Wlicn Grace turned the confer Into a
much used street, she was appalled, and
for an Instant turne'd back. ' It was
filled with a crowd bT people hurrying
By, with fear, horror and other strange
passions In their faces. Some were
loaded with household goods or treas
ures they hoped to save, others carrying
screaming babies; or dragging children
too ftlghtened to run, andlipw and then
hto'or thrce"hold!ng between' tliem one
too 111 to stand; It was a terrlblo sight,
a whole city flying for life, and a girl
alone, however" brave, might well be
alarmed.
It was only for a moment, however.
Grace thought of her father, and
plunged into the street. The office was
hot -more than half a mile, and her feet
fairly flew, although everybody else was
going tho other way, and she hal to
dodge between people and horses and
loads of all sorts.
It was well she had not far to go, for
the roof was just bursting Into flame as
she'opened the door with her father's
keys. His desk easily yielded to the
peculiar key she knew so well, and
among letters and papers laid a package
she Instinctively knew was the precious
one, so carefully tied and scaled, so out
of place It looked there.
Grace seized It, and started out. care
fully locking the desk and putting the
keys In her pocket, when the thought
arose, "Where could she hide the pact
aje?"
You bovs would sav. In the Inner
breast pocket of tho vest, But thero
was no vest, at any rate Grace hal
none, and- inner pockets were an uiv
knowh mystery to her. She. thought an
Instant, then quietly slipped It down the
back of her neck Inside the clothes.
The waistband was tight for her, and
she felt sure It was safe, and hastily ran
"Into the street
e,Th!ngi had changed greatly even In
,tfiese few minutes. The tall blocks on
I toth sides ot the street were on flro, a
big building althe coiner had fallen and
cut off her return that way, while the
air was full of smoke and cludcrs and
heat that nearly suffocated her. Instead
of the crowd she had seen, it was tie
sertcd, every one had fled for his life,
Smothered, blinded, filghtencd, Grace
turned to run alas! away from home,
It was tho only way she could go. At
tho first corner, she found herself no
longer alone but one small atom of
moving mass of people. To turn the
other way would have been like trying
to stem a furious rushing river, and he
sides, that way was thick smoke and
lire. She was carried with the crowd,
bewildered, lost, but even In that awful
moment filled with joy that she had her
father's papers.
The fire marched on with rapid strides,
driving before it the multitude of home
less wanderers, among them our poor
Grace, To the Lake shore they went,
and as the hot breath of the flames fol
lowed them even into the water far out
as they could stand, till the water came
up to their necks. Even there many
were suffocated, and quietly dropped In
to tho water and were not missed,
Grace went as far as she could,and keep
her head above water. She thought
with a pang that the papers would be
wet, but they were well tleJ, and any
way they would not bo burned. So she
tried to take comfort, though an awful
fear had come upon her that she should
never see her parents again.
Then, too, sho remembered that no
one knew she had gone, nor whereto
look for hcr.and though sho had thought
only of being brave, she found sho had
been foolish. "Hut the papers are. safe,
and papa will be glad," was the thought
that always came to comfort her des
pair. At last, after hours of agony and ter
ror and distress, with groans and cries
and prayers In strange confusion, such
as no one can Imagine who did not pass
through it. when many thought the
world was burning up, and all had little
hope of getting out allvcthe flro burned
Itself out In that that part of the city
and swept ou to the north.
It was late In the afternoon befoie the
wear)-, hungry, fainting fugitives ven
tured to crawl out of the lake, wring

wagons piled high with furniture crashed
ruthlessly Into carriages of people; fur

wcrcdisabled and abandoned ; frightened
horses let loose to trample at their
pleasure! ' people with loads thrown
down; fecblo women pressed to the
wall, All the worst of human passions
were let loose.and men became fiends In
tho mad struggle for safety and life.
As Grace' reached this place, almost
crushed lu tlic crowd, a strong 'man be
hind her spoke kindly.
"My poor lad," he said, "you'll bo
killed in that Jam; hold on to mo." and
with great difficulty he raised her above
tho crowd and stood her on the narrow
rail next to the water.
"Now hold on to me," he said, snd
went on "fighting his own way, while
Grace, nearly dead with terror, and ex
pecting every moment to fall Into the.
water, held wildly to his neck. Once
or twlco she slipped, but his strong arm
caught her, and at last, after hours, as
It seemed to her, they reached the other
side, and ho lifted her clown
"My hoy," he said kindly, "you look
delicate to ho alone In this mad crowd;
won't you come with me?"
Oh. how Grace longed to do so, but
fear restrained her. no thcujht she
was a hoy, and she could not explain,
because It my endanger the precious
package,
"Oh, no!" she said hastily, "I must
find papa, but I thank you more than I
can say forhclpingme over that bridge,"
shuddering as she speke.
"Yes, little man," said her friend,
"you'd hardly have come over alive if I
hadn't seen you."
"Papa'll thank yon too," began
Grace, and then, fearful thatho orsome
one would suspect she had valuables
she turned hastily and ran down a tide
street
But where should she go? That was
the West Side, and free from fire, but
sho had never been there, knew no one,
and tho streets wcra full of flying peo

they all seemed going ono way
So they were, and after a long walk,
In which sho many times nearly fell
with fatigue, sho reached the end of her
journey, the place where half a city was
collected In misery and despair. It was
a wide, baro pralrlc, with hundreds
yes, thousands of people, soma with a
houseful of furniture and goods, some
with nothing In tho world but thel
night-clothes, camped down to wait for

