He referred to an arduous march tlae

-A young girl named Steele lost her
tile while heroically engaged in sav-
ing children from a burning house on
Saturday. The house was occupied
by two families named Farrell and Me-
Intyre, the latter living in the upper
flat.
When 13ae fire was discovered Mire.
McIntyre went outside while the girl
renaained and dropped three young
children, one after another, out of,
window to their mother below. Her
position was one of extreme clanger,
as the weole of the upper part of the
hone was in flames.
BOTH WERE BURNED.
Instead at saving b.er own life, as
she might havo done by, escaping
through the tvindoW, she rushed to
another room vvith the object of rescu-
ing Mrs. Farrell's boy, who slept in
the same flat. The heroic girl was
met at the door by a burst of flames,
which must have at once overcome
her, and bath she and the boy were
burned to death.
The girl was a nieee of Mrs. Mein -
tyre. The, ciaarred remains of the
victims have been recovered from the
ruins. Nothing but an organ was
saved in the shape of furniture.
