Trudging down Market street, her
skirts dragging, her sealskin sack

kerchief her face besmeared with SCOT
and perspiration. a handsome woman
was overtaken by man who had
hired a delivery wagon to carry him
to the ferry. with the single suit case
he had managed to save from the fire.
Owing to jam OF vehicles his driver
stopped when he reached this woman,
and he looked down, noticing that she
was nearly exhausted and invited her
cordially to share the seat with him
and ride to the ferry. Without wait
ing to hear her response, he jumped to
the ground and extended his hand to
assist her over the wheel. ''Who are
your she demanded. WELL" said
the fellow. .T am just like a lot more.
getting out OF town with what ! have
left and with money enough to bire a
wagon to carry me. Won't you come
along?" She said: II am afraid to
trust anybody" "Oh. WELL" said he.
II am a newspaper correspondent" :"
And the weary woman simply leaned
toward him with sigh of relief and
the young fellow lifted her on to the
wagon seat, himself standing behipI
her, holding her in place by the st.oul-
ders. AS they proceeded to tbs ferry
she told him her story. Sba unbound
her left hand. glittering. blazing in a
flood Of white light thousands Of dia-
monds, mems rings. and ladies' rings
crowded on every finger and even her
thumb. tied with thread that none
should drop off. She opened a small
handbag which she carried and show
ed him a fortune in beautiful jewelry
and precious stones. She explained
that she was the wife of a jeweler, who
had gone to see how his safe had
passed through the conf1agration: that
she had started from Golden Gate Park,
where she had slept. and had wrapped
her hand to conceal the diamonds. In
the hurry and rush she had dropped
her purse, containing a few dollars In
silver. Afraid to ask for assistance
for fear she might be robbed or worse,
she was making her way slowly down
toward the ferry over the bricks and
the cobbles and piles of rubbish, pant
ing with fear and exhaustion. She
told her rescuer that she undoubtedly
would have fallen on the ground be-
fore she reached safety.
When they reached the ferry her
husband was waiting for her. Her
rescuer, when he saw her, In safe
hands. disappeared in the multitude.
