Baby's Dollies Burned
The horrid fire came and burned my

This was the one lament of little
four -year-old Rachel Wellington, the
child who narrowly escaped being
burned to death yesterday.
There were scratches on her face and
scratches on her poor little knees, but
these did not have any part in her
thought. It was of her babies-her
little make believe babies, as real to
Rachel in time of danger as she was
to her mother--that she thought.
"Helen was burned and mamma just
put a new head on her and she was
the one / named after mamma. Rachel
Was burned up, too, and now they are
both dead continued the baby girl.
When asked if she was frightened
when she saw the flames, she replied:
There were no flames, only just fire
and black smoke that hurt my eyes"
She did not seem at all proud of the
fact that she had cried. When asked
about It she nodded and hid her face.
"The flames they took our house
away. Not our real house, but the
house where we were sleeping. Every
thing was all nice and then the next
thing the whole world was full of fire
and we had to run. Mamma dragged
me and that's how / got these
scratches. She had to drag me or l
would have been burned like my dol
