No 462 Sixth-st. Brooklyn, she feared an in
cendiary was at work, and informed the police
of the Fifth-ave. station. An Investigation was
made by the Fire Department, and evidence
was found of three fires which had apparently
been started with paper. None of the fires did
any special damage.
On the theory that the fires were the work of
a child, Captain Reynolds went TO Mrs. Devins's
home on Tuesday and closely questioned one Of
the children, Eveline who is ten years old. The
child finally told the captain she had started
little paper fra on the bathtUb, but meant no
harm She only wanted TO see the blaze of the
paper. Mrs. Devins astOniShed at what the
