CHICAGO THE YOUNG GIANT

"Wait a little while, Jeff," Char
lie Henderson said after word of
the fire had broken up his wife's
party. "I'm going down with you.
The Bully Bargain House Is on
the wav to your hotel, and I'll go
that way. I want to see If our
building is in danger. The people
going by in the street out were"
he nointed toward the front
door "say the horsecars have
stopped running, so I think Td bet
ter get out the horse and buggy.
Then we 11 start."
Jeff went with him to the stable
and helped him get the horse in
harness. They drove out to North
Clark Street and turned south.
The street gas lights were out
but there was plenty of light from
the distant conflagration to see
everything clearly. The illumina
tion was almost horizontal; people
walking in the street cast long
shadows. The southern fronts of
the houses were clear and visible
to even small details, but their
northern sides were quite dark.
Clark Street was full of people
and noise, which surprised the two
men In the buggy, for they were
still a long way from the fire. A
group of intelligent-looking men,
in workingmen's clothes, stood
talking on a corner. Henderson
pulled up close to them. "Can
you fellows give us any news
about the fire? How far down
town is it? Is it coming this way?"
One of thJ men came forward
and said, "I've been down there,
and have just walked back. At
least 20 blocks are burning; it
seems so, anyway. It's the hot
test fire I've ever seen. Why, you
can't get near it. When I left it
hadn't got to the North Side yet,
but the way red-hot sparks and
burning planks were flying, I'd
say it's over on this side now."
They drove on slowly. The flee
ing crowds were all over the
street. Hundreds of vehicles of all
kinds were coming from the op
posite direction. It was pande
moniuman inferno of oaths and
yells and hurrying feet. Most of
those who came out of the dis
trict were laden with their house
hold goods and the street was lit
tered with merchandise that had
been dropped or thrown away.
"My God! Look at that!" This
exclamation came from Jeff Mar
tin who pointed to a column of
flame that arose suddenly and
stood high in the air far above the
Congress

general level of the fire.- Hender
son looked at it a moment and
muttered sadly, ."The Bargain
House is bound to go, and Tve
worked so long and hard to build
it up. All gone in a night."
"There's a fireman," Jelf said.
"Stop him and let's find out what
ever we can." The man in his
blue fireman's uniform came over
to the buggy. His clothes were
covered with grime and ashes,
and his face was dirty. "Why
aren't you with your company?"
Henderson demanded.
"I was," the man answered,
"until about a thousand tons of
brick wall fell on our engine.
None of us was killed for we saw
It coming. That was on La Salle
Street, near Randolph. Then I
went over to State to Join No. 12,
but I hadn't been there half an
hour before their, hose went all
to pieces too much pressure, I
guess. Anyway, it leaked and
split, and we had to give up.
There ain't nothing I can do, and
I'm on my way home to get the
wife and the kids and take 'cm
down to the beach."
"You mean that the fire's out of
control?"
The fireman laughed sardoni
cally. "Out of control! Don't make
me laff. This ain't no regular fire.
This is hell bust loose on earth.
Jes' look at that." He pointed to
ward the sky. Overhead there was
a great fiery cloud, covering half
the heavens.
Before they had gone a block
farther Jeff Martin had to get out
and lead the horse through the
crowds and past drunken men
who tried to seize its bridle. The
barrooms stood wide open, selling
liquor even while their roofs were
blazing.
When they reached the Bully
Bargain House the building was
not burning; the fire was still
about four blocks away. Hender
son guided the horse to a hitching
post in a wide alley that ran next
to the store. "We'll be here only
a few minutes," he said. "No use
trying to save any of the stock
now, but I want to get some pa
pers and money out of the safe."
A strange sight met their eyes
as they approached the front of
the store. The doors had been
broken open, smashed evidently
by a sledge hammer, and not a
pane of glass was left in any of
the windows. The place was full
of men all of them from the
slums, to Judge by their, appear
ance and they were' helping
themselves to clothing. A large
truck was backed up to the front
door, and a number of men were
filling it with men's suits, taking
them from the shelves by the!
armsful.
Henderson stood for a moment
looking on, his face pale and som-
Der. men ne saw, "come on,
Jeff, let's go up to the office." As
thoy mounted the stairs Jeff said,
"Aren't you going to speak to
these thieves? They act as if the
store belonged to them."
"What should I say? In half
an hour the place will be burning
down, and it's better for them to
have the clothes. Now, here we
are In the office. I want to get
that safe open." It was apparent
that the office had already been
visited, for drawers stood open
and papers lay all over the floor.
"Stand with your back to that
door, Jeff," Henderson said as the
safe door swung open, "and, for
God's sake, keep anyone from
coming in. If they could sec what
I'm taking out of this safe I'd
never get home, nor you either.'
