It was Sunday, and I was walking home from church with Rose Arthur, and we were . engaged. I had known her only a few months, but I think if she had said no, instead of yes, I should have died of it. We had done our duty; we had been to church, and now I had coaxed her to go with me into the woods. and we sat down on a hollow log beside a great - patch . of violets that were in bloom there, and I told her how l loved her, over and over again, and how, I could not understand what there was in a big, rough fellow like met that a pretty creature like her could care for, but that I would do my very best ;to make her happy all her life; and she promised to marry me in autumn. You see I wasn't a pretty man. I was, to make the statement short and true, as ugly as beetling black brows and great fists like sledge-hammers and a thick nose and a square jaw could make a young fellow, and girls did not generally care for me. And yet I was always kind to a woman, Youne or old ; couldn't bear to see one imposed upon ,and would have done any thing I could for the ugliest of them. My work.; butjwheu- I saw ; Rose, though I mentioned Richard Varden, she did not say anything of tha walk. ' ; , - " ? And so it. came into my mind, being of, a wicked, brooding nature, to watch my Rosebud, as I had called her ; and as J. listeners, never heat any good- of them selves, so spies always discover some evil, or think they do. It was not long afterward that I saw Mr. Richard walk up to the lunch-basket Rose carried. "to the factory, add slip something into it folded in paper; and afterward, when Rose opened: the basket, I sawjwhat it was- a letter. She laughed softly . to herself, wrapped it up again, and slipped it un der the silk, aakerchief she wore about her neck. - "After that, "I had -no -more happiness, no more peace. ;l was always trying to lead Rose on to lietray herself, bnt she never seemed to dream 1 sus pected . anything. 1 She told me a good deal about the Lawrences, and how they quarreled, years before, with the varden. about a - little slip of dump-land by itP - river,' and how bitter grandfather "Lav rence was over it, and now toousn tne youag people thought it. One day I said r Yoi are well informed on these fam-j ily affairs of the Yardens, it seems to. me. And she answered : "Oh, yes, Miss Lawrence tells me a great deal.'' "Perhaps it is Richard Varden," I said. She only laughed, as if that were a great joke. And so the Fourth of July came, and we had a holiday. That day I wakened in a good mood. I said to myself: "Rose can't be deceiving me. She's not that sort. I'll throw all my suspicions to the winds. He may be in love with her ; but she will never encour age him. She loves me; and if I ask her up and down, shell tell me all about it." And so I went to her early, and Not good aim though The bullet missed its mark and struck the swinging lamp.

Ill bring him out alive or die with him. Good-by, dearest. If I never see you again, remember I loved you. I'm a wicked wretch, but I loved you." ! ' I put her from me while she screamed for me to stay, and then I dashed into the burning place. Afterward they said it was a miracle. Perhaps it was.

And so the time sped by, and Fourth of July came close at hand, and , we were very busy at the factory, and a nephew of Mr. Varden (it was Varden's factory we wereworking at) came down to help. He was very handsome and all the girls admired him, and ven Annie said to me half a times: ". "Ohl isn't he lovely, John?" "Can't tell you," she said, laughing. I "After to-morrow you'll know. "After to-morrow?" I -repeated, "What if I say you must tell me now!" "I should say I wouldn't," sha an swered. "Very well." said I; 'Til go alone." I turned from her without a kiss for the first time since our engagement, and 1 went away and hid myself where I could watch her. Soon I saw a curious thing. Some one carried a trunk to the door of the house she boarded at, and I saw her speak to the man about it. Then I watched her window from an upper room of the factory. She waa packing the trunk. Then again I saw Mr. Richard call a boy to him and give him a note, and I saw him give it into Annie's hand. After that she let the curtain down, and I could see' no more. Mr. Richard kept about the place all day, and the July evening was long and bright. I watched him constantly. He was arranging papers, seemingly fixing matters as though he were going awayi He thought nothing of seeing me about; at least he said nothing. At last he sat down to his desk and wrote a letter, which he set upon a rack, and then his work being over, he seemed to get ready to go away. When he was gone I. went to the desk. The letter was addressed to old Mr. Law rence. The edges of the envelope were not dry. I acted like' a . madman,' I dozen 1 know when I opened it; but I did it, and this was what.i reaa : ' , ; .

As for me, I knew nothing for a week, and I bad some ugly scars about mc, that did not improve my looks; but Rose seemed to love me more for t.hfim. and Mr. Richard had his fair girl's beauty quite unaltered. They called me a hero, but it was only while I was too weak to speak' that I permitted it. One day I made con fession. I called Rose to my bedside, and I called him. . 1 told them all, and they forgave me; yes, they both forgave me. I think they were angels. had been hurt but me. and there was only some loss of money. "Jealousy is inssnity," Mr. Richard said, "and I owe my lifeto jou.

If a visitor enters the quarters of an engine company, say during the night, he will see to his right, and close to the door which he passes through, a desk, generally surrounded by a railing. At this desk the fireman "on watch" sits, wakeful and alert, for the signal which may at any moment come whirring over the wires. In front of him lies the blotter on which are re corded all alarms and other memoranda incidental to the routine work of the day or night. On the wall, to the right, are the gongs on which the alarms are sounded, one large one and one small one, a Morse tel egraphic instrument, a telephone, the weights and chains, which, by a clever arrangement, drop when an alarm is sounded and release the horses. Last, but not laast, is a small clock placed near the large gong. This is connected with the alarm by a small copper wire, attached to the one end of which is an iron weight. The striking of the hammer on the gong dislodges the weight and its fall causes the wire to pull a piece of wood against the pendulum of the clock, thus stopping it at the precise time of the sounding of an alarm. Directly in front of the visitor stands the engine, as resplendent as muscle and paint can make it. Behind it is the hose cart or tender. In the majority of engine quarters stalls for the horses are on both sides of the floor within a few feet of the 1 shafts of their respective apparatuses. The harness is hung to the ceiling by a system of pulleys which permit of the dropping of the whole by the simple loosening of a cord fixed to the wall near the alarms. Above the apparatus floor the men sleep on snowy white beds. Brightly polished brass rods ; connect the apparatus floor with the men's quarters, and down these the men slide when an alarm has called them out of bed. . ; The most mysterious thing to the .ordinary citizen is the reading of the . missioners a couple of years ago is insKV t tnined for four months each vearl "Eachi--'2rri-;': '-.
