ing women and children. Patrolman
Stephen Wall climbed the fire escape
and passed into the tenement house
through a window. Assisted by Michael
Nolan. he aided twenty-five or thirty
tenants down fire ladders to the street.
Flames were shooting from the windows
when Wall started back up the fire
escape. Unmndful OF the flames, he
dashed up, grabbed a woman and car
ried her to the street. His clothes and
those of the woman were enveloped in
flames, which were extinguished when
he reachd the sidewalk. The woman
was carried to Harlem Hospital Nolan,
who aided Wall M series of rescues,
had his burned hands dressed by an am
bulance surgeon and has not been seen
since. Police believe that the body Of

Met Mrs. Mills as Housemaid.

More than ten years ago the rector
and Mrs. Mills, hardly knowing each
other. were brought into contact by the
force of circumstances Before the
marriage of the rector to Frances ~.
stevens, the former lived with his
mother and two sisters at Commercial
avenue and George street. short dis
tance from the Church Of st. John the
Evangelist. The Halls were known TO
be in moderately poor circumstances.
The rector at that time was most atten-
tive to Miss Matte Long.
Many persons who knew the family
watched to see who would eventually
become the bride of the corpulent cler-
gyman. 1t has been said that the rector
approached the matter of finances with
Miss Long. asking her if her folk had
any property and how they stood finan-
cially. The announcement Of the en-
gagement of Hall TO Miss Stevens
astounded many people.
Previous 10 this Mrs. Mills had been
struggling alone with her household
duties and her husband and children
when Mills was suddenly thrown out Of
work. To help out until her husband
could obtain another position Mrs. Mills
searched the want columns of the papers
here and came upon an advertisement
inserted by the elderly Mrs. Hall, mother
of the rector. asking for a refined
woman to assist in housework for part
OF the day. That IS how Mrs. Mills met
the rector, by becoming a maid of all
work in his mothers house.

Not Friendly Before Marriage.

At that time. prior TO the rector's mar
riage, there was never any friendliness
or intimacy between the two and Mrs.
Mills gave up the work when her hus-
band found other employment She did,
however, join the church and became
active and thereby earned for herself
the attention Of the rector and later his
affections, as has been shown. More
than once the rector visited the Mills
home TO see his choir singer alone during
Ne day and he sent her numerous gifts.
such as pictures for the walls of her
home. flowers and little trinkets.
The place from which Mrs Mills did
most OF her telephoning TO Hall, 1t be-
came known to-day, was not a neigh
bor's house but a drug store in the
heart OF the city. 1t Is a coincidence
that this store in within stones throw
OF the pace another admirer Of the rec
tor worked. The origin Of the pet name
Gypsy" which the rector used in his
letters to Mrs. Mills is now explained
thus: Mrs. Mills at one time heard
talking machine record Of the then popu-
lar song "Just Like the Gypsies" arid
became much Interested in the words.
She made It a point 10 write them down
and sent them TO the rector, who inn
mcdately bought the record. which
thereafter was kept in the study of the
church.
When the rector arrived at the spot
beyond the trolley line on Easton
svcnuo. where the couple met frequently,
he would, it is said. whistle the song
and an answering whistle OF a few bars
would apprise him OF the spot at which
his choir singer awaited him. The
whistliDg was even used over the tele-
hone at times when caution demanded.
That the rector felt some OF the
cnmity between Henry Stevens and
himself was also asserted to-day. He
is said to have told Mrs. Mils Henry
has always hated me ever since my
marriage with his sister was arranged"
Tho same source asserts that there
was a deep suspicion in the Hall house
hold OF the friendship between the rector
and choir singer and that they were
watched for about two years.
Much comment was made when Bar
bara Tough. servant in the Hall home,
was installed as n member OF the guild
and began 20 take an active part in all
