A Mothers Love and Courage,

The hercism Of u mother when
her children are in peril has been
the theme Of many an orator and

perhaps, for they seem to be hum

Suddenly u cloud Of smoke went
up from the roof. Then the wo-
man saw some angry flames. In
4 few minutes she was in front OF
the blazing dwelling. Her two
children, a boy and girl, were in
a chamber and couldn't get out.
Without a thought of herself sh(
rushed dcGanlly through the iir'

holding her close to her breast
and made way TO place Of safety
The child was badly burned
nevertheless, and the clothes pflh
of the frantic mother were al
ablaze.
She made a second attempt, bu

sufrocating smoke and the so'i
wall of fire. The boy could nc
be saved but his agony was shoI
