Tho Hamea swept swiftly through tho
house, and burst out at the roof. With
a great crash it fell, scndiug up a vol

consumed, nml nro morning nothing
but (ho foundation stones, the stone <
of tbe cellar, and a pile of gray ashes
were left of the old lirvson house.
In timo the spot itself was lost to
men's knowlodge. The stones wero
removed; new soil replaced tho ruins;
d* ye .r after your crops coverod the place;
o. the people's ic ol lection of the old
house grew dim; and now, almost sixty
years after, tho exact location of the

the few aged survivors of tho cvonts
which wo have been recording.
But ovor and over again hns tho
truth of tho saying been proved, "Murder

of tbe old house wero brought to light,
is yet to bo related.

HOPES AN I) 1EVK8.
Tho efforts of tho few women who
had come to tho scono of tho con 'agra- j
tion to revive Jessica met with b it littlo
success at tho time. Tho cool
brocze blowing ncross her face a'ter
she was borne from the burning building
and wrapped in ohawls, gave lior a
I- ' little consciousness, so that slio was
ie nble to understand the meaning of
| what was passing boforo her eyes. .As
IQ she reclined upon tho grass, she saw

ff j wUfcu she knows that her poor father
o ' was burned up n\i\o?"v Tho uncone
1 sciousness that followed lasted for
I dayn.
I l'andall Belmont revived sufficiently
j. | to direct that both Jessica and liimsolf
n should be conveyed to Mrs. Van Wye ;'s.
It was done the same evening.
There was a week of severo sufferingbeforo
him ere ho was able toleavo
n his bod, and not in ull his after lifo did
, he lose tho scars of tho burns upon
I his arms. When he wus released from
j. tho doctor's care, and was able to leave
* his bed and walk about tho houso, ho
' found himself weak and thin with his
sickness; but ho thought the sacrifice
3r a cheap ouo, if by it ho had preserxed
in Jessica.
J* it was long doubtful whethor his
? heroic efforts and Bufferings had saved
* j her.
'K | Ho bogged tho doctors ^o be allowed
10 j to see her. He met with a peremptory
11 . refusal.
"1 will not speak," he urged. "X .
(f only want to look at her face."
i3 1 "No," was tho firm reply. "We dare
a" j not allow it. Her condition is most
a critical. Tho least excitement might
10 kill her. Should she happen to see
10 I vour face. I know not what offoct mirrhfc i
'H j Iw) prodncod. While her poor brain is I
|? | i:i its present condition, no one but her
is phvsicvans and Mm Vsn Wyck must
n" see her."
id "Hut she'll live, won't sho?" the |
lover asked, with white face and trem- (
r* b'.ing vo co. "Doctor, save her, and ,
'd you may ask me for anything."
"khe is in the hands of Hod!" was
the solemn reply. "All that our skill i
d and oxporionce can accomplish shall bo '
done; and Mrs. Van Wyck, bosides .
d being devoted to Miss Bryson, is tho |
?? best nurso auy whore about here. Yet, ,
I must toll you candidly, no one but
16 this poor girl\j Maker can predict tho ,

id All that night she lay as ono dead, '
It and it was only when the next day had
'? worn on well toward noon that a faint
18 sigh from her lips betokened that her
'J fluttering spirit had returned to tho
e- cares and trials of earth.
r For some days after life h- ngdoubt- j
10 fully in tho balance, while the good
physicians and tho widow wat hod inr?
?ossantly beside her. Then, when life
had again assorted itsolf, a fever sot in,
A" and the ravings of her delirium were
pitiful to hear. Disjointed sentences, '
a" unintelligible to those who heard her, |
8? but which rea'ly spoke of tho sorrows
iy : of hur life, fell fnst from her lips.
v- I Apain she knelt at tho bedsido of her |
J dying mother, and her toarfnl promise
' was ropeatcd, to bo faithful and true to
f | her futlirr always, since thoro was none
f? other left to Ioto him, Again she gave
n- her reluctant consent to marry Edgar
a* Van W.\ ck. bccauso her fattier urged
a it. Then thore was her appeal to anf?
other not to scok her, or lior father
't would do him harm; language which
w tho widow should havo understood?
but tho I in.I, anxious soul was too
" much ocupioil with tho dangers of the
lo sult'erer to take much heed of her de- i
'? liriOus words. Other broken sentences '
thcro were, which no ono could haive
18 translated. When this stage of her
'f fever had passed she lay perfectly ?onn
scions of her surroundings, and of all |
p" that had happonod, but weak?oh, how .
10 weak I For days she lay thus, takiug j
|r little nourishment, too feeble to move
I? a limb, white as n snowdrift. Plainly
' could it be seen by the grave aspect of
^ that Uioy. feared

could not hide filled her eyes. R*
( nco more the music of itandall tol- 'r

ho drew a glow.ng pictnro of thcr fit- tti

the honutiful city homo, and nil the at- n,
tractions that surrounded it. Ho im- tc
plored hor, now that every possiblo ol>- y
stade had heen removed by the death tt
of her father, no longer to thwart tho J(
luippineis of both of them.
He had taken both her hands; sho ["
trembled; sho was irresolute; her eyes
!avoided h's; she would have lied from c<