That scene cannot be described,
Grace sank exhausted on the ground
and very likely would never have arisen
for she was wet and cold, tired and
hungry. But although everything
life seemed gone, kind hearts were not
burned up, and near her happened

saved all tho furniture of her little
house by means of her husband's ex

and her thrco children, while her bus.

English.but sho doubtless saved Grace'
life,
After drinking tho coffee, which gavi

her face in her hands and burst into tin

that touched tho warm-hearted woman
Sho tried to question her; she made her

There, on that desolate prairie, w

passed that awful night,
A little sleep did wonders to refresh
her, and with the light of morning

of their number who had died during
the night, many grieving for children

With dawn, -wagons from the uu

Misery, sickness, death, insanity,
trouble of all sorts sho saw? but not a
face that sho know; and bravely once
tuoro she started on the road to what
was left of the city.
AH that day long sho walked, weary,
footsoro.neaflycrazy, Inquiring her way
to churches and school-housc,4nd going
through every one that she found.
"I'm looking for my papa, who's
sick," opened all doors to her. Eagerly,
almost wlldlv, as the hours went by.she
peered Into the faces of tho crowd. She
ate something sho knew not what;
somebody made her sit down and cat
and drlr.k;. somebody said kind words
In her car; somebody took off her soaked
and ruined shoes, and put on a pair that
were dry, though, coarse; somebody
tried to take off her jacket to dry It, for
It was soaking with last night's rain.
But fear of discovery aroused her. She
tore away with a cry, and ran many
blocks heforo she dared to look around
to see if she wero pursued.
dust as It began to grow dark Grace
who had all day heard dreadful talcs of
suffering and death, of people burned
up, and people dying of exposure was
settling Into the belief that she no longer
had father or mother, that she should
all her life be a tramp aud a begger, and
that all her sufferings had not after all
saved her dear papa, for whoso sake she,
had braved everything. Just at this
lowest point of her courage, her eyes
fell upon a familiar faco coming out of
church.
"0 Maggie!" she cried, with her heart
on her lips, "where's my papa?"
"An' who aro ye thin?" asked the
tidy Irish girl. "I don't know ye, boy."
"O Magglcl I'm Graccl I'm not a
boy; I have on Bert's clothes." Heie
sho whlspcicd: "I I I went to get
something for papa."
"Faith thin! I do believe it's Miss
Grace herself; but I nlver should ha'
known her! Holy Mother! won't they
bo wild, just?" and seizing one arm of
Grace, with a grip like iron sho started
off with rapid strides towards the
suburb).
But Maggie, tell me, are they safe?
Do you know anything about them,
Maggie?" with a cry so full of agony
that the good-hearted though rough girl
stopped.
"Well, yls, thin; they're safe and
sound In my brother's bit place to stay.
Your pa was carried In a wagon, and 1
and the Missis rode with tho driver.
We couldn't git any place, an' so I made
bold to speak to.mo brother, who has a
spare bed so he hai. So they went
thero glad enough to get a roof oyer
their heads. But ain't they just wild
about you Your pa was out o' his
slnses all night, an' your ma walked the
house like a mad cretur, I'm out now
have been all day trying to find you.
And why thin, I'd like to know, did ye
run away that black day?"
But Grace could not answer. Belief
and joy, added to her sufferings, were
too much. She had fainted dead away.
bout 8 o'clock that evening there
stole Into tho back door of an Irishman's
shanty on the prairie a neat Irish girl,
half dragging, half carrying the death
like figure of a boy, ragged, forlorn,
hatlcss, miserable; ho looked like oucof
the worst vagabonds of city life.
Mrs. Lord was warming something at
the fire, and looking so old changed
that Grace hardly knew her. At sight
Maggie she looked up eagcrly.but seeing
hercompaulon she fell back witli a moan.
"Oh. my Godl you haven't found her,
then?"
"Thin ye don't know her, Missis? No
more did 1; but look again!"
Another and closer look, and mother
aud child were In each other's arm.
Good news travels as fast as bad, aud
in one minute more Graco was in tho
arms of her father, and such a sceno of
tears and sobs and groans and erics, may
It never be your lot to see.
When all were calm, and Graco was
warmed and fed and bathed, and dressed
in some clothes of Maggie's In which
she looked Hko an overgrown doll; anil
when the precious package, which had
so nearly cost tho lives of Grace and her
father, was found to be not destroyed
by Its soaking Grace told her story, or
what sho could of It. Much of It sho
could not recall, nnd never again could
she be induced to repeat it, so full of
