Loss Estimated Between 00O and $45,OOO-Fre Started Early Tuesday Evening Probably From Dyeng Room-Fire Companies Sent From New London-Company Had Heavy Orders Hand Factory Building and Stockhouse Both Destroyed.

The factory of the Thames Dyeing and Bleaching company, situated on the Thames river, in the town of Wa terford, about one and one-half miles south of the Uncasville station, on the Central Vermont railroad, was totally destroyed by fire Tuesday night, and the loss is estimated at between $60,- 900 and $65.000. with insurance of $45,- 900. The origin of the fire is not known.
 The fire broke out shortly after 6.30 o'clock in the evening, and in 8 few minutes the flames had spread to all parts of the factory. Help was asked for from New London, and two auto companies, the Niagaras and the Northwests, were sent from New Lon- don at 7.15 o'clock. They were unable to render any effective assistance, as the water supply was poor, and the flames had gained such headway by the time they arrived that the plant

was doomed. Indications point to the drying room as the source of the fire.
 The factory building was two stories high and of brick and frame construc- tion. The plant had been in opera ton for four years past, and about a year ago the company doubled it's op- erating capacity by building a large addition. Lately the company had been working night and day on rush orders, and it was stated on authority last night that the concern had enough orders on hand to keep them rushing until January, 1916. They did no dye ing of any note at the plant. devoting their entire time to bleaching cotton goods. J. c. Geary of New London, who is one of the principal stockhold- CTS, stated Tuesday night that he did not know whether the company would rebuild immediately or not. The stock house, containing a large amount of cotton goods, was destroyed with the factory building. The company en- ployed about 50 hands.

CHAPTER XIV.
Mutiny OF Board.

At breakfast the next morning,
Harcourt watched Cornish and Adele
carefully. 1t had occurred to him that
Benson might repent and report their
conversation to his chief, but if the
two did know anything of the matter
they gave no signs of it. The thought
that the success of his plan might i'm
plicate Cornish when his action should
come to MacBee's attention, also dis
turbed Harcourt, and angry as he was
at being held prisoner, he appre-
ciated his abductors' motive, and
and wished no harm TO come to them.
When the meal was over he walked
on the deck with Adele for more than
an hour, trying hard TO conceal the
Impotence he felt. At last, however,
she left him, and shortly, to his in
tense satisfaction, Benson approached
and nodded pleasantly. They were
standing apart on the after deck, and
although striving to convey the i'm
preston that their conversation was
purely casual one, Benson signallcd
to Harcourt that he had something
important to say
One of the seamen passed and Har-
court commented upon the weather,
but as soon as he had gone, Benson
stepped closer, and pretending to
point out something OFF the port bow,
said 6" think what you wish may be
possible"
(To he continued)

Continued Chapter XII.

Naturally not" said MacBee.
"The heavy rainfall would have oblit-
Grated any wheel marks in short
time. You are right, though, beyond
a doubt. The bag was thrown from a
machine-an automobile on its way
to Southampton. The man who wore
these clothes discarded them deliber-
ately. They were not taken from him.
l do not think they belong to Lord
Harcourt, or at least that it was he
who wore them, but | do wish to find
the man who did wear them. / am be-
ginning to see things in a new light.

Murita, advise me as soon as you re-
ceive it."
Charlevoix county herald., 1915-05-22

ideas of right and wrong mighty
strongly developed in him, and he
wouldn't do a disloyal thing no mat
ter what you offered him."
"Then he will do what / WISH"
Harcourt said. "That is, his very
sense of honor will win him over. A
great wrong is being done to me and
to persons ashore. A crime has been
committed there and-well, l am con-
cerned in it. If do not return speed
lily, an innocent person may be made
to suffer for my absence"
Benson gave a little exclamation of
surprise, and stared sharply at Har-
court. He had been ashore the night
before the Murita sailed, and had
heard great deal of comment on the
mysterious crime that everyone was
interested in. "Why are you?" he
demanded suspiciously. Mot"
81 am the Earl of Harcourt."
Good Lordw Benson exclaimed.
Nov you understand my wish to
return-as man of honor, who gave
his word not to leave the country. In
fact, there may even be warrant
for my arrest"
what is Mr. Cornish's Objec. in
keeping you here against your will ~
"He has reasons of his own, OPP
posed to mine," said Harcourt. ut
is my wish to land and give myself
up to the police"
"You want to give yourself up!'
Benson repeated obviously. Say, you
are queer one"
my offer still stands" said Har-
court. Think it over carefully"
Benson stood there silently, look
ing out over the yachts side. He was
thinking, formulating plan in mis-
own mind-one that appealed to him
strongly. The ships bell Changed
sharply, interrupting his thought, and
he turned to Harcourt with start.
Il don't know" he said slowly.
"There's almost no chance, and Pa,
taking my life in my hands when do
it-but I'll see what can be done.
You'll have to take your chances
while you're on the yacht" Harcourt
told him. But once you are on shore
l can guarantee that your work will
cause no trouble"
Remember, Pm not promising any
thing" said Benson, but if there is
any chance of putting this over I'll
let you know. Don't question me.
when the time comes-if it does come
at ALL will let you know"
Thanks" said Harcourt. Good
night"
He threw his cigar into the sea and
went to his cabin, leaving Benson
alone with his temptation or the deck.
