The Means-and the End,

Halsey turned toward Virginia.
They did not again embrace, but stood
silent, almost apathetic now Passion

never fully seized them. The desp pair
in human love was theirs; and love
is half despair. She might have been

who faced her, his anger gone, he him

hopelessness. Central figures of an ir.
reparable ruin, and seeing no avenue
to happiness, for the time neither had
word for the other.
At last Halsey raised his head, as
some sound caught his ear. What's
that?" he said.
Il heard it," said she. II think it's
some one coming up the walk
Yes" he answered. Listen! Why,
it sounds like a crowd. What can that
mean, now? Waltz"
He left her and fastened out to the
front door. He stood there, outlined
fully by the hall lights behind him.
Those who approached recognized him.
He was greeted by a derisive shout.

quality. The solitary servant rushed
up, excited. What is it, Mr.. Halsey p
he quavered. "Is there going to be
any trouble? Oh, ought to have
gone away with the others!"
Get out Of the way" replied Hal
sey calmly. Get back behind the
door. I'll go out and meet them"
Here. you men!" he called out in
sudden anger to the visitors. What
do you mean, coming here this way?"
He was advancing toward them now.

will help me pull it together. won't

at last. He put down Virginias arms
from his shoulders; for once more she

Rawn sighed. Il suppose l must

He turned and walked away, heavy,
stumbling.

Sunday Nights Fire

Last Sunday night, between
eleven and twelve O'Clock, J. l..
Kelly, of Biggs Point, had
the misfortune to loose
his home and most of his house
hold goods by fire, The fire was
not discovered until the roof of
the kitchenhad fallen in and the
angry flames laping into the hall.
Mr.. Kelly was arousd about this
time by the falling of the burn
ing roof and woke up the rest
of the family for them to Just
escape being caught by the
flames and badly burned. He
managed to save some of the
furniture in the front room. The
origin of the fire is thought to
have been caused by the
rats, that in some way ignited
matches they packed to their
nest. There was some insurance
carried by Mr. Kelly but not
enough to cover his loss. We
regret &c earn of his loss and
sympathize with him in his mis-,
fortune.
