Eight Flights Up.

When the first fire company, in re-
sponse to an alarm, reached the long
row of tenements, the fire captain at
once jumped from his engine and en-
deavored to locate the fire. When he
had ~tneffectually hunted through three
or four structures for it, he deserted an
old woman sticking her lead out of a
window of the topmost floor Of an
eight-story tenement, a little farther
up the street.
ANY fire up there2" he yelled when
he a reached h pavement beneath
this building.
In answer, the old woman motioned
for him to come up.
Accordingly, the captain, with his
men Juggling their heavy hose behind
them. laboriously assembled the eight
flights and burst into the room where
the old woman was.
where's the fire?" demanded the
captain, when no fire or smoke became
visible.
