While the firemen fro m No. 9 were clearing that path. Joe heard a loud, creaking sound. Then, fire flared up in the rear of the piles of bales, and without further warning, the floor above fell down on them. "It fell with a loud crash." says Joe, “killing one man Instantly. Two fire men standing beside me were hurled out through a window by the air concus sion caused by the dropping of the floor. After being shot through the window these two tnen kept on running until they fell down In the street. Both were hysterical when they were picked up.

"He didn't do anything while I watched him but poke about and seem to be looking for something,” muttered Billy. "I wonder If he did anything else before I discovered him. I think I'll look to see that everything Is all right up the Laughing Brook.” So Billy went up the Laughing Brook above the place where he had first seen the man that morning. He crossed back and forth from one bank to the other and he examined every stick and log and hole as he went along. Being suspicious, he took the greatest care not to step anywhere until he had first looked to make sure that It was safe. ilia nose told him Just where the man had been, bnt for some time he found nothing suspicious. Everything waa Just as It should be. Neverthe less, Billy was filled with uneasiness. He couldn't get rid of a feeling that something was wrong somewhere. Pres ently he came to a hole In the bank, a hole with which he was very familiar. From that bole came the most appetis ing smell. Now Billy was hungry. He hnd spent so much time following that strange man that he had had no chance to eat for some time. The smell from that hole was of fish. That fish was in the back of the hole. There was no doubt about that. All Billy had to do was to go In and get It, and that Is what he was tempted to do. Then In a flash a thought came to blm. There never had been a fish In there before, so why should there be now? W ith the greatest care Billy began to examine everything around that hole. In the water Just at the entrance to that hole were some dead leaves held down by a little bit of mud. Billy didn't remember ever seeing those leaves before. Very cautiously he reached out and lifted them. Under neath was a trap. C T. W Burgees.— WNU Service. Moll Book EVERYDAY GOOD THINGS NEW TON WHO WANTS TO BE A TOAD? there they were stopped.

They held their position, though—held It while the flames beat all around them and turned the water from their hoses Into steam as fast as they could pour It on.

This simple teat proves that Quaker State stands up longer. But it proves even more. . . because the oil that stands up is giving your motor the best lubrication.