"Unt an answer I must have." b
"You shall linvo it." i

She was silont. Watching her face ,
with intense anxiety, ho saw she was j
struggling with an intenso emotion w
powcrfnl enough to stille her spoech.

He was cruelly disappointed.

that day. Bnudall wished to talk with c
her again, but sho refused to see him. f.
In tho afternoon ho sent up a note to \
her room, asking to l?o admitted, and n
promising to say nothing upon a for- c
bidden subject. Ilor solo reply, penciled
upon tho samo paper, was: "i'ou
must wait till to-morrow.1'
By this time tho sympathetic widow ?'
had begtfh to seo the drift of affairs*' 01

".Don't trouble her any more to day, w
Mr. Belmont," sho said. "Yoi men

ts just as sno tola you; sbe hasn't any L
IJlrength yet, and she don't want any O

"It is not that," ho said. "Sho g'ves

".She'll feel differently, after a goad (l
night's rost. You must wait till tomorrow."
t
At ten o'clock the w'dow toftly came j
into her chamber with a lamp. The : *
girl lay motionless, with her eyes
closed. h
"Poor dear!" said the former, as she *
went to her own room; "I hope she I
will rest so all night." c
But .'cssioa was not asleep. She had not
been. \
Sho waited an hour longer. Then u
sho rose and lighted a lamp. She j
dressed h rself, made up a small t
bundle, and putting on lier bonnet, t
| placed her hand on the door-knob. r
\inen came a monioni 01 irresolution. j

' that evening, that she had settlod *
everything in her own mind, and that r
her course was perfectly clear. But ?
now a new and troublesome suggestion 2
came?now at tho last momont r
Sho did not lind it easy to deoide. i
But at last her resolution was taken.
"Ho has a right to know tho reason," ?
she thought. "It will be painful; but (1
it is oily one more pang, llo must ^
no* think mo ungrateful. And it is tho
only way to keep him from pursuing 1
me."
There worn writing materials in a y
drawer of tho buroau. She placed e
them on tho table and began to writo. v
Slowly and as if restrained by deep ?'
agitation sho at first wrote. But as ?
she proceeded her pen moved rapidly, i
and shoot after shoot w.is nnvaraJ ~;tl? -
her firm, large characters. The com- e
pression of her lips showed that tho i
task was indeed painful; but she perse- t
vcred until it was finished.
Sho gathered up tho pages, placed K
them in order, folded them, and wrote
on tho outside, 'Vur Mr. Belmont." r
Then slie placed the package in a con- f
spicuous place on the bureau.
Tho hour was past twolvo. l|

WILD ANIMALS AT LARG?.
A lt -.(;n of Terror in llomoek to.,

The farmers in Southern Hancock county
> and many risiding in the nortiieru porliou
of Adams, Illinois, aero terrified almost
uighlly by the tcieninsof some wild beasts
about tlueo weeks ago. At lir?t it ?a<
thought that some woman or child was in

was found. A few mornings after the occur1
rencj one farmer residing near I ho Hancock
I county lino founii u cow and In r young calf
: lying in the b mi-lot dead and their todies
I mangled terribly. Hloody trails led Ironi
l the barn to tho pig-pen of another farmer,
] and here live gents were found with their
j throats < at. The discovery uroused tt.e
j farmers, .oal it was the opinion of ail tl.at a
! panther or sonio other wild animal was lurk:
ing in the neighborhood. Kar'y tho next
I day Abraham Johns went to Ins barn and
| saw the straw and fodder moving. Just then
j a huge animal bounded out with a horrid
scream and d^is.ippotuyd into the Umber
' ii"ar by.
I Tho excitement now spread through the
neighborhood, and n band of men was organ

1 1 The uninril was not dead, butits entrails ha l
been tern out. Tlio people are thoroughly
j nlurmed, and jiuiuy 01 them will not venture
from their homes ut night. A hand of df
j tcriuined men is now being organized, and ?~
they have resolved to captnro the beast at nil
i | hazards. There can be little doubt that one
