to the ground he ran back into the.
flames. He had got half awy through
the hall toward the stairs when a
falling beam knocked him senseless,
and one of the men ran in and res
cued him.
The boys white face appeared at
an upper window. He was a chip off
the old block. He didn't scream or
cry-just sat at the window and
looked out and waited.
Half a dozen men dashed in, but
Raphael was first. He vanished in
an inferno of smoke and flame, and
it seemed an eternity before he was
seen at the window beside Harry.
Then what a cheer went up! But the
ladder had been too short to help
even Horace Daunce, twelve feet low
er, without a man shining up and
tossing a rope. There was no chance
for saving Raphael.
He comprehended the situation in
stantly, it seemed, for, after casting
glance about him, he seized the lad
in his arms and disappeared within
the room again. Only the coiling
smoke came out. And suddenly a
crash followed, and the whole floor
of that room fell in. The flames shot
up above the roof tops.
l heard a scream behind me, and
there was stout Mrs. Raphael among
the crowd. She had tainted dead
away. l saw then that people the,
color of ham may have hearts as
well as we.
We had about given up hope when,
out of the debris there appeared a,
figure, the almost nude body of a.
man, crowned with a huge, brass,
hooking fireman's helmet. In his
arms, which were smoldering, he
carried a limp body wrapped in a
blanket. He staggered out of the fire
and smoke, which shot forth angry
tongues after him, as,if Infatuated
that he had escaped its malice.

running like boy to every blaze was
a ludicrous one. When they served
out brass helmets-donated by Hor-
ace Daunce-Raphael was the proud
est of the proud. He insisted on
shaking hands with Horace, who was
a fastidious man and showed his re-
sentiment, which was quite thrown
away on Raphael.
Harry Daunce had been i'll with
scarlet fever for three weeks when
the great fire destroyed the Daunce
home. 1t. was supposed to be the
work of a discharged Waterman, it
blazed up so quickly that paraffin
must have been poured over the porch
where it began. There was no need
to sound the firebell. The flames lit
up all East Kemp and within five min
utes the engines we're out and the
horses gaIoping wildly toward the
scene.
In the front of the crew, his face
wildfwith excitement, was Raphael, in
his big brass helmet He was shout
ing to the beasts as they galloped up
the steep hill toward the furious
flames that leaped skyward out of the
burning roof.
All East Kemp followed in the
wake of the fire engine, but very
short inspection showed that the
place was doomed. There was not
flow of water sufficient to check even
a moderate conflagration. 1t was just
a case of letting the place burn
down. -,
The servants had got away, but
Mr.. and Mrs. Daunce and the boy
were trapped in the burning wing.
Horace Daunce showed that there
was something more than supercil-
iousness in him that night. He caught
his wife in his arms and crawled
along the coping, leaped a six-foot
parapet with her, and crouched
among the sparks until they got a
rope to him.

MAY DEVOTIONS IN
ST. JOSEPH'S Church

Since the May illumination in st.
Josepb's Church a week ago yester-
day so many expressions of appreci-
alton have been heard that the Rev.
John Clancy, the pastor, has decided
to repeat the illumination on Sunday
but in a different way. The idea
now is to represent two mysteries of
the Holy Rosary The first one will
be a representation of the death scene
of the Virgin Mary followed by her
ascension into Heaven.
Following this scene May devotions
will be conducted Sunday evening at
which time new members will be ad-
mitted to the Sodality of the B. V. NJ.
Then will follow a procession and
crowning Of the statue of the Virgin
by the boys of the school at which
time claim will be laid by the con-
gregation by all addressing the salu-
tation: Mary. Our Queen" The con-
gregation will Join in the singing OF
the old hymn. The services will be-
gin at o'clock.

PARIS ON RIVIERA EXPRESS,
May 15.-(By Mail to New York;
Private Leopold Buzancy, in the seat
opposite was grumbling. His crouch
had nothing to do with the wound in
his foot which had just reopened and
was giving him serious pain, for be-
cause of that foot he was to have a
two weeks furlough away from the
trenches. Nor was it because ne fear
ed the German bullets: for dating
from yesterday he had lived within
80 meters of the enemy swapping
shots daily for the past two months.
He was kicking because tOadfrogs
and mice kept MIN from enjoying life
at the front.
Psychologists will have lot to
think about after this war is over
and one of the least of their problems
will be to find out why a soldier
will bounce Ou. of his trench at the
first word of command and charge
bayonets like a demon only to yell
like a commanche Indian a little
later when a beetle crawls up his
sleeve.
What is the worst thing you have
TO put up with living in the trenches? %
he had been asked out of curiosity.
"Toads," Buzancy replied in comic
opera-Frenchman-E English, "the sacre
