ninth street Theatre.

The expiring theatre season was
momentarily revived last night at the
T~hirty-ninth Street Theatre when The
Shuberts presented n play called THE
Three OF Hearts" The programme said
that the drama IA taken by MaItaa
Morton from a novel by Harold McGra,h
called Hearts and Masks" The
sophisticated auditors soon decided that
the piece had not escaped the hand OF
Augustus Thomas. Not only was the
dialogue very much In his idum but
there were signs OF his personal treat
ment In the management of certain
scenes as well as In the manner OF
finishing the acts. II WAS unoficially
admitted after the frs: act that Nj.

stage, has not been heard OF for several

Five persons narrowly escaped los

completely destroyed the residence of
w. s. Barksdae, railroad man, at

The building was a total loss, and
the family were forced to flee to the

was the only piece of property saved.
The fire was discovered at 1 o'clock.
How long it had been burning, no one
knew. Mrs. Barksdale said this after
noon that she had been awakened by
roaring sound, but that she believed
it 10 be the wind blowing against the
side of the house. In a few minutes,
she said, she heard crashing sound
in the rear of the house, and in going
to the door opening into the hall, she
found the entire structure filled with
smoke, and that flames were spreading
in all directions.
Her son, daughter, and two grand
children, 10 and II year old girls, were
still asleep She slammed the door
closed, and rushed in the bed rooms
and awakened the sleeping occupants

Young Barksdale barely had time to
throw a chair through window and
gather up the two sleeping children
and drop them to the ground, before
the hames entered the bed rooms. He
jumped himself and caught his mother
and his sister as they leaped from the
window, To the ground, seven feet be-
low.
The side window of one Of the sleep

had barely reached the ground until
their sleeping quarters were ablaze.
An alarm was sent in, and Chief Pot

The entire structure was wrapped in
flanss by this time, and a bed was all
that was saved.
The occupants of the building were
taken across the street to the home
of a neighbor Neighbors also sup
piled clothing, as everything except
their sleeping garments was lost.
The home was one-story cottage,
well furnished. 1t was insured for
