It was after eleven oclock when the last stitch was set in the hurried work, and the girls ran down the long, dark flights of stairs to plod home through a drizzling rain falling upon the remains of a late snow storm. As Bessie passed down the 'l' 6lie 8aw in the counting-house her recreant lover busy over some account books. But for the heavy-news she had heard that morning, she would have felt sure that this sudden spasm of industry was to furnish an excuse for escorting her home double TL& Queen of England.

She wa just stepping into licr carriage, and Mister Charles himself handing her in. She looks old, nearly fjrty, I should say, but they say she is iru meiiHoiy rich, and her dress was splendid. o 1 suppose her money goes against her age."

" No. 1 am tired !"' Bessie pleaded, and her friend left her, never heeding the sud den pallor of the sweet young face, the dumb agony in the great blue eyes. When she was alone Bessie stole away to the little room where the cloaks, shawls and hats of the girls were kept, and there, crouching in a corner, hidden entirely by a huge waterproof, she tried to think it all out. W iiat had it meant ? What did Charles Maxwell mean in c longyear he had tried ty every masculine device to win her love? She had not Ijccii unmaidenly; heart and 'conscience fully acquitted her. She had iv'n her love, pure, true and faithful, to the non of her employer; but he had sought it, deliberately and persistently, before he knew that it was given him. The young girl, now sewing, for a living, had been daintily bred and thoroughly edu cated, her father having been a man draw ing a salary sufficient to give his only child every advantage. But when he died and his wife in a few months followed hinv Bessie had chosen a life of hoaorable labor to one of idle dependence upon wealthy relatives. Yet in the social gatherings of the relatives, and the friends of summer days, Bessie was still a welcome guest, and it was at her uncle IiConard's brown-stone house that bIio had been introduced to Charles Maxwell. After this she met him frequently, and in her simple dress, with her sweet, pure face, had won marked at tention from him. With the frankness that was one of her greatest charms, the young fiirl had let her admirer know that though he -.ras Leonard Lawton's niece, she worked for a living in the dressmaking department of Maxwell Son. Then he had made her heart bound with sudden, grateful joy, by telling her that he had seen her bave the store night after happiest of men, bv assisting at a wedding. .

There are doubtless many farmers who have experienced sudden and destructive conflagrations in their hay lofts, which could not be ascribed to any exterior agency. Barns have been known to burst into flame, almost without warning, save perhaps a significant odor, for a few days previously, around the places where the hay was stored, and a summer's harvest is swept away in as many minutes as it has taken days to gath er it. These unexpected conflagrations are generally accredited to tramps who have I ... , u.. 1 nf. : 1 i... ar,,l I'll ur, e. mauc "lc ""J Ll WlClf SlWUillST LVSUIl, UUl ib is now asserieu iiiai sueu calamines are frequently due to the spontaneous combus tion of the hay, a circumstance theoretically quite possible, but rarely considered.

When she stood up, the pain of her ankle was almost unendurable, but she clung to the railings and so limped one block. The others seemed interminable : often she crawled through the wet- slush of the streets, often on one foot hopped painfully along, till the store was reached at last, and the light in the counting house still burned. The side door for the working girls was still unfastened, and Bessie entered there, reach ing the counting house, soaking wet, white and trembling, to confront both Charles Maxwell and his father. Unheeding their exclamations of dismay and surprise, she told her story with white lips, but a steady voice. 44 Waiting for me !" cried Charles Max well ; 44 the scoundrels!" 44 You bought diamonds at 's to-day?" asked his father. 44 A lKintre for Miss Potter, sir.

When the water is almost entirely evaporated, the de composition continues, and the hay be comes carbonized little by little ; and then the charred portion, like peat ; peat cinders mixed with charcoal, sulphurous pyrites and lignite, etc., becomes a kind of pyro phorus, by virtue of its great porosity and of the large quantity of matter exposed to high oxidation. Under the influence of air in largft amount, this charcoal becomes concentrated on the surface to such a de gree that the mass reaches a temperature which results in its bursting into flames. The preventives for this danger are care that the hay in the lofts is kept perfectly dry, that it is well packed, and that it is stored in small heaps rather than in large masses. Hallucinations.
