Man Asleep in House.

1t so happened that James ~ Dent,
colored was far away in the land of
dreams during all this time, and when a
thrilling cry of fire penetrated his dead
ened ears he smiled in his sleep, but
he soon got over his elated state and
hoped out of bed quicker than any other
man was ever known to leave the covers
on a cold and frosty morning. He was
not so much interested in getting warm
as he was in putting the fire out, so
while the scouts from the Owl warmed
their toes Dent and Cornell and Con-
ductor Vernon threw water and smashed
things until the cheeful little blaze was
eXtinguished.
Dent and the firefghters were of the
opinion that some one had tried TO de-
stroy the house. and told the police when
thew arrived that the odor of burning oil
was apparent during the excitement, and
also that burned matches were found
near the door
Dent is understood TO be very thankful
that the owl appeared just when 1t DID,
because in a few minutes il would have
taken more than d conductor and
motorman and d handful of passengers
from a trolley car to save his house and
his life AS it is. he escaped with bot
da mage.

it is known as Burgess point. because
a prominent yacht designer once lived
there.
AS Robert Dawson Evans owns two
houses on the point It is customary for
the natives TO refer to the cottage
which the president will occupy as the
Stetson cottage. because it was once
owned and occupied for several sea
sons by John Stetson, a theatrical
ton.
Beautifully adapted for a restful
summer vacation as it is. the summer
home of the Taft family IS by no
means as luxurious as many estates
of the north shore. There is nothing
ostentatious about it. There are in
the environs palatial residences. with
costly formal gardens and complete
working out of elegance which pro-

White House az Washington There
are few north shore estates, however,
which more closely approach all of the
requirements of a family seeking &C
