children of MIR. and Mrs. Frank Pen.
rod at Laddsdale, mining town on
the Wapello and Davis county line,
were burned to death last night.
Three were cremated and two died q

aged 10; John, aged 8; Minerva, aged
6; Ross, aged 4; Blaine, aged 8. The
parents of the children took the oldest
child of the family, a son aged II, and
a baby in the arms of its mother, and
went to a religious meeting, having
first put the other five children to bed.
About 9 o'clock an alarm of fra Yves
given and Penrod rushed out with the
other occupants of the school house,
to find his house in flames. 1t was
impossible to enter the house, as 1t
was crumbling when Penrod rsached
it. The children's beds were by the
window, however, and Penro1 burst
the window open and succeeded In
pulling the 8 year and 4 year old
boys out, horribly burning himself in
the attempt. The two never regaine I
consciousness and died in short time.
The others were burned until only a
few bones were found in the debris OF
the house. The coroner's inquest
threw no light on the origin OF the
fire.

minutes or more thinking, then he re-
turned to the Spires house But when
he reached the door he stopped again.
After few moments he crept noiseless-
ly away back to the road. But there
it seemed that mighty power stopped
him; he could go no further. After ten
minutes he went back to the house,
and this time he opened the door and
went in.
When he entered the room where the
family sat they all looked up in sur
prise.
Forgot something?" Nancy inquired.

with an effort to appear natural, he
added: Il came back to tell you that
I've got $1S7 that you are welcome to,
if you want to send Sim to Atlanta to
see the doctor"
How did you get so much money!"
Timothy Spires asked, staring at him
in surprise.

He was walking rapidly down the road
with his newly pointed plowshares slung
over his shoulder in a crocus sack, when
he met DR.. Parker. They stopped to
talk, and John Anthony told him of his
offer to Nancy Spires for Sim. The
physician listened without comment
and when Anthony finished stared down
at him with his eyes drawn together
for fully ten minutes. Then he said:
'I'll stop by your house tomorrow on
my way from Nancy Spires Then
abruptly turned his horses head, gave
it dig in the ribs with his heels and
galloped away.
The following day John Anthony was
hard at work pulling fodder when DR..
Parker rode up to the fence and called
to him. He finished the bundle of fod-
der he had begun. stuck it on the stalk,
and went over to the fence.
Are you willing to go to Atlanta
with Sim Spires?" the doctor de-
manded abruptly.
Yes, sir. if you think it necessary

stern face on the other side of the
fence.

Spires to Atlanta, and two days later
DR.. Camack performed an operation
which completely restored the mans

enough to return home, and John An
