sought for, and married her when found.

these stories have doubtless a common

the origin is to be found.

There was a wild stampede among the pu-

fire gong in the basement, which was set
ringing either by the storm or by some mis-
chievous small boy.
All the pupils have been trained in the fire
drill, and in case of a blaze they are sup
posed to march out in perfect order. But at
the first clang of the bell, all the long prac-
tice was forgotten, and discipline was thrown
to the winds.
Tbs boys yelled and rushed to the windows,
and the little girls tried to crawl under the

spread from the top floor to the basement,
and everybody made a break for the windows
and the corridors. One boy was on the point
of jumping out when the window fell and held

the children were quieted and finally coralled.
