as it grew, and as it caught more full

Then the four watchers uttered, in
one breath. a horror-frozen cry, for.
as a falcon does, it dropped, HURTING.
But not to the destruction they fore
saw; once more it darted forward, cir

her rail that they heard the whining
scream of the air as those mighty
wings cleft through 1t. And then, as

Jeanne stole a glance into Tom Fan

the tone and the infection Of that
voice would impress him as it had her.
Don't you find it hard to believe that
he could have done such a thing? p
she asked; "a man with a voice like
that"

girl saw an expression Of perpleXity

Mine and fathers, | mean? Did you

NO, only my own; and who father

A Mrssinn Leaf.

That ordinary care which is taken by the Japanese in their very exact .fower arrangements" Is illustrated by an incident related by Frederic s. Isham, the author. He was present at a demonstration in Ryoto of the art of placing flowers. leaves and branches together in an artistic man ner. At one point q little maid ap- parently offended the master" deeply He spoke to her and ended by order ing her to retire. She did so. prob ably the most broken hearted girl in Kyoto, and the master proceeded to alter her work The American. who had seen nothing wrong. ventured to ask what was tue matter. whereupon he was informed that she had placed twelve leayes iii certain combina- ton instead of thirteen. Twelve. 1t seems, was the right number POO years ago, but thought. study. medita- tion and prayer had led to the discov- cry that not twelve. but thirteen. was the correct number for the artistic effect of that particular arrangement. This may seem a trifiing alteration. but it suggests Miehelangelo's retort, fin which he pointed out the relation between trifies and perfection.

 The A. 0. U. W. hail east of con. crete bridge was totally destroyed by fire Inst Thursday evening. Fire broke out at 5 ?. m3 a few moments after N. Y. White, who rented the lower floor for garage and repair shop, had lock ed up for the night. The fire made great headway and although q crowd soon gathered it was impossible to en. ter the building, although an effort was made to save some land inslru- ments and effects of the lodge on the upper floor. A large amount of gaso- line, oil and other inllammable mate rial made the heat intense and only by heroic efforts were the nearby build. ings saved. The barn of NJ. B. Morse about ten feet distant, was badly dam aged and the store and poslofflce op- posite caught fire but was soon eXtin- guished. The stream nearby furnish ed q supply of water. The cause of fire is unknown. The building was an old landmark built about 90 years ago by Col. Lyon on the site where the Methodist church now stands. It was moved in lS35 or whereabouts and for some years was wheelwright shop, blows also being manufactured. In 1902 the first postotlice was established | and in connection with store occu- pied the lower floor about 20 years, the second floor being rented. Later il was made into hall, the local lodge having occupied it for more than 20 years. A few years ago 1t was enlarg- ed by a stage and cloak room, being utilized for social affairs and entertain ments. The lodge carried an insurance for S5O0. MT. White was also insured,
