BUFFALO, N. Y, March 1S.-Wil-
liam Rumohr went to bed in a board
ing house at So Eagle street and be-
cause of the cold he pulled gas heater
close to the bed and lighted 1t and
floated off to slumber.
Some hours later Sergt. Jordan
pounding the cold flags on Eagle street
In the bitter wind heard screams from
the house, saw a window yanked open,
and a flaming pillow flung far into the
street. A figure in white rushed mad
ly to the corner, gave a despairing
look for fire alarm and disappeared.
Through the smoke in the hall Sergt.
Jordan saw more figures in white. He
dashed up the stairs only to have Lena
Palma fall in his arms gasping for an
ambulance. Then she rushed into the
room from which the smoke was curl
ing and emerged presently with burn
ing bed clothes which she tossed out
of the window. The sergeant smelled
gas and walked into the room and
turned the stopcock.
Then an ambulance changed up and
q doctor rushed upstairs with his case.
on the bed whence the burning bed
clothes had been plucked.
Are you dead?" demanded the doc
tor, shaking the fellow by the shoulder.
"Huh?" queried Mr.. Rumohr.
you aren't dead, then?"
"No, but some one else will be If
you don't let me alone" growled the
belligerent fellow as he reused himself.
He looked around the room. He looked
at the officer and at the frightened
figures in the doorway.
Say" he beloved in his wrath,
where's the bed clothes and my
stove7"
Huh" remarked Sergeant Jordan as
he turned out into the cold, cheerless
street.
