gentlemanly little fellow, forgetting
his own troubles. I'll help you look
for her after school. Come along, the

Freddie tried not to think OF mis-
trouble during school hours, though
glance at the half dozen empty seats
brought it all back to him. At recess
he gave the stickiest, sweetest part or
his bun to Emily to comfort her for the
loss of her kitten, and after school he
hurried to her, saying as he took her

with some little. animal which they
were trying to make serve them for
sport and pastime. "Oh!' cried Emily,
heart brokenly, otis my own dear
kitty! Those wicked boys are teasing
it to DEATH" F'reddies heart sank.
How could he get it away from them?
He was only one among so many and
not looked upon with much favor after
the incident of the morning. Yet
sight of Emily's distressed face made
him grow bold. Boys" he said, adj

plunged in, dressed as he was, after
the drowning animal. He caught il. just
as it rose, sputtering, and then swan
swiftly to shore, restored the little

But Fred did mind very much, and
tears gathered to- his eyes and almost
overlooked as he walked on toward
school, all the stiffness and starch
seeming to have disappeared from his
disconsolate little figure. Maybe it was
partly true what Frank had said. Fred

mont, and Citizens Fight Flames
With Bucket srisads-euiIdins Next

by Heroic Work.

Fire which broke out at about g.: 80
Thursday evening entirely destroyed
the Malloy hotel and most of it's con-
tents at Rhodes. The loss on building
and furniture is estimated at $500 to
$1,000, and the insurance is $1,400.
Flames were first discovered in the
roof and their origin is not known.
Rhodes has no organized fire depart
ment and the towns facilities for fight
ing fire are therefore meager. But the
citizens turned out en- masse and by
heroic and well directed efforts saved
at least the business portion of the
town from destruction. "A frame build
ing owned by Mr. Campbell, of Col
Inns, adjoined the hotel. This building
was ignited several times and for a
time it seemed impossible to save it.
A bucket brigade was promptly formed
and worked systematically and effec-
lively.
Had high wind prevailed nothing
could have prevented disastrous con-
flagration, particularly along that
side of the street, on which the burned
hotel was situated.
