The city department responded to the gen eral alarm and its big pumper was sent to the river side of the plant, preventing the flames from spreading to the wharf and confining them to the main buildings. There was but little wind and the firemen working on the shore side of the plant were able to save the company offices, stores, hotel and the residences, al though to accomplish this dynamite was used to blow up a portion of the burning structures. The loss is ' roughly estimated at about $1,000,000 on which some in surance was carried. As J. H.

Constantinople. One hundred thou sand Greek troops have evacuated Smyrna and a Turkish civil adminis tration has been established there. History is said never to have re corded so complete a disaster as the Greeks have met. It is asserted that Austria's defeat in the Caporetto dur ing the world war is as nothing com pared with the debacle of the Greeks. Paris. The Greek evacuation of Smyrna has been completed, says a dispatch to the Havas Agency from Athens. The dispatch adds that M. Theotokls, the Greek high commis sioner in Smyrna, is momentarily ex pected to arrive in Athens. Another dispatch to the Havas Agency from Athens dated Sunday says that M. Kalogeropoulos has aban doned the task of forming a new Greek cabinet and that King Constan tino has requested former Minister of the Interior Triantafillakos to assume the task. The Turkish Nationalists ending the two weeks' campaign have swept the Greeks out of Asia Minor, and the Kemalists, who entered Smyrna, took prisoners the remnants of the Greek forces remaining behind to cover the wild flight of the Greek army that a month ago held securely a large part of western Asia Minor and talked of marching through Thrace into Con stantinople. The Turks ran a race with the dip lomats, their leaders say, and won the race, for Turkish arms settled in few days and settled finally, according to Angora advices, the problem of how Asia Minor Is to be divided, a problem with which diplomacy has been strug gling for three years. Smyrna, which has been in a state of chaos' for three days since the Greek high commissioner took to warship in fear ot his life, is now a hotbed ot typhus and plague and is crowded with thousands ot refugees without food.

It's Mr. Easterbrook. He's old much as forty and bald headed and fat, and has got lots of money. And he's a very estimable man. (I heard Aunt Hattie say that.) He's awfully jolly, and I like him. He brings me the loveliest boxes of candy, and calls me Puss. (I don't like that, particularly. I'd prefer him to call me Miss Anderson.) He's not nearly so good-looking as the violinist. The violinist is lots more thrilling, but I shouldn't wonder If Mr. Easterbrook as more comfortable to live with. The violinist Is the kind of a man that makes you want to sit up and take notice, and have your hair and finger nails and shoes just right; but with Mr. Easterbrook you wouldn't mind a bit sitting In a big chair be fore the fii with a pair of old slippers on, If your feet were tired. Mr Easterbrook doesn't care for music. He's a broker. He looks aw fully bored when the violinist is play ing, and he fidgets with his watch chain, and clears his throat very loud ly just before he speaks every time. His automobile Is bigger and hand somer than the violinist's. (Aunt Hat tie says the violinist's automobile Is a hired one.) And Mr. Easterbrook's flowers that he sends to Mother are handsomer, too, and lots more of them, than the violinist's. Aunt Hattie has noticed that, too. In fact, I guess there isn't anything about Mr. Easterbrook that she doesn't notice. Aunt Hattie likes Mr. Easterbrook lots better than she does the violinist. I heard her talking to Mother one day, ONE WEEK LATER There hasn't much happened only one or two things. But maybe I'd bet ter tell them before I forget It, espe cially as they have a good deal to do with the love part of the story. And I'm always so glad to get anything of that kind. I've been so afraid this wouldn't be much of a love story, after all. But I guess It will be, all right. Anyhow, I know Mother's part will be. for it's getting more and more excit ing nbout Mr. Easterbrook and the violinist, I mean. They both want Mother. Anybody can see that now, and, of course, Moth er sees it. But which she'll take don't know. Nobody knows. It's per fectly plain to be seen, though, which one Grandfather and Aunt Hattie want her to takel It's Mr. Easterbrook, And he is awfully nice. He brought me a perfectly beautiful bracelet the other day but Mother wouldn't let me keep It. So he had to take It back, I don't think he liked It very well, and didn't like It, either. I wanted that bracelet. But Mother says I'm much too young to wear much Jewelry. Oh will the time ever come when I'll be old enough to take my proper place In the world? Sometimes It seems as If It never would 1 Well, as I said, It's plain to be seen who It is that Grandfather and Aunt Hattie favor ; but I'm not so