3 FIREMEN OVERCOME
Stricken by Gas Fighting Blaze in
Philadelphia Theater.

BV UHifed PreSS
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 28.-Three
firemen were in critical condition
today, overcome by illuminating gas
while fighting fire in the basement
of the Capitol theater last night.
Cracking gas pipes, heated by a
small fire in a pile of rubbish, was
given as source of the escaping gas.
There was no theater crowd, as
theaters are closed Sundays by the
blue laws.

GINGER ELLA TOLLIVER

rundown farmhouse on wooded curve of the Rabbit river. a house which had borne a For Sale sign so many years it was all but obliterated by time and weather. From this abandoned house on the Rabbit, in another deep breath she was back the five miles talking it over with Ben and Jenky Brooks. And as this peak was more physically accessible to her at that moment, being right across the street, she was practical enough to turn to first things first.
 She tore breathlessly up the stairs and bounded through the open door of their cheery sitting room. Jenky was tearing old clothes into long thin rags and tying them together end to end in a seemingly eternal chain for the small rug Benny was weaving.
 "Darlings,'' Ginger began explo- sively, "what in the world are you going to do all summer when school is out?"
 Finish this rug" said Benny, with an apologetic little cough. | What have you thought of?" in- quired Jenky. who knew Ginger much better than Benny did. "Well.' said Ginger impressively. T think you ought to go out in the country and get lot of fresh air and exercise and sunshine and build up rosy cheeks and backbones and

gance of her wardrobe. There had been a particular joy in showing off before the properly impressed, fa- miliar. friendly eyes of Red Thrush and Eddy Jackson.
 But as the novelty of possession ebbed. the tide of boredom flowed. Gone were the old mad merry days of scheming to make one dollar do the work of three or four-and the even more desperate scheming to get hold of a dollar in the first place.
 Ginger had a bank account of her own now, founded on a check of $5,000 given her by Phil when she was graduated from high school. Gone were the days of flying in a panic to the kitchen to gather to- gether scraps and remnants of food to be stretched into a meal for three or four, and expanded again at the last minute to provide for the in- evltable unexpected guest.
 There was a cook at Doorndee, a large Scotch woman, to whom Phil had taken a fancy, on trip. abroad and, in the offhand way of rich peo- pie. had imported for her private use. Goobins, her name was, but Ginger, her innate spirit of democ- racy rebelling at the proletarian dis card of a formal prefixed title, had shortened it to an affectionate "Gooby."
 Why Go to COlIegeo
 Ginger had always been a bit un- usual, and her sudden acquisition of wealth with it's accompanying pres tige had done nothing to render her more-to -be-expected. In the first place, although it was certainly the proper thing to do, she refused to go to college.
 GO to college?" she queried blandly. What for? I am neither going to, teach school nor marry a minister
 "But little cultural back ground" suggested her father mild ly.
 Ginger's grin disconcerted him. "Listen. precious,' she said, "the postgraduate preachers who com prise the faculty at Wesleyan are far more up on orthodoxy than they are on culture. They know lot more about the Discipline than about the Fine Arts. I was brought up on the Bible and oatmeal por- ridge, just like they were. And in

of poor, blind, shrinking Benny Brooks.
 During nine months of the year she continued her work in the kim dergarten schools of Red Thrush, thus financing their modest menage, and saving every possible penny against the inevitable rainy years that lay ahead.
 In small, th-ee-room apart ment on the second floor of the old house across the street from the parsonage, she made a happy home for the lucky man, while he assisted in every way possible-making bas- kets, weaving rugs-to further the financial good that plays so large part in spiritual contentment.
 Upon the support of these two Ginger could unfairingly count, and the occasions when she required support were not lnfrequent. Tn her young childhood she had known no intimate friendships. | The boundless enthusiasm with which she, the youngest of four, had assumed active management of the
 parsonage and its inmates; her feverish devotion to her father and everything that concerned him; her passionate determination to marry off her sisters as best became thelr separate charms and values; her eagerness to enhance the family for foul; all these interests had united to occupy both all her time and her affection.
 Ginger Gets Into Action But with her sisters happily mar ried-albeit not entirely to her own best judgment; with her father com fortable in the companiOShip or Phil Van Doorn; and with no finan- cial needs to egg her on. Ginger wanted a chum.
 It was natural that of all the girls in Red Thrush, her fancy should center upon Patty Sears, pretty, ann bitionless and unopinionated, hap py satellite to revolve around ire, pressible Ginger. "Ginger's central moon," Eddy Jackson called her.
 But Ginger had learned much. For one thing, she had discovered that a secret shared is not secret kept. And she had found by bitter experience that plans only half per fected may be easily prevented. Pat ty Sears, for all her love and loyal ty, was susceptible to friendly over. lures, and the suspicious nature Of Eddy Jackson rendered him danger ously adept at ferreting out Ginger's intentions.
 When she went to Ben and Jenky Brooks, on the other hand, it was not to confide a secret, but merely to place it in private and practical repository all her own. Neither the sweetly sympathetic Patty nor the insidiously sly Eddy Jackson could pry a secret of Ginger's from that faithful pair.
 Ginger's mind was apt to leap kangaroo-like from crag to crag of high accomplishment. She never bothered to blaze a trail for herself through the studied valleys of detail that lay between the mountain peaks of inspiration.
 From her sudden grand concept of Home for the Bored Youth of Red Thrush, it was but one flying five-mile leap to an old. neglected,

