THE BURNING OF ALLINGS- FORD HOUSE. Allingsford House was not very old, nor was it particularly beautiful; at least the late All- ingsford House, which is the one I am speak- ing of, was not. But, on the other hand, the park was one of the noblest in England, and contained some splendid shooting. The ken- nels also, at no great distance from the honse, were reuowned both near and far. The enor- mous trout caught in the Alling, which ran through the park, were often mentioned in the Field, ond bad furnished many a day's work to ¢ local taxidermist.

When Harry saw this his first thought was for Nina, and he tore w stairs with the flames literally at his heels. It was he who opened the door at the bottom of the corkscrew stair, admitting the volumes of hot smoke as they rolled fiercely upward. He saw her, candle in hand, when she fell back, blinded’ and coughing; the next moment he had her in his arms. He thought that there was still time to make a dash for it down the fiery stairs; it was the only chance to sare her life, (One moment to wrap a blanket around his darling as a protection against the hungry flames, and then for the rush. Whether he lived or died afterward did not matter if he could only struggle on to the bottom, where other hands would be ready to ke charge of his precious burden, That mo- ment’s delay sayed both their lives, for just as he snatched the blanket from the bed, when, if they had started at first, they would have been half way down the first flight, came a bang! crash! as with a deafening noise a portion of the outer wall of the room and the whole of the corkserew staircase fell while the whole building shook.

Retreat by the stair- case was now impossible, Under the window was a sheer drop all the way to the ground; 2 monkey could not have saved himself there’ The explosion had had one good effect, for blowing out all the windows and even part of the outer wall on that side, it allowed the wind, which was blowing fresh, to take most of the smoke and heat over to the other part of the house; otherwise they must soon have been suffocated. They were standing together in the corner, by the door. Though her feet were on the ground, Nina was still in his arms, with spoken. For all reply she pressed his hand and turned her face calmly and trustfully up to his, Had Harry's last second on this earth, and he conscious of it, he could not have helped hissing her then, “Forgive me, my darling.” he “but I love you with all my heart. all who met him remarked how well he carri his misfortunes, Nina was very happy, sitting at the fireside, musing and watching ‘her lover's sleep, now sound and healthy, a sure sign that the fever had gone. There ‘was something very strange bout it all, and she could scarcely believe that she was the same girl who had gone to bed in the turret room the night before. Presently Mrs. Hickley arrived and told her that her uncles were coming to fetch her in the rector's t. Harry slept, though now his sleep seemed lighter. At length he turned lasily on his back, opened his eyes, and said: “Nina,” Not a word till you've had your soup; here itis, allready. Give it to me, Mrs, Hickley. And now you must have another piliow under you; so. “Now, I'll hold the basin, and if you are strong enough, you shall feed yourself.’ “But Nina * : “Silence, sir! Obey orders, Why, here come both my uncles; I'm sure it’s their voices we hear. Oh, Harry!” “Yes, darling?” “T’ve told them.” Captain Melvilie’s illness did not last very long, He was moved to Hill's farm on the third day; and could get up in about a fort- night. Soon after that he rejoined his regi- ment. I may mention, by the way, that while he was in bed he got a long letter from his solicitor stating that some missing papers had just been found in the lining of a safe which established his claim to the property in chan- cery beyond a doubt, and promising that in two or three months’ at the most he would enter into legal possession, The banns were put up on the ist of May, Sir John having an old-fashioned dislike to licenses, Living with two good-tempered old gentle- men, of course Nina escaped the lectures and endless advice with which maiden aunts and married friends so love to load a girl who is going to embrace the fetters of wedlock. True, the colonel did try his hand one evening, be- ginning by recounting some of his experiences asa mess caterer and ending by saying: “I hope, also, my dear, that you will let the unfor- tunate accident which occurred at Christmas be a warning to you never to allow your maids to lie awake reading after they have gone to bed.

The tariff issue was ever present throughout the campaign, and it seems as though the republicans have made the country believe that we were committed to free trade, and the people pronounced against it. Our position was grossly misrepresented, as our party has not at any time declared for free trade, but simply for a reduction of exces- sive taxation, but the catch-words of the vase were all against us, We have gone in a contest entirely free from personali fact upon which the country is to be congratu- ate “What were the leading causes of defeat?” was asked the Senator, He hesitated for a moment and then sai “Pardon me, but I don’t care to go into a dis- cussion of the issues of the campaign at this time.

That ill be ample time for the discussion of that subject. I sincerely believe the doctrine of the democratic party has the support of the majority of the people, and although we are defeated we will come up smiling again four years hence.
