CHAPTER xxv-Contlnued
Franklin burst open the door, and
they both went in, half pausing. There
was that which might well give them
pause. The table was gone. the chairs
were gone. The interior was nearly
denuded, SO that the abode lay like an
abandoned house, drifted half full Of
dry, fine powdered snow. And even
this snow upon the floors had no
tracks upon its surface. There was
no sign of life.
Awed, appalled,, the two men stood,
white and huge, in the middle of the
abandoned room, listening for that
which they scarce expected to hear.
Yet from one of the side rooms they
caught moan, a call, supplication.
Then from a door came a tall and
white-faced figure with staring eyes.
which held out it's arms to the taller
OF the snow-shrouded forms and said:
Uncle, is 1t you? Have you come
back? We were so afraid" From
the room behind this figure came a
voice sobbing, shouting, blessing the
name of the Lord. So they knew that
two were saved, and one was miss
ing. They pushed into the remaining
room. "Auntie went away" said the
tall and white-faced figure, shuddering
and shivering. "She went away into
her room. We could not find the
fence any more. Uncle, is it you?

insufficient, lay Mrs. Buford, her face
white and still and marble-cold. They
found her with the picture of her hus-
band clasped upon her breast.
"She went away" sobbed Mary Ell
len, leaning her head upon Franklin's
shoulder and still under the hallucina-
ton of the fright and strain and suf-
fering. She seemed scarce to under
stand that which lay before them, but

Lack of Fire Escapes
at St. Vincent's Hospital


DR.. G. V. Wooden, a member of the COM
mittee representing the medical society
which visited the City Hospital, said yes
terday that many improvements are need
ed at the institution and that there should
be no delay in securing them. The COM
mittee inspected the hospital thoroughly
and was convinced that steps should be
taken towards fulfilling its needs at once.
The committee will formulate a report,
which will be submitted to Mayor Holtz-
man, pointing out in detail the condition
of the hospital as It was found. Dr. NJ j.
Spencer has also promised to furnish Mayor
Hoffman a statement as TO the hospital 5
condition. The mayor has not decided yet
whether he will ask the Council to make
the appropriation at the regular meeting to-
morrow night.
AS yet steps have been taken towards
ascertaining the needs OF the other hos
pitfalls of the city, although il is a we'll
known fact that in many cases improve
ments should be made-especially in re-
spect TO fire facilities. St Vincents Hos
pital is practically without fire escapes, and
had the fire which occurred there several
weeks ago been G serious one a score or
more OF lives might have been lost.

Charles Johnson Helped Himself
in the Home of Samuel Gerber,
but Had to Disgorge.

Betrayed by his fondness for fine clothes,
Charles Johnson, negro, who was ar

Detective Gerber, 'but you can't have

gro approached the home of Detective Ger
Der and asked Mrs. Gerber, who was just
starting down town. if he could cut the
grass. Mrs. Gerber told him that there was
no work for him to do. and continued on
her way. II is supposed that the negro
forced an entrance to the house as soon
as she out of sight. and deliberately
helped himself. He donned pair of
trousers, took a brand new suit a gold
watch belonging to Mrs. Gerber, several
other articles of ladies' jewelry, a pair of
gold-rimmed glasses, a revolver and a
razor.
When Mrs. Gerber returned she saw that
some one had been in the house. and as
soon as they discovered what had been
stolen. Detective Gerber ad To he
secondhand store in the neghborhood. In
the very first place he visited he found
his suit of clothes and secured a descrip-
ton of the negro. This, with the descrip-
ton furnished by Mrs. Gerber, enabled him
to Identify the negro even before the in
eliminating trousers were seen.
