OLD HOME OF PRESIDENT
MONROE CATCHES FIRE

NEW YORK, March 2.-The old
building at Lafayette and Prince
streets. where President James
Monroe lived and died, was threat
ened with destruction, by fire when
a blaze started in the rear Of the
house in a pile of papers.
The blaze was quickly extin.

was once the kitchen of the house.
Firemen believe the fire started
from spontaneous combustion. The
building is occupied on the first
floor by a paper picker and car
penter. Last October a fire caused
slight damage. Plans are under

lost PEG LEG,'
ACTOR HAD
To QUIT
Vaudeville Entertainer Has
Two Frantic Days Searching
for Trick Limb.

/ NEW YORK, March AFTER two
days and nights Of frantic tele-
phoning and q patient taxi to taxi
search, Charles H. Bennington, uc-
tor and his peg leg were reunited.
Bennington is half Of the team OF
Bennington and Scott, vaudeville &C
tors. Sunday they wound up an
engagement at Loew's Astoria The
alter. It was late when Bennington
took q cab to the station to catch
his train. And 1t was only by q
last minute rush that the actor
managed to make It.
In the middle of the longest tun-
mel Of them all the passengers were
astonished to see a. man climb up
on the arm Of his seat and amazed
to hear him cry: I've lost my les"
And his trusty and. trusted left
leg was gone. It was feature OF
the teams act, that peg leg. Ornar
mented with q brass ferrule on the
end, 1t beat time during q dance and
earned applause everywhere II went.
Bennington had dim recollection
of q cab and then 3 picture OF q
bundle lying In the corner of the
seat. And he knew that some
where in the Iabyrinths Of Astoria
his pet leg was riding about all by
itself in some strange taxtcab.
1t was late then, but Bennington
was on the next train for Astoria.
To Mike Flynn, manager 'of the
house, the actor communicated his
dire loss, The theater was care
fully combed and all taxi drivers
were questioned. but none they
could find had q stray left leg
aboard.
Meanwhile Bennington called up
the vaudeville offices and said: Il
cant go on over at the Palace in
Brooklyn, where we are billed. I've
lost my leg"
"What hospital are you in and
how did it happen?" was the star
tied query.
'.I'm in my own apartment. lost
my leg in a. taxicab last night"
And he told his story.
So Bennington went on the trail
of the taxicab. It was yellow and
checkered, he remembered. And
finally the Mogul Checker Taxicab
Company remembered having g
driver by the name Of Scotty over
in Astoria Sunday night.
During the hue and cry for Scot
tv, that followed Flynn called up
and invited Bennington to come
over and collect his leg. The driver.
Scotty, had remembered his fare
and turned 1t in at the local office
the next day.
Now Bennington is planning a

accident should happen again.

FAWNS IN BOXING CONTEST"
Youngsters Apparently Settled Difficult
ties Much as Would Two Boys
Who Had QuarreIed.

My husband, writes a contributor,
having occasion to walk through the
woods one day, came to small ridge,
from the top of which he was able to
look down into small natural amphi-
theater where several does and fawns
were grazing and playing. AS he had
come upon them without their detec-
ing him, he decided to remain and
watch them.
The does were quietly grazing, keep
ing watchful eye on the little ones
all the while, much as human mother
would do. But the fawns were run
ming, jumping and apparently having
a joyous time. Suddenly, to my hus-
bands surprise, two little fellows stood
up on their hind legs and, as if they
were boxing, struck the hoOfs of their
forefeet together so that the place rang
with the clatter. While the boxing

hidden Madeline to go. Her mother
forgot her naughty poise and dignity.
Madeline stood her ground, even to
reminding them that she was twenty
four and her own mistress. In the
end she had prevailed.
Madeline had planned to arrive In
Ell Cajon on October 3, her brothers
birthday, and she had succeeded,
though her arrival occurred at the
twenty-fourth hour. Her train had
been several hours late. Whether or
not the message had reached Alfred's
hands she had no means of telling,
and the thing which concerned her
now was the fact that she had arrived
and he was not there to meet her.
AS Madeline sat waiting in the yell
low gloom she heard the faint, inter
mittent click of the telegraph instru-
ment, the low hum of wires, the occa-
sional stamp of an iron-shod Roof, and
distant vacant laugh rising above
the sounds Of the dance. She became
conscious Of slight quickening of
her pulse. Madeline had only linn
tied knowledge of the West. Like all
Of her class, she had Travelled Europe
and had neglected America. She had
been astounded at the interminable
distance she had travelled, and If there
had been anything attractive to look
at in all that journey she had passed
1t in the night.
A faint sound like the rafting of
thin chains diverted Madeline's at
tention. At first she imagined 1t was
made by the telegraph wires. Then
she heard step. The door swung
wide; a tall man entered, and with
him came the clinking rattle. She
realized then that the sound came
from his spurs.
"Will you please direct me to
hotel" asked Madeline, rising.
The cowboy removed his sombrero,
and the sweep he made with 1t and
the accompanying bow, despite their
exaggeration, had a kind Of rude
grace. He took two long strides
toward her.

"And now, lady-so we can finish

He stared for while, as If the
name had awakened associations In a
mind somewhat befogged. He leaned
back unsteadily.
"What manner" he demanded.

He put his hand up and brushed at
an imaginary something before his

How strange stranger than any
thing that had ever happened to her
before-was 1t to hear that name on
the lips Of this cowboy! 1t was a

dearest to her had the privilege Of

This appeared to galvanize the cow

and led him toward the door, cursing

secrecy. Then he pushed him across
the threshold and stood there breath

"Here-wait-wait a minute, Miss

habits of characterized before the
instinct to fight. She was athletic.
She fought. She struggled desperately.
But he forced her back with hands
Of iron. She had never known a man
could be so strong.
''What-do you-mean?" she painted.
"Dearie, ease up a little on the
bridle," he replied, gaily.
Madeline thought she must be
dreaming. She could not think clearly.
She not only saw this man, but also
felt his powerful presence. And the
shaking priest, the haze of blue smoke,
the smell Of powder-these were not
unreal.
Then close before her eyes burst
another binding red fash, and close
at her ears beloved another report.
Unable to stand, Madeline slipped
down onto the bench. Her drifting
faculties refused clearly to record
what transpired during the next few
moments; presently, however, as her
