Woman Dares Fire
to SuUe Treusures

Pittsburgh, Pa.-Rare daring was
shown by Mrs. Henry Steding, aged
sixty-four, who on two occasions re-
entered her burning home to save a
pet or some object which she highly
priced. But in the end she was pulled
from the flames by her dog.
After making an attempt to subdue
the fire, which started under the first
floor Of her house, Mrs. Steding would
not leave the house until she had
saved her canary. She was led from
the building by Henry G. Young, 5l1
Montooth street, through the smoke.
After reaching safety with her bird.
Mrs. Steding recalled her prize phOno-
graph. She dashed into the house
with Policeman Walsh at her heels.
The policeman took her. back to
safety.
Although she was burned. about the
face and hands and her eyebrows and
hair were singed, again Mrs. Steding
ran to the house for some treasure.
But this time Teddy. her fox terrier,
was watching his mistress, and before
she had entered the danger zone the
little dog had good hold on her
skirt. With the aid of Policeman
Walsh he pulled her back to safety.
Mrs. Steding will recover from her
burns.

two rubber sheets. In addition, he
had equipped the horse with rubber
headgear to keep off the wind, rain and
snow, and had also placed pants on
