firemen are in the hospital and three
more are in the ruins o. Knox's five

tonight gutted the structure. The
building, three stories high, was to-

is working among the debris. One
man was rescued alive, but was badly
burned. The bodies of two others
have not yet been found. The flames
started in the basement, 1t is said
and soon spread. The upper floors
were occupied by Offices and a school.
The firemen battled with the flames
from the roof and third floor, when
suddenly the whole interior of the
structure gave way, carrying eight OF
the firemen to the first floor and the
basement.

something's in the wind. l look for .

of it, rather. 1t has already happened,
I'm sure; but the owners are keeping
dark till they can buy in all the stock
at bedrock figures.
Goodnight, little Star! These long
weeks have been years to me. When
I come you'll see different Gideon
the same heart, though-and you'll
think me better than the old Gideon,
your lover always"
1t was his first mans letter to Stel-
la. She marveled at his fluency, yet
recalled their childish game of post
office and his smoothly worded though
k-blotted epistles.
Who was Gideon? Many times she
had asked this question Of him, once
of her father. He told her that Gideon
was waif, and bade her think Of
something else.
She started from the window with
sudden, unaiming energy, as il she
would shake free a. hand already
grasping her. The sharp rap and dull
thump Of Alvin's alternating crutch
and shoe came down the@street, vel
come sounds to her.
Like q draught Of cool air on q hot
cheek came his merry voice.
Are you here, Miss Stellar" he
asked, poking his head through the
door into the dim room. "You stood
at the window q minute ago"
"Yes; and so glad to see you, Al
vim Come in"
II can't stop minute. Here's some
stun that's been on my mind ever
since it went through on the wire be-
fore daylight yesterday. It's Choctaw
to me. Some mans cipher, all right;
but I'll bet cookie that's Blowhard

Stella looked up quickly, apprehen'
sion In her face. THAT means"
Some deviltry to our company.
Say! You know everything; maybe
you can figure it out. And say! Nuns

on. You'll see! How'll they catch
him? And, anyway, the, fellers he's
working for In San Francisco IL save
him. They'll have to, If they save

Alfred was needless. He was read
ing the second dispatch. "A. c.. &

"Good heavens!" Alfred cried, drop

reaching for slip and pencil. "This is

''Nine-five! Got a San Francisco

"Yes; but it's several days old"

Doors were flung open and anxious
eyes peered into darkness, watching
