((‘hnrles iiuttell Loomls in Success) illltle Maude sat by her dear mammu while the devoted lady read 'to her daughter out of a book. Now little Maude knew that it is the height of rudeness to Interrupt those who read to In for our delight, so when she saw 11 little flame curling in the next rootn. she let it curl, hop lug that the chapter would not be 11 long one, and that the flame might get weary of curling and go out. fun It was a long and interesting chapter. and while Maudq's mantmu rend, Little .‘ilaude saw other flames come to curl beside the one that bud begun the business or curling. Now, after the flames had curled awhile they began to lick the furni- ture. And when flames get to licking they are apt to destroy anything that is of an inflammable nature, and Little Maude wished that there were no rules of politeness. llut her dear mamma was so inter ested in the reading, it was so kind of her to give her timII to her dough» fer, that Lillie Maude forehorc to speak. it was not ‘ong before a maid saw the fire. and judging that it Would be Well to bring it to the attention of some one, she came to the door of the room to tell her mistress. but Little. Mnude laid her finger on her lips to signify that her 1111111111111 was reading. and would not care to be interrupted. so the maid went away—~10 pack her trunk And the tire went on burning and spread to other parts of the house. Then 11 fireman who happened to be going by in the street on his way home to luncheon saw the flames. and said to himself very promptly, "lily lunch- eon can wait but this fire. will wait for no man. l'nloss i go at once to hasten to this scene. tho.I fire may ulti- mately resist our utmost efforts." So he broke into 11 run without hurt ing the run at all. and hastened to the fire house. and said to his companions, who were playing at droughts. “Come. let us go and put out the fire in the house of little Maude. Ii have not yet had luncheon, but what of that?“ Not a fireman answered his question. Perhaps they did not know what to say, but all leaped to their tasks. and in a much longei time than it takes to tell it they had reached the home of. little Maude - And it was almost no more. The flames had destroyed the right wing, but the part where Maude and her momma sat had as yet bwn spared While some of the firemen rang the front doorbell in Older that they my brave comrades, and tell them to _ $1 Phone 165-5 ” PAGE FIVE ‘ ....

And some who were not as busv as the others went to a department store \ hard by andbought a life not. At last a stream of water smote the window of the room in which Little Maude's momma was reading to the child, and broke it. and made a splash on the book. Then Little Maude's momma saw what had happened. and. putting her finger in the book to keep the place. she took her daughter‘s hand. and to- gether they went to see the fire from a more advantageous point. "What a pity it is not night time. The flames show so well against the black sky." said Maude‘s momma. She went to the window. and call- ing to the firemen she asked, “Where is the life net?" And the firemen said. “We are sorry. but the firemen have not yet returned with it. They are waiting for change in the. department store in which they bought it." So Maude and her momma. walked down the front stairs, which fortun- ately had not yet been‘ attacked by the flames. and soon reached the garden. “How long has this been going on, my _child'!" "0h, momma." said Little Maude. "It must have begun when you started to read the last chapter Do you wish to chlde me for not. telling you?" “No: l have no wish to chide 7011," said the lady, "for i see you have poise. Come. we will finish the story in the garden and then if I can find some charcoal that is not too damp. we will make coffee for these brave fellows.
