But Bess reached the bedside. the fire

"'Im!" she cried. Paul. my fine gem

Then she gave a scream that sounded
loud and shrilly, echoing above the roar
of the flames, reaching the ears of the
men who had come at that moment
quietly and stealthily to the door of the
shop. She could not tell how it had

up her long, thin arms with shrek and
