The intense beat quickly: buckled and wrecked the steel framework. The bridge was the only means of trolley communication between Springfield, West Springfield, West field, and Holyoke, while an old covered wooden bridge, scarcely safe; is all that is left tor auto and horse or foot traffic. The fire severed a gas main, trunk line tele phone, cable, a large water main, and several trunk line telegraph cables. The town of West Spring- field,; dependent on Springfield for lighting current, was shrouded In darkness. It Is estimated the total loss will anproach a million dollars. 5.69; Georgia, 5.12; South Caro lina, 4.77; Alabama,' 4.36; Missis sippi, 4.03.

No need to ask if Grace. Draper remembered. She could control her face and her voice, but there was an expression in her eyes aa she glanced quickly at Dicky and then as quickly away again, that told me she ' had forgotten no slightest .incident, . of ; their ac quaitance. " '; ''' ; : -Hello, Grace! " Was it ' my fancy, T or did Dicky . carefully avoid anything but the most cas ual glances. "How was the trip warm?" T T' v; 7-. a -"No, thank you,rvery pleasant," she responded In as carefully in different a tone, taking my out- stretcjfed hand In a firm grasp. An Odd Experience "Thank you '. for letting me come, Madge," she said simply. and. if I ever heard gratitude and sorrowful remorse for, the past In any human" being's voice I heard It" in her's " fl" 1 "had wished I could not have, helped giving her an answer , in keeping .with, her greeting, . , "I am glad to have you," I re turned. "Come this way. , The car Is right over here' . I drove rapidly to the inn of which Dicky had spoken, with her by my side and. Dicky with the luggage in the , tohneau.

I think the, exclamation burst simultaneously.-, from ,both Grace Draper and mypelf, as I turned a sharp corner under Dicky V-direc-tions and drew up in front of a rustle archway twined with climb ing rose, bushes .catered with buds.-- ; .. " -f-7 ; "I thought ft would hit you between the eyes, Madge. Dicky said complacently, and for a long minute we feasted our eyes npoa the low, 1 rambling inn, set in a grove of wonderful old trees. : "How one can rest here!" Grace Draper sighed, t . s Madge's Question "That's right," Dicky said eag erly. "Yon must get a good long rest and pick up a bit before you begin work" -yOr -'.v;-,;;.H.--.v . He -x was plainly embarrassed, and I think Grace Draper's sharp ened wits caught the truth then from his manner. VI suppose I'm too thin, and and changed," she said with a gallan attempt at a smile.

And I can't possibly begin work for over a. week jret; Then we'll talk things over." .J j "Very well." The words were quiet enough, but there was !a world ' of disappointed mortifica tion la her roice. . I knew ; she must have realized; perhaps, for the first time, that not only her exquisite beauty but her power over Dicky was gone, and . the knowledge must hate been misery itself to. her. r Her voice haunted me as we drove away, and I knew it troubled Dicky also, AlthogV his reaction ,to it took .the form of irritated criticism. , ; 'Why. she's positively hag gard! he exploded," as .we drove away.! ;She won't do "at all.
