were spreading rapidly to the wood- — 
work, when Mrs. Mulvey, who had 
been alarmed by the screams of the © 
children, ran in, and pulled down the © 
burning curtains, and threw them out — 
of doors, after which she used a few ~ 
buckets of water to such good effect — 
that it was soon under control, the — 
damage being confined to two pairs — 
of lace curtains, and two shades — 
which were destroyed, and the wood —

scorched. The fire alarm was sound- | 
ed, but the “all out” quickly followed.
