Fire at Bernard .

BASS HARBoR, Jan. 13 Especially The
old Benson store at Bernard was de-
stroyed by fire last night. When the fire
was discovered about 10 O'Clock, the
whole interior of the building was in
flames.
The building was occupied by Willis
Towne, who came here from Bar Harbor
about two years ago. He had stock OF
groceries and fishermen's supplies, esti-
mated at q 900, and pool table and two
bowling alleys, all Of which were de-
stroyed. Mr.. Towne had an insurance of
&, 900, which will not cover his loss.
The building, owned by the Benson
heirs, was not insured. Though not of
great value, the income from it was the
principal means of support of the aged
Mrs. Benson, and the losses falls heavily
on her.

to a female Eurasian relative who
miraculously existed on the border
land of starvation somewhere near
Calcutta. When he had done ours
ing himself for his folly in having
made the thrice accursed bet, there
renamed tragedy-no less. He was
to pay away his salary for three
months, and these helpless ones, to
whom he was the giver of all, must
starve. Never once did he think of
mentioning them to MacManus, and
putting forward their plea for the
right to live. He had experienced
one taste of the white mans scorn
for the possible evader of debt OF
honor. 1t was enough, and more
than enough.
A little farther down the line, and
his most ardent wish was that Mac
Manus would die, and thus, being
released from all earthly concerns,
cease to trouble about the payment
of bets. Why not? All day the
man had tramped about, from dawn
till dusk, wet to the skin, and was
now probably sitting down to eat in
his steaming clothes. Cholera or
fever might pluck him out of the
midst of his hundred things to do
and put him neatly into his grave
within few hours. He might fall
off the bridge, be drowned in the
flood. The mental picture was so
satisfactory that Chunder Sen drew
deep breath of relief, and then, un-
consciously advancing one step far
ther, saw himself pacing mournfully
in the rear of the funeral procession.
1t is fact that his eyes were moist
with regret for MacManus's un-
timely demise.
HE had rounded the first curve,
and was full mile away from
the bridge, splashing hopelessly
along, an odd, dunpling-like figure
in his complete wet-weather gear.
Suddenly he almost fell over two
half naked coolies who were unac-
countably busy on the line itself.
As they sprang up, he glirnpsed
hole between the metals. 1t was
treason-murder-the laying of a
mine! With a hoarse scream he
turned to run; but instantly they

should be doubled in width. Mac
Manus, who had the job in hand,
took vow that it would be COM
pleted by the time the Governor
passed back along the line on return
from his tour. Now the thing was
done, and the Governor was due at
two o'clock the next day. He had
graciously consented to stop and
inspect the work, and a little wooden
station had been erected for his con
venience, and made gaudy with red
cloth and a multitude Of flags.
Then the monsoon broke-seven
full days ahead of time. Suddenly
and Unexpectedly the clouds opened
and let fall a solid sheet of water,
which in few hours turned the
parched earth into muddy swamp,
and the river into a yellow, raging
flood. Still, this was only the fore
runner of the real break, and the
weather might conceivably clear up
for a few hours now and again.
Then there would be fresh flags to
replace the drenched and sodden
ones, and perhaps flowers. and all
would be well again.
The rainfall was perceptibly
lighter toward evening when Mac
Manus came out of his stuffy little
office and walked over the bridge,
"a tall, lean man, with his hands
in his pockets, and his head bent to
let the water run comfortably off
the brim of his hat. His chief as
sistant, Chunder Sen, followed
short and bulky figure in an ample
macintosh, sheltered under a good
umbrella. He did not mind ventur-
ing into the rain in the least, no
more than MacManus did.
Except that it was bare Of paint,
the bridge was finished, and Mac
Manus could find no fault with it.
He tapped the sounding iron here
and there with his stick, through
sheer habit. passed over, and walked
back again, smiling a little, as if his
bridge was the only solid fact in the
universe, and as if there were no such
things as fevers and agues flying
about to seize upon the foolhardy.