sure about Mother. Mother acts funny. Some times she won't go with either of them anywhere; then she seems to want to go all the time. And she acts as if she didn't care which she went with so long as she was just going some where. I think, though, she really likes the violinist the best; add I guess Grandfather and Aunt Hattie think so, too. Something happened last night, Grandfather began to tdlk at the din ner table. He'd heard something he didn't like about the violinist, I guess, and he started in to tell Mother. But they stopped him. Mother and Aunt Hattie looked at him and then at me. and then back to him, in their most see-who's-here 1 you mustn't-tnlk-be-fore-her way. So he shrugged his shoulders and stopped. But I guess he told them In the 11 brary afterwards, for I heard them all talking very excitedly, and some loud and I guess Mother didn't like what they snld, and got quite angry, for heard her say, when she came out through the door, that she didn't be lieve a word of it, and she thought It was a wicked, cruel shame to tell stories like that just because they didn't like a man. ONE WEEK LATER Well, I guess now something has happened all right 1 And let me say right away that I don't like that violin ist now, either, any better than Grand father and Aunt Hattie. And It's not entirely because of what happened last night, either. It's been coming on for a while ever since I first saw him talking to Theresa In the hall when she let him in one night a week ago, Theresa is awfully pretty, and 1 guess he think so. Anyhow, I heard him telling her so In the hall, and she laughed and blushed and looked side ways at him. Then they saw me, and he stiffened up and said, very proper and dignified, "Kindly hand my card to Mrs. Anderson." And Theresa said, "Yes, sir." And the wa very proper and dignified, too. Well, four days ago I saw them again, lit tried to put hi arm around her that time, and th very next day By. ELEANOR. H. PORTER he tried to kiss her, and after a m)n- j ute she let him. More than once, too. And last night I heard him tell her she was the dearest girl In all the world, and he'd be perfectly happy if he could only marry her. Well, you can Imagine how I felt, hen I thought all the time It was Mother he was coming to seel And now to find out that It was Theresa he anted all the time, and he was only coming to see Mother so he could see Theresa I Of course, so far, I'm the only one that knows, for I haven't told it, and I'm the only one that's seen anything. Of course, I shall warn Mother, If I think it's necessary, so she'll under stand It Isn't her, but Theresa, that the violinist is really In love with and court ing. She won't mind, I'm sure, afteshe thinks of it a minute. And won't it be good joke on Aunt Hattie and Grand father when they find out they've been fooled all the time, supposing It's Mother, and worrying about it? Oh, I don't know! This Is some love story, after all I TWO DAYS LATER What do you suppose has happened now? Why, that wretched violinist Is nothing but a deep-dyed villain! Lis ten what he did. He proposed to Mother actually proposed to her and after all he'd said to that Theresa girl, about his being perfectly happy If he could marry her. And Mother Moth er all the time not knowing ! Oh, I'm so glad I was there to rescue her I I don't mean at the proposal I didn't hear that. But afterwurd. It was like this : They had been, out autoraoblllng Mother and the violinist. I was In my favorite window-seat, reading, when they came home and walked Into the library. They never looked my way at all, but just walked toward the fire place. And there he took hold of both her hands and said: Why must you wait, darling? Why can't you give me my answer now, and make me the happiest man In all the world?" Yes, yes, I know," answered Moth er ; and I knew by her voice that she was nil shaky and trembly. "But if could only be sure sure of myself." "But, dearest, you're sure of me!" cried the violinist. "You know how I "Why Must You Wait, Darling?" love you. You know you're the only woman I have ever loved, or ever could love 1" Yes, just like that he said it that awful lie and- to my mother. My stars! Do you suppose I waited to hear any more? I guess not! I fairly tumbled off my scat, and my book dropped with a bang, as I ran forward. Dear, dear, but how they did Jump both of them 1 And I guess they were surprised. I never thought how't was going to affect them my breaking In like that But I didn't wait not a minute. I Just started right in and began to talk. And 1 talked hard and fast, and lots of It -I don't know now what I said, but I know I asked him what he meant by saying such an awful lie to my mother. when he'd Just said the same thing, exactly 'most, to Theresa, and he' hugged her and kissed her, and every thing. I'd seen him. And But I didn't get a chance to say halt I wanted to. I was going on to tell him what I thought of him ; but Moth er gasped out, "Marie! Marie! Stop!' And