Spurred by irrational fear lest
Bellamy wake up, discover her
flight, and give chase, Lucinda made
in haste for Fifth avenue; a cab slid
up to the curb, its driver with two
fingers to his cap soliciting a fare
Lucinda breathed the first address
that came to mind-"Grand Central

fearfully away from the windows.
/ At the station a negro porter with

took possession Of her single piece
OF luggage. and when she had paid
off the taxi and looked to him in in
decision, prompted her with: "Whut
train was yo' wishiD' to TEX, nam? ?"
An instant later Lucinda was won
dering why she replied: ''The first
train for Chicago. please" She
knew no reason why she should have
named Chicago rather than any
other city where she was unknown
and where she might count on being
free to think things out in her own
time and fashion.

SLIGHT BLAZE.

An alarm of fire at 1880 Monday
morning called the department and a
sprinkling of autos to the extreme
eastern part of town, near the railroad
round house, where small building
belonging to the G. n. railway aud
used for storing sand, was in flames.
Water was taken from the hydrant
at the end of First avenue, and within
few minutes after a stream was
turned on the fire was under control.
The loss will hardly exceed 500. The
scene Of the fire is remote from tele-
phone communication and the fire
obtained good start before an alarm
was turned into the central telephone
office by both Mrs. Frank M. Dallam,
Jr., and Mrs. j. M. 7. Williams. The
fire caught from a stove in the build
ing used for the purpose of drying
sand.
