The ringing OF the fire bells Is always
startling sound, but beco mes really
awe-inspiring in the dead of Il light. To
wake up out of "a sound sleep AMI hear
the clangor OF the bells so oundin0
through the stiffness oil the night lends
au added terror TO the dread one has of
fire. Then rs one lies awake and Won
ders what the properly is that is being
burned up, you can hear the clatter
OF the horses hoofs as they dash madly
over the paved streets, the rumble OF the
heavy wheels, the !oui grating sound as
they strike the Car tracks aud cross
them, the sharp ang of their gongs as
they approach crossing, and, finally. IL
you are anywhere near the sc e.e OF the
blaze, the hoarse pufliag o. the engines
as tney throb and pant In their ork Of
saving property anu life. Suddenly the
air like the shrek OF some soul in dis
tress. but 1t is only n siglal for more
Goa. AS Jon lay there you imagine
ladJ away up on the swayinx lad
ders the plucky firemen are climb
ing dragging the long lines of
hose until the reach advan ageous posi-
tions. Soon one swings inside the lad
der, crash goes the gas, in a window
aud volumes OF smohe aud tongues OF
flame leap out, ony to meet tDe con.
fronting nozzle delivering its saving
weight of water. Stream after stream
pOurs into the burnidg building until
Hdany smoulderlng, black and water
soaked, the fire hickers aud dies out.
The recall is souaued, anI yoL leave oil
these awful scehes a al drop
ASLEEP. The next morning you rea
"The alarm OF fire from box 81. Tobey
street and broadway, at 2;40 O'Clock this
morning.. was a false one" anu you make
up your mind that you will let some 20
else 40 the worrying aud imagining next
time.
