FIREWORKS FACTORY IN
NUTLEY BURNED TO GROUND.
Flames of Varied Hues Provide
Spectacular Display.

The Nutley firemen were called out
about midnight last night to blaze at
the works of the Essex Speciality Com
pany on Harrison street and Franklin
avenue, which entirely destroyed the
building. The company made fireworks
and owing to the nature of the goods
the blaze proved to be spectacular, the
flames changing from one hue to an
other as the different colored fireworks
burned up.
No serious explosions occurred as the
company did not manufacture the
heavier pieces of pyrotechnics. The
homes of John and William Kirsch-
baum, nearby, were several times
threatened by the flames, but the ex-
cellent work done by the firemen con-
fined the blaze to the factory, which
was completely destroyed. The amount
of loss could not be ascertained.

She felt Mr. Mayors eyes regarding her
critically. Modest though she was, she
could but realize that she was tall; that she
was more than slender; that, while she was
not quite certain OF the meaning OF limpid," "
her eyes were certainly blue, and that her
complexion was the sort that went with red

superintendent. He saw the question
strike her as lightning strikes fair flower;
she shrunk from him, her ewes dilating
with indignation. Her lips moved, but no
sound came from them
How dare you so insult mel" she gasped
at length.
"Youspurn my lovel" he hoarsely Kissed.
"Take care, my naughty beauty. You

She drew herself up to her full height
and with cold dignity passed out Of the
Office door and returned to her spindle
Then came Chapter V. Milly, feverishly
following the fortunes Of Mildred, the fair
factory hand, from snug little fourth-hoor-
back, could have told her that she was foolish,
after the way that horrid old superintendent
had threatened her, to return to her humble
home by the lonely lane that lay along the
deserted abbey. FA
-at lonely turn in the road four masked
figures sprang out from the edge OF the
woods and seized her roughly.
Thoroughly frightened, she gave voice
to piercing scream:

"Silencel" hissed the leader Of the
rufians harshly, as his subordinates swiftly
bound her arms. Another sound and
you shall severely suffer for it"
1t was the voice OF the superintendent
His threat at the Office that afternoon
flashed through Mildred's mind With a
piteous sob she sank on her knees before
him.
Through the clear stiffness Of the starry
night came the faint clatter of galloping
hoofs
"Cursesl" Kissed the superintendent.
And then, dropping their fair burden, they
dove into the black recesses OF the forest.
Closer and closer came the sounds Of
horses and rumbling wheels. Suddenly
they ceased Mildred became dimly con-
scious of somebody bending over her with
lantern.
"There has been foul play here" she
heard him mutter "Twas as feared "
She felt herself being lifted tendefly into
coach. And then heard the command in
rich, vibrant voice:
"To the Lord Mayors Mansion-post
haste We will not go TO Lady Sommer-
salts ball tonight"
Her eyelids fickered. For moment her
soulful orbs met those Of her rescuer, bend
