Never mind how I went away l
was feeling for the poor unfortunates
just the same. Twelve thousand peo-
pie persisted in the flames of their
houses, and yet at least eleven thou
sand five hundred might have been
saved. Just think of that"
Then why weren't they saved?"
For the want of fire escapes to assist
them to the ground. Every building
should have been provided with them,
but they weren't. Such careIessness is
simply criminal"
Mr.. Bowser, have you gone and let
some one take you in again?" asked
Mrs. Bowser after long look at him
Taken in.' he shouted. Whoever
took me in? Woman, explain yourself.
L thought it was about time you said
something mean"
You have invested in fire escapes
three different times, and none of
them amounted to anything. You
didn't dare to try one of them. even
in the daytime and no fire around. I
came across one yesterday in the
storeroom. Is it a fire escape in the
bundle ?"
ut is, and I don't want to hear
seven words from you. I don't pro-
pose to be baked here some night like
a fresh ham. If you want to die that
way go ahead. Yes, I have invested
in fire escapes, and to spite me you
have tinkered with them and rendered
them useless. I should just like to
catch you tinkering with this onel"
And he walked up and down the
room and glared at her and snorted
at the cat and let it be known that
he was the boss of that domicile Mrs.
Bowser waited five minutes and then
asked:
well, what about this one?"
you don't deserve to be told. but
