The icy sleet beat against the hospital windows and they rattled and creaked as the wild wind howled. Miss McGregor sighed ns she passed down the ward on I iagt r0und U-fore U-ing relieved by niht attemlant. Su.l.ienly, above the I noise of the storm, came tne sound or galloping horses and the clanging of fire bells. Moved by anxiety the nurse ran the window. The sky was brilliant anil she could see the flames rising red nzrunst the black clouds.

A shower of sparks was carried across the housetops by the l. lying wind. A general alarm had been turned lu and the engines, with their flrebeVhing stacks, formed a continual procession past the hospital door as they followed oue another in rapid succession. At the curbstone the doctor's horse pricked up his ears, tugged at his strap, pawed the ground and whinnied at the fast-gathering To all appearances the Are bad broken out in the upper story of an oil warehouse, which was enveloped In dense, black sfhoke. The windows cracked and brohe and the glass crashed oa tUe sidewalk below.

The tames burst out furiously, fanned by the high wind. The chief seemed to be in every place at once, and his clear, precise orders included every man in his command. The f.re had gained much headway, and, fed by highly inflammable material. It soon scooped the center out of the building. There was a crash and a wall fell in.

A cry of horror arose from the crowds of people who had followed the engines, t'ndaunted, the firemen worked with soldierly steadiness. Against the wall of the building a ladder had been hoisted, and the truckmen, with axes, ropes and hooks, were rapidly ascending, their forms outlined black and fearful as they passed a flame-lighted window. About thirty had reached the roof and were assisting the plpemen to adjust the hose so as to throw a stream down into the burning debris, when, without warning, down came the support under their feet, and men, roof, ceilings and floors fell through to the basement. Loud aroee the condemnation of the chief, which was taken up, passed and commented on by the crowds. Such a lack of Judgment had never before been known in the city's history! The chief had always been a severe man.

He expected the most unquestioning obedience from his men. It was at hia command that the firemen had gone to the roof of a falling building. Relief was pushed as rapidly as possible and the wounded men were taken tenderly out to the welting ambulance. At the hospital a sweet-faced nurse bent pityingly over the bruised forms as one by one they were brought In and eared for. She bad been so occupied that she had not bad an opportunity to inquire about the cause of the accident, and when the last patient bad been attended to she went over to where the doctor stood pulling on his gloves and asked him about It, "They say it was all due to a blunder.

Miss McGregor, and the chief can not be found." "Do yon mean, doctor, that he has fled?" 'They say so, but I can hardly be lieve that." "I am the nurse exclaimed, "that they are mistaken. He is not the man to run. I knew he was a brave man last summer when he bor- the pnin of those terribli- burns so unflinchingly. May I go down to the ruins with you, sir?" The doctor looked at her keenly for a momert ani then answered: "Yes: a walk will do you good after this night's work She put a long cape over her nurse's uuiforn and pulling the hood orer her head followed the doctor out Into the storm. smoke-begrimed faces the looked menacing In the of the fading tk-e, which was almost out.

They were wading about on the wet p-avenouts looking for any chance flame that might break out in the rubbish. Near the fire lino the assistant chief stood talking to some insurance men. "Ar- they ail out, Murray?" the doctor asked. "Yes. You do not want any more ovr at the hospital, do you?" the man responded.

"We want them all, Murray, and Miss McGregor has come to look for some more, I am sure." "I have. Mr. Murray," the nurse said, as she laid her little, cold hand on his arm. "I have a feeling that there 13 some one else there and I am going to ask you to go through once more to see If th chief isn't there." "We have done all we could, ma'am." "I know you have, but this is. perhaps, a woman's whim.

Won't yon Just walk through once more? It would make tat so much eisler. I have cared for so many of your men that oh, Mr. Murray, will you not go?" It was hard to resist the pleadin? voice, and Murray's memory did not have to exert itself to remember a time when that same voice had soothed weary hours of pain. It had buoyed him up with bnp- when he had lain, as he thought, crippled for life In the hospital. "I want to look over the ground." Murray," the Insurance man said, "and might as well go now." Somewhat against his will, the assistant chief acquiesced, saying, as he departed: "We can give you little hope.

You know, be was not seen on the ladder with the men." It seemed to the nurse that they had been gone hours when she saw Murray come hurriedly out, give some orders to the men and come over to where she stood. "We have found him. Miss McGregor, and he Is alive." Tte nurse's heart swelled with gratl tnde as she thought of the stern-faced man she admired so much, from his agony. He was so strong, and brave, and perhaps a sweet thought flashed through her mind perhaps she had helped to save his life. Soon he would be where she could care for hlra and help blm to regain his strength.

As he lay in the hospital bed, the chief had time to turn his thoughts to other things besides life's serious, absorbing side. He grew to watch for the comin? of the sweet-faced nurse and to count the minutes of her absence. The day he left the hospital the doctor told him how she had saved his life, and by th; look that came Into his eyes the doctor guessed that he would soon lose the head nurse of the hospital. The chief was exonerated. All his brigade knew that he had never sent his men where he would not go himself.

The last man taken from the disastrous Ore was the chief himself. (Copyright. 1901. by W. Werner.) WE WILL CURE YO'J roiaon.

Mr. Ducros was a thorough civilian, and reflected honor upon the New Orlenris bar. He was a gentleman of the old school, upright and truthftil in ail his deallmrs iml deportment. He filled public ofliee with credit to himself, and left It with the rndiminished confidence and esteem of bis fellow-citizens. In all the relations of life he performed bis part with a devotion to duty rarely equaled and never surpassed.

His death has left a void in this com-mnnlty which can not be easily filled. Therefore be It resolved by the Louisiana Bar Association, That the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal and the Clrfi District Court for the parish of Orleans be requested to spread the foresroing upon their minutes as a slight testimonial of the appreciation in which P. A. Ducros was held by the members of the legal profession, and that said tribunals be respectfully asked to adjourn in honor of bis niemorv. Signed by E.
