A STORY THAT VARIES.
The Bride Who Got Into Chest and
 Was Found Dead There.

w as Oun0 beaQ HGTCs
 There is a story more or less difused of a young bride on her wedding day playing the game of hide and seek and concealing herself in one of those an cieilt carved chests of large size. After she had got in the lid closed, and she found herself una b1e to raise it again, for it fastened with a spring, and she in every quarter but the right one, and great perp1eXity and dismay were caus- ed by her disappearance. It was not till years after, when chance led to the opening of the chest, that the body of the young bride was discovered and the mystery. of her disappearance solved.
 The story is found in so many places that it may be questioned whether it is : true of any one of them. Rogers tells it of palace in Modena. The chest , in which the poor bride was found is shown at Bra1nshiil, in Hampshire, the ! residence of Sir John Cope. Another similar chest, with precisely the same story attached to it, was long shown at Marwell Old Hall, between Winchester and Bishops Waltham.
 The folk tale of Catsl1in or Peau d'Ane represents the girl flying with her bridal dresses from a marriage that is repugnant to her, and as this tale is found all over Europe it may have metamorphosed itself into that. of the bride who got into chest and died there.-Cornhill Magazine.

tor and DIR. Louis T. Cassidy respond
ed in five minutes and found the boy

They covered his abdomen and chest,
the left side Of his nee and face. and
both arms, while his hair was con-
siderably singed. His condition Sun
day night was so serious that there
Is a possibility that he will not re-
cover.
The cause of the accident as far
as his relatives could learn seemed to
be playing with matches. The boy
was playing in the street with another
small boy whose name was given as
Shanlzer. 1t happened a short time
before / o'clock A large part of the
