THE CRY OF FIRE
The Magic Word That Always
Blots Out Duty.
(Prizal

0NE day a couple Of years ago
y when we lived in the coun-
Try, mother told me to post
letter on the way home from
school. She said it was very i'm
portant and must go out that
night. AS it was mile and
half from our house to the letter
box, I thought that I was not
very apt to forget. AS soon as
school was out I went over tt
the letter box. Just as I raised
the lid to deposit the letter
cry of "Fire!' distracted my
attention.
About block away a bright
red flame was leaping out Of a
window. I ran toward it and just
as arrived opposite the house
an engine and hose cart came
tearing around the corner. From
that moment until I went home
at 6 O'Clock, my thoughts were
never farther from a letter box.
I was reminded Of it, tho, as
soon as I went into the house,
and the next hour was spent in
walking to and from the letter
box. I think the walk quickened
my memory in regard to letter
boxes in general, for since then
I have never forgotten to post
letter that was given me for
that purpose.
