I "'How bad is tip inquired, feeling
great sympathy for one who had
thus seen his hard earned accumula-
tions of years swept away in few
hours.
$50, bad enough he exclaimed, but
if only that safe you sold me has held
out, am saved from total ruin. All
my valuable papers and a considerable
sum of money, mostly in ertenbacks
and checks are in there, but l am
afraid that they are gone by the board
"'Let us hope not said [, feeling
some misgiving; for l hardly dared
hope that the safe had withstoOd the
fierce heat it had been subjected to for
three days past. For you understand,
gentlemen, that the safe had fallen to
the cellar and was covered with burnt
and burning timbers.
"When he had somewhat recovered
himself, he told me the fire had not
been discovered until it had gained
such Roadway that it was impossible to
save either the building or the con-
tents. Such fire he had never
seen. The heat was so intense that it
was not possible to get near enough to
the burning pile to throw water on it,
and from distance the spectators
could see the door hinges and iron door
stills melt and run through the floor.
While the merchant was so badly cut
up about his loss, his grief while deep
or and more poignant, was not so
emotional or narrowing to the onlook-
er as that of his wife. 1t seems that
the evening of the fire, just before
closing time, she had gone into the
store to wait for her husband to close,
so he could walk home with her. Ac-
company ing her was little black and
tan dog, which, while running about
the store had jumped into the safe,
which stood open, and there lay down.
Not knowing he was there, the mer-
chant, when ready to close, pushed
shut the door of the safe and turned
the combination, locking the dog in.
That night the fire broke out and of
course you can imagine the poor wom-
ans grief.
"Well to make long story short,
after two or three days more we got
the fire completely extinguished and
began to clear away the debris: and
after much labor got the safe out.
Sending for a blacksmith, who came
armed with cold chisels, he soon had
the safe open and we found the papers
and money and books of the firm
intact and the merchant was saved
from RUM
"The dog, Isuppose," said the black
smith, "was burned to crisp?"
"Well," remarked the drummer, "you
will have to guess again, for that poor
little dog was frozen stiff"
And the drummer walked out whist
