillings into the mans hand, in.
quired if Sir Peter and Lady Hawk

the performance that night. The man

explained that l had not much to
fear. Daphne was undoubtedly fond
of me, and Lady Hawkshaw being on
our side, and other reasons in our
favor-all of which fitted Giles case
exactly. And at last l gave up. in
sheer despair and agreed to Giles

Arabella Stormont that I bought it."
| thought he was crazy, but l soon
perceived there was method in his
madness. He told me seriously
enough that he meant to carry off
Lady Arabella Stormont from Scar
borough.
"But-but-she does not like you,"
l said, hesitating and amazed.
I'VE shall see about that, my lad"
he said, and then began to tell me of
what he thought great change in his
favor with Arabella. He put many
trifling things which | had not noted
in such light that under his eloquent
persuasion l began to believe Lady
Arabella really might have secret
weakness for him which pride pre-
vented her from discovering. He had
never failed to win any woman's re-
gard yet; and it had always seemed
miracle to me, Richard Glyn, who
had fallen under his spell so many
years ago, how anybody could resist
him. He wound up his argument by
saying, in his usual confident manner:
Trust me, there is something com
pelling in the love l feel for Arabella.
Women are all alike, my boy. They
want a master Once put the bit in
their mouths, and they adore you for
it. Let me have the spirit to run away
with that adorable creature, and see
how quickly she will come to my call.
You will shortly see her clinging to

plans, and In them he showed his usual
shrewdness and boldness. The trip

BOILER BURSTS AT DENVER GAS
4 ELECTRIC CoMPANY's
PLANT.
PERSONS KILLED
THE EXPLOSION SHUTS OFF CITY
LIGHTS AND STOPS USE OF
MACHINERY.

Denver-Four persons were killed
outright and half dozen bruised and
maimed-three fatally-when one OF
the huge 75O-horsepower boilers ex-
ploded and broke from its foundation
at the Denver Gas and Electric Com
pany power plant, Sixth and Lawrence
streets, just after 6 O'Clock Tuesday
evening, and sailed like a balloon into
the air to come crashing through an
other section of the building. 100 feet
away, a few moments later. The loss
to the company is nearly 100000.
In the course of the twenty-ton mass
of iron and steel travelled death and
destruction. The powerful pressure Of
steam sent the boiler high in the air,
nearly 200 feet. 1t drove the bottom
head of the big tank deep in the
earth. Tons of masonry were jammed
in every direction.
The firemen and water tenders
standing by its side were crushed into
shape,oss mass. Flying blocks Of
masonry and scading jets Of steam
caused the injuries to those farther
away. In the path of the flying mis-
siles was five-year-old Joseph PERI,
who was standing in the yard of his
own home, near the plant He was
killed outright.
Freed from its foundation, the boiler
flew into space. AS it left its moor
ings the massive frame jumped over
the companion boiler and veered in its
flight. Careering slightly like a bal
loon, the boiler descended with tre-
mendous force in the farther corner of
the building. The roof was like It's
sue paper in its path Iron grders
bent like twigs. Heavy steel castings
were broken or cracked as if they
were eggshells.
A seeming miracle 1t was that saved
the men in the dynamo rooms. A score
of them heard the noise of the expo
sion. Another second and they were
frightened by the crash on the roof
and all hurried to the doors, escaping
the tons of steel and iron that came
hurtling down in the identical places
which they had just deserted This
was the wreck Of the power plant
the first explosion had left unscathed
engines and dynamos, and 1t was only
when the boiler struck the ground
again that the plant was put out of
commission. Costly dynamos were
wrecked, machinery which had cost
thousands to install was bent and
broken and the city of Denver was left
for time in darkness.
Newspapers and other establish
ments run by electric power were eth
er put out of commission or kept 60
ing by borrowed power from the Tram
way company and individual plants.
The Western Newspaper Union,
which furnishes ready prints for up
wards OF two hundred newspapers in
Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, Ne
braska and Oklahoma, was one of the
sufferers by loss of electric power,
temporarily stopping its linotypes and
presses. The News and Times were
also inconvenienced.