 Ginger's Big Idea
 .'T didn't know you had place in the country" said Jenky breath lessly, dropping the pile of rags in a great heap at her feet. Well, I've practically got it," said Ginger. "A sort of get-togeth- CT ground for the Junior Country "Why. didn't know there was Jenky.
 "Oh, of course there is Junior Country Club-or practically so. at any rate. What do you think Of it?"
 "Td like to finish this rug" said Benny modestly.
 "You can finish it out in the in the fresh air and sunshine with the birds and bees all around"
 Where is it?" asked Jenky.
 "It's the old Mill Rush Farm out on Rabbit river" said Ginger.
 "Why. I didn't know it had even been sold"
 Well. it's just the same as sold. To tell the truth, you've practically bought it," said Ginger with faint smile.
 "I've bought it,' gasped the amazed woman.
 "Yes. For me, of course. I want you to go to old Jop Westbury ana get it on the best terms you can and | I'll give you the money to pay for it. Pay as little down as you can and stretch the payments out as | give me bill of sale for it or note | or whatever you call it. Because | I'm not altogether sure that father would be heartily in favor of my owning a road-house.' "A road-house!" gasped Jenky. "How terrible! Is Mill Rush a-a road house ?" She almost whispered the horrible words. Well. practically so,' said Gln- ger. Anyhow. it'll be a road-house as soon as we get it fixed up. and the Junior Country Club. Why don't you run along uptown now and find out what old Jop wants for 1t! You've got enough rags tied to car pet half the Middle West. Pretend you want it for yourself and don't mention me. And whatever he asks, you bring him down. l Il WILL. SdlQ JeHky, Wlo loNcu eto transact business for other people 'I'n go this very minute. We won't have to pay any rent if we live out there, will we?"
 "Not a cent. And we'll pay all your living expenses, too. and maybo give you something to boot-f there's any money left over after we get it fixed up"
 "Ill go this very minute,' said Jenky excitedly.
 And for goodness sake. don't say anything about it before Eddy Jack son. or somebody'll put stop to Il before we get started" | Are you sure you've got enough money to pay for it?' suggested Benny. with a meek cough.
 Well. practically" said Ginger 'I can mortgage the Dido if I have to-" The Dido was the small road ster Phil had given her for sher birthday.
 Jenky's hands trembled nervous.y as she put on her hat.
 "I've always liked the country. she said Well can a lot of fruit and put up enough jelly to last all next winter. It'll be good for Ben ny. He doesn't get outdoors enough. We'll raise chickens, Ben n.y.
 Be sure to argue his price down." cautioned Ginger. Half of what he asks will be about right. And pretend you're buying it for yourself

Those" said Ginger coldly, "were mere incidents"
 The four of them sat under the budding naples beside the old par sonage, the very parsonage that had been Ginger's own home until her fathers marriage to Phil Van Doorn.
 It was Easter week, and Wesley Meeker was home from college for his spring vacation. The naples were just curling out into leafy ten drils, and the first hardy tulips were showing bright colors in the narrow beds under the bay window. The grass seemed fairly springing up be- meath their restless tapping feet, for spring was in their nature as it was in the nature of earth.
 Ginger Was Bored
 Ginger took morbid pleasure in visiting the familiar old parsonage of which she had called herself of ficial head for so many years. Long, long ago those days seemed now.
 It was her fathers marriage to Phil Van Doorn, Miss Philadelphia Van Doorn. of Doorndee, which had effected the change in the worldly estate of Ginger Ella Tolliver, and incidentally. of her father also. Even the powers of his church could see the incongruity of retain ing as Q plain minister in modest pastorate man whose wife had moro money than the whole South eastern Iowa Conference put to- gether.
 ' Something had to be done about it, and the only thing that could be done was to make him a District Superintendent, independent of local charSes-which presto, was accom- plished. The Reverend MT Tolliver moved out to Doorndee, the beauti- full estate of his wife, taking with him Ginger Ella, the one remaining daughter of his original four, the others, as Ginger often plaintively stated, having "degenerated into a state of total marriage"
 The fact is that Ginger was bored. For while she had experienced a 1ingling satisfaction in the mere pos sessiveness of her new and enviable estate. She had been thrilled with her pretty home; with her own thoroughbred riding horse, as good ~nd as well accoutered as Phil's own; with the rich and simple ele-
