door, pushed it open, and found her
self in what seemed to be a large
stOrerOom. She slammed the door
shut to keep the fire at bay and ran
to the one window of the room to
look out.
Ora was fully frightened as she
noted that the ground was fully 80
feet below. She tried to lift the heavy
sash, but her strength was not equal
to the task. The air was growing
more and more oppressive and she
could hear the cracking of the
flames in the passageway beyond the
door she had just closed.
Il must get through the window
some way!" she 'breathed flutter-
ingly.
Ora seized a chair, lifted it and
struck the thick glass pane. 1t shat
tered; she peered through the aper-
ture.
A weIl-dTessed young man was
running past through the rear yard,
his eyes lifted, scanning the upper
windows as though with a definite
purpose in view.
"Ahw he exclaimed as if with sat
isfaction, darted back to avoid the
descending shower of glass, and then
shouted up to Ora:
Remain there Just a moment"
He disappeared, but to speedily re-
turn with a long, light ladder. He
dropped, its top across the window
coping, ran up it nimbly.
No, then" he spoke, bracing his
feet and opening his arms.
Just in time!" he added. for q
tongue of fame darted through the
transom of the room.
Ora was so weak and trembling
that she hesitated with no false pru-
derry to accept the shelter of those
strong, reliant arms. Her rescuer

"I am not" began the truthful
Ora, but she was not allowed to dis
close the fact that she was not so
fortunate as to be a friend of Miss
Chandler, as the young man had
supposed, but a very humble caterer,
indeed, to the whims of style of that
votary of fashion. The smoke chOked

METROPOLIS OF THE WlLDs
Spokane, City of Hundred and Fifty
Thousand People, Has Good Trout
Fishing Within Limits.

A city OF hundred and fifty thou
sand people that has good trout fishing
within its city limits and Indians liy-
ing in their tepees mile and half
away Is something that You cannot
grasp unless you know the West. And
even if you do, Spokane would strike
you as something Of surprise. II
looks as though ii had been built yes
terday in what was a virgin wilderness
the day beforehand yet made complete
with street cars and electric lights and
everything that You could find In a
New England town, except, perhaps,
the cultured atmosphere.
The Spokaneites do not miss the cul-
tured atmosphere. If you asked about
it they would probably tell you that
they prefer the smell Of the pines. For
they are an outdoors-living crew. A
citizen of Spokane may attend board
of directors meeting in the heart of
the city at 10 a. m. and at p. m.
he may be hunting bear. The noun
tains crowd right down upon the city
and there are fifty lakes within ra-
dlus of a hundred miles.
Spokane, like Rome, was not built in
day, but it was set up at a rate that
makes all of those old saws about how
long it takes to do things look hollow
and meaningless. 1t was only In 1858
that the Indians got their first decisive
defeat in this region and the first loco
motive arrived in 1881. BY 1890 they
had something of a town started, but
1t was wiped out by fire that year.
The real growth began when the
river was turned into electric power
10000 horse. From this giant dynamo
electricity reaches out through the can
yons to hundreds of mines, driving the
power trans into the bowels of the
mountains, bringing wealth to the city,
which sits like spider at the center
of its mighty web or current,

Teaching Conservation Of Coal.

One Of the serious problems confront.
ing the manufacturers of Tennessee at
the present time is the scarcity and
high cost of steam coal with which to
run their plants. In view of the fact
that the government is urging econ
omy and conservation of all elements
that enter into the manufacture of
goods, the Tennessee Manufacturers
association, jointly with the University
of Tennessee, is arranging a trip
through the state for the purpose of
imparting information to the coal u.s.
ers as to how they can get more power
efficiency from their plants with less
quantity of coal consumption.

MONEY LENDER PITIED POOR
Chinese ShyIock in Manchurla Gave
Annual Sum for Relief Work to
Relieve His Conscience.

A wealthy Chinese money lender In
Manchuria was recently convicted of
making false declaration regarding
robberies Of his caravans by Mongolian
bandits. His conscience troubled him
to such an extent that he offered to
contribute an annual sum of $3.50 for
the relief Of the poor, East and West
says. This money was made the basis
of fund for feeding the helpless at
Kungchuling.
Manchuria Is terribly poor, despite
the mineral and agricultural riches ex-
tracted from it's soil and rocks, all of
which products are shipped abroad.
There are probably thousands of indus
trious natives unable, by unremitting
toll, to earn more than meager liv
ing. When to their natural difficulties
are added the rayages of bandits and
the evils of misgovernment, such as
now prevail in many parts of China,
abject poverty and starvation must be
the lot Of the people who, in, the best
of times, are only half fed.
