BY George, that So" shouted the
volunteer salvage corps. ''Tll run up
and see"
On the landing he found jenkins
with Mrs. jenkins hat on his head
and cat in his arms, struggling vail
antly to keep Mrs. Jenkins from dash
ing back into the fat There was not
even cloud of smoke in the rooms.
I'VE haven't got car fare" walled
Jenkins, as the cat finally managed to
escape from his arms.
Save yourselves!" yelled Virgins,
There isn't a moment to lose"
Just then the glare that had lighted
up the neighborhood suddenly died
out The fremen had directed a
stream of water where it would do the
most good on the house next door and
it was all off. The crowd of specta-
tors scurried away in the darkness
and the hose companies began Keeling
up. Virgins looked at Jenkins rather
doubtfully.
81 don't believe we're on fire after
all,' he said. 1t looks as if the dan
ger were about over"
What do you think we'd better
do?" asked Jenkins, peering out
through the window to where the fire
department was leaving for home.
We'll, for one thing" Mrs. jenkins
suggested tartly, you might take of
my hat"
And then Virgins crept downstairs
and brought in the center table and
other things from the lawn and told
his wife there was no sense in getting
excited over little smoke.
