The Old Fireman.
Story
By JOHN II. RAFTERY.

Il was at the fire chiefs conven-
i ton, and the crowd of old gos-
sips had huddled over into corner
of the hotel parlor to swap yarns.
They told new ones about fire cranks
in various cities and about some OF
the famous fire-going characters OF
the eastern cities, and then old man
Cameron, who was never east of the
Mississippi river before, but who
can't keep away from fires and fire.
men, though he's past GO, told this
one:
"Old Chief Timmons would been
100 years old now if he'd a lived. He
never was chief, not even captain,
but he had been good fireman in his
day, and everybody in Frisco had
heard of him. He made his reputa-
ton in the old days before hard
drinking was a crime, and l guess ne
saved about rs many lives in ms
time as any one of 'em. Well, after
they fired him off the department in
every town in California, and along
the coast, from Puget Sound to San
Diego, he came back to Frisco aud
got him a loft in the alley about ten
rods from Skis engine house.
"He used to loaf around the house
most all day and half the night, wait
ing for the gong, and somehow CT
another he managed to keep pretty
well keyed up on red liquor all the
time. He wasn't bad old fellow 20
have round, neither, for he knew
how to make hand balls, and he had
more tricks of fixing up harness ON
a pinch than any man l ever sa"
But he got four or five of SKIS fell
lows into trouble on account OF let
ting him ride on the truck, and final
ly one night he was thrown off on his
head and pretty near killed. 1t took
him q year to get over that, but the
minute he was able to hobble round
with n cane he showed up at the fire.
He didn't care how far away it was.
Just so it was n big one he'd manage
TO get there. Then you ought to see

A daily bath in cold or tepid water
Is an indispensable aid in keeping the
skin of the body in good condition.
The complexion also very often suf-
fers from insufficient washing in pure
water, or, for preference, in rain wn-
ter. 1t is impossible for those of us
who live in large towns to keep the
complexion quite as blooming Nand
healthy as the inhabitants of country
districts, but more care might be fire.

him! He hated fire worse than the
devil hates holy water, and it was
just the fight in him that sent him
to every blaze of any account for
nearly ten years.
''He had a son who ran pretty
good boiler shop down near the
water front, and that's where he got
his money. Anyway, the older he
got the drunken he kept, and after
awhile he got to be such n nuisance
that the young fellows in the de-
partment would turn him over to
the police the minute he showed up
at fire. He always insisted on be-
ing right on the edge of the fire. He
had no more fear of falling walls, eS-
plosions or such dangers than n
healthy kid has of ball game. Us
older fellows had tender spot for
"Chief" Timmons, and when he
sneaked through the lines we always
let on like we hadn't seen him. We
oil knew how it hurt him to miss a
fire, and we knew that he wouldn't
last much longer, anyhow.
"The night of the Baker-Bayliss dry
goods fire in M street, the biggest
one for years, Timmons didn't show
up ut first, and an old pipeman named
GiIligan and / had just begun to talk
about him. We were standing with
