the third floor on the Broadway side and
some one threw a lighted cigarette on It.
The canvas shade began to blaze merrily
and then there were doings. A motorman
on Broadway car was the first TO discover
the blaze. He brought his car to a quick
stop, leaped off and rushed into the lobby
Of the hotel Hey! Don't you know your
house is afire7" he yelled to the clerk.
There was rush by clerks, porters and
walters to the sidewalk. The board Of
political strategy in the amen corner ceased
it's deliberations.
With Herr Rocco In the lead this valorous
band soon reached the sidewalk and stood
beneath the burning awning. A flaming
bit OF canvas deserted the awning post
and fiokered to the street. 1t almost
nestled In the golden whiskers Of Quarter
master Fuller, who realized his danger
but never batted an eye.
Leutenants Nagle and Hamer also stood
on the firing line without wincing.
A gang OF porters rushed into the room,
which was unoccupied, and opened the
window where the awning was ablaze.
But little chap with half barred legs was
ahead Of them. He scampered out on the
balcony and went up the fire escape hand
over hand until no got near enough to tear
the awning from its fastening. The porters
then doused the thing with pitchers Of
water.
The little fellow did the job we'll and got
great round Of applause from big crowd
in the street. The boy was George Mapes,
years old. He halls from Macomb,
ILL.,. and is stopping at the hotel with his
mother and aunt.
The excitement wasn't over with the
porters' soaking the awning. Some one
In the street sounded frebox alarm, and
soon FIVE engines and rs many hose wagons,
three trucks, one water tower and two
battalion chiefs came changing UP in front
Of the hotel.
In twinkling Broadway and Twenty
third street were iammed. Firemen In big
boots and red hats and carrying pixies and
axes s.alked into the hotol and stalkod out
again. Most OF them cursed, somethin

pointed. The crowd grew to such propor-

MACKEREL

New York. Nov 3.--Several hundred
thousand Of young mackerel wandered
from the Grand Banks off Newfoundland
and got stranded here. The fast reced-
ing tide. blown out by a stiff so'west
wind. left schools Of the shiny. tender fish
high and nearly dry in the little pools
and swampy land around the Inlet below
Pelham bay. In the Bronx were enough
iish yesterday to feed IT for a month. And
It so' the fish gratis; had only to scoop
81 up.
IL wns fuil moon Wedn ssdav ard the
tide I'm the inlet WAS very high yesterday
morning About 10 o'clock IL began TO
ebb and In 20 minutes II fell two or three
feet so that many pools. half hidden I'm
tall grass had no more than one inch
of water left I'm them. One hundred
workmen are building bridge across the
inlet for the Pelham Bay & City Island
railroad. a branch OF the New Haven road.
After the tide fell so fast some OF the
workmen, looking down from tho bridge.
saw the swampy ground glittering like
tho spangled gown OF milady who
waltzes.
The innocent fish from the Newfound-
lhf1t Banks had no: been quick enough

on the fast ebbing tide. Twisting turn

merable fish. from seven 10 eight inches

tive bays thereabouts
Running down. the workmen easily and
quickly caught more flsh than they could
carry. One OF them. George @. Doyle,
who knows as much about FISH as did lzaak
Walton, said:
"Every four or Ave years this hap

Little schools OF fish get lost from tho
great schools that the Newfoundland
fishermen go after and they come ashore
somewhere. These young mackerel are

The news spread. Frugal housewives
hurried 10 the inlet, and filled their
buckets and tin pans; small boys weighted
themselves down with tho helpless prey
and ran home to be joyously welcomed.
The man who boards rome of the bridge
builders filed two barrels with mackerel
In half an hour and sent after more bar
rels.

echoed with Help yourself to the mack

18 DESERT
TO STAY
WITH GIRLS

Cincinnati. Nov. 3.-of Al men who de-
serted from the Twenty-seventh u. s.
Infantry two months ago when IL was
ordered from Fort Thomas, KY, to Fort
Sheridan, Chicago. at least Is were inn
PEELED to risk Imprisonment rather than
leave their sweethearts.
Captain Robert Harrott, who is here
hunting for the deserters. says that he
is sure that almost all OF them left Uncle
Sam in the lurch for the same sentimental
reason.
Many OF the men. when the regiment
was transferred. went 10 the homes OF
their sweethearts and lay hidden thero
until they thought themselves safe
Soldiers at Fort. Thomas are always
popular with the young women OF this re-
gion. who are unable 10 resist the attrac-
tions OF uniforms and almost every boy
in blue has a sweetheart, but it's rather
unusual TO find the attachment so great
that the man will desert rather than leave
the girls behind them.
