FIR E M EN FIGHT STUBBORN BLAZE.
Spend Two Hours Before Fire Is Put Out at
 Second and Seward

Another busy evening kept the firemen on their toes for the bet ter part of two hours last night when they were called out twice to the same building to put out fires on the second story of the structure at Second and Seward Streets on the lower floor of which is Mrs. Winn's Hat Shop.
 The first alarm was sent in about 6 D. m. when the blaze was discovered from the street. Stari- ing between the ceiling and roof of the building, the fire had a good start before the department reached the scene and it was only after an hour and twenty minutes of fighting that it was subdued.
 About ten minutes after the firemen returned to the fire hall someone phoned in and said there seemed to be a little fire left. Some of the men returned with hose in Art MeKinnon's transfer truck and set to work again. Someone else, noticing the smoke which again began issuing from the building. sent in an alarm from Second and Main Streets. bringing the truck back to the scene. Another hour was spert this time until if was made sure that all traces of fire were ex- tingnished.
 The roof of the building was burned badly and water used in putting out the blaze soaked the walls throughout the structure. Shortly after the first alarm was turned in the goods in Mrs. Winn's shop, and that of Miss Hamilton adjoining, were taken out and were practically undam- aged. Mrs. Vim and Miss Ham, ilton today expressed their appre- ciation to the firemen for the way in which the stock was taken out with no damage whatever to IL.
 J. l.. Gray, fire chief, said to. day that the origin of the fire is not known definitely. When the flames reached the building the upper story was already in flames, he said, and either defective flue or wiring may have started the blaze.
 No insurance was carried on the building. which has been standing for about thirty years and part of which was rem0deled last spring. Fire loss is uncertain but repairs now being made by the Morris Construction Compan, will cost several hundred dollars Mrs. Winn said.

gentlemen, that wouldn't speak well
deal gently with her weaknesses and
draw veil, If need were, over her
mistakes. But, gentlemen, want to
say, I'm not called on to apologize in
any way for my little dead mother.
She was a whip of girl, eighteen
years old. He was twenty-one. She
weighed ninety pounds when Henry
Roper married her--only ninety
pounds, but every ounce of that ninety
pounds was true womanhood, as you
will say when you hear me; and she
knew what was due to herself. And
can say no word against my dead
father-he knew what was due to the
woman he loved, and respected 1t. She
was the better educated, he was the
older-and I know nothing of either
Of them but what Is to their honor
and mine.
There were few chances at the old
fort, In those days, to get married,
and II there is one thing for which my
father should be blamed 1t was that
he was afraid of his own father and
let him bully him. But in spite Of the
bullying he wouldn't give up the girl;
and to break up the attachment, this
old man upstairs arranged to have
his son transferred to Fort Calhoun.
Before the transfer order came,
and while the young couple were
growing desperate over their situa-

II he gets hurt" he angrily exploded.
Barney called off, but, the instant
the lawn mower tuned up, the Brat
was back raging before 1t.
Soon 1t was not merely a case Of
lawn mower. The Brat dug holes In
the Hopkins fiower-beds. The Brat
tracked mud on the Hopkins porch.
The Brat left bones on the Hopkins
doormat.
Then came a climax of threats.
If he-Barney-could not put stop
to that internal dog being such null
sance, he-Hopkins-would find way
to.
From the first, poor Barney, who
had not moments peace for fear his
beloved Brat would be shot or pol
soned, knew there was only one way
out; one safe way, for the Brats
health and happiness" But 1t took
him week to make up his mind.
In the middle of sleepless night
Barney came to-the great decision.
How he could live without him he
did not know, but the Brat must 60

next day while "the going was good"
AS Barney lay there in the outer
darkness of the night and his renunci-
alton, tears streamed down his cheeks,
a lump choked his throat.
What was that?
AS Barney listened, his heart turned
cold. 1t was dog In wild outburst
of barks, yelps, bowls. 1t was the Brat
who slept out In the back yard, now
the nights were mild.
If he should wake up Hopkinsl
A shutter of the next-door house
slammed back; a window sash went
up; the enraged Hopkins began to
swear at the Brat.
Then the impossible happened.
Without stopping to call his wife,
who slept In the communicating room
with the door open between, somehow
the cripple got out Of bed and to the
window.
Brat! Be quiet, Brat! |" he called
and fell unconscious to the floor.
When he came to, Barney was again
lying In bed, his wife seated beside
him, holding his hand.
"Brat?" he faltered in distress.
An ecstatic bark on the other side Of
the bed answered.
"Feeling better, Barney"
In daze of establishment Barney
lifted his eyes to fireman bending
solicitously over him.
"Why, Jerry!" he gasped. what

"Yes, don't you remember? Fhe fire

there's nothing to worry about. The

1t would have been another story,
though, If the Brat hadn't discovered
the blaze and raised Cain. Say"

can't say enough In the Brat's praise.

After dinner one evening he turned to

ton, a party Of Crows started on the
warpath. Colonel Roper ordered a
troop of cavalry out after the Crows.
"It happened just when there was
an outbreak Of smallpox at the fort.
1t was light, but many of the men
were down, the captain who would
have ordinarily commanded the expe-
dition was down. My father was as
signed to the job Of furnishing the
Crows.
"But he had to wait for men.
Colonel Roper, like an old blunder-
buss, sputtered around trying to hurry
things up, but week slipped away
before they could get handful Of
men ready. Father, of course, was
likewise impatient to be off and great
ly elated-and before he got away
something else happened.
Father had an orderly-a half
breed Chippewa Indian who was to
act as guide. He had been brought
up among the Sioux, and his name
was John Frying Pan. Frying Pan
learned from friendly Indians that a
black-robe missioner was travelling
with an escort of Blackfeet into the
mountains, and that the party was
camped at what was called Old Mis-
sion, twenty miles down the river. My
father went to my mother with the
news.
"He asked her to go with him to
the .black-robe and be married. When
he came back he would tell his father,
have 1t out with him, and all would
be well; they would be married, any
way, and there would be no more
trouble
ut all sounded good to my mother |;
the little Grow expedition was to be
a holiday affair-soon over, military
honors, brave young husband-and all
that.
"She consented. Frying Pan, the or
Derby, arranged things. An old SER
geant, devoted to Father, rode out
with him one afternoon after antelope.
Mother rode out later alone. Frying
Pan met her, and they rode down
the river together and met Father.
Frying Pan and the old sergeant
were taken along for witnesses.
"They made the camp and found the
black-robe. My mother belonged to
his faith. He made necessary inqui-
ries, told them he would marry them,
and asked them to come back the fol-
lowing day for the ceremony. They
begged to be married at once.
might had fallen. 1t was raining
to beat hell. But that wild night, in
that little Indian camp and in that
downpour, before the gray-haired
padre, with Frying Pan, the sergeant,
and the Blackfeet lighting the scene
with pitch-pine torches, my father
married my mother.
'They got back to the fort. Came
next day the orders to start. There
were only half as many men fit as
