Aunt Mandy is an old colored woman
who for years has done washing for

Miss Josie. There amt no tims~f
lose." And he fell to work.
AS an example of muscular Chris
tianity the parson was no laggard and
the gospel Of works was fully demon
strated that March Sunday when he
laid down rod and staff to help Jake
Alders escue cattle and hogs.
The sun was climbing over the cy-
press brakes when they arrived at
Jake's cabin. The children, breakfast
less and forlorn, were huddled upon
the doorstep. At sight of Miss Josie
and her leather trunk on Jake's Shout
der they came swarming about her
skirts. "Oh. goody, she's goin' to stay!"
announced JENNA, Jake's eldest as
she planted the baby tn Miss Josie's
arms with a gesture Of fnality.
All day long the muddy tide crept
over the land. It entered the dusty
road in thin streams. widening until
road and dooryard, barnyard and pas
ture disappeared. Jake stood eying
the pile Of lumber US the water sucked
and gurgled beneath him. The parson
squared his shoulders. Eyes, Brother
Alders, there Is no time like the pres
ent," and the sound Of hammer and
saw rang over tho ripping tide as the
parson wrought for these sheep Of his
pasture. Ten o'clock saw the last nail
as the high March wind sent the first
wave over the cabin sill Miss Josie
settled the children and the household
belongings with some degree Of COM
fort, but the parson and Jake could
not stand upright under the low raft
ers.
The irregular beat Of dugout pad
dies came around the bend, and the
parson stepped outside, while Jake
stood lingering his hat and glancing
sidewtse at Miss Josie where she sat
in the low rocker, bending over the
drowsy baby. The other children slept
upon the mattress. She lifted her head
as the parson paused in the doorway,
a bit Of yellow paper between his fin
gers, and behind him. peering over
his shoulder, the station agent and
Jake's young brother Lem.
Brother Alders, the clerk wires me
that he has issued the license"
Miss Josie arose, the sleeping baby
against her shoulder. The warm lit
tie body nesting there in drowsy help
lessness stirred and woke the primal
woman, virginia. and shy, that slept
below the crest Of years. Her keen
gray eyes softened with a new light
above the sallow cheek. where the
long banished bushes burned beneath
Jake's ardent brown gaze. At her
feet his children slept.
The parson raised his hand, and
Jake blundered to Miss Josie's side,
his tall head STOPPING to avoid the
rafters. Over the lap-lap Of the waves
beneath them, over the keening of the
wind in the cypress brakes, the par
sons voice rose in solemn sentences,
and then he was saying goodby, and
the faces We're gone from the doorway.
Miss Josie took refuge behind the
with the other children, and down the
road she heard the parson singing as
he padded into the night.
And when the long May days came
to the Barraclaw, newly risen from
the chrism Of the waters and teeming
with the gifts of Father Messasabe,
the first Mrs. Alders received due need
of song and service, thoroughly Or
dered by Mrs. Alders the second.

Scranton. Pa. Jan. lS.-Four girls
were killed, ten seriously injured and
a score or more slightly hurt at a
ere in the Imperial Knitting com.
pany's mill in Dix court. in the cen

Eghty-hVe girls were at work in
the third door when a Gre broke out
on the ground floor. where some men
were vanishing furniture In a ware
house. Il quickly assembled the elevator
shaft and drove the girls panic
stricken to the one window opening
on the FIRE escape. The fire escape Is
one of those In which the last reach
OF stairs is held in a horizontal post
ton by a weight and pulley device
The girls first to reach this were
afraid TO descend il when they saw its
far end moving downward. This
caused a jam. The girls on the upper
part OF the FIRE escape were crowding
those in front. and all the time the
flames and smoke were envelopinC
them. BY the time the fremen had
arrived half OF them had jumped.
some Of them from the third floor
Men from the neighborhood soon ar
rived and held the swinging portion
Of the fire escape so that its end re-
NAMED stationary on the ground. and
the girls who had not jumped were
being helped down. when the fremen
came and With their ladders rescued
those who were jammed on the upper
stretches OF the IRE escape. Many OF
the girls were saved by being caught
as they Jumped. One colored man. who
caught a girl who jumped from the
third floor was badly injured. He was
helped away and his identity lost.
There was only one exit. a narrow
hallway. besides the fire escape. and
this hallway was cut on by FIRE and
smoke.
The fact that many OF the girls
tainted and further impeded the mar
row IRE escape added to the difficulty
Some OF the injured girls deny that
they Jumped. alleging that they were
pushed over the railing by other
girls. who were crowded against them
by others behind.
The whole interior OF the building
