CHILDREN N DANGER DANGER
OF HORRIBLE DEATH
Prompt Work of Firemen Saves
lob Little Ones From Per-
ishing In Flames.

Northampton, N. Y. Jam. 19.--Pr-npt
work by fremen and attendants OF the
Su~squehanna Valley home is thought
to have saved the lives OF all of the
155 children inmates when fire broke
out this morning In the boiler room.
A careful search of the building
failed to reveal any bodies. The fire
had a good start when discovered, and
before the arrival of the firemen the
nearest company being two miles
away, the dormitory building was filled
with smoke. Dozens of the children
were carried out unconscious by the
firemen and were attended by physi-
clans summoned from the city.
The fire loss was not large, as the
flames were confined to the basement
of the building.

In the dim light beyond the cavern,
stood upon the very brink OF eternity
and might have spoken his last word
on earth. This reflection was my own.
The stolid boatswain made nothing or
1t. He covered the lantern methodicaL
ly and squatted back against the rcck.
"Yon yellow laddie's fine" he whis-
pered; "'twould be as good as dead
the man were. Has your honJr sucn

No; we'll. I'll do well wanting It,"
I smiled, but did not answer him.
In truth, / had begun to find tho min
utes of waiting intolerable. What with
the oppressive atmosphere of the tun-
mel, the heated, steam laden air, and
upon this the ghostly fascination OF the
specter at the cavern's mouth. 1t came
to me thsc my own strength might
not carry me safely through the ordeal.
What kept Okyada? The sentry, on
his part, did not appear to a moved
since I had first seen him. There weS
not a sound In the cave save that OF
the kissing steam behind us. I could
not discover the little figure Of my
servant, though / was looking from
the darkness toward the light. Had
he come to the conclusion that ii was
dangerous to go on? This seemed pos
sible; and / had already taken a few
steps toward the tunnels mouth when
his figure suddenly emerged into the
light, and, standing side by side with
the gentry he uttered that soft, pur-
ring whistle which called to us to
come on.
lyons one of our own, then" the
boatswain said, starting to his feet
clumsily.
Then some one has gone under and
he Is keeping watch over him. I re-

My words were Greek to him, OF
course; me he answered me with a
strange oath and an expression Of opin-
ION upon Portuguese n others which
was quite valueless. My own curiosity
now turned, however, to the odd fact
that the sentry remained motionless,
n that okyada did not ppear 10
have changed a single word with him.
Who, then, was the man, and what
kept him in that grotesque attitude?
At a distance Of so yards from the
light I could not nave told you-but
at 20 yards I understood. The wretched
man was stone lead as his fellow who
lay upon the path. A bullet from an
unknown rife had shot him through
the heart as he stood in ambush wait
ing for me. So much I hazarded on
the instant. The truth must be made
known to me upon the yachts deck.

CHAPTER XI-(Continued.)
MAX PEMBERTON

when a woman learns to love and is
loved. she has no past" I said; "all
that should concern her is the happi-
ness OF the mar to whom she has given
her life. In your own case / believe
that we shall read the story Of bygone
years together, and find 1t a sweet
story. I do not know, Joan; I am only
guessing; but I think It will be a story
of a woman's love and a fathers suffer-
ing of an innocent man upon whom
the gates OF a prison were long closed.
Say that the child Of these two. entitled
to fortune In her own right, became
the prey of a villain and we shall be
far upon our way. That's the thought
OF your prophet. He would give much,
Joan, II the facts were as he believes
them to be-"
Be sure she turned her head at this
and looked me full In the face. I have
never seen so many emotions ex-
pressed upon a childish face-joy,
race to read an enigma, she under
stood me almost as Don as I had
spoken. A light OF wondrous thankful
ness shone In her eyes. There were
long minutes together when we sat
there in silence, and the only sound
was that of her heart beating.
"Oh," h cried, "if 1t were true. DR..
.Fabos, IL were true!"
II will prove 1t true before we have
been in England a MONTH"
She laughed q little sadly.
"England-England; how far Is Eng

IF we were birds to fly over the
Ehills!"
THE hills will be kind to US. To-
day, tomorrow, whenever 1t is, Joan,
will nc. cross the hills with me q
She promised me with a warmth that
betrayed her desire; and fearing to
dwell upon 1t, / left her and went again
to the little river to see what message
1t had for me. Did the waters still
Isubside, or had my fancy been an hallu-
Icination? Standing this day upon the
very brink of the chasm through which
the river flowed, I knew that I was
not mistaken. The stream had sub
sided by another DOT at the least; II
mo longer raced and tuinbled through
the gorge; 1t was scarcely more than
warm to the hand. Some one without
had diverted it's course, and would dam
1t altogether when the good hour
came.

Contract to Buy Ice at 81 Per Tor
For Which Consumer Pays 40
Cents Per Hundred,
Basis Of Suit.
MRS. SANDERS ANSWER
Declares She Did Not Violate Decree
Of Court and Charges That
Court Has No JurIsdic-
ton Over Child.

Setting out that Henry Becker, the
st. Louis ice dealer, has failed to
abide by his contract with Albert Az
niger, now deceased, to supply 1000
tons Of ice at 81 per ton, Amelia
Azinger, executrix of the last will and
testament, today brought suit in the
district court to recover $1,000. The
petition alleged that contract was
entered into on March 10, 1909, by
virtue of which the defendant was to
supply the above amount of Ice after
he had cut 1000 tons for himself. The
price to be paid was 81 ton If the
ice harvest was an abundant one; IL
not, the price by the contract was to
be s1.25. If the defendant cut 1000
tons the harvest was considered
abundant enough to make the lower
price effective.
The attorney for Mrs Alice Sanders,
divorced wife of Henry Sanders, who
is under fire at the present time for
several offenses, today In the district
court filed an answer in the contempt
proceedings UeIOTe JuuSS henry Dduh
In which she denies that under the
decree 1t is in the power OF the court
to say whether or not she shall take
the minor child Maria Sanders, from
Nauvoo. 1T is pointed out that 1t Is
for the defendant Henry Sanders, to
say whether or not she should take
her own child. The answer further
goes on to show that the court had
neither authority to permit or to re-
fuse the application of the plaintiff or
defendant and by the decree 1t Is a
matter controlled by the two parties.
Giving this as an Interpretation of the
decree the answer tells OF numerous
visits Mrs Sanders has made to the
Grand Hotel, remaining during the
day, and bringing the child from Nau
voo An affidavit by third party is
made to substantiate this. The an
swer also charges the defendant with
being in default for not filing an
amended and substituted petition with
