coat across his mouth and once again dashed back. Josephine, standing with hands clasped, her eyes filled with ter TOT, expected never to see him emerge alive
 He was scarcely more than alive when once more he came back, blinded and staggering. This time arms reach ed out to him, steadied him, dragged him from the gallery, through the en- shrouding smoke, to place of safety.
 He bore something shielded, conceal ed in his arms-something which now he carried tenderly and placed down away from the sight of others, behind the shade of a protecting clump of shrubbery. His breath, labored, sob ping, showed his distress. They caught him again when he staggered back, dragged him to point somewhat re- moved, upon the lawn. All the time he struggled, as though once more to dash back into the flames, or as though to find his weapons. He was sobbing, half crazed, horribly burned, but seem ingly unmindful of his hurts.
 The fire went on steadily with it's work, the more rapidly now that the opening of the front doors had admit ted air to the interior. Dunwody ceased to struggle with those who re- strained him. He walked apart, near to the little clump of shrubs. He drop ped to the ground, his face in his hands
 An hour later Taliwoods mansion house was no more. The last of cor nice and pillar and corner post and beam had fallen into a smoldering mass. In front of one long window part of the heavy brick foundation re- matned Some bent and warped iron bars appeared across window.
 Unable to do anything, those who had witnessed such scenes scarce found it possible to depart. They stood about, whispering or remaining silent, some regarding the smolderfng ruin. Once in awhile a head was turn ed over shoulder toward bowed form which sat close under a sheltering tree upon the lawn
 ''He is taking it mighty hard,'' said this or that neighbor. Lost nigh about everything he had in the world.'' But still his bowed form, stern in its senu- nelship, guarded the something con- cealed behind the shadows And still they dared not go closer.
 So while Dunwody was taking that which had come to him, as human be- ings must. the gray of the dawn crawl ed up, up over the eastern edge of tt1s little Ozark. valley. After a time the day would come again-wou1d look with franker eyes upon this scene of horror. As the light grew stronger, though yet cold and gray, Dunwody, signing, raised his head from his hands ard turned. There was figure seated close to him-a woman, who reached out a hand to take his scared and burned ones in her own-a woman, moreover, who asked him no questions.
 "Oh. oh, God!'' he began, for the first time breaking silence, his burned lips twitching. And you-why don't you go away? What made you come?"
 She was silent for a time. Am I not your friend?" she asked at length.
 Now he could look at her. My friendr' said he bitterly. As if all the world had a friend for me! How could there be? But you saw that this''-

New York, Dec. 14-Since the desper- ate flight, between Erie railroad detec- tives and striking employees in the railroad yards at Edgewater, N. J., directly opposite New York, Sheriff Robert N. Heath and fifty deputies have been unusually active in dealing with the strikers. Every stranger in the vicinity of the battle, in which two railroad detectives were killed and nine men, all but one being rail- road detectives, were wounded, is searched, and those found to be arm ed sent to Jail. The scene of the trouble, although within sight of New York, is rather wild, and the bluff down which the strikers fired at the detectives might be miles away from civilization. In the upper picture, which shows where the fighting occur red, Grants Tomb is seen on the op- posite shore of the Hudson River.

firm hold upon the entire structure Smoke tnged with red lines poured through the great double doors of the mansion house. Yet even as she met the act with an exclamat ton of horror, Josephine saw Dunwody 1ing away his weapons, run to the great doors and crash through them, apparently bent upon reaching some point deep in the interior.
 Others saw this and joined in her cry of terror. The interior of the hall, thus disclosed by the opening of the doors, seemed but a mass of flames. An instant later Dunwody staggered back, his arm across his face. His hair was smoking, the mustaches half burned from his lips. He gasped for breath, but, revived by air, drew his

pen to me wouldn't be punishment enough for that. Now you ask me if you were not my friend? Of course you are not. How could you be?''
 '1t would be easier now than ever before," she said. But he shook his head. A .s--~-@1
 'I don't know. There are a heap of things I don't know. But I knew I loved you. It was forever That was what was meant to be. It seemed to me I owed debts on every hand-to the world-to you. I tried-tried to pay-to pay you fair, ache for ache, if could for the hurts I'd given you. And you wouldn't let me. You were wonderful. Before the throne of God -here-now, I'll say it, I love you! But now it's over."
 'You have courage, the large cour- age" she answered quietly. Haven't you been showing it by your very si- lence? You will be brave. You are just beginning. You have changed many things in your life of late.''
 "I have never changed very much in some ways.''
 "You have suffered great deal,'' she said simply. You have lost very much. You are no longer a boy. You are man now. You've changed be- cause you are a man. And it wasn't done for any reward"
 ''No maybe not. In some ways l don't think just the way 1 used to- But the sayagethe brute-in me is there just the same. 1 don't want to do what is right. don't want to know what is right. only want to do what I want to do. What I covet, I covet. What I love, I love. What I want, I want. That is all. And yet, just a minute ago you were telling me you would be a friend! Not to a man like that! It wouldn't be right"
 She made no answer. The faces of both were now turned toward the gray dawn beyond the hills. It was some moments before he turned to her.
 But you and I-just you and I, to- gether, thinking the way we both do, seeing what we both see-the splendid sadness and the glory of living and 1oving-and being what we both are! Oh, it all comes bac-- to me I tell you, and I say I nave not changed. What couldn't you and havesdone together? Ahi Nothing could have stopped us!''
 What could we not have done?'' she repeated slowly. i've done so little fin the worId-alone.'
 Something in her tone caught his ear, his senses, overstrung, vibrating in exquisite susceptibility, capable al most of hearing thought that dared not be thought. He turned his Dlackened face, bent toward her, looking into her face with an intensity which al- most annihilated the human limitations of flesh and blood. It was though his soul heard something in hers and turned to answer it, to demand it's repetition.
 Did you say, could have done?" he demanded.
 She did not answer, and he went on. ssIistenp' he said in his old, imperious way. What couldn't we do together in the world, for the world - even now?'
 For long time there was silence At last q light hand fell upon the brown and blistered one which he had thrust out.
 ''Do you think so?'' he heard gentle voice reply.
