Ray obeyed the command. The
stranger quickly rifed Rays pockets !;
pulled open the. drawers of the desk

With a revolver that was in one of the
drawers, backed out Of the room and
rushed down the stairs into Lime

alarm.
Ray does not know just how much
money was taken, but it was about
$1,000, some of it being in $40 and
$40 gold pieces.
The name Of the stranger is not

a sudden and terrific fire
had taken possession, and
it could be seen that
many persons, men and
women, in the building,
were in imminent dan
ger of their lives. Scores
of these were taking
frightful risks in attempt
ing to save themselves;
jumping from high places,
swinging from windows,
crowding escape-ways and
fighting for chances.
Mingled with the commo-
ton was the roaring of
the fire, the screams of
women and the shouts of
men.
One woman stood alone
on a projecting stone
Gaping, above the high
main entrance to the
building. Driven by the
dense smoke she had
clambered through a win
dow and had reached this
place of temporary safety.
She was frenzied with
fear and would have
thrown herself down to
almost certain death, or
at any rate, the cost of
broken bones.
Dawson, without wait
ing for the vehicle in
which he was riding, to
halt, flung open it's door
and sprang to the pave
ment, calling upon the
woman to hold her place
and he would help her
down.

cab drove away with Sam Dawson. Nan flew
to her room, dabbing her dainty little handker-
chief alternately at her eyes.
Mr.. Samuel Dawson was interested with some
capitalists in a concession of land away down
Vera Cruz, in Mexico. He had less money in
the venture than any of the others, but he brought
more youth, vigor and personal activity to the
enterprise than any else, and he had there
with, as good a share in the investment any of
his associates, for he to be the superintendent
the spot with fair salary for that. The COM
pany would cultivate tropical stuff much in
demand in the world, and the scheme was alto
gether fair proposition.
crisp winter day it was, and early in the fore
noon, when Dawson gave goodbye to Nan Hunt
ington, his fance at the superb home of her
father in -- Avenue, and was driven to the
railway station whence his luggage had pre-
coded him.
when within few blocks of the station and
Dawson's cab was passing a great factory,
black volume of smoke burst from many of the
windows and doors of the structure showing that
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1908-07-12

The outburst of the fire had been sudden that
part of the fire department had yet reached
the scene, but the opening of so many doors and
windows had given the smoke such draft that
the main hallway was comparatively cleared of
the suffocating element for the moment
Dawson dashed into the hallway and up one
flight of stairs. He reached the window from
which the woman had escaped and holding with
one hand to an iron hook in the wall, at the
windows edge reached out with the other arm,
caught the girl and swung her into the room.
Then with mouth closed, and not daring to
breathe, he carried the now swooning girl quickly
to the street, and not knowing just then what
else to do bore her to the cab that had halted on
the opposite side of the street, and placing her
within directed the driver to go quickly to the
station.
Being acquainted with the matron OF the
waiting-rooms of the station Dawson hurriedly
explained to her the situation, gave the girl into
her charge, with a substantial bank note, and hav-
ing obtained the matrons promise to look after
the girl and send her home when she had sui
ficiently recovered, he made rush for his train
and reached it, barely in time much to the relief
of his office man. who had been sent to look after
the checking of his baggage.
&c. by proper and usual stages, Mr. Samuel
Dawson went on to his destination, the region
of chili-con-carne, tabasco, mahogany, coffee and
things, away down in Mexico.
There never has been a more useless and dis
honorable lie, dressed in the garb of a proverb-
which is common in proverbs-than the state
ment that "All is fair in love and war;
1t is not necessary to discuss this statement
because any intelligent individual who will con-
consider the proposition for moment will agree
