portion in a single night. We were
several blocks away from the fire and
on the hill, so we could look right
down over the burning district.
When. about midnight, the wind
sprang up and the flames began to
sweep up the hill, everyone in our
vicinity began to pack his or her trunk
and tie up bundles ready for hurried
exit to the golf links just beyond.
One woman, having put on two of her
best dresses. one over the other. both
having trains and a froufrou of lace,
capped them with heavy fur cape of
which she was especially fond, al
though the mercury was standing well
over the nineties. Andorned in this
fashion she la gan with infinite vigor
to pump water and drag about boxes,
bundles and trunks, the PRECIPITATION
meanwhile rolling down her face in
streams
another woman. an invalid. whose
wordrobe for the last few years had
been confined mainly to wrappers re
marked serenely, Well. it is some
thing to be thankful for in a case like
this that you haven't much to lose,'
and sat herself down in composure to
await results. Still another, the wife
of a prominent army officer in the
Philippines, ran from window to win
dow and door to door. holding cold
curling iron tightly fastened to her
hair. A fourth, a Berkeley girl,
spending her vacation in Prescott,
packed her trunk and dragged the
family carriage to the door, the horse
having escaped in the excitement.
She declared her intention of filing it
with the family valuables and putting
herself between the shafts to tote the
things to place of safety. A neigh
Dor, young married woman, gathered
up her bird and a pet chicken, but re-
nounced all allegiance to her trous-
seau and her valuabel wedding gifts.
Another carefully packed into hand
bag some embroideries she was doing
and never thought of her diamonds,
worth hundreds of dollars.
"The climax was reached, however,
when a large woman. still in the gar
ments of the night, appeared upon the
streets pushing before her baby cart,
in which she had entirely forgotten to
put the baby. A lusty bowling from
the abandoned infant recalled her to
her senses, and the re-cart was re-
versed. New York Tribune.
