At an early hour-in fact the earliest hour
on Sunday morning last we were awakened by
q duet of male voices under our window. As
the duet was recitative, not musical we were
wide awake in an instant. Voices in our yard
at that unseemly hour meant news and we
Just simply adore news, let the hour be what it
may. Then, Hello, Mrs. -, don't you want
to come down to the telephone and find out
where that fire ?" BY this time we had our
head out the window and saw glare toward
the east and, apparently, so far away that there
was little hope of cleaning any information as
to the location. 1t required but an instant to
grasp this fact and also to realize that this was
the acceptable time to impress two "mere men,
with the fact that the twentieth century wo-
man is superior to such little failing as Curl
osity, so we promptly answered, 'No, that fire
.lor o,,1 ...slo ov.6 oIo
"All right, good night" and our informants
walked off while we sought our pillow, but
not to sleep We did want to know where that
fire was and sleep was out of the question till
we settled the matter Not to betray ourself
we got no light but CROPPED our way to the
phone and called for exchange. Lifting our
receiver from the hook we distinctly heard an
other receiver on the same line lifted and knew
that the mere men" were at the next phone
and that we had failed to impress them with
the twentieth century woman after all, for
well did they know the voice that must follow
the ring. Exchange knew nothing of the fire
so we called up Baltimore daily paper, in
which we take considerable interest, and left
them to hustle after the fire in the short time
that remained before going to press, the only
assistance we offered being the suggestion that
it was many miles from Harrisonville, was
big fire and probably near, or in the direction,
of Ruxton. Then we really went to sleep.
