LOST IN THE TIRE
Ou, my God! how can I live and the city burning vp!’ groaned Mr. Lord, turnipg impatiently upon his pillow.
‘But you are insured,’ said his wife, with pale face, ‘you will not lose any- thing.’
‘It isn’t the office I care for,’ answered Mr, Lord, ‘but a package of papers very) valuable, entrusted to my care,’ and he groaned again.
‘But won't the sale protect them?’ cried Mrs. Lord, eagerly.
‘That’s the worst of it,’ said Mr. Lord in a voice husky with emotion. ‘They should be in the safe, but in my half- dazed state on the day I was taken ill, I neglected to put them there; they are in my desk, aud the only comfort I have had since | could think, was that it hes a good lock, and 1 have the key—but | bow |’
‘Are they so very valuable, then?’
‘So precions that if they are burned I shall be disgraced ; it will be dishonor if, I am anable to produce them,it is un-
pardonable that I should not have; secured them; it will kill me [| feel that it will! Oh! if I could only
move! or Herbert was here!”
‘Can't I do something?’ eagerly asked his wife,
‘No, indeed! From what Mr. Brown tells me the streeis are filled with a mob; ue lady would be safe in them for an instant. She would be robbed, if not! worse. Herbert might, perhaps, find a way to get them, aud to save his father’s honor, if not also his life. Iam sure he would. O, how can I live and let them burn.’
Listeving breathlessly with white face to this talk, stood Grace Lord, who was just entering the room when her father spoke. A thought had crossed her mid, and a plan bad grown iu these few , seconds,

ened to run, and now and
‘Why can’t I save these papers?’ was the thought, and ‘I will’ was the con- ok on, as her father ended.

ithere few minutes, The tall Locks oo jhoth sides of the street were ou fire; # big building at the corver had fallen avd cut off her return that way, while the air was full°of smoke and cinders avd heat that nearly suffocated her. Instead of the crowd she had seen, it was deserted, every ove had fled for his life. Smother- ed, blinded, frightened, Grace turned to run—alas! away from home,
It wea the ouly way she could go. At the first corner, she found herself vo longer «lone, but one smal! atom of a moving mass of people. To turn the other way would have been like trying to stem a furicus rushing river, and be- sides, that way was thick with emoke and fire. 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, aud the hot breath of the flames followed | them even into the water far out as they could stand, till the water came up to their necks, Even then many were
i suffocated, and dropped into the water
aud were not missed. Grace went as fur as she could, and keep her head above water. She thought with a pang that the papers would be wet, but they were well tied, and anyway they would not be burned. So she tried to take comfort, though an awful fear had come upon her that she should never see her parents again.
Ther, too, she remembered that no one knew she had gone, nor where to look for her, and thongh she had thonght only of being brave, she found she had been foolish. ‘ But the papers were safe, and papa will be glad,’ was the thought that always came to comfort ber despair.
At last, after hours of agony and ter- ror and distress, with groans and cries , avd prayers in strange confusion, such as no one can imagine who did not pass through it, when many thought the world was buruing UP, ond all bud hule hope of getting out alive, the fire burved itself out in that part of the cily, and swept on to the north.

and was gone. It was a noble and) generous impulse, but it was a fearful) thing to do.
This happened in Chicago, during the terrible fire that burned that city thirteen ‘years ago. It was early on Monday ;moruing ; the south side was already a ‘roariug furnace, aud the pborth side, in which my story lies, was eveu then on fire.
When Grace turned the corner into a ‘much-used street, she was appalled, and _for an instant turned back. It was filled ‘with a crowd of people hurrying by, with fear, horror and other strange pas- Some were loaded with househeld goods or treasures they hoped to save, others carrying screaming babies, or dragging children too fright- then two or three holding between them one too ill to stand. It was a terrible sight, a whoe city flying for life, and a girl alone, however brave, might well be

It was only for a moment, however. Grace thought of her father, and plunged The office was not more
‘than half a mile, aud her feet fairly
flew, although everybody else was going the other way, and she had to dodge between people and horses aud loads of all sorts.
It was well she had vot far to go, for the roof was just burstiag into flame as ‘she opened the door with her father’s keys. His desk easily yielded to the peculiar key she knew #0 weil, and amoung letters and papers laid a package
she instioctively kuew was the precious
one, 80 carefully tied and sealed, so out

(Grace ssined in the rush over the heated eerth, water pouring from her |cloihes at first, but soon dried io the heat around her. Home and _ papa’s package was her only thought now, but where was home? As soon as she reached the pavements she saw that she was hopelessly lost. Where was Dear- born Street? Where Clark Street?
All was alike unrecognizable. Every lawp posis, street

upon a smoking and steaming wilderness, and .as she turned her face towards where her home shen'd be, and
saw the vast well of fire marching on, she knew she had vo bome ia the world. And where then weie father and mother?
The awful desolation that ewept over the poor litte soul in that terrible moment is something too horrible for you to imagive. Be thank{ul that it ix. She would have
sunk under the weight of her despair but for the thought of the precious peckage. For thet she moved on-— ‘I must save it” her constant thought; “Papa will be dishonored without it’—and the poor tired feet hurried on,she kuew not where.
From that part of the cily the only way of reaching the West Side, where was no fire, was over 4 Certain bridge. Gradually the stream of people, of whom Grace was ove, drew near that bridge in
whose usrrow pass.ge horrors were taking place all the time. The broad street had hardly room for
flying people in wegors and carrisges of every sort; when then the way grew varrow, there was a terrible ttruggie for
plece. Heavy wagons piled high with furniture crasbed ruthlessly into car- riages of people; turniture fell and
blocked the way ; vehicles were dissbled and abandoned; frightened horses let loose to (trample at their pleasure ; people with loads thrown down ; feeble women pressed to the wall. Ali the worst of human passions were Jet loose, aud meu became fiends in the mad struggie for salety and life.
(Concluded in our next.)
The magnitude of the Escurial, the great Spanish palace, may be inferred from the computation of Francisco de los Sautos that it would take four deys to go through all the rcoms and aparimente, the length of the way being reckoned a 23 Spanieh leagues, which is about 120 English miles. There are 40,000 doors end 11,000 windows in the edifice.
