NEW YORK. Dec. 2O.-Policeman
Francis Walsh, % years old, four
years on the force. and with a good
record was calling on his fiancee,
who lives in Nostrand av.. Brooklyn.
The time was close to midnight.
There came a ring at the doorbell.
A rough-looking man asked for
Walsh. The policeman went to the
door. Said the stranger: You're the
cop that arrested Rublanto, amt
you? Well, take a tip from me-this
guy Stevens is waiting for you with
a gun down at Martino's saloon. Look
QUIT" Then the man ran down the
steps and disappeared.
Walsh remembered having arrest
ed Jas. Rubianto, charged with hav-
ing shot a man during a gang bat
tie. He also recalled that Jas. Stevens.
gang leader, had threatened to plug
him for arresting Rubianto.
Leaving his fiancee's home, shortly
after hearing the warning from the
mysterious stranger, Walsh put his
loaded revolver in his right-hand coat
pocket and went to Enrico Martino's
saloon. 1--we come for Stevens;
where is hep" he said to MARITIME.
- The saloonkeeper begged Walsh to
leave, and pulled him back when he
sought TO enter a back room. Walsh
shook him off and went into the
room. AS he entered, Stevens slipped
into hallway at one side, taking a
shot at the policeman as he lodged
out. Walsh followed him into the
hallway, which was dark. Both men
were silent for several moments, each
fearing to betray his location to the
other. Then Stevens ran into the
street and crouched behind a wood
bin, where he waited for Walsh to
come out.
Policeman Nolan had heard the
shot and was across the street Some
one had told him what was doing.
Look QUIT" he yelled to Walsh.
He's going to shoot you! I've got
him covered. Wait till I get nearer
Walsh darted out of the hallway
and around the woodbin. Two guns
blazed. Stevens aim was bad. He
missed. The policeman's bullet went
through the gunman's heart. He ran
few steps and fell dead at Nolan's
feet.
Right in Brooklyn il all happened
and could you beat it in the wild
west" or Sicily, of the movies?

HELEN TRIED TO READ BE-
TWEEN THE LINES OF WAR
REN'S BRIEF NOTES.
BY MABEL HERBERT URNER.

, truth-that the man is small and sell
fish and cruel of nature. She goes on
trying to believe, and to make others
believe, that if he seems to be all
these things, it is only because he is
the victim of unfortunate circum-
stances. That-at heart, he is fine
and big and true, and that some day
things will come right" and he will
be himself again"-and will give her
the love and tenderness for which she
has been starving so long.
And now, Helen strained after ex-
cuses for Warren-and found them.
He had not meant to be selfish. He
had not realized that he was making
her unhappy. His GOODNESS and in
difference were only the result Of
worry about his work and the respon-
sibility Of having a family on so small
an income.
And now, she put aside all the I'M
happiness since and dwelt for hours
on those wonderful months before the
coming of Winifred when he had been
loving and thoughtful-when he had
been really himself!
The Dream of the Past.
One of the incidents she loved most
TO live over, and that always brought
the tears TO her eyes with a rush of
tenderness, was that of one afternoon
when he came home from the office,
just after dusk. and she had run into
his arms and he had held her close
without speaking. She had led him 70
the big chair and curled up in his
lap, burying her face on his shoulder
And he had rested his lips against her
hair as he held her still in silence.
And at last she had whispered: oh
Warren. il Is so wonderful 1t means
so much to mel
And he answered gently, as he drew
her closer: "And il means so much
TO me-"
When she would think Of that mo-
, ment, her heart seemed to beat in
tenderness and she would feel, If only
she could see him now everything
would be right. All the wretched
months since then had been only an
unhappy dream.
The man who had held her and
whispered to her that day was the
real Warren, her husband, who still
loved her as he had loved her then.

Wimbledon. n. D.. Dec. 9.-sFYre of
the store Of More Brothers hardware
here early Sunday morning, entailing
a property loss of about $4,000, full
ly covered by insurance.
The origin Of the fire may be pos
sibly attributed to spontaneous com.
bustion from hops. used in oiling the
floors and which we've stored in that
portion Of the store where the fire
was first detected.
Harry Hammond,y an employee Of
the store, who resided on the second
floor of the building, lost all his
household effects ard. with his fami-
~, had a narrow escape from being
burned to death.
The fire was discovered at about 3
o'clock in the morning and had gain
ed such Roadway that it was impos-
sible to check 1t. Fire-proof windows
in the building aided in controlling
the fire and preventing its spread to
other buildings. The store had been
closed at 1 o'clock in the morning, at
ter workmen had cleaned the floors
and done other work of the weekend
and at that time, all was apparently
in normal condition.
The building was a two-story brick
and one Of the modern structures OF
the city. It will be rebuilt, it IL
stated.
