O'Rourke had no intention of leav-

Five days had elapsed since that

gratuity larger than his ebbing means

Guerrah by the first daily train, and
so now found himself on the direct
line of communication with Algiers
and the Governor-General

the future and the Pool of Flame;

unknown. simultaneously he was
aware OF clicking sound, followed by
the sensation of being unable to move
his feet; and then, the clouds clearing

that the cold upon his wrists was that

Midnight Blaze Due to Rub
bisi, Pile Threatens Two
Buildings

Fire broke out in the Star block al
kukuf and Fort streets shortly be-
fore midnight last night, and drove pa
jama-clad men and women IN night
robes to the street, and caused
general panic in the Myrtle rooming
house adjoining. Owing to the near
ness of the fire station, which Is one
block away, the damage done was
slight.
The fire started in a pile OF old
mattresses and other rubbish which
had been thrown on the ground d1,
rectly at the rear of the building and
was caused by a tenant of the build
ing knocking the ashes from his pipe
onto the pile, which ignited.
Instantly a column of flame shot
upwards, the cry of 'Fire!" was raised
On all sides, and the frightened ten,
ants of the building crowded the stair
ways in their haste to eS-N from
what at first looked like a serious
confiagration.
Men and women aroused from sleep
filled the street outside and watched
the fire department, under the dlrec-
ton of Fire Chief ThurSton, drench
the building.
~ Dogs barked, children yelled, wo-
men scolded and such a general up
roar was raised by the neighborhood
that the guests of the Myrtle rooming
