in from all sides. and are being filed as rapidly
as the stamps can be forwarded by registered

CITY FIRE FIGHTERS.
The Deadly PerIIs They Encounter In Sa'

A great tenement house was burning
like finder wood III one of the poorest
quarters of the metropolis. Tho stairs
had gone up in smoke before everybody
had left the building, and even the fire
escape down the outside of the building
was cut off by the hot flames from the
lower windows, which had already
peeled off L part of it. \ young girl Of
II or 10 was frantically shrieldng for
help i'll one of the top windows, and Il
mother was wrinSing her hands i'll pitt
full despair down i'll the street.
The chief called for volunteers to
save the girl and three men came for
ward on the instant, without hesitation
and without awaiting to count their
chances for success. This is tho custom
i'll such cases, for no one would take the
responsibility of ordering a fireman to
his possible death.
\ strong young fellow who had yet
to win his spurs was selected for the
task, and he disappeared quickly
through the doorway of the adjoining
building. When next the crowd saw
him he appeared at the window just
under the roof and, graspins the tin
cornice Of the burning building next to
him. he swung out into the air and
made his way, hand over hand. for 80
feet through the dense smoke that rose
i'll black clouds from the lower windows
TO the sill where the girl was seen.
She had fallen back into the room
unconscious and was overcome with
smoke by the time he reached her. \
thousand anxious faces III the street be-
low were tortured with fear for the
hero, hundred muttered prayers went
up for his safety as the fireman disap-
peared into the black cloud, and thou
sand throats sent up a lusty shout of re-
lief as he appeared again at the window

the girl il his arms.-Harper's Round
