At recent midnight fire one of the
police officers of the Second station, who
first performed efficient service for the
city as a fireman, rushed madly TO a
cradle that was In a smoke-tlled room.
His hands sought for the occupant OF tho
crib, and he raised something In his
arms, but alas for his hope of having a
brave deed placed TO his credit on the
blotter at the station-it wa only rag
doll he held. To complete his misery,
Just as he opened a door TO leave the
room ne received almost the full force OF
a hose in his face, and his hopes OF glory
as well as his clothes were much damp
ened.

rather thought she saw, n man with
revolver. One of the occupants OF the
tenement told the badly frightened Wis.,
itor to run down TO the Second police
station for an officer The visitor did no,
and arrived there very much exhausted.
She managed To tell the officers in charge
at the station that there was a man in
hor house with revolver who was rails
ing big disturbance and had threatened
TO shoot everyone he came across. The
police started out to investigate, and
when they arrived at the tenement whore
the man with n revolver was reported to
be they were informed that he had gone
away The officers questioned more
closely and found one of the women had
disguised herself in mans overcoat
and taken revolver and ttrcrt -cuffed-thc
lady residing down stairs up for the pur-
pose of soaring her. Somehow or other
the "jole" did not seem es funny after the
officer had talked TO the wonsr a little
while as it appeared VIXEN the two women
first thought of ii.