then I stopped. I had to, of coarse. Then she said that would do, and I might go to my room. And I went. And that's all I knew about it, except that she came up. after a little, and said for me not to talk any more about It, to her, or to any one else and to please try to forget It. I tried to tell her whnt Id seen, and what I'd heard that wicked, deep- dyed villain say; but she wouldn't let me. She shook her head, and said, "Hush, hush, dear"; and that no good could come cf tulklng of It, and she anted me to forget It. She was very , sweet and very gentle, and she smiled ; but there were stern corners to her mouth, even when the smile was there. And I guess she told him what was hat. Anyhow, I know they had quite talk before she came up to me, for was watching at the window for hlra to go; and whim he did go he looked very red and cross and he stalked away with a never-wui-i-aai'Ken-tnis- door-agaln kind of step just as far as I could see him. ' I don't know, of course, what will happen next, nor whether he'll ever come back for Theresa ; but I shouldn't think even she would want him, after this, If she found out. And now, where's my love story com- ' lng In, I should like to know? TWO DAYS AFTER CHRISTMAS Another wonderful thing has hap pened. I've had a letter from Father from Father! a letter me! It came this morning.. Mother brought It In to me. She looked queer a little. There were two red spots in her cheeks, and her eyes were very bright. "I think you have a letter here from your father," she said, handing It out. I could see she was wondering what ' could be In It, But I guess she wasn't wondering any more than I was, only was gladder to get It than she was, suppose. Anyhow, when she saw how glad I was, and how I jumped for the letter, she drew back, and looked somehow as if she'd been hurt, and said : I did not know, Marie, that a letter from your father would mean so much to you." I don't know what I did say to that, guess I didn't say anything. I'd al ready begun to read the letter, and I was In such a hurry to find out what he'd said. I'll copy It here. . It wasn't long. It was like this: , "My Dear Mary; 'Some way Christmas has made me think of you. I wish I had sent you some gift. Yet I have not the slightest Idea what would pleuse you. To tell the truth, I tried to find something but had to give It up. I am wondering if you had a good time, and what you did. After all, I'm . pretty sure you did have a good time, for you are Marie now. You see, I have not forgotten how tired you got of being Mary. Well, well, I do not know as I can blame you. "And now that I have asked what you did for Christmas, I suspect It Is no more than a fulr turnabout to tell you what I did. I suppose I had a very good time. Your Aunt Jane says I did. I heard her telling one of the neighbors that lust night. She had a very fine dinner, and she invited Mrs. Darling and Miss Snow and Miss San born to eat It with us. She said she didn't want me to feel lonesome. But you Can feel real lonesome In a crowd sometimes. Did you know that, Mary? But I left them to their chatter aft er dinner and went out to the observa tory. I think I must have fallen asleep on the couch there, for It was quite dark when I awoke. But I didn't mind that, for there -were some observations I wanted to take. It was a beautifully clear night, so I stnyed there till near ly morning. 'How about it? I suppose Marie plays the piano every day, now, doesn't she? The pluno here hasn't been touched since you , went away." Oh, yes, It was touched once. Your aunt played hymns on It for a missionary meeting. "Well, what did you do Christmas? Suppose you write and tell "Your Father." I'd been reading the letter out loud, and when I got through Mother was pacing up and down the room. For a minute she didn't say anything; then she whirled 'round suddenly and faced me, and said, just as If something In side ot her was making her say It: I notice there Is no mention of your mother In that letter, Marie. I suppose your father has quite forgot ten that there Is such a person in the world as I." But I told her no, oh, no, and that I was sure he remembered her, for he used to tsk me questions often nbout whnt she did, and the violinist and all. "The violinist !" cried Mother, whirl ing around on me again. (She'd be gun to walk up and down once more.) "You don't mean to say you ever told your futher about him !" "Oh, no, not everything," I explained, trying to show how patient I was, so she would be patient, too. (But it didn't work.) "I couldn't tell him everything because everything hadn't happened then. But I told nbout hi being here, and about the others, too; but, of course, I snld I didn't know which you'd take, and" "You told him you didn't know whlcb I'd take!" gasped Mother. (TO BE CONTINUED.) After Election. The candidate ahnkes yoa by th hand." "And then he shakes you." Loul vllle Courier-Journal. Don't try to and all the faults. Lear some for the other fault-finder.
