HANN0N HOME NARROWLY
 ESCAPES DESTRUCTION


 The family residence of Mrs. T. E. Harmon, 503 South Perry street, caught on fire about o'clock yesterday morn ing. and only the prompt arrival and efficient work of the department avert ed dangerous conflagration.
 The fire Is said to have started un- derneath the house. Fyom that point it is believed to have crept up between the weather boarding and the-lathing until 1t emerged from the roof.
 Members of the city street sweeping force discovered the blaze. and an alarm was immediately sent in. When the department reached the scene flames were bursting from the roof, and the entire north side of the house was enveloped in flames. The firemen set to work promptly and in a short while had the fire under control. IL was extinguished without having burned the house, though the furni- ture and fittings of the house suf- fered to a considerable extent from water and smoke. The property was fully insured.
 The cause of the fire is something of a mystery. It is supposed that an ash pit or uniusuIated electric wire was responsible for the blaze.

 Confident that | had succeeded In | 'rousink Maslta's curiosity. and that if left alone she would plague herself with doubts as to the meaning of my strange conduct, I ordered Pepita not to go to her again until the following morning.
 Locking the door of the fortress went back to the farmstead, as had promised Moita that would return there for the evening meal. I was late and found her in an i'll temper
 She questioned me about Masita: and from time to time the sharp glances she cast at me and the trend of her almost suspicious questions led me to conclude that, as Pepita had told me. someone had been trying to open her eyes to the reason of the change in me. sa x

Rufus Wallingford is the greatest character of the underworld since Rallies, and he operates in a higher plane. But in this week sissue of T THESATURDAY EVENING PoST J. Rufus gets his. He joins the most extensive club in the world, "The Down and Out Club"
 The game looked good to start with. Meers, himself, told him, :" You're an honor to the family. I didn't suppose there were many more games left, but you've sprung a new one, and it's beach, .
 But life turns yellow to J. Rufus, and even his wife has to, admit that "upon missiles grow no roses" The story is called a "Fortune in Smoke. " It makes a hit with us, and 1t will with you.
 Another story in this weeks issue of THE SATURDAY EVENING POST is "The White. Light of Publicity" by Charles Belmont Davis, in which the hero asserts that "Women do not commit sui cide,'" and toward the end, although he does not assert it, he seems on the point of committing matrimony.
