LAST EVENINGS FIRE.
A Dangerous Blaze at the Carriage
Factory.

IdtiOl1
An alarm of fire turned in at Just I
o'clock last evening summoned the de-
partment to the Cheyenne carriage works,
corner O'Niel and Eighteenth.
Flames were at work in the front part
of the second floor and it was towards this
quarter hat the efforts of tie fremen
were directed.
Alter the excitement had subsidized suf.
%ieiently to permit an investigation it was
discovered that the fire was confined to a
room in the southeast corner OF the top
story. A line of hose was run to the
blaze and the fire was under control in a
few minutes. Before this was accomp-
lished, no Sever, an immense amount of
water had been thrown into the room
and was dropping to the first floor.
With smoke out of the way it was
learned that the fire probably originated
IN one of a set of shelves in which mo
hair or moss had been stored. As paint
ers frequently worked near the place it
may be that the combustion of a rag
saturated with oil caused the blaze. At
any rate the total destruction of the big
brick factory and its contents was only
everted By determined work.
Insurance is carried on the plant. The
loss will be quiet heavy. In addition to
the fire damage, which was considerable,
about 100 carriages were subjected to hose
play for a half hour or more.

she got q step-ladder and went to work on

It was more work than we had imagined,

Aunt Harriet jumped out of the wagon at

weeks at Clover Farm, and thought it
more than kind of her to say might bring
Lulu Fenwick with me.
Lulu and I were fast friends, and it
would have been terrible for us to be sep
arated for two whole weeks. Lulu said we
couldn't have lived through it. We were
used to seeing each other every day, and for
year were at the same boarding school.
But scarlet fever broke out one spring,
and there was a general stampede of all the
pupils; and when fall came and school
| opened again, my mother concluded not to
send me back She said she thought the
influences there were not good for me; but
had an idea that the real reason was that
she wanted me to taIze care of the baby

! Of course that didn't make any difference
Mother only said it would be good discipline
for me, and ought to be glad to make.my-
self useful
And Lulu Fenwick's father had lost q
good deal oflmoney in some way, and 80 she
! didn't go back. And her mother sent away
! the upstairs girl, and Lulu had TODD the
chamber work.
She thought that was worse than taking
care Of baby, and we used to wish that we
lived In fairy times when fairies were al
ways appearing with golden wands and
