Roger Parrel, walking through the for est and drawn by the hand of fate, stop ped several times, aa though to turn back, but on each aeparate occasion he found himself impelled forward. "At least I will not enter when I reach there. Let me look upon the old mill once again, aud perhaps this mad fancy on my part will be satisfied. What it is I know not, but I cannot resist it." He finished his words with a startled cry, for his eyes had suddenly caught a glow of light through the forest trees. "It cannot be the moon rising, for, un less I have lost my bearings, I am head ing toward the west It is the old mill on fire! What if she should be lostr He started on a wild run, leaping over holes and logs as though they were almost nothing, and rapidly nearing the blasting mill, which with every passiug minute seemed to become more and more the. vic tim of the flames. Now he seemed to understand the sub tle power that had drawn him on, and in his heart he prayed, oh, so earnestly, that he might yet be in time to save his darling. All thoughts of bitterness toward her had been swept from his heart as if by magic. He had the proofs of his inno cence, but his words about throwing her love from him were forgotten. On he dashed. It seemed as though he would never get there, and the old mill was now a perfect pyramid of flames, roaring and leaping upward as though in fiendish glee over the destruction of the haunted building. The woods were now lighted up, anil he could see his way better, so that he made better time, but his heart was full of a terrible fear lest he should arrive too late. Finally, like a mad deer, he sprang . from among the trees and rushed into the open space. A terrible scene, full of awful grandeur, was before him, but he heeded not its sublime splendor. The one thought before his mind was the harrowing uncertainty in regard to Carol, Was she safe? What if she were in that abyss of flame? Almost mad at the bare thought, he rushed frantically forward. A scream reached his ear the scream of woman and for the first time he noticed a fe male figure close to the burning mill. The glare and smoke kept him from recog nizing her, and, with his heart leaping for joy, he bounded toward the woman, who was wringing her hands wildly. When he reached her aide he saw that it was Mrs. KU'hmond, not Carol, Several other forms had darted from the woods, and were hurrying toward the pot where the lady stood. The leading one he recognized as Lawrence Rich mond, but beyond that he did not spare the time to look. "Carol wiiera is a lie V be cried. There wu not a second to Jose. The poor lady could not apeak, but, raising her hand, she pointed to the blazing build ing. It was enough. "Heaven help me!" fell from his shut teeth. Then, bracing himself like a giant pre paring for a mighty battle, he rushed for ward, hurling himself through the bar rier of fierce flames that crossed tb;ir angry tongues before the doorway. He found the stairs more from intin:t than sight, as the place was full of smoke. Up he went with great leaps. At the top he could see nothing, but, groping his way along, he cried aloud: ' "Carol, oh, Carol, my darling, where are you?' Oh, the bitterness in his voice. It poke of heart-breaking, racking pain, but ' there came no answer save the roaring and crackling of the flames as they fed upon the dry timbers of the old mill. He groped his way along a passage nn- til he came to a door. It refused to rive way at his touch, and, rendered desperate by the situation, he raised his foot r.nd sent it down with a crash. Entering, he found the interior full of accompanied with rapid blows, but he knew not what to make of them, not be ing aware of the fact that two mortal onls were locked in a room near by, aud almost suffocated by the smoke and tire. The hand of heaven must have directed the heroic young mau, for he reached the foot of the burning stairs in safety. Then, nerving himself for the final act in the drama, he rushed through the bar rier of flame and out into the clear air. Loud cries greeted him as he staggered forward and placed his burden In the arms of Lawrence Richmond, blackened in face, and his garmeuta burniug lu a score of places. He heard a terrible roaring noise, as though the old mill had fallen In, aud then he knew no more. and delightc". to hear Nora tell of what a noble man Roger larrel was. Nora knew Lawrence Richmond of old, for they had met before. She "was the daughter of a wealthy Virginian, aod no poor obscure girl. He had imagined that he bad done him harm, but It all turned out that she had once, in her womanly indignation, upbraided him for his con duct toward his wife, the story of which she had heard. Nora married Jack Avenal, whose Bis ter had been one of the dead in mi's vic tims, which accounted for Jack' hatred. ana mey nave always oecu a nsiu-y dm- Perfect Has: Moos. le.

Five minutes from the time that Roger dashed from the burning building, blind with smoke and burning wherever the flames had licked his flesh, the whole mill was tottering and threatening to fall. It had yielded it-self so completely to the demon fire that it burned like tinder. Just at this time a man staggered from the door, threw up his arms as a falling burning rafter struck him, and dropped like a rock. No one dared go to his as sistance, for the whole mill was about to topple over in that very direction, Those who were looking, however, saw a second figure emerge from the building. He stumbled over the Captain, stooped. and, raising the fallen man. bore him to a place of safety just as, with a mighty roar, the burning structure gave way. sending a myriad of sparks skyward as it crushed in like an eggshell. Roger was not seriously hurt. True, he" bore upon his arms burns that would never be wholly lost, but they would be sacred scars, for they were received while he had in his arms the girl he loved When he recovered his senses he found Carol bending over him, supreme love written on every lineament of her iweet face. Her soft lips pressed kisses ui-on his wounded arms. Between those two no clouds could ever come again; they had been baptized in fire, and the bond was cemented forever. His face and hair had escaped because he had been wise enough to cover them with a wet cloth, all but the eyes, and he had ducked his head when passing through the flames. Presently he waa able to arise, end then he found a group near by, bending over a form upon the ground, it was the Captain. A strange fate had brought together all those whom he had wronged to see the arch schemer die. Above him stood the Russian detective, scarred a little from contact with the flames, and yet still worth a dozen dead men, Lawren?

The two men, locked in the room and with the fire roaring round them, ren dered desperate by their situation, had hurled themselves against the door, but the effort was useless, and they would undoubtedly have been burned alive but that the detective chanced to remember an ax that was lying in a small closet.

One of the large square cases In the natural history room of the museum of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences contains a giant crab. Just mounted, the gift of Eutfcue (J. Black ford, and one of a number of Interest ing specimens of marine animals from the Japanese coast which he has re cently presented to the museum, says the New York Tribune. They are from the collection made by Prof. Bashford Dean, of Columbia, in l'.K)l. The crub spreads eleven anil one-half feet, and Is of a delicate old-rose tint on the top of the carapace, the lepa toning to a pale brownish-castor shade on the un der side. The two front legs have the usual claws, but the others end In nar row brown hoofs, not toed. The eyes on their branches with feelers beyond are a more noticeable feature than In other crabs. Its mounting took about a month, as It required gentle handling, because, coming from the deep sea, Its coating Is more delicate than that of an animal from shallow water. Its home Is at a depth of from GOO to 4,200 feet. Ita size varies from nine to twelve feet, and not more than a dozen are taken In a year. The manner of the capture Is Interesting In that It illustrates a method of Japnnese fishing. At night fishermen sink lines several miles In length, arranged with many hundreds of hooks, to the bottom of the sea. When hauled In at early morning giant crabs, sea lilies, sponges and many oth er wonderful forms are found attached. While naturalists and philosophers of (tie went were disputing aa to whether or not life could exist In the cold depths of the ocean the Japanese were en gaged In getting life from there. This was not In the Interest of science, but to provide for the market, as the Jap anese consume almost every kind of sea product.
