alarm In an incredibly short time the
streets near the scene were filled with fire
apparatus and the battle with the flames
began. Thousands OF spectators packed
the available space outside the fire lines
and craned,their necks to watch the flames,
which were bursting from the top windows
Of the lofty building.
A Cry of Horror Arose.
Suddenly moving figures were seen fit
ting like specters through the smoke that
enveloped the roof of the blazing struct-
ure, and cries of horror escaped the lips of
the crowd far below. Six girls and two men
employed in the restaurant on the ninth
floor had been cut off from escape and
seemed doomed to horrible death before
the eyes of powerless thousands. The
women were rushing about upon the roof
wringing their hands, and their shrill,
faint shrieks for help were waited down
ward through the smoke and the roar of
the engines One woman seemed about to
jump, but hundreds of voices shouted to
her to remain where she was, although her
rescue seemed impossible owing to the
great altitude of the building.
Daring Tiremen to the Rescue.
II was time for quick action and the
dauntless fremen responded. Rockets
with ropes attached were sent over the roof
as a preliminary precaution, and then the
ladders were brought out and lashed to-
gether. Some were placed on the roof of
Dey street, directly in the rear of the burn
ing building, and some were run up from
the roof of 20l Broadway.
The ladders reached easily and soon as
the top ends touched half dozen firemen
were running up like sailors. They were
the picked men who are trained for just
such an emergency, and they worked very
thoroughly in harmony. One by one the
terror stricken servants were brought down
to a safe place amid the wild cheers of the
enthusiastic thousands.
The Loss Half a Million.
The flames were finally subdued sfter a
hard fight. The loss will reach nearly
S500, 900, and the telegraphic communica'
tion of the United States will be seriously
interfsred with for week. Only the good

Is the Hessian Generals sword.

rays,
To dream that our laud is free,
While Washington's praise through the
latter days -
Would be more than pride to me.
So bafTled, he turned flom the PARROT
maid,
And lie had not word to say,
But he thought of his youth meath the
Oxford shade,
In the land that was far away
He saw the oaks near an English Hall
And a river that danced and shone,
But over it all rang Americas CALL
The country that was his own.
Then he broke the bonds of his stubborn
pride,
He swore by the stars above,
That he would ride by Washington's
side,
IN "Oult llSlll lHC > love.
He crossed the river of floating ice,
With the dauntless Patriot band,
And he fought right we'll, as the tales
can tell,
With courage of heart and hand.
The Hessians fell in that night attack,
In the midst of their noisy feast,
But the lover snatched from the whiri
and wrack
One trophy to keep, at least.
To find the maiden he made his shift,
And sued for his great reward,
He brought her indeed, for Christmas

The Hessian Generals sword.
