He stopped abruptly. 1t would never
do to let Cyrilla realize that he had
other views of their future than living
on in the Square. And if a little
CLEAN came into Cyrilla's eyes Freddy
did not notice it.
They were to be married in early
autumn. That summer Cyrilla behaved
in an unprecedented manner; she &C
copied an invitation from friend to
spend a week up-country.
Left to himself, Freddy pined in his
fathers law office. When his vacation
arrived he decided not to take one. He
was moping. Somehow Cyrilla's let
tiers seemed awfully cold. Did Cyrilla
love him we'll enough to become his
wife? That was the question he put to
himself.
mol" was the answer that his inner
consciousness Numbered out one af-
ternoon. mo! And am going to Of
fer her her freedom. And I am going
to break away!"
He told his father that he would
take his vacation after all. He went
to the Catskills and selected little
hotel there filed with shopgirls and
young men from the stores at eight
dollars week. And there he plunged,
with a sense of awful wickedness, into
a new life.
The region was simply dotted with
hotels In every forest glade one came
upon spooning couples. On every lake
rang out the voices of hilarious young
people. Freddy flung himself into it
all with zest. He made desperate love
to little girl who sold perfumery at
Stacey's, and had apparently abstract
ed a good deal of the stock to pour
over herself He spent the mornings
with her, the afternoons with ladies'
shoe department girl from Isaac and
Coppinway's, and the evenings he
strolled up and down with waitress
from Mild's, and discussed the relative
advantages of the breakfast cereals.
And he liked it. He was growing
more and more entranced with the
yulgarity Of it. He felt regular Don
Juan, and when the hotel gave the an
nual masked ball and the carrousel
was set up Freddy was the gayest OF
the gay.
He swung round giddily upon his
horse. side by side with shrieking
voung thing in black, whom he kept
on her unsteady seat - intervals by
the pressure of his Lind against thu
hack of her waist. Then masks were
donned, and a perfect whirl Of pleas
ure followed.

Genital at that sort of Catskill hotel.
Freddy spun in the giddy mazes OF
dance after dance. The Struggling

Big EXPLOSION
Of Gas In the New York Store Yester-
day Morning About II O'clock
Causes Small Fire and q Great
Amount Of Fright.

A gas explosion in the New York
Store yesterday morning about IL
o'clock caused a small fire and great
deal of excitement on the part of the
clerks and passersby.
Several days ago a gas stove was
placed in the store and the connec-
tons were found to be faulty. A
plumber was called yesterday morn
ing to fix the leak and he started down
in the cellar the gas which, had col
lected in the store ignited in some
manner and exploded. The force Of
the explosion was terrific. but, al
though the store was filled with Gus
toners and clerks, no one was in
jured. Merchandise was thrown from
the counters and several windows and
door glasses shattered by the force OF
the explosion. The glass in the front
doors was blown across the street.
One lady tainted from the shock.
Mr.. William Summons, the plumber,
was entirely unnjured. 1t is thought
that when he opened the door leading
to the cellar the draft blew the fire so
as to catch the gas.
The damage to the stock of goods in
the store and to the windows, etc,
will amount to about $500 according to
an estimate by Mr. Straus, the man
ager Of the store. A small fire occur

tensely and has had periods of un-
consciousness during the last few
days.
Physicians practically gave up
hope for his recovery when he fall
ed to rally after the operation. His
advanced age. IS. and the intense
pain which he suffered from the alb
scess on his thigh had so weakened
his general constitution that he was
not able TO withstand the strain Of
