preston of concern, to see what was
going on below; but this the thick sides
of the nest prevented. Then it looked
at me and said; "Jark!" This was
the first remark Moses ever made TO

the pulpy mass, which now began to
bend to its fall.

The cactus came down with a crash,
and running up, we looked for our
bird. but only little gray down was
visible, with one leg helplessly ex-
tended from under big branch which.
broken by the shock, had fallen across
and almost hid him. We feared he was
killed; but when by means of an ax-
head hooked around the prickly stuff
it was pulled aside, he gathered himself
together quite unhurt. and then, sur
veying the strange beings who surround
ed him, made up his mind to them with
that philosophy we later learned to be
one of his traits, and opening his mouth
TO its fullest extent. limited that he was
hungry and wanted something to eat.

LIFE-SAvER AT THREE.
The Story of the Young Hero as Told |
by His Father.


Little Bonnie Moran, of Detroit, Mich,
many another young hero who has
risked life or limb to rescue the help
less, Bonnie takes the honors heaped
upon him in a modest way, and does
not admit that when he carried his lit
tie sister from his fathers burning
house he did any more than any other
boy would do.
The father of the young hero, w.
A. Moran, tells the story of the rescue
as follows in the New York Journal:
st was late in the afternoon and
the children's mother stepped out to
go to the store, leaving them alone in
the kitchen playing. She had not been
gone long when little Bonnie opened
the door leading to the back yard. He
said afterward that he had tired of
playing on the floor and was going
out in the yard to play. A sudden
draught of wind from, the. open door
caught the curtains directly over the
gasoline stove, and in an instant they
were famed into flames. Bonnie gave
a backward glance to see whether his
little sister was coming, and he saw
what had happened. The window drap-
ings had ignited and the whole wall
soon sprang into a blaze.
"As soon as he saw the flames all
over the wall he made for the side door,
which was at that time locked. He
found the key and was soon out in the
yard, in the clear air, safe from the
flames. 1t was then that he began To
think. He remembered that his little
sister was alone in the house, and he
knew that unless he brought her out
she would never come out alive. He
did not stop to think of what might
happen to himself if he again entered
the house, but he turned back into the
his way through the binding smoke TO
the center of the room.
''He found her sitting on the floor,
softly crying to herself, while the
smoke surged about her and the cruel
flames crept closer. Without any hest
tation he picked her up in his little
arms, and, half carrying, half drag

door and placed her on the sidewalk
cnharmed.
"Then the little hero started toward
neighbor's house, crying at the top OF
his voice: 'Firel Firel Papa's house
burning up!' 1t was not long then
until the fire company was on hand
and the flames were soon extinguished.
Had it not been for my little boys pres
-ence of mind and knowledge Of just
what to do first, my house would now
be in ashes and my little girl dead.
This is Bennie's second experience
with fire. A little over a year ago my |
entire family came near pershing in |
a burning building, and only escaped |
by my wife carrying them over burn |
ing floor and down a stairway of flame. |
Although their lives were saved they |
were badly burned"
