LOST IN THE FIRE

( Concluded.)

As Grace reached this place, almost ‘crushed in the crowd, a strong mau be- hind her spoke kindly.

, *My poor lad,’ he said, * you'll he ‘killed io that jam; hold on to me,’ avd | with great difficulty he raised her above

ithe crowd and stood her onthe narrow

rail next the water.

‘Now hold on to me,’ he said, and went on, fighting his own way, while Grace, nearly dead with horror, and expecting every moment to fall iato the water, held wildly to his neck- Once or twice she slipped, but his strong arm caught her, and at last, after hours, as it seemed to her, they reached the other side, and he lifted her down.

‘My boy,’ he said kindly, ‘you look delicate to be alone in this mad crowd; won't you come with me?’ 7

Oh, how Grace lovged to do so, but fear restrained her. He thougnt she was a boy, and she could not explain, because it might endanger the precious package.

‘Oh, no!’ she said hastily, ‘I must find papa, but I thank you more than I cau say for helping me over that bridge,’ shuddering as she spoke.

‘Yes, little man,’ said her friend, ‘you'd hardly have come over alive if | hedn’t seen you.’

‘ Papa’ll thauk you, too,” began Grace, and thev, fearful that he or someone would suspect she had valuables, she turned hastily and ran down a side street.

But where should she go? That was the West Side, and free fiom fire, but she had never been there, knew no one, and the streets were full of flying people. She could only go with them, for they all seemed going one way.

So they were, aud after a long walk, in which she many times nearly fell with fatigue, she reached the eud of her jour- ney, the place where halt a city was collected io misery and despair. It was a wide, bare prairie, with hundreds— yes, thousands of people, some with a houseful of furniture and goods, some with nothing in the world but their night-clotaes, camped down to wait for— they knew not what.

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 avd hungry. But alihough everything in life seemed gove, kind hearts were not burned up, and near her happened to be a motherly

what was left of the city.

All that day she walked, weary, fvot- sore, nearly crazy, enquiring her way to churches aud schoolhouses, and going ‘hrough every one that she found.

‘l’w lookivg for my paps, who’s sick,’ opened all doors toher. Fogerly,almost wildly, as the hours went by, she peered into the faces of the crowd. She ate something—she kuew not what; some- body made her sit down aud eat aud drink ; somebody said kind words io her ear; somebody took off her soaked ard ruived shoes,and put on a pur that were dry, though coarse ; somebory 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 ery, and ran many blocks before she Cared to look around to see if she were pursiied,

Just es it began to gow dark, Grace who bad ali day heard dreadiul tales of sufle inz and death, of people butned up, and people dying of exposurc—-wax rettling into the belicf that she no longer bad father or mother, that she shouid all her life be a tramp and a beggar, and that all her sufferiogs had not after all saved her dear papa, for whore take she had braved everything. Just at this lowest point of her courege, ber eyes fell upon a familiar face coming out of a church.

‘O Maggie!’ she cried, with her heart on ber ‘ips, ‘where's my papa ?’

‘Aun’ who are ye, thin?’ asked the tidy Irish girl. ‘I don't know ys, boy.’

‘O Maggie! I’m Grace! I’m rot a boy; I huve on B.rt’s clothes.’ Here she whi-pered : ‘I went to get something for papa.’

‘Faith, thin! I do believe it’s Mies Grace herself; but 1 pniver should ha’ known her! Howly Mother! wont’t they be wild, just?’ aud seizing ove arm of Grace with a grip like iron, she start- ed off with i:apid strides towards the suburbs.

‘But, Maggie, tell me, are they safe? Do you kuow anything about them, Maggie?’ wiih a cry so full of agony that the good-hearted though rough girl siopy ed.

‘Well, yis, thin; they’re safe and sound in me brother’s bit house on the prairie. They couldn’t get no place to stey. Your pa was carried in a wagon, and I and the Missus rode with the driver. We couldu’t git any place, an’ so I made old to speak of me brother, who has ea spare bed~so he bas. So they went there, glad «pough to git a roof over their heads. But ain’t they just wild about you! Your pa was out of his siuses all night, an’ your ma
