There's opening cans, for in- ' stance opening these newfangled I cans with patent openers that are al ways getting lost.

"The criminals will be kept In the hold chained. They can , do you no harm." 1 "Can you not send them away from here? 1 wish you would." I "I regret that I cannot, ns I have . agreed to take them." As day after day passed the bright little cherub Grace spread light and ' i Joy throughout the vessel. ' Soon she noticed on deck the con ! vlct, Mark Mold, who, having been taken ill in the confined air below, bad been relieved of his chains and led up on tno broa blue, rolling ocean. Won't you have some? Here, take it You may have It all," fell a child ish voice on his car, and, looking down, he saw Grace at his knee holding up her cake. He seemed about to put his hand on her hend when Mrs. Howland gently j oui qutcmy arew tno cnna away. The man showed no emotion at this action of the lady. j "You must never go near that bad i man again," said Mrs. Howland. Just as she spoke a heavy squall struck the ship, hurling her down and i i,nnKt nn lipr lienm onils nn.l driving her tnrougll tll0 wator with everything i,uinmlnir i Suddenly there was a wild shriek from Mrs. Howland ns little Grace, who had attempted to run into the cabin, was literally blown to leeward into the sea. "My child! O God. save my child!" screamed the distracted mother, whose vc,iCOi bowever, was nearly drowned by thc booming thunder of wind nnd ocean, the rattling of canvas, the slat- ting of sheets and ropes and the swash- lng, hissing noise of the sweeping spray. The sailors looked with appalled faces on the form of Grace as she was borne along by the merciless waves. Not one of them dared to venture over board In that tempest, and, as to low ering a boat. It was simply impossible, as no boat could live in such a storm. "Save her! Will no one savo my child?" screamed Mrs. Ilowland, cou- fronting the seamen with clasped hands and frenzied, beseeching eyes. They looked nt each other, and not one moved, for all felt that certain death awaited the man who should plunge into that wrnthful ocean, but Mark Mold plunged overboard, and the mother clung to a backstay, eager ly watching for his reappearance; but, seeing nothing of him, she bowed her head on the rail, moaning and raving like a maniac. Still raged the storm and on tore the ship farther and farther from tho 1 place where tho mau and child bad gone overboard. The seamen exchang ed ominous glances and shook their , heads. Soon the squall swept far away to leeward, the ship righted and the sun Reamed from a clear sky upon a elenrlncr sen. ! :; , . , . , , io captain who having now brought his ship to, with main top- I ,, , , , - , i I ahack, had run aloft, a wild cry j went ringing to the heavens, sending , aQ c,ectr,c a hearta , . f d J "I see something two miles off the lee quarter. God grant It be tho man j and child!" His boat was soon down with good I oarsmen in It, with Mrs. Howland, full I of wild, anslous hope, In tbe stern sheets. Nearer to that distant speck drew the boat "There he la!" cried the watchtal captain at last "I think I bellevo but am not certain he yea, yes, thank God hooray, hooray he has the child!" Yes, there was tho convict in tho water, holding up thc child that the mother might see it Such a scream of Joy as buret from that mother's lips it would have dono you good to hear. A few minutes later Grace nestled on her bosom, weak nnd faint bat showing signs of rapid recovery, as tho happy woman strained ber to her breast showering kiss after kiss upon her face. Almost exhausted to unconscious ness, Mark Mold lay In tho bottom of the bdht scarcely hearing the mother, hardly feeling the pressure of her Hps upon his hands, when at length sho turned to him, warmly expressing ber gratitude. On arriving at Fort Jackson Mrs. Howland related to her hnsband, tho colonel, he ga,lant conduct of Mju Mold, who thereafter was constantly j befriended during his hard prison life ' by the grateful officer. I This kind treatment, the first he had over received from a human being ' since ho became an outlaw, bad a sof-! tening effect on Mark's character, and j he conducted himself so well that the colonel at length succeeded In obtain-j 1ng for him n commutation of his pen-: alty, which had been for twenty years, to half that tiaie.

The fire bell gave the alarm and the department was quick ly on hand, but despite Its efforts, with calls for relief until the op erators were forced to leave the of fices. When the fire reached those buildings, .Montlcello was cut off from communication nnd It was only by tho bright reflection that could bo seen for miles that any one outside could tell how matters were progressing. Fire companies from Port Jervls, Liberty nnd Mlddlctowu were ap pealed to, and responded as soon as possible, but It was not until mid night that the flames were con trolled. An area of nearly a half mile square of what was the best business property of Montlcello was was in ruins and thc tall, gaunt chimneys, the charred maples, the black walls that kept tumbling every minute, and furniture and store goods scattered all over combined to make a spectacle of misery and dis palr. Despite the severe strain put on the water system, it worked fairly well. The water is supplied from Kiamesha Lake and is pumped into a stand pipe and the fears that the pump might cease to operate were quieted. Several Monticello firemen were injured. Among them were William Brown, who has a sprained wrist as a result of a fall from a ladder, and Duane Carr and a young man named Caveney, who fell from a roof and received painful bruises. While the fire was in progress, a considerable quantity of dynamite near the new court house in process of construction was blown up. That no loss of life is reported is miracul ous. The loss is anywhere from $500, 000 to $1,000,000.

Boys, Read This. Hudson Maxim, the great powder expert, in a recent interview on the subject of cigarettes, closed with this terrific indictment: "If all the boys could be made to know that with every breath of cigarette smoke, they Inhale im becility and exhale manhood; that they are tapping their arteries as surely and letting their life's blood out as truly as though their veins and arteries were severed; and that the cigarette Is a maker of invalids, criminals and fools not men It ought to deter them some.
