CHAPTER XXI.
Saved From the Flames.


When the lions shifted the acrid
smoke the two of them fell to roaring
thunderously. They reared and at
tempted to climb the ladder, only to
fall back jarringly. The ran up and
down the hall, struck with that inborn
terror Of fire. They dared not de-
scend In face OF that lurid smoke
which rose from that sparkling magic
which they had feared since the be-
ginning Of time.
Alas. Kathlyn could have descended
now without fear Of the beasts mo-
Testing her; but 1t was too late Finally
she threw down the trap and the
smoke cleared little, but the inferno
below went on cracking merrily.
The houses on each side were single
storied. She would break every bone
in her body If she jumped. There were
four cartridges in the revolver. She
held 1t in her hand and studied 1t In a
curiously detached manner. She could
face wild beasts, men. steel, and lead; +;
but fire, the most horrible of all tor
lures, Why hadn't she killed
him as he leered up at her from the
street?
Four cartridges, three for help and
one for herself II help came not She
raised her arm and fred three shots
with intervals between that might
suggest call for aid. Then she moved
to the farthest end of the parapet,
farthest from the smoke and the fire.
Suddenly the roof shook and quivered
as If an earthquake had disturbed the
foundations. She understood. The low
er staircase had toppled.
From the lions the denizens of this
part Of the bazaars had fed inside
their houses; but the sight of the fire
and its nearness drove them terrified
into the street. They began taking
out their valuables. The household
goats bleated, and children screamed
and women shrieked.
But none Of them could help the
white goddess upon yonder doomed
roof And why should they make the
attempt2 Did she not bear a charmed
life2 Was she not the reincarnatior
of some ancient goddess? She had
done something In heaven to offend
the gods, and these things were hel
punishments. The gods would liberate
her when the proper moment arrived
But fire! The gods themselves
could not control that; that was the
right hand Of silva. Al, al, al! The
wailing rose to the girl on the roof
Al, al! The bazaars were doomed
There was neither water nor men whit
knew how to use 1t. Besides, wht

MILK FAMINE NOW
Threatens The CITY

Wilmington Is threatened at the
present time with a milk famine.
Philadelphia retailers are coming to
this part of the country buying up
milk from the producers, paying FIVE
cents per quart wholesale and pay
ing the freight on the milk. This
coupled with the scarcity OF milk
this time Of the year, has reduced
the local supply. The producers have
been selling milk to the local retail
trade for 1-2, and 1-2 cents a
quart. Those who are paying five
cents and over are not having as
much trouble in getting the goods
as are those who have been paying
1-2 cents.

are unable to come to the library and

nothing can give so much enjoyment
as a new book in the hands of those

election for the position of senator. 1t

contest was so close that it required
the official count to prove which one
had been favored by the voters.
Mr.. Hennessy has already served
term in the Senate. Mr.. Christy Is
the present incumbent.
