Of it was the Russian peasant woman,
frantically trying to save some of her
household goods by dragging them
with one hand further from the course
Of the fire, while in one arm she clutch
ed the baby, around which she had
thrown wet shawl to protect it from
the heat.
why didn't you run?" cried Alice,
as she jumped from the horse; don't
you see, the fire Is almost on you? You
can't save your things; run for the
creek! Run, say, or you'll be burned
to deathw
Alice caught the child from the
woman's arms and sprang up into the
saddle as best she could. The woman
stood as If stupefied, the red glow from
the'coming flames lighting up her stolld
face. The fire was coming on faster
now. they could hear the roar and
crackle as it swept through the long,
man-high grass Of the swale beyond
the fence.
Quick! quick, I say! no, you can't
run fast enough now to get to the
creek; jump behind me, quick! quick!
or we shall all be burned. l can't leave
you here to diev'
The woman's stolld nature was
aroused at last by the animal fear of
danger, and while the heat grew more
Intense every minute, she clambered
up behind Alice.
Prince Halls face was toward the
fire. He had not moved since he
reached the spot; he seemed like some
beautiful statue, his body motionless,
his ears sharp erect, his nostrils dis
tended; the awful fascination of the
fire was upon him.
Alice pulled at the bit to turn him.
He paid no attention. She spoke
sharply, but he only moved uneasily;
he would not stir from the spot. Swift
er than an electric shock came the
thought to her mind that horses IN
burning buildings would stay and die
in the flames before they would be led
out 1t would be impossible to reach
the creek on foot; in half minute
more the flames would be on them.
Snatching the wet shawl from the baby
with one hand, and swinging the child
backward to its mother with the other
she threw the shawl over the horses
head. With the sight of the fire shut
out he quivered, turned as the bit gave
him a sharp twist, and, just as the
flames were leaping over the sheds
hard by the house, he sprang away.
1t was a race for life now-for three
lives; for the wind had increased to a
gale, and there is nothing more terrible
In this world than such a relentless
ocetn Of flame as was rolling over the
grass-grown plain.

vice:

The train records show that in the week
ending Jan. p there were received and for
warded al indianapolis total Of q, 1895 cars,
2D,64s being loaded and $3.50 empty. The in
crease in number of empty cars handled is
evidence that the car famine is being re-
leved and that the roads will be better able
to take care Of their local business, which
has suffered more than their through bust
ness for some weeks past. Last week there
were 573 more loaded cars handled at In
dianapolis than in the corresponding week
of 1898, when the increased volume of traffic
In that year began to be felt; 3,746 more than
in the corresponding week of 1897, LAP more
than in 1896, 1880 more than in 1895, and 1907
more than in 1884 In fact, in no former
winter month has the tonnage of freight
handled equaled that of the present year,
and the orders for cars are evidence that
present conditions will continue for some
time to come, at least until the opening of
lake navigation The opening of the part
ran and part water routes is no longer as
important feature as in years past, as the
rates of the all-rail lines are so low that
many of the shippers no longer patronize
the part water and part rail routes, more
especially shippers over the midland lines.
Another thing which is helping the midland
lines is that the gulf lines are not receiving
the patronage they did at the corresponding
period last year. Local lines are beginning
TO realize that their business of a local
character has been neglected, and now that
the car situation is easing up shippers at
way stations begin to feel that they can do
some business. Never in the history of In
annapolis lines was there so much freight
